He es- capped from the English forces, fled into Portuguese territory and suc- ceeded in making his way to Holland. q saw President Kruger before l left there," he said, "and he is still hope full that our Republic may be saved.

The Rogers Brothers.

The Jefferson Theatre will have next Wednesday and Thursday in '"The Rogers Brothers in Central Park one of their banner attractions of this season, or for that matter of any other season. The company played in St. Louis two weeks ago and in eight performances took in the immense amount of $14,3S7.7a In speaking of the performance the usually very critical Globe-Democrat said:
 Seldom has greater enthusiasm, of the hilarious sort, been manifested at a the atrical rtrfurmancc than was displayed at the Olympic last night, the occasion being the first local presentation of The Rogers Brothers in Central Park This enthusiasm was confined to no one sec- ton of the house-it pervadeda all, the people in the parquet and dress circle not hesitating to join the gallery in noisy

\ G0OD DEAL OF NONSENSE About "BIood Purifiersp and "Tonios."

Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve and tissue in the body can be renewed in but one way, and that is, from wholesome food properly digested. There is no other way and the idea that a medicine in it. self can purify the blood or supply new tissues and strong nerves is ridiculous and on a par with the fol-de-rol that dys- pepsia or indigestion is a germ disease or that other fallaey, that a weak stomach which refuses to digest food can be made to do so, by irritating and infaming the bowels by pills and cathartics.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets cure indi- gestion, sour stomach, gas and bloatinS after meals, because they furnish the di- gestive principals which weak stomaohs lack, and unless the deficiency of pepsin and diastase is supplied it is useless to attempt to cure stomach trouble by the use of "tonics,' pills and "cathartics' which have absolutely no digestive pow er and their only effect is to give a tenn porary stimulation.
 One grain of the active principle of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs and similar foods and experiments have s=Iown that they will do this in a glass battle at prop CT temperature, but of coarse are much more effective in the stomach.
 There is probably no remedy so univer- sally used as Stuart's Tablets, because it is not only the sick and ailing, but well people who use them at every meal to insure perfeect digestion and assimla- ton of the food
 People who enjoy fair health take Stu arts Tablets as regularly as they take their meals, because they want to keep well prevention is always better than cure and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they prevent indigestion and they remove it where 1t exists. The regular use of one or two of them after meals will demonstrate their merit and eff ciency better than any other argument.

Frank Daniels.

.The Ameer," the much heralded comic opera, with Frank Daniels in the title role will be at the Jefferson Theatre next Friday. The production was pro- nounced by the press of New York last winter "the comic opera hit of the sea- son. Frank Daniels is said never to have appeared to such excellent ad- vantage. It seems impossible that Dan iels can be funnier than when last here, six years ago in Little Puck Yet those who have seen him in ''The Ameer'
 say that certainly he is to be credited with such an achievement. He is uch in love with his part in the new opera, he says. It fits him capitally and enables

There was also the announcement that a dry goods store wouldn't sell garments for less than they cost
 Jones cast the paper aside and walked out on the street
 As he stepped from the doorway he passed through the gates of dark ages into wonderful world. Men and women rushed hither and thither clad in gar ments which would bring bushes to the cheeks of "Sappho." To Jones 1t was winter but the inhabitants were as un- conscious of cold as the "nymphs at the fountain" A man sat sleeping on the sidewalk and Jones thinking him a po- liceman gave him a shake The man looked frightened, but was too lazy to move. He was policeman.
 Look at me and see if I am drunk" demanded Jones.
 T see nothing the matter except your clothes" answered the cop.
 Yes but it's cold" came from the in- quisitive Jones. and he then took a seat and told the cop his story.
 The policeman then to Jones did tale unfold. He told how the world had adopted the teachings of Christian Sci ence; how mind had overcome matter. The policeman explained that people no longer paid any attention to cold or heat and they only wore clothes for the con- venience of carrying things in their pock- cts. How by the power of imagination the city debt of Birmingham had been paid and bond issues were no longer ne- gotiated by Steiner Brothers.
 At this juncture car came dashing by without track, trolley or motorman.
 How does it run?" exclaimed the as- tonished Jones. '.Where does the power come from?'
 "Oh, that's easy" said the cop. "All first the leaders of the movement taught us that they could make legs grow out, make blind people see and all such things 'as that, This soon became an everyday business and then the power of mind over matter began to make potato plants grow without water. The next step was to get the Birmingham streets clean without raising dust. The theorists then argued that if power of mind over mat ter could draw legs out. logically it could pull cars out, and in few days steam, electricity and all such motive powers were done away with. Now all that is necessary Is for the conductor to think and the car runs. The speed is regulated by the adjustment of his thought Do you seer"
 Jones saw
 The poor fellow had little more en- ergy left and he summed up courage to ask where he could get something to eat
 That's just as easy" proudly spoke the cop. Suppose you try ham sand
