Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that contain rercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the

on prescriptions from reputable

do is ten fold to the good you can
possibly derive from them. Hall s

Rentfrow's Famous Jolly Pathfinders.

Fun-lovers will have, for their first
recreation after lent, opportunity to
enjoy the performances of the Oldest
and most famous comedy company in
existence-Rentfrow's Jolly Pathfind-
ers. The company was organized in
1873, and early in its history played
in this city. 1t has always ranked
among the best, presenting refined
comedy dramas, and unique farce
comedies peculiar to the Rentfrow
school; for Manager Rentfrow has
always been recognized as leading
exponent of the style of comedies af-
fected by the Pathfinders.
A rare treat will be given lovers OF
music, by very fine band and or
chestra. Neither is imposing as to
members, ten men com prising the
band and seven the orchestra; both
are first-class, and render music writ
ten by the great masters. Among
the overtures may be mentioned
"Zanipa," by Herolde; "Masaniello, a"
by Auber; "Nabocodonosar" by Verdi;
"Tancredi, by Rossini; "Poet and
Peasant" by Suppe, and marches by
Sousa, Bernard, Wagner and Morzdorf.
In open air band concert, Mr.. Jap.
Rentfrow will, on Monday evening,
render upon his baritone instrument
the solo'"Rocked in the Cradle of the
Deep" This selection will delight
every listener.
Some of the paper of the Pathfnd-
ers announces FIVE matinees. This is
a mistake; but one, on Saturday,
will be given, and it will be especially
for ladies and children. A four-a
comedy drama, The Lightning Ex-
press, will be presented Monday
night. 1t is replete with the richest
humor, intense dramatic interest, and
new, up-to.date specialties.
Monday and Tuesday evenings,
ladies will be admitted at reduced
rate, provided seats are reserved be-
fore 7 p. m. Settlement for advance
sale will be made at that hour, SO it
is imperative that seats be reserved
before then, in order to secure the re-
duced rate. The sale is now open at
Quenzeps.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purpose,
and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back Of
and very close to the bladder, there
fore any pain, disease or inconveni-
ence manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
easily avoided. To find out correctly,
set your urine aside for twenty tour
hours; a sediment or settling indi-
Gates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mild and the extraordinary effect OF
DIR. Kilmers Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, and bladder remedy is soon

A Common Superstition.

Many people believe that the breaking
of a looking glass is a certain sign of
death. The newspapers report that a
mother recently became insane after
dropping a mirror because she feared
that some of her loved ones would soon
die. There are other signs much more
dangerous than this. The most common
is a disordered stomach, which causes
nervousness, dyspepsia, Indigestion and
constipation. These symptoms tell the
sufferer that his DAYS will be shortened
unless he sets things right in his diges-
tive organs. For this purpose there IS
nothing so certain to cure as Hostetter 5

els, steadies the nerves and whets up

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

The man vino has no past hasn't gen.
orally much future.
1t is probas,le that babies do not have
souls until after they get through having
teeth.
Take any story and put baby and
death scene IN it and the women will cry
over it.
There are about as many men whose
mustaches curl naturally as there are
women who are shaped the same as Their
corsets are.
The women needn't set any store by
the fact that most men who commit sui
eide are unmarried. The married ones
can't afford to.
A real love generally gives more. than 1t
has. and receives less than it had to give.
1t is a wonan's function to shed tears
without crying and mans to cry with
out shedding tears.
A woman should find all men in her
husband and "a man should find no other
woman in his wife.
If the ass had told Balaam HIS politics
were wrong. he would probably have
thought it was trying to bray.
