There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors'pro.
nounced it a local disease, aud pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and, therefore,
requires constitutional treatment.
Hairs Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

|
James Whitcomb Riley's coming
visit under the auspices of the Fri
City Press club is awakening q wide
| interest 1t is easy to see why this
interest is so general. He is our ma
tional poet. He has sung the songs
of our life as no one else has done
and is safely enshrined for all time in
the love of his fellow men. He has
written FROM the heart to the heart.
aud the applause which has met his
efforts testifies with what great sue
cess. A new volume from his pen
is seized with eagerness, and thous-
ands of copies disappear in few
weeks. His melodies are a part of
our lives. He has published in all II
volumes which have run through a
mum Der OF editions both in America
and England. Book dealers say there
il q. greater demand for Riley's poems
than for those of any other poet, liv-
ing or dead. But great as has been
the demand for Mr.. Riley's works. The
desire 10 sec and hear the poet in his
homely impersonations has been
greater. East, west. north, south
everywhere the people want Riley.
His programs, always new, pre- sent
such variety, such range of dramatic
action that an evening with him is an
event in the life of every person who
hears him The date of his appear
ance at the Burtis opera house is Oct.
10. The seat sale begins next Satur-
day.
In The House That Jack Built"
to be seen at the Burtis tonight, Mr.
Broadhurst. instead of winging his
shafts against the tyranny of domestic
servants and the various labor u"ions,
aims them at the folly of a rich
young girl who has tendency TO
socialism and thinks that she would
prefer love in a cottage to love in a
mansion. She is a daughter of DR..
Jack, an eccentric individual, who
has been occupied for nearly seven
years in building a home for himself |
at MISREPRESENTATION. AS the
house is practically completed. the |
doctor has issued cards for a house |
but to his dismay he dis |
covers that his paper hanger has been |
carefully loafing and that it appears |
to have the reception room
flushed on time. He is very anxious |
10 secure the advice of Sir Edward |
Singleton, great authority on mural
decorations, regarding the color
scheme for one of the rooms. Sir
Edward has seen Miss Jack and fallon
in love with her. On his arrival he
learns from the paper hanger that she
does not believe in baronets, landed
property and hereditary wealth, and
10 meet her on her own ground he
Oers uades the paper hanger to get
him a workman's suit and to intro
luce him as his brother who has come
20 assist him in his work. No sooner
Toes Miss Jack see this supposed
than she is Immediately
by what she considers a
specimen of the American
artisan and the love interest between
he two is quickly developed, culmi-
lating in high comedy scene in the
asst act, where Sir Edward, posing as
. workman, shows the many things
hey would not be able to get on his
wages of 224 cents an hour.
