A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can try
it who has lame back or weak kid
neys, malaria or nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as a stim-
ulant to the liver and kidneys, is a blood
purifier and nerve tonic. 1t cures con
stipation, headache, fainting spells, sleep
lessness and melancholy. 1t is purely
vegetable, mild laxative, and restores
the system to its natural vigor. Try
Electric Bitters and be convinced that
they are a miracle worker. Only 30 cents

Sugar Beets.

No topic is of more interest to farmers
at present, than the successful manufac-
turing OF sugar from beets. 1t opens up
new industry that hinges upon a new
production from the farms, which is
of vastly greater profit to the producer
than anything heretofore attempted.
The thermal belt running across the
United States, within which 10 degrees
of temperature prevails during the sum
mer months, and within which the sugar
beet is most successfully grown in
Europe, passes centrally through our
county and is an indication as to where
the beet will be most certainly of great
importance in the near future. We are
now within the sphere of influence" OF
two factories Benton Harbor and Kala-
mazoo-which will probably be built the
coming summer, and can ship beets in
either direction, with freight rates to
Kalamazoo in our favor. These rates
will be 80 cents per ton for % miles and
under, and is so low as to place the lands
along the M. c. r. r. in as favorable
position for delivery to the factory as
farmers four or five miles out of the city,
who have to haul by teams.
There will be rate made from Paw
Paw that will be satisfactory, and those
who desire to grow beets. should decide
to do so at once, in order to get contracts
before the 5000 acres are taken.
The undersigned is sauthorized to accept
acreage to be reported at Kalamazoo on
Saturday next (21st). Send amount on
postal card or report in person.

CoIumbiu-"The Turtle,

With every seat ON the Columbia's 5 three
floors filled and people standing four lines
deep back of the chairs. the curtain at
Luckett & Dwyer's little playhouse rose
last night on The Turtle" For a full
hour before the occurrence of this expected
event prospective purchasers had been
pushing and crowding past the box Office
window buying tickets and occasionally
asking questions regarding the propriety
of seeing the piece For the bad reputa-
tion of Florenz Ziegfeld's importation was
what had drawn the big assembly, and all
through the evening the air was as full of
expectation as the theatre was of human
ity. Most OF the assembled auditors We're
looking for dirt with eagerneSs that would
drive crossing sweeper mad with envy.
IL is lucky for those who own the pro-
duction that the public is really anxious
for the risque and even for the vulgar. as
THE Turtle has nothing excepting these
attributes TO recommend il. One can hard
ly imagine how the farce achieved success
in city where the populace has been sur
feited with such things. The first act OF
the play is given to building up to the
much advertised disrobing scene, the sec
ond to exploiting the incident itself, and
the third to getting things back into the
position they occupied before the Offering
began. Briefly and Concisely, the only aim
visible in the otherwise pointless story is
this provision foEs sort of terrestrial
Charmion turn. Hence the comedy itself
is marvelousiy stupid and its plot offers
not the slightest opportunity for humor
Some OF the lines are bright and some Of
the by-play very diverting, but without
the affair mentioned The Turtle" would
have been turned on its back and left TO
die long ago.
And the episode in question is not so
very sensational. The auditor has Learned
that Il certain woman has secured di-
vorCe from her husband in order to wed
another man, whom she presently disc1V-
ers to have become enamored of some one
else. She breaks up the match and has the
decree of separation between herself and
her former lord annulled. But meanwhile
the said former lord has married again.
The first wife sees him. but is repulsed,
and, in ignorance OF. his new relation, de-
termines to resume her old connection with
him. She goes to his apartment and re-
tires. after having taken a glass of brandy
drugged for the purpose of curing the

Hijou-SaudeviiIe.

Manager Grieves has another big bill
this week at the Bijou, and as a result two
highly pleased audiences filed the cozy
house yesterday. If there is a more YER
satile or funnier man on the road than
Barney Pagan that individual has not been
seen here this season. In a clever little
comedy sketch he and Henrietta Byron
were seen at their best, and succeeded in
keeping the house in a roar. Leslie and
DeForrest present number OF new jokes
in their duologue; Adelaide Roattino re-
peats her former successes here, and En-
ma Carus proves as clever as she ever was.
Bernard Dyllyn is a feature of the bill, his
limitations and character songs being really
worth the price of admission" Charles
B. Nelson and Mamie Milledge appear in
a neat skit; Brannan and Collins are able
comedians; Kappe does some excellent
club juggling; the Ahrens contribute a
sensational acrobatic turn. and Thornton
and Marsh have number of new Illus
trated songs. The Bijou stock company
begins the show with the usual melange.

GrnntI-Naudeviilc.

According to the philosophy of the aver
age vaudeville manager a three-hour bill,
in which there are two good turns, may be
fifty termed meritorious. This being true,
a critic would not go far astray in calling
the entertainment offered Yesterday at the
Grand remarkable and interesting one.
For the directors of that now popular place
OF amusement have provided a programme
on which there is not single wearisomc
act, and neither "a woman nor man whose
ability is not notable. Then, too, the long
intermissions formerly marked in per-
formanCes are at present conspicuous By
their absence. and the show given is so
thoroughly enjoyable that the advertise
ment of the week-"the best booked in
any Eastern house"-seems to be any
thing but an idle boast.
There are three stars in the list OF peo-
pie seen-Robert Downing. Flo Irwin. and
Mark Murphy. All do creditably, and yet
have not a degree Of worth so paramount
that they eclipse the lesser lights. MIR.
Downing gives the arena scene from The
Gladiator in his old fashion, taking his
text from that line of the play which reads,
silence, Ny voice browns thiue.' His
work is impressive, however, and seems to
please. Miss Irwin. who is a sort Of fe-
male John G.. Rice. appears with Waiter

and this with her rendering of two coon
songs. carries her through to success.
Everyone in the house was pleased with
Mr.. Murphys old monologue-those with
bad memories because they could not re-
call it, and those with clear faculties for
the reason that the comedian tells h S
jokes well enough to make one care l.ttle
that he gave the same talk here two years
ago. and that some of the jests have aged
in that time. The ditties introduced are
all clever. though a parody on one of our
national airs seems in bad taste.
For the rest, Mile. Kenwick and Eleanor
Falk are strongly contrasted. The former
entertainer gives her darkey melodies in
the broad dialect. and with all the man
nerisms OF the real negress while the lat
ter idealizes her contributions until they
are as dainty and charming as she herself.
In addition to their coon songs, Mile. Ken
wick dances we'll and Miss Falk sings
