Barbarian" Coming.

The Waldrof Company in "Ingomar the
Barbarian" Coming.
The distinguished actrice, Miss
Janet Waldorf, and her superb COM
pany will present that classical drama
"Ingomar the Barbarian" to the
theater-gOers of Salem, Saturday
evening, April 8, and the finest per-
formance of the season is anticipated.
In the range of the drama there is no
play that appeals so thoroughly and
completelyto all classes and conditions
of theater-goes as Mary LoYePs cele-
brated dramatization Of "Ingomar the
Barbarian" Pure in tone, lofty in
conception, noble in sentiment, it
runs the entire gamut of our better
nature, touching the tenderest chords
of the human heart, arousing the
highest sympathy for our fellCwman
and admiration for heroic selt.sacri-
tlce.
Though cast in the early days of
legendary lore, the tale is as simple
as a domestic story of today, and the
jeplum, the tunic and the tOga Of
ancient times might be exchanged
for the modern customes of the
presen day without losing its effect
hence the secret Of its success. No
problem is sought to be solved, no
theory to be exploited, sbut a simple
tale of human love, with its SORROWS
and its joys domestic picture of
humble life with Its sunshine and its
shadows. The one intensified by its
contrast with the other.
A song that has been sung by poets
from the creation of the world, and is
ever new, melody, that never falls
upon the ear but 1T grows more beau.
tiful as time rolls on. Such is the
story of"Ingomar the Barbarian, "and
such are the plays that honor and up
hold the stage, sustaining the drama
as factor in our civilization, uplift-
ing the people by their influence and
shedding lustre on the men aud
women who by nature, tempermeat
and ability are capable of represent
ing them. Reserved seats now on sale

A POPULAR MISTAKE.
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans
is indigestion or In its chronic
form. dyspepsia, and for the very
reason that 1t is so common many
people neglect taking proper treat
ment for what they consider tritilng
stomach trouble, when as matter of
fact, indigestion lays the foundation
for many iCcurable diseases. No per-
sou with a vigorous, healthy stomocn
will fall a victim to consumption.
Many kidney diseases and heart
troubles date their beginning from
poor digestion; thin, nervous people
are really so because their stOmachs
are out of gear: weary, languid, faded
out women owe their condition to
imperfect digestion.
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion it is
not surprising that nearly every secret
patent medicine on the market claims
to be cure for dyspepsia, as well as a
score of other troubles, when In fact,
as DR.. Werthier says, there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per-
fectly safe and reliable, aud moreover,
this remedy is not a patent medicine,
but it is scientific combination Of

Tablets. No extravagant claims are
made for them, but for indigestion or
any stomach trouble, Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are far ahead of any
remedy yet discovered. They act on
the food eaten, no dieting is necessary,
simply eat all the wholesome food you
want and these tablets will digest it.
A cure results, because all the stom-
ach needs is rest, which Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets give by doing the
work of digestion.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The govern

Germany, Russia, Austria and Italy
were represented at the White House.
Within few minutes all the am
bassadors had been ushered into the
blue room, and the president i'm
mediately left his Office and went
down tn meet them.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, as represen-
tative of the powers, presented the
following:
"The undersigned, representatives
of Germany, Austria Hungary, France,
Great Britain, Italy and Russia, are
duly authorized in that behalf to ad-
dress in the name of their respective
governments pressing appeal to the
feelings Of humanity and moderation
OF the president and of the American
people in their existing differences
with Spain. They earnestly hope
that further negotiations will lead to
an agreement which, while securing
the maintenance of peace, will afford
all necessary guarantees for the re
establishment of peace in Cuba. The
powers do not doubt that the human
itarian and purely disinterested
character of this representation will
be fully recognized and appreciated by
the American people,"
President Mckinley replied as fol-

so strong that at the council of MN
listers the heads of the military and

Premier Sagasta, according to his
custom, will try to conciliate the OBJ
jectors in his cabinet, his intention
being to eDdeavor to keep all his pres

cising the conduct Of Sagasta with

HOUSE.
Little evidence of excitement ex-
listed when the house met at noon.
The debate on the railway reorgani-

Grosvenor, replying to Lentz (O.)
said message from Lee was received
on Tuesday, and one received yester-
day, which was very urgent, He
said the second was an appeal for
time.
Speaking of the notes of the powers,
Grosvenor said the presidents reply
put an end without qualification to
eyer delay or interference from the
powers.
In the speech that drew forth Gros-
venor's remarks, LentZ charged that
the administration gave Lees dis
patch as a reason for not sending in
the message, but that it was for the
purpose of working on the stock
market.
