A SUCCESSFUL OPENING
The Camera Club Reception an
Enjoyable Affair.
SOME BEAUTIFUL VIEWS
The Amateur Exhibit Ii Praised on Al
sides-rwo Hundred and Fifty Peo-
pie Inspect b New Rooms
and the Scenes.

The opening Of the Camera club rooms
and the public reception given last
night was a highly successful affair
throughout. The rooms were filled to
overlooking for more than two hours.
and 1t is estimated hat at least $50
people passed through the rooms and
inspected the handsome display of
Photographic views.
The rooms have been fitted up in a
handsome I'M and the neat APP
pearance of everything about the place
was most favorably commented upon.
The rooms are very pleasantly situated
with an excellent view of Main street.
The dark room has been completed and
Is being used daily for development
work.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements for last nights reception
worked hard for the past week in get
ting the exhibit ready, but owing to
the difficulty in selecting the pictures
from the great number submitted all Of
the details were not completed. AS it
was. however, there were three frames
filled with amateur pictures, about 75
views in all. The pictures have been
selected with great care, and those who
looked them over last night Were unani-
nous IN their expression OF approval OF
the work ofothe amateurs.
The amateur views consisted of views
of scenes in and about the city: some
interior views and many shots at beau
tiful and coy ook along Warm
Springs creek and other streams. Views
of Bryan day were shown in quite a
variety. Three or four excellent views
of the rae track were also included.
An underground picture. showing min
ers at work with drill and hammer, was
much admired. 1t would be impossible
to give a detailed account of the ANA
teur exhibit. SO extensive was it. Some
of the views were original and
unique in the extreme. A good view of
yesterdays big parade vas also among
the lot.
Three frames of amateur work
were also shown. They consisted prin-
cipally of views in and about the works.
Pictures of the big engines, copper fur
naces, water tables n a score of
others. The pictures were finished in
an excellent manner, n are undoubt-
eddy the best that have ever been Sc
cured of the interior of the big smelt-
ing plant.
There are still four frames of profess
SIGNALS to come. but owing to the con-
dition Of the weather 1t has been i'm
possible to get them ready for last
nights reception. They consist of views
of the various public buildings, street
scenes, etc. They will be finished in a
day or two. The entire exhibit shown
last night, together with those yet to
come, is to be sent to the omaha expo
sition as Anaconda's portion of views
in the state of Montana.

But Few More Chances Left to Secure q
Piano or Organ.
I would kindly remind those who are
in a position to own a piano, or even
anticipate the purchase of one within
a year, that 1t would be a great saving
to do SO now, as at this great sale Of
our new scale Kimball pianos, made
by ourselves, at our own factory. which
are being sold here at the manufac-
turer's wholesale price, we can posi-
lively save you about 5000 on a piano,
and on some styles as much as $3.50.
This is worth saving to any man.
and is a difference below the regular
retail prices sufficient to fairly educate
the family in music. In buying one of
these pianos from the manufacturers,
you save all intermediate profits, deal
ers' margins, extra freights, etc. You
buy direct from the wealthiest and
most financially responsible piano on
Germs in the world. If there is any
better piano manufactured than the
new scale Kimball piano Of the pres
en- day, IL failed to show up at the
great Columbian exposition. where the
Kimball piano carried of highest hon
ors. Twenty-Five dollars down and SO
a month will take choice of any instru-
ment in the wareroom, 81 East Com
mercial avenue. opposite postofice.

A TRAVELLING MAN
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regarding thu
Care Of the Health While Travelling.

care OF Inc neaiiu mic IraVesb08.
Mr.. II. w. wincherdon. a CONNER
cial traveller from Birmingham. whose
business keeps his almost constantly
on the road, relates in h Sunday
News the dangers to health resulting
from constant change of residence. and
the way he overcame the usual injuri-
Gus effects.
He says: One thing people travelling
cannot very well avoid is the constant
change in water and food: the stom-
ach lever has an opportunity to be-
come accustomed to anything. and in
a few years. or much sooner, the aver
age travelling man becomes a hopeless
d~yspeptic.
For several years I suffered more or
less from indigestion, sour stomachs.
headaches. distaste for food, often no
appetite. gas on the stomach and the
usual unpleasant effects of imperfect
digestion.
Nearly every travelling man has his
favorite remedy for different troubles.
and l tried all of them with Indifferent
results. Finally on the train between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day l
overheard a conversation between two
ladies. one of whom had suffered Sc
verely from indigestion, and stated she
had been completely cured by a reme-
dy which she called Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets; i remembered h CONVERSE
ton, because it directly interested me;
and at the next town 1 inquired at the
first drug store and bought a package
for fifty cents, and from that day to
this / have never been without them.
They are pleasant tasting tablets, not
a secret patent medicine, but composed
of vegetable pure pepsin,
fruit salts and Golden Seal; being in
tablet form they never lose their good
qualities like a liquid medicine would,
but are always fresh and ready for
use.
1 carry a box in my pocket continu-
ally, and whenever 1 see any symptoms
of indigestion l take one. also one af-
ter each meal, and for a year and a
half 1 have not lost a day by reason
of poor health. and can eat anything
and relish what I eat; my digestion is
absolutely perfect. as far as I can
judge from my feelings, and although
there may be other stomach medicines
just as good as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. I do not know what they are.
Certainly for people who travel they
are far ahead of any liquid medicine.
as they are so convenient. they can be
carried in the pocket and used when
ever needed.
I believe they are sold by all drug
gists at 30 cents. and believe any one
who will try them will agree with me
hat for Indigestion and stomach
trouble Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
unequaled.

The mayor instructed Chief of Police
White to notify all OF the members
that there would be a meeting Mon

thought II was time IL were stopped.
