OPERA HOUSE.-WedneSday,. ward "
in THE Floor Walkers; Thurs
day. Henry Miller in Richard Savage
Holy Week was an exceeding dull
period in the local theatres. The Opera
House was dark after the artistic per-
Torrance of "The Power Behind the
Throne" by Mildred Holland and her
excellent company Monday night. The
Grand was dark after "Wednesday night,
when Human Hearts" closed a very
satisfactory engagement from an ar
tistic as well as a financial point OF
view. Dull as was last week, the COM
ing week will be correspondingly
bright. A first class repertoire COM
pany will be on the boards AT the
Grand, and the Opera House bookings
are two of the strongest attractions on
the road, both of which merit capac-
ity patronage.

Operations Avoided.

When a physician tells a woman suffering with ova-
rian or womb trouble that an operation is necessary, it Of
course frightens her.
The very thought of the operating table and the knife
strikes terror to her heart.
And our hospitals are full of women who are there for
ovarian and womb operations
It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed, because a great
many women have been cured by Mrs. Pinkham's med
icine after the doctors had said the operation must be
performed.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
been very successful in curing ovarian troubles. In fact,
up to the point where the knife must be used to secure
instant relief, this medicine is certain to help.
Ovarian troubles are easily developed from womb
troubles, and womb troubles are so very commo that
ovaritis is steadily on the increase among women. 1t is,
nevertheless, a most serious trouble, and to recommend
wrong treatment for it is a crime for which there cannot
be too deep a penalty.
1t is, therefore, with full consciousness of the serious
ness of the disease and the steady failure of other medicine
to cure it, that we present for ovarian and womb trouble
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as the
most certain to help of any medicine in the world to-day.
Any person who could read the letters in Mrs. Pinkham's
files at her Office in Lynn, Mass, would be convinced of
the efficiency of Mrs. Pinkham's Compound.
The strongest and most grateful statements possible
to make come from women who have escaped the operat-
ing table by the use of this medicine. Let any woman
suffering from these troubles, or anything which may de-
velop into them, write and get Mrs. Pnkham's advice. If
you are beyond the reach of the medicine, you will be
frankly told SO, but, if not, you will be fully and carefully
and kindly advised.
The most serious of all the diseases of women, as well
as the minor ills, are promptly overcome by

There is no variation in the success
of Mrs. Fiske, who on her route in Hi
noise and Indiana has played to phen-
omenal audiences. Her first stand
out of Milwaukee was at Madison, Wis,
and here occurred an incident charac-
~teristic of the unusual happenings de-
noting exceptional interest in her ad-
vent in city after city. In Madison, of
course, at this season, the Legislature
of Wisconsin is in session: and 1t hap
pened that upon Mrs. Fishes arrival
at Madison a political measure of un-
usual Importance primary election
bill-was under consideration. The
Senate had appointed an evening ses-
sion to debate this measure, but Mrs.
tlske's appearance created such inter
est that the plans of the Legislature
had to be modified for the moment. The
Milwaukee News chronicled the result
in this breezy way: Becky Sharp in
fiction was responsible for many things.
Becky Sharp on the stage, reports from
Madison say, has held up the primary
election bill-at least one day. Mrs.
Fiske was at Madison last night.
Hardly had the Senate been called to
order before Long Jones moved an
adjournment. The motion was adopt-
ed, and the majority of the Senators
at once nghted out for the theatre"
Mrs. Flske last week played at Louis
vile and indianapolis to her usual
audiences. At Louisville she appeared
IN the Amphitheatre Auditorium, used
for opera and other events that draw
large numbers of people, that being the
only place in the city available for
her use.

country have echoed the praises of both
play and star. Richard Savage was an
obscure poet, whose intensely dramatic
career suggested to the author the
theme for the play, and it is said thai
Mr.. Miller has found in the title role
the greatest opportunity of his career.
The character is made to appear sym
pathetic and lovable, and a dashing
hero ready to avenge his wrongs with
a flashing sword, make love like a gal
liant cavalier to the girl of his choice,
and die like a martyr and a philosopher
with undaunted spirit in the end. There
is an abundance of comedy, witty and
exciting dialogue and a number of
thrilling episodes which hold the aud
fence in suspense until the great eli
makes at the close of each act. 1t is
said that the duel scene at the close Of
the third, and the murder scene at the
close of the fourth, always ensure from
eight to a dozen or more curtain calls.
The scenic production provided by
Managers Wagenhals and Kemper Was
said to be equal to anything seen On the
New York stage in years, and their en-
terprise in engaging such a brilliant
supporting company was equally COM
mended. Seat sale opens Tues lay

The Commissioner says that the question
arises whether the Government shall take the

case he thinks that the Secretary Of the Interior

or the Government are superior regards all

The Commissioner recommends that the lands
required for the reservoir and the lands TO be

the withdrawal until the lands have been sur
veyed. In the latter case. he says that soon
