The engagement of Herbert KeIcey and
Effie Shannon, at the Columbia Theatre,
next Monday night, will be made especially
attractive by the first production in this

unusual distinction as the author of
christopher. Jr-." played by John Drew
and Maude Adams. and "kn American
Citizen" presented by Nat Goodwin and
Maxine Elliott. My Lady Dainty is said

comedy, in the depletion Of which Mr..
Kelcey and Miss Shannon long ago won
their first honors when they were the
prominent figures in the old Lyceum The

My Lady Dainty is said to possess al
the thrilling heart interest which charac-
terized The Moth and the Flame" in
which the co-stars won such favor two
seasons ago. and in addition, it has the
advantage of sparkling comedy interest
which is great relief to the emotional
episodes. Stress need scarcely be laid upon
ths fact that Miss Shannon's charming
personality should fit her ideally for the
title role; in fact, the title describes the
actress graces as woman and as an art
ist. The play will be presented with a
complete equipment of new scenery and
with a supporting company of reputed abil-
ity. The sale of seats will commence to-
morrow morning.

COLLEAGUES MEET.
Gov. Roosevelt Pays a Visit to Prcsi-
dent Mckinley ut His Home
in Canton, o.

Canton, O., July THE home city
of the president on Friday accorded to
his colleague On the republican ma
tional ticket an ovation almost I'M
precedented, even in Canton. 1t would
be hard to say whether the citizens of
Canton voiced a more demonstrable
welcome to President Mckinley or to
Gov. Roosevelt, yet it may be said with
truth that Canton did not discrimi-
nate in the demonstration, the first
occasion on which the republican cam
didates for president and vice presi-
dent have personally met since the
Philadelphia convention. Gov. Roose-
welt arrived in Canton over the Val
ley railroad at half-past five.
The yard of the Mckinley residence
and the streets adjacent were literal
ly packed with humanity when the
governor alighted from his carriage
and walked briskly toward the house.
Then tremendous cheer burst forth
from the assembled multitude. Presi-
dent Mckinley was standing on the
porch waiting with outstretched hands
to greet his associate on the national
ticket. When they shook hands the
scene was inspiring indeed. The as
semblage was clamorous for speeches,
and when something like quiet was re-
stored the president introduced Gov.
Roosevelt, who spoke briefly, express
ing his thanks for the reception ac-
corded him. At dinner the only guests
at the Mckinley residence besides the
regular household were Gov. Roosevelt
and Judge and Mrs. Day. President
Mckinley and Gov. Roosevelt were in
conference most of the evening, but
nothing could be learned as to the
matters discussed. The governor left
for New York at 10: so.

Milwaukee, July IA Sentinel spe-
cial from Waukau, Wis, says: The
southwestern part of Winnebago coun-
ty, particularly the townships of
Nepouskun and Utica, was visited FRI
day by tornado, the most destruc-
tive in the history Of this locality. The
storm broke with fearful fury, lasting
30 minutes. The large barn of Nor
risey Bros. was leveled to the ground.
Lawrence and Pierce Morrisey, the
owners, had sought refuge in the
barn. Lawrence was hurled through
the air a distance of 100 feet. His
head was badly cut and serious inter-
nal injuries were sustained.
At Berlin, Wis, many roofs were
blown off. The entire front of the
Owen livery was blown out and many
streets about the city were blocked
with broken trees. Jim Quaddy, who
was taking shelter under the grand
stand at the fair grounds was seri-
ously injured, and lad with him had
an eye put out. The telephone and

trine is held to be a wise national policy;

oceanic canal is considered necessary;

dangerous: application of the policy
adopted toward Cuba is favored for the
Philippines; repeal of war taxes is de-
manded and the admission as states of
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma;
reclamation of arid lands is urged: pub
lie ownership of public utilities. eXpan-
sion of commerce in the interest of Amer

ton of Asiatic labor are the final princi-
pies advocated, all in the spirit and
teachings of Jefferson and Lincoln.

One of the consequences of the in
stallation of a corn kitchen in the
agricultural section of the United
States exhibit at the Paris exposi-

France in favor of the appointment
of government commission to visit

means of introducing corn in France.
The cereal already has won some rec
ognition in Europe, and in the course
of few years the expectation seems
likely to be of large proportions.

It is interesting to know from a
dealer in jewels that pearls are in par
ticularly good health this summer.
"Good health" is the expression of the
dealer, and he meant it literally.
''These gems are particularly liable
to disease" he said. Commercially,
the health of pearl refers to it's
luster. and when it becomes dull, you
NAV know that it is sick. Salt water
is the only tonic that is known to be
efficacious in such cases, and after
being immersed in brine for several
days, the gems will be found to be re-
stored to their usual health.
