advance sale not being large enough
to suit his demands The advance sale
numbered a total of 122 seats. only
fifty of which were purchased by Sac

towns, some coming from as far away
as Tuckee and Blue Canyon.
Paderewski came uD in his private
car ut noon and when he learned of the
size of the sale he declined TO appear.
When he first proposed to play in this
city Manager Ficks of the Clune opera
house declined to book him on per.
centage stating that he had proved Il
frost on his last appearance. The pi-
anst then engaged the house on his
own account, agreeing to pay certain
rental therefor. When he decided not
to play Manager Ficks stated that he
would not release Paderewski's piano
until the rent was paid, The pianist's
agent later settled for the rent and
all other local bills. paying in all $3.50
to learn that Sacramento did not ap.
preciate his talent.

CONVINCING PROOF.
The Average Owosso Citizen Must Accep,
the Following Proof.


the Following Proof.
The great Sir Isaac Newton, one OF the
most profound reasoners the world ever
produced, once cut large hole in board
fence to allow a favorite cat access to two
gardens, and cut a smaller hole to allow
her kitten to follow her. The weakness
manifested in Sir Isaac's action was due
to want of thought. Any reader who
mentally debates the proof offered here
about Doan's Kidney Pills and arrives at
any other conclusion than that stated in
this citizens statement, is as short of rea-
soning powers as the philosopher when
he turned carpenter.
Mrs. j. III. Kelley, of East Main street,
says, "There was constant dull, aching
through my loins and at times it became
sharp and severe, making it really pain
full for me to get about, especially If did
any hard work or caught cold. l also
suffered from spells of headache and at
tacks of dizziness. The secretions from
the kidneys were irregular, distressing
and annoying. Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Johnson & Henderson's drug
store, entirely rid me of the trouble"

opened fire Tuesday morning early,
sending shells into the British camp at
Elandslaagte from three positions
widely separated. The shells did no
damage The troops moved out to re-
connoitre and found the Beers in
strong force and well fortified. One
naval 4.7-inch gun replied to the
Beers, who have again placed long

When the Beers commenced shell
ing the British were drilling, and one
private was killed and another was
wounded before the soldiers were with
drawn from range. Then the naval
brigade opened fire and drew n heavy
Boer fusillade, and two of the cruiser
PhilomePs gunners were killed. The
naval men struck to their positions.
however, and the Beers unmasked six
guns, including 100-pounder. and
shells fell in all the British camps.
After three hours bombardment the
British fire slackened and the burgh-
ers cleared from q kopje on the right
when a British shell lit on the spot
occupied by their gun. Another COM
mand was seen moving toward the
British left, apparently with the inten'
ton Of flanking them, but the British
shells forced them to retire. The Brit
ish advance pickets were continually
sniped. but few casualties have been
reported. In the afternoon the naval
brigade again fired few shells. IT Is
rumored that n body Of Beers has
gathered southwest Of Elandslaagte
with the apparent intention Of cutting
