The sterling merit of the company,
and the special reduction in prices to
lady patrons, resulted in another
crowded house at the Grand last night,
to witness the production Of 'The
Bankers Daughter" by the Tommy
Shearer company. The star had role
to sustain for which he is admirably
fitted, and the comedy work was in
most capable hands. Miss Standish
was really excellent in the title role,
displaying emotional powers Of no
mean order. Between acts there were
descriptive songs and other specialties,
including an amusing act by Tommy
Shearer and Babe Johnson. This
afternoon the company will present
"The Factory Girl" and tonight "The

IL, must be strong and healthy and are
pretty sure to live to a ripe old age. Un-
fortunately, the rush and hurry of modern
business life will not permit the average
man to take frequent outdoor exercise.
In lieu of a life spent partly in the woods
and on the water, man must find some
kind of medicine to tone up and invigorate
him and ircite the vital organs of his body
to the faithful performance of their normal
functions. Dr.. Picrce's Golden Medical
Discovery Is the only thoroughly effective
action is upon the organs that feed the
blood, the stomach, the large intestines and
the liver. 1t facilitates the flow of the di-
gestive juices in the stomach and the
production of healthy chyle in large guam
titles in the large intestines. 1t invigorates
the liver and puriies and enriches the
blood. When the blood is rich and pure
the old, inert tissues throughout the body
are torn down and replaced by new and
healthy flesh tissues and nerve 6bers. If
mans blood is filed with the rich, pure
elements of health, he can get along with
scantJ amount of exercise. Disease germs
can gain no foothold in his system

HARVESTING SMALL GRAIN.
women Working in the Fields to
Save Crops.

Omaha. Neb, Aug. THAT section of the
great corn and wheat belt formed by north
western Iowa. northeastern Nebraska.
southwestern Minnesota, and southeastern
South Dakota is witnessing the extraor-
binary spectacle of hundreds of women
working in the harvest fields to save the
small grain. Such a sight was never seen
before. Men and even boys are offered 50
a day, but cannot be obtained The scar
city of men is due TO the pressure of rail-
road building going on in the north and
west
On account OF the recent heavy rains and
windstorms. necessitating restocking and
rushing the work to save from blight, all
hands have had 10 turn into the fields. II
is the wettest harvest since 1883. Since
cutting began a week ago three tornadoes
have swept that section and rain has fallen
in torrents. When the harvesters went
into the fields. the splendid stands of grain
promised one of the biggest small grain
crops ever produced. Now the farmers
will be glad to save half crop.
The most sanguine estimate for wheat Is
ten bushels to.the acre. In some sections
rot and half filed ears are complained Of
but the greatest loss is entailed by lodging.
Whole fields are matted and beaten into the
ground beyond recovery. Corn has been
loosened in sections where the storms have
been most violent, but on the whole ii still
promises a splendid yield. Harvesting OF
the small grain is half over and will be
finished by August 10.

feared the men might fall OF, and he or
dered them to go inside. They refused
point blank to comply with the order, and
when the conductor seized one of them by
the arm they all set upon him, and one OF
them struck him a severe blow on the
head. Climinson fell to the platform un

Brakeman Wood and Flagman Connolly
he would doubtless have fallen from the

served in the late war and fought at the

While the famous National Rifles, with
their attractive red coats, is no longer an
active military organization in the sense
that it was when the company was cr-
ganized about twenty years ago. still it
continues to maintain a semi military ap-
pearance. and the name of the company
will. by the recent action Of the board of
directors, be perpetuated, as a part. t.of the
militia of the District.
The gentlemen who now comprise the
National Rifles Corporation, having done
their share of military service, and pot de-
string to continue active duty, suggested,
at recent meeting of the board OF diree-
tors. that steps be taken te form COM
pany of seventy-hye young men, to be
known as the National Rifles Cadet Corps,
which. when organized, shall make appii-
cation for admission into the National
Guard of the District of Columbia. The
proposition was adopted unanimously. and
already fifty members have been enrolled,
and more than enough applications have
been filed to complete the junior organi-
Zation. -.4...-- I.s-

of the National Rifles who has been iden-
titled with the company since its organiZa-
ton, said to a Times reporter today that
the present organization will equip and

and furnish them quarters in the Armory

the large drill room. Mr.. Evans stated
that only young men of excellent character
who belong to the best families in the Dis

pleted il will be thoroughly drilled. and
early In the fall when the application for
admission into the National Guard will be

All the expense of raising the company
will be borne by the parent organization
which will continue as corporation.

scene OF some of the most fashionable
