THE KIDNEYS.

Kidney troubles are undoubtedly
the cause Of more deaths than any 9TH
er disease, for the reason that their
approach is slow and gradual, and, as
a rule, unaccompanied by warning
symptoms. The Kidney relieves the
sy stem of all poisonous material. and
discharge it through the urine. When
they become diseased the poison re-
mains in the blood, gradually increas-
ing in minute quantities until the sys-
tenn can no longer resist its effects.
The heart becomes affected, action
fails and dropsy appears. The nervous
system is poisoned and commissions are
/ followed by death.
The liver and kidneys act like drains
to collect and carry away waste and
worn out materials from the body. In
! the spring the functions of these organs
are imperfeetfy performed, and the or
gans become clogged by the wast'
matters which ere thus retained IN th'
hsystem. That is why you are so weaE
tired and lanquid, wake tired morn
ings, and lack your usual strength en-
ergy and vim in the spring. That
why you have weakness and pain IN tn
side or back, high-colored urine. wit
T sediments, headache, coated tongue
, bad taste in the mouth, thirst, billloui
ness, constipation, cold feet, poor Gil
culation, extreme nervousness an
j. Frustrated feelings.

TlVOli

The last week of the comic opera sea- son at the Tivoli is at hand. Last even ing the initial production of "The Beggar Student" was heard. The singing was superb and the piece was well cast throughout. Roma has proved a great favorite, and last evening scored another success as Laura, daughter of Countess Palmatica- The opera opens with a pris- on yard scene, behind whose iron gates Symon, the beggar student, and his com panion Jan are confined. The character of the Beggar Student is well carried out by Phil Branson and John J. Rafael, whose ability is well known to theater- goerS In this city, assumes the role of his companion. General Ollendorf, repre- sented in the person of Edwin Stevens, commander of the fortress at CracoW has been offended by Laura, and to avenge Symon, his liberty and wealth if he will tmpersonate great lord and in this dis guise gain Laura's hand. This he sue
 ceeds in doing. His companion, who has also been liberated and acts as his secre- tary, in turn gains the love of Laura $ younger sister Bronislava, which char The wedding bells chimed and all were happy until suddenly the festivities are interrupted by the arrival of the jailer, Enterich, played by William H. West, with band of drunken prisoners. This uninvited horde tell the story of the Beg gar Students life, and amid general de- rision he Is driven from the Countess
 house. Here the strongest features of the opera develop-Laura' grief, her magnificent singing, as happiness Is wrested from her, the anger of Symon, the surprise and grief of Bronislava, whose lover is also branded an impostor, the despair of Jan and the cruel joy of General Ollendorf when he sees that he is revenged. The curtain drops on the second act with these conditions existing and rises in the third with the Beggar Student delirious with the wrongs he has had to suffer. Later, however he and his companion succeed in wrestling the citadel from the oppressors of Poland
 1t is proved that Symon and Jan are noblemen of rank, and reconciliation and joy reign again. Many interesting fea- lures are added to the plot and those who went to enjoy remained to laugh, so- the performance was a success.

A HOME FOR BOYS.
New Blood Infused Into an Old
 Charitable Organization.

Several years ago D. M. Carman and other charitably disposed people created an institution, called the Boys Training Home. which had for it's object the care and support of homeless, worthy boys. Schools and reading rooms were provided and work shops established where young lads could secure knowledge and learn some of the useful trades. The venture was very gratifying and many boys were benefited, besides having place which they could call their home The promot- CTS being called into other fields, the es- fahlishment was allowed to run down. Last April Mir. Carman resigned, and on May 1 remaining directors met and vot- ed the institution out of existence, and the home at 26 Laurel place was practi- cally closed.
 The good work has not been allowed to die, for yesterday many of the members of the Eureka Society for the Protection of Children decided to revive the institu- ton, and they organized what will be known as the Boys Home. The aims and ohjects of the new body will be the same as those of the old. At yesterdays meet ing the following officers and directors were elected:
 Mrs. John Pettee president; L. R. Goldberg, vice-president; Mrs. L. Marsh, secretary; Mrs. E. L. Wadhanl, treasurer; A. H. Hutchinson, resident manager. The board of directors will consist of the officers and the following mem hers; Isaac Upham, E. L. Wadham, D. $. 0iRrien Mrs R. Clayton Brown, Mrs. A. Ahern and Miss Manley.

