things:
"My father has had no attacks
for a week, now, and though be
had slight chill last night, / hope
this may not amount to anything
serious. His physicians say that
with proper care Of himself there is
no reason why he should not live
for many years, but that if he Is
indiscreet and insist on exerting
himself, either mentally or physi-
cially, he may at any time bring Oh
a recurrence that may prove fatal
They promise if his condition con-
tinues good that he will probably
be able to leave here in the course
of month; and say that several
weeks rest at some quiet seaside
resort, or in the mountains(perhaps
of North Carolina), will strengthen
him so that sea trip would be de-
sirable for him, l don't know yet
what he will do, but hope that he
will take good care of himself, and
that whatever he may do will bring

THE CONTENTED WOMAN.

We took in the "Contented Wo-
man " last night or rather the
"Contented Woman" took us in,
for as the boys say, we fell smooth
smack head over heels in love with
her face, form aud acting-Mss
Belle Archer is an actress that acts
free from stage rant, or any OF its
attendant assumption, she goes
about acting in a natural way and
captures her audience before they
know it.
What can be said of Miss Archer
as the Contcnted Woman, can be
said Of the several leading members
of the company. Mrs, Fanny Den
ham Rouse is an actress without a
flaw in the part of Amt Jim -
Miss Henrietta Lee as Mrs, Ebb
Smith, considered notorious from
the fact that she had been three
times in divorce courts and gave
wine suppers, played her part to
perfection, both in loud dressing
and her manner in charming the
men,
Miss Lee has the most pleasing
face in the cast. Mr., Arthur
Buchanan, Charles P.Morrison and
Arthur Gregory are all fine actors
aud did their part well, Other
members of minor parts sustained
the play throughout
The play itself is based on wo.
mans rights to vote, in fact to be a
man.
The scene opens with Mr., Benton
Holmes as a candidate for mayor
of Denver, Col, He is in love with
his wife and she is contented with
his love, but when he entered poll
tics he did not bestow his usual
amount Of kisses, (he didn't have
time } and she resented it by be
coming a candidate against him,
They were rich and the leg pulIer'
visited their homes at all times of
the day and night, and the meney
they gave away in their frantic
efforts to beat each other would
buy war ship,
The sequel was--the woman won
but she broke down and cried and
would not qualify but turned the
Office over to the next highest one
in the race, who was her husband,
aud the curtain went down an the
most 'coatented woman in the
cast, The play shows politics as
it Is practiced every where aud
makes cue almost sick TO think our
officers have to stoop Go such low
down methods as being bled to get !
an office.

RAILROAD Y. NJ. C. A.
Nine Thousand Dollar Building to Be
Erected at Poplar Bluff.

Mr.. Robert Heriot, the well
kuown Iron Mountain engineer
brings information of a notable en-
terprise on foot at Poplar Bluff,
Me-, which should be Of general
interest to the railroad world and
the general public as well. The
railroad mems department of the
Y. N. C. A. are arranging to erect
a So, 600 building at that place for
the accommodation and comfort of
railroad employees who lay over
there. II will be erected on the
Ferguson property, near the depot,
and will be found to be great
convenience to all 1t will be a
brick building, three stories, fully
equipped, and designed exclusive
ly for the benefit of the railway en-
ployes.
The Iron Mountain furnishes
$4,000 of the necessary funds, the
employees will raise $1,000, and the
city of Poplar Bluff is expected to
contribute $4,000 at least to the
cause. Miss Helen Gould, whose
open-hearted aud widespread BEN
evidence has made her name be
loved from Santiago to San Fran
cisco, will donate $500 to supply the
reading room.
There will be sleeping apartments
where the men may secure lodging
at ten cents a night. There will
alse be library, bath room, read
iBg room, ten pin alley, etc, that
it may be made attractive as possi-
BILE to the men. The porties have
until April to raise the funds,
and, as splendid progress has
already been made, there will be no
default in the proposed plans "A
similar institution is being estab-
lished at Texarkana, and it is the
purpose to provide them through
out the system. The dues are only
three dollars year, which will be
more than balanced by the con
veniences provided in baths, lodg-
ing, etc.-Arkansas Democrat
