consisted of choruses, solos, and sew.
eral motion songs-all showing the
utmost care and patience on the part
of teachers and scholars alike. The
music was good throughout, consider
ing the immature age Of participants.
Little Margaret Norris's violin solo
was exceedingly we'll rendered, and
like number of other numbers, was
encored. The Quaker chorus, Suwanee
River. Play House, Minuet, Doll Drill !,
Tambourine Drill in fact the entire
programme was we'll executed. Little
Harriet Wheeler's recitation brought
forth such a round of applause that
she was compelled to repeat.
Miss fowler sang the Suwanee river
sweetly, the high school illustrating
by pantOmimic gesture. 1t had to be
repeated. The high school boys did
we'll in chorus, and looked every inch
the thoroughbred collegians. The
Mother Goose drill was a pleasant
feature.
The house was crowded, and if the
enjoyment may be measured by the
applause it was one of the most sue
cessful entertainments ever given in
the city.

his case, Mr.. Sheldrick says:
Il have been a sufferer from kidney
trouble and acute rheumatism for the

Kidney Pills. After using two boxes
l was cured. 81 feel to-day ten years
younger than before, when l could
not go two blocks without sitting

in my back, across the kidneys.
thank God that the Divine Providence
led me to use those pills. l can rec
ommend them to all sufferers from
kidney troubles as being the best
thing that can be had, as I have ex-
perimented on every and all kinds OF
medicine and have never found it's
equal feel it my duty to let the
world know its merits. They have
made a new man of me.'
Mr.. Sheldrick lives at 500 Sibley
street. He is always ready to speak
a good word for Dodd 8 Kidney Pills,
and many who have followed his ad-
vice have been cured of kidney dis
eases in advanced stages.

Subscription, $1.5O a Year.

The legislature has adjourned
- was session not marked by any
nature distinctively good nor evil
Its sins of omission are more con-
spicuous than its sins of commits
sion. 1t failed to give some legis,
lation which was desired and de-
sirable-it gave none which was
pronouncedly bad and unWhole-
some. 1t did not increase taxation
it did not ease the burdens here
tofore existing. 1t did nothing
with the burning questions upon
this important matter. 1t failed to
pass the law increasing the tax
upon railroad gross earnings to
four per cent. That was at least a
political mistake. The question as
TO the legality or constitutionality
of such a law, which many of the
members urged in explanation or
excuse of their refusal to vote for
it has no force, in that the courts
would have settled that question, if
it had ever reached the courts.
There will be little in The next two
years administration of the affairs
of state to remind one that the leg
islature Of 1899 ever existed.

citizens will change the name of
