"Uncle Toms Cabin was given to
the public at at time when all civil
lied humanity was hesitating between
their prejudices and their established
modes of thought and the growing
conviction felt in their innermost
heart that slavery was all wrong.
The novel written by Mrs. Stowe
has provided a play that will never
grow old, and the drama as played by
the Cummings s. Alexander Co., is a
credit to any writer of the present or
past century.

a week the people of River Falls,-or
so many Of them as cared to be enter
tanned in the manner OF the company.
The entertainment had many at
tractive features-am ong which the
most effective we're the voting con-
tests and the premiums for the victor
in remarkable feats. One Of these
feats, more amusing than refined
was that of hanging bologna sausage
by string where the boys with hands
debarred were expected to bite off all
they could 'chaw'' as the tempting
morsel swung back and forth In front
of their "open" countenance. The fell

ridiculous in this refined" contest got
a quarter for his Hcheek 1.-THE voting
contest showed II, l65 votes, the larg-
est number cast for any one person,
securing a diamond ring-the votes
representing a cent apiece.

Mrs. Weiss in the box on the rear bob
in the road without injury.

Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect to live long, because
they cannot eat the food required to
nourlsh the body and the products of
the undigested foods they do eat
poison the blood. 1t is important to
cure indigestion as soon as possible,
and the best method of doing this is
to use the preparation known as Ko-
