"THE PASSION Play
An Interesting Representation Given AZ,
the Gross Opera House Thursday
Evening. sS

AT the Gross opera house Thurs
day evening Edison's reproduction
OF the famous Passion Play OF
Ober- Ammergau. was given to q
large and well pleased audience. The
history of this play need not begiven
by us, us it was the subject OF d
highly interesting and Instructive
lecture by Rev. Father Cleary, of
Minneapolis, which a majority Of
our citizens heard and still remem.
Der. Mr.. Lawrence Holmes, under
whose direction the reproduction
is given, made some Introductory
remarks. in which he stated that the
time had passed for adverse criti-
cism upon anything approaching a
correct reproduction of this world
famous play. r..
Wilt is OF course. biblical history H.
Illustrated with animated pictures
that give vivid description of the
life OF Christ and, cannot fail to
make q good impression upon the
minds OF all who witness it. :,
1t begins with the scene of the APP
pearance OF the Star of Bethlehem to
the Shepherds. and ends with the
Lords last meeting with his disci-
pies and the Ascension. 1t includes
all the principal events in the life OF
Christ as presented in "The Passion
Play" even to the. crucifixion. Dur
ing the course OF the performance
Mrs. Holmes explained the pictures
and told the story of each scene.
The performance was d most Inn
pressive one and throughout the au-
dience maintained a reverential ST.
lence. The portrayal Of the story SO
we'll known was vivid and contained
nothing offensive to those whose re-
ligious feelings are more or less sensi-
tive. &
Previous to the presentation of the
passion Play" number of scenes
from the late war were thrown on
the canvass. Among them were
pictures Of the rough riders and bonn
bardments of the Spanish strong,
holds in Cuba by the American navy.
The pictures were also very interest
ing and each one was greeted with
rounds of applause. ~
just before the conclusion Mr..
Holmes announced that ''The Pas
sion Play" would be given again
this evening with a change of the
war and other pictures. He also an
nounced matinee fop this afternoon
that would not commence until after
the schools were closed. For the ma
tinee Mr.. Holmes made a very liber-
al offer. The price of admission for
children, he stated, would be 10
cents. He particularly desire the
attendance of the children, and all
children who were too poor to pay
this ten cnnts would be admitted
free by simply bringing with them d
card from some citizen stating that
the child was poor. The play is OF
special interest and benefit to tn"
children, and there win no doubt be
a. large Attendance at>the matinee.

MODERN SLAVERY
Caused by Weak. Exhausted Stomachs, Il
Almost Universal.

You, reader. would not permit your
neighbor to call you out of bed at mid
night and oblige you to walk the pave
1nent for two or three hours every
night. You would not allow him to
burn your hand wilfully, nor to cut
your finger off, just to please him.
Why, then, do You allow your stomach
to cause you loss of sleep, nightmare,
and continual suffering? Every dys-
peptic, every sufferer from indigestion.
biliousness, heartburn, waterbrash,
catarrh of the stomach and other stom-
ach diseases, is slave to his or her
stomach. There is one way-on1y one
of breaking the chains of this slav-
cry. That is by using Dodd's Dyspep-
STA Tablets.
These digest the food you have eaten.
They don't need aid from the stomach,
which is therefore given time to rest
and gain strength. They regulate the
bowels, which carry off the waste Por-
ton of the food not used in making
blood. Thus the stomach is emptied
and prepared to receive the next meal.
No foul gas can form in the stomach
if you use Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets,
for the food is digested by them at
once and does not remain in the storn-
ach to rot and cause disease.
