Miss Fannie Case of Botsford was . guest, last week, of Miss Marie Repka.

Vairs entertainers, who just closed a very successful two weeks engagement. without 8 doubt gave as good satisfac- tion as any company of it's class that has eyer visited the town. Mile LaRose, wife of Prof Vail, is mind reader of rare ability. She gave some very remarkable and astonishing tests of her occult power Mention may be made of her detailed ac count of McNamara murder which oc- cured over 25 years ago. The fact it that her answers to the great number of questions for two weeks have had SO much precision as to dates, times and places, that she has drawn out large audierces nightly. Saturday night in a spiritualistic seance che brought the au- dience to their feet more than once. She had for a committee Messrs Nettleton. Nichols aLd Parks. While these gentle. men held her with their hands all sort. of spirit manifestations occurred such as the appearing of 8 dczsn ghostly hands, spirit bell ringing, slate writing and a hundred other tests which were deep in mystery, refining m quality and very pleasing in effect. Mr Ramsey, the come diar, is a very clever performer. As a knife thrower he is a shining success. His limitations, mimicry and facial work was highly applsuded. Prof Vail is a very slick magician, demonstrating the quickness of the hands. MT Parker, ae am usician, is all that could be expected George Hendrickson is also . good per former. If MT Vail eyer comes back tt Newtown he can rest assured of having good houses. They went from Newtow1 to Monroe.

undiSputed monarch of the welters
Ferns manager at once took umbrage at
Ryan'S declaration, and offered to pit his
man against the Syracusan for a contest
at 142 pounds. Ferns can obtain substan-
tia1 backing against any one in the well
terweight division, but, although the
challenge was made In good faith, Ryan
preferred to take no further notice of
the Kansas Rube and his manager, for
the very good and sufficient reason that
Tommy Is fully aware that he could not
train to 142 pounds and be strong enough
to hurt a child
There was a time when Ryan could
make the welterweight limit and do him
self justice in a ring. And he was then
unQuestionably the king pin of his class
But II Is another story now, and if Ryan
wishes to add fresh laurels to his fstic
record he will have to seek them in the
ranks of the middleweights, where he
rightly belongs.

in Chicago recently in behalf of the suf-

THEORIES ABOUT CATARRH
Peculiar Ideas Regarding Common
Disease.

Mark Twain's cure for a cold in the head
was simple but he claims very effective
In his own case; his plan was to eat moth
ing whatever for twenty-four hours or
presumably until the trouble had dis
appeared.
Although not able to speak from per-
sonal experience as to the effectiveness
of this treatment, it certainly has the
merit of extreme economy, but If occurs
to US that the application of it to a case
OF nasal catarrh might be attended with
difficulties.
Catarrh, as everyone knows, is chron-
ic cold in the head and Mr.. Twain's treat
ment, If it should become a fad would
make of US nation of fasterS; an army,
emulating the example of the immortal
Tanner, who achieved worldwide fame
by fasting forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming a ma
tional disease and there is little doubt
but that errors in diet, particularly over
eating Is a very common cause.
Most people, however, are more inter-
ested in the cure of the trouble than in
the cause, and modern medical scIence
has produced more effective and less
heroic remedies than Mr. Twains
Guaiacol is new remedy, very effective
In some forms of Catarrh Eucalyptol IS
another which on account OF its tnti-
many severe eases of Chronic Cataarh
have been entirely cured by the SAN
guinaria or extract Of Blood root alone.
Within a year an enterprising chemist
has combined all of these remedies in
tablet form, palatable and convenient
and the superiority OF this tablet over
other catarrh remedies is so apparent that
all druggists now carry them in stock
to supply the popular demand.
They are called Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, and 1t is doubtful II any medicine
has achieved a national popularity in so
short time as this.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used by
thousands of travelling men because .ney
can be carried in the pocket and used
any time and In any quantity. being free
from Cocaine, opiate or any poisonous
drug.
They clear the head and throat from the
disgusting secretions Of catarrh, sery
often in few hours time.
For nasal Catarrh they are far superior
to any wash, lotion or ointment, the use
of which If often as inconvenient and
annoying as the disease Itself.
For coughs, colds, bronchial catarrh
and catarrh of the stomach, these tablets
give immediate relief and a permanent
of which is often as inconvenient and
make no impression whatever.
This preparation is a boon to cafarrh
sufferers and any druggist will tell ou
cure, where lotions douches and inhalers
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a remedy
that has come to stay.
