Gr.nd-.The Da.xler.,

The only really brilliant thing about
THE DaZzler'' is some of its dialogue.
The writer of the piece seems to have ex-
erted himself to get up unhackneyed and
funny jokes and has.succeeded. Most of
the laughs produced last night could be
traced to these. The piece deals with the
tribulations of Wertzburger Ratz. re-
tired brewer. in connection with Miss Kit
ty Starlight, footlight queen. Mr.. Emile
Heusel plays the part of RatZ in a way
which is quite funny and very Dutch.
The other leading character is one Eze-
kiel Pipes. played by Mr.. Will West. This
part is introduced for no apparent rea-
son. and recurs during the performance
with irritating frequency. Mr.. West is
not an actor in any sense of the word,
and he is not sufficiently a contortionist
to be entitled to much applause on that
score. There is some good dancing, done
by Frank G. Mack and Mr.. Heusel. The
chorus cannot sing, and their costumes
are inartistic. The whole thing is a COM
plication of inanities. with the exception
of one song, introduced in the third act.
which is really a good piece of patriotic
sentiment. and received a burst of enthu-
siastic applause.

Missouri State Teachers Association,

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, January IA thank you for the
notice you have taken Of the Missouri State
Teachers Association.
Only two teachers have been named who at
tended from this county, viz: Superintendent
MCMILLAN, Of the Mexico Public Schools, ana E..
L. Rodgers, of the Friendship School,, Sailing
Township. Both Of these teachers are small in
stature, but large in everything necessary to
adorn the profession of the teacher. II is useless
to say anything in praise OF Mcmillan. His suo-
cess In making the Mexico Public Schools the
pride OF Mexico, speaks volumes in his praise,
E.. L. Rodgers has unbounded energy; his whole
soul is in his work. You will always find such
teachers as Rodgers commanding the highest
salaries. You will find them attending Township
Institutes, County Institutes and State Teachers
Associations. Audrain numbers more than one
hundred and fifty teachers, with It's grand Har-
din College. the pride not only of MIssouri, but of
the Mississippi Valley. It has private schools,
such as the Misses Sprouts Academy, OF Mexico,
under the charge of two OF the most scholarly
and accomplished ladies of Missouri, ana the
Collins Academy, of Laddonia, the pride of Lad
donia, and other private Institutions. Including
the County Commissioner the State Teachers
Association had three representatives.
ihis Is not only a commentary on our teachers,
but the illiberal spirit shown by our railroads in
contrast to other great roads. Had the G. & A,
road made one fare for the round trip many
teachers would have attended. Counties that
had not a mile OF railroad In their limit had from
ten to twenty representatives In the Association
or twelve hundred teachers. Roads from the
southeast and southwest had one fare for the
round trip, also roads from Kansas City and st.
Louis.
In conclusion, allow me 20 say our county
papers should have q liberal support from the
teachers of Audraln, for they publish our pro-
grammes and other matter pertaining TO schools,
without charge.

Doctors Mistakes.

Many times women call on their
family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another
from heart disease, another from liver
or kidney disease, another from ner-
vous exhaustion or prostration, an
other with pain here and there, and
in this way they all present, alike to
themselves and their easy-going and
Indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which
he %prescribes his pills and potlons,
assuming them to be such, when, in
reality, they are only symptoms
caused by some womb disorder. The
physician, ignorant of the cause of
suffering, encourages his s'prdctice'
until large bills are made. The suffer-
ing patient gets no better, but prob
ably worse, by reason of the delay,
wrong treatment and consequent
complications. A proper medicine,
like DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
directed to the cause, would have en-
tirely removed the disease, thereby
dispelling all those distressing symp-
stoms, and instituting comfort instead
of prolonged misery. This medicine
enables a sensitive, modest woman to
avoid the unnecessary physicians
s.examinations'' and his generally
useless and ~stereotyped "local ap-
plication' treatment.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Jan. 12.-2 q.
m.-Telephone message just received
from Fort Smith reports that place
devastated by a cyclone, which struck
the city at II p. m.
Whole blocks of buildings we're lev
eled by the wind, many lives being
crushed out, while scores of persons
were manned by the flying bricks and
timbers.
To add to the terror and horror of
the scene, fire broke out in the debris
and added many victims to the already
appalling number.
The electric light plant was destroy
ed, as was also the gas works and in
consequence the work of rescue had
to be conducted by the ftful light of
torches or blazing homes ofthe strick-
en- citizens.
All communication with outside
points was cut off, telegraph and tel
ephone wires being carrsed away and
not till Las a. m. was connection
made with the state capital by means
of a poorly working telephone.
1t is impossible at this hour to give
aught but the meagerest details of
the disaster that has befallen our city,
but it is believed that the loss of life
will reach fully Fifty, while the more
or less seriously injured will approx
mate closely upon one hundred.
The property loss will be consider
ably in excess of $500, 900 and may
reach $1,000, 900, as many of our fin
est buildings were destroyed.
The cries of the injured and lamen-
tations of wives, daughters and sweet
hearts, bereaved in a moment by the
terrible calamity that has befallen us,
makes this indeed a night of horror
without parallel.
