WEDNESDAY NIGHT Herbert Kelcey and
Fife Shannon.

Her Lord and Master is the new play which Kelcey and Shannon will present at the Montgomery Theatre Wednesday night. Probably the most elaborate seen cry and stage properties ever seen upon the stage will be those in this play. The cast includes MT. Morton Selten, who was for many years leading man for MT. E. H. Southern; MT. Charles Stokes, who last year made the character of Canby in Arizona famous; MT. Percey Brook of the William H. Crane Company; Miss Hattie Russell, the well-known sister of Ada Rehan; Miss Woinona Shannon, sis ter of Miss Fife, and Miss Isabelle Wal dron. The reception of MT. Kelcey and Miss Shannon when here last season was a most cordial one. but everything goes to show that they will this year meet with an overwhelming ovation, and their ap- l pearance here should prove the great so- | cial as well as the dramatic event of the season. Seat sale opens this morning.

THE CHICAGO SCHOOL TAX
 FIGHT

Perhaps the achievement of greatest magnitude in the undertaking and the most important in it's immediate results ever accomplished by women was that of the two Chicago school teachers, Miss Margaret Haley and Miss Catherine Cog gin, who. aided by lawyer and backed by the Teachers Federation of Chicago, have caused by their efforts the Supreme Court of Illinois to hand down a decision last Thursday which will compel 4,O0O corporations and trusts doing business tn Cook County to pay taxes on valua- lions of at least $1.000,0O0,000.
 These two women have besn working cn this for months. They gave up their positions and in behalf of the Teachers Federation bent every effort and all their energy to undoing the fraud which was robbing the State of Illinois of a just revenue. The result will make things wonderfully moreH comfortable for teach CTS and schools.
 These corporations have hitherto not been taxed.
 These two women have done, and done quickly, a work worthy of human beings with a long line of brain workers. Such women do not lind their sphere limited to the handling of embroidery needles and putting of dainty toes upon Turkish rugs-nor to mending clothes and wash ing dishes. All of those vacations are good and should be attended to, but should not edge the horizon of a capable woman's sphere. An exchange tells as follows of the magnitude of this work accomplished by these two female school teachers of Chicago:
 The decision sets the rule for obtain Ing for taxation the value of intangible property. In a nutshell it provides that the stock, bonds and franchises of, spe- officially. twenty Chicago corporations, and their tangible property also, shall be estimated at fair market value that from the total the value of the tangible property shall be deducted ano That the remainder shall be taxed.
 Broad as is the sweep of this decision in itself it's logical results are mucf greater, as the decision, 1t is said. really applies just as well to railroad corpo rations and every other corporation III the State, and may lead to the collection of enormous amounts of back taxes.
 This is MT. Greenacres eptome or the results of the decisions: The taxes ol home owners will be reduced from 30 tc e4; the deficits annually confronting the longer appear; streets can be improved bridges built and the schools and other public institutions maintained in a proper manner"
 decisions adds ss0O0,000 to the funds oi the State, and of this $2, 100000 will come to Cook County, where the teachers started the fight. It is now up to the Board of Equalization to bow to the die tatcs of the court. One effect 1t VIII lot of the water out of the stock of various corporations. and it may drive some of them out of the State to fairer climes-New Jersey, for instance"

Lost Hair

It's risky, this losing of the hair. You may not get it back again. When the hair first begins to fall out use Ayers Hair Vigor. It will stop the falling and will make new hair come in. And it always restores color to gray hair.

 New York. Oct. 2S.-A dispatch from Kimbolton Huntingdonshire, England, to The World says:
 "It is 1ow feared since the child of the Duke and Duchess of Manchester is a daugh CT and not a son, Eugene Zim- merman, the father of the Duchess, will not make tho settlement expected. It is positively stated that the Duchess has received nothing from her father since her marriage except the income of her dead mo Cther's estate. Until a male heir Is born Lord Charles Montague, the sec ond son of the Duchess of pevonshire twhose first husband was the present Duke of ManChester's grandfather will remain the heir presumptiVe to the title and estate of the Duke of Manchester.

MT. d- U. mdCLedA And Miss Odette Tyler.

The play of Coriolanus, in which MT. MacLean and Miss Tyler will appear at the Montgomery Theatre tonight, has so seldom been seen upon the American stage that it is practically novelty to the majority of theatre-goers
 Coriolanus may be considered an em- phatic success from every point of view. Mir MacLean makes the character at once sympathetic and dignifed by his manly interpretation. Miss Tyler's Vir- gilia is the embodiment of womanly ten- derness and wifely devotion.
 The performance of Coriolanus by MT. MacLean, Miss Tyler and their company cannot fail to be an interesting one.

rBy their fruits ye shall know them" The way to judge of the value of any medicine is by its cures. Apply that test to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and it is at once lifted high above all other put up medicines designed for the cure of womanly diseases. Chronic forms of disease which local physicians have failed to cure, and which have welded to no other treatment, have been perfectly and permanently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It establishes monthly reg -larity. It dries facilitating drains. It heals in- tiammation and alteration and cures female weakness.
 Mrs Shropshire, of Ballou Shelby Co, Ohio, writes My mother had an ovarian tumor which we thought would result in her death, pus we had read your advertisements and we commenced using your Favorite Prescription' We got one dozen bottles to commence with and before she had taken three bottles she began to improve she is living to-day and we have given your medicine the credit My mother was Sixty-six years old when the tutuor commenced 10 grow: she is seventy-six now and the tu1nor is all gone.
