ADJUSTMENTS.

The Daley Company presented For
get Me Not at the Clunie Opera house
last night. With the memory of JEFF
Teys Lewis as Stephanie it was inpossi-
BILE not to compare Miss Nannary's as
sumption of that character with that
of Miss Lewis. OF course the latter
easily assumed the sinuous dark and
vengeful characteristics befitting the
character CT the adventures. But put
ting aside the earlier actresses per-
formance, and judging Miss Nannary's s
on its own merits it is to be said that
1t was heroic and successful effort. 1t
was read with strength, depicted with
passionate emotion and fine assumption,
devilish cunning. The amiable coun-
tenance of the artist, however, is not
susceptible of the full facial disguisos
and expressions one must associate with
the Stephanie of the play. But not
withstanding it was praiseworthy and
an artistic work that Miss Nannary did.

The Magical sForty winks."

Every one accustomed to mapping
must have remarked how much more
refreshing is nap of five, ten or TWEEN
ty minutes than a long day time sleep
of two or three hours. This is because
in short nap the brain and senses are
rested without relaxing the muscu-as
and nervous systems. II is simply
breaking up of the current of conscious
activity, thus restoring the tonicity Of
the system. From which the Inference
is clear that it is the nap habit OF
only the forty winks" order that is
desirable to cultivate; and the duties
of almost every one Will admit of such
refreshment so far as time is concern
ed. Indeed, there is no better way of
gaining time on a busy day than to
cut out fifteen or twenty minutes for re-
newing the energies. After a morn
ing's effort body and mind both grow
tired; the work flags; things go
wrong" Now is the time for the magic
dip, from which. you return to your post
fresh, in good spirits. ready to carry
on things with a vim. 1t scarcely seems
reasonable that a few minutes daily
sleep should have any marked effect
upon the health, but that such is the
case any one may prove by trial-Ella

SACRAMENTANS FIND GOLD.
RICH PLACER STRIKES NEAR
LAKE ATLIN.
Neil Macarthur and Frank Gonazee
Are Said to Have Struck

Charles Butler, a brawny and storm
beaten miner from the Lake Atlin coun-
try, British Columbia, arrived IN sac
ramento yesterday, on his way TO MS
home in Nevada

Macarthur and Frank Gonazee, and they
gave me letters to give to Sacramento
friends Well, in the hurry, or on the
trip, I've forgotten or lost the letters,
and I've lost their friends names.
The old miner then said that Gonazee
and Macarthur (and the latter's name
is in the directory of 1898 as an employe
of the Electric, Gas and Railway Com
pany) were his friends, and that both
had made strikes.
It's a great country" he said, "and
far milder than the Dawson country;
it's just ais fine as any out OF doors,
and when I left there a month ago the
grass was high and everything fine.
Macarthur and Gonazee have hit it big.
Mac came in with sixteen yoke of oxen
and he soon went in with Gonazee, and
the two now have seven big placer
claims, where some of the nuggets
weigh an ounce. God only knows what
the boys are worth now, probably
million. The strikes there have been
kept sort of quiet, but the country is
bound to come to the front, for it is
full of gold.

by friend in the British army, SO l

too. I'm going home to report my luck

Mr.. Macarthur doubtless meant these
letters for us, as he has corresponded

Indian was directing them where to go

Electricity and Shade Trees.

The effect of electric wires on shade
trees is a subject that has vexed the
souls of two-thirds of the householders
of New Orleans, and the telephone, tele-
graph and light people know to their
sorrow that it has occasioned vast
deal of anxiety among the public at
large. AS to the facts, there is quite
conflict of testimony, and even the
experts differ. "As a general thing"
said well-posted electrician, "a wire
carrying low-power current will do
no harm, while those of higher voltage
are extremely destructive to all kinds
of shrubbery. However, there are
many exceptions based on conditions
we don't understand For instance, a
wire passing through two trees of the
same kind will Sometimes kill one and
leave the other unscathed. The big
electric corporations are having the
subject investigated at present by emf
nent biologists, and solution of the
problem would save them lot of
money"
Along this line a man connected with
local company tells quaint story.
"Some time ago." he says, "a prominent
citizen came raging into our office and
declared that wire of ours had killed
a pet tree on his premises. That tree
has been standing there for twenty
years, he said. and we regarded it as
one of the family. My children played
under it when they were babies and it's
associated with some of the pleasant
est memories of my life. When it be-
gan to die we all mourned, and we

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an All
solute Cure for Dyspepsia and
stomach Troubles.
Ridicuie, However. is Not Argument, and
Facts Are Stubborn Things

Aioicuie, however, Is Not Argument, and
Facts Are Stubborn Things.
Stomach troubles are so common and
in most cases SO obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a radical
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi
gestion- Many such pride themselves
on their acuteness in never being hum
bugged. especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, SO far, in fact. that
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk a little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of a preparation so reliable
and universally used as Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not
a secret patent medicine, no secret is
made of their ingredients, but analysis
shows them to contain the. natural di-
gestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin,
the digestive acids, golden seal, bis
muth, hydrastis and nux. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act power
fully on any organ, but they cure indi-
gestion on the common sense plan of
digesting the food eaten thoroughly be-
fore 1t has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartfc pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach
troubles because they act entirely on
the bowels. whereas the whole trouble
is really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken af-
ter meals digest the food That is all
there is to it. Food not digested or
half digested is poison as it creates gas,
acidfty. headaches, palpitation of the
heart, loss of flesh and appetite and
many other troubles which are often
called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at so cents per package. Adj