Orpheun.

The Orpheum has another of its great bills on this week. It would seem as If the list of good things might be exhaust ed, but the Walter Orpheum Company keeps right on finding them and their ef- forts are rewarded by liberal patronage. Four new acts are on this week and there is not "a weak sister" to use a theatrt- cal term, in the lot. The Angela sisters are q trio of pretty girls who sing and whistle solos, duets and as a trio. They scored a hit, particularly their medley of national airs. Wilton and Stack, the horizontal bar artists, demonstrated that they are artists in every sense of the word. There is a finish to their work that gives them rank among the great est in their line. The Orpheum has In times past brought out the greatest aero bats in the world, and Wilton and Stack can, after their work last night, take place among the best of them. An equal ly great act, though along different lines, is the act of the three Marto sisters on the tight wire They are each very clever and any one of them would be a drawing card in her work on the wire alone, but they all three are on the wire at the same time. When one stops to consider that the slightest misstep on the part of ance, the performance by the three Is remarkable. In all their work they are finished and show the training of a Eure- pean acrobat The climax of their act Is where two of the girls, suspended heads downward, take each end of the wire in their mouths and then the third mounts the wire. all three playing musi- cal instruments at the time.
 w. H. Windom and his Black stone quartet scored hit Mr
 Windom has a remarkable voice. Joseph Hart and Carrie de Mar appeared in a new act, "Dr. Chaunceys Visit" In many points this act serves to show to better advantage the talents of this yer satile couple than their, opening act. The quick change by Miss de Mar from a de- mure maiden to the swellest coon in town Is very clever piece of character work. The act is full of funny situations which arise over a confusion of names. Gilbert and Goldie are still favorites and Val more appeared in a few new limitations and the best of last weeks work Lorenz and Allen on the bill.

 Fresh Deal.
FOUR HUNDRED COLTS RIFLES
TAXPAYERS WILL HAVE TO PAY
 FOR THE LUXURY.
Nearly Four Thousand Dollars and the Good Winchesters Given in Exchange for
 Them.

The sharpshooters of the police depart nent will now have a chance to display heir craftsmanship. As they signally ailed to bring down Haynes the mur- lerer of Lieutenant Burke, after having red over 100 shots at him, Chief Lees and Captain Whitman decided that the Win hesters which they used were in a meas ire responsible for the failure of their nen to riddle the defiant tinker with bull cts.
 After discussing the matter the incom- letent Chief and his blundering Captain lecided to purchase a new lot of rifles, ust to show the dear public that they an shoot.
 They sent for the local representative of he Colts Flrearm Company, and entered nto contract with him to supply the de- lartment with 400 of the latest improved 'olt's repeating rifles. Yesterday the lot .rrived at police headquarters and were urned over to Whitman, he of the cold eet and clamm.' shake.
 Accompanying the rifles was a bill for 3612. Whitman explained that the Colts Company had kindly" consented to take he Winchesters off his hands, allowing i'm $ 90 for each of the 100 rifles. He be- anne so enthusiastic over the great bar ,ain," as he expressed it. that he affec- ionately poked the old Chief in the ribs, ausing the latter to scowl and swear.

I desire to inform you what CUTIcURA (oint- ment) and CUIICURA SOAP have done for my wife. She was in the most horrible condition of any human being, from that most torturlng of skin diseases, Eczema. She could neither sit down or lie down, her torture was so in- tense. I tried all the doctors that could reach, but she got so that I firmly believe that she would have died within twelve hours if I had not been advised of CUTIcURA REM EDIEs and got them. A travelling man on seeing her condition told me what to get, and you may believe that 1 lost no time in getting them.

The course of study in the public Jchools will probably remain unchanged. The Board of Education met as a com nittee of the whole last night and dis ,ussed a new course submitted by School Superintendent R. H. Webster: but f1n- lily it was decided that the new course would necessitate the purchase of numer- pus new books, and would cause consider lble confusion in the school department Therefore the following resolution, offered by Superintendent Webster, was agreel lpon for adoption at the next regular ses- sion of the board:
 Resolved, That the course of study for the rear 1898 be continued and that the Superin- ;endent. having consulted with the teachers recommend to the proper committee from time 70 time such suggestions will tend to pro note and render uniform the standard of effl- siency of work accomplished in the depart nent.
