KNOW IT WELL.
Familiar Features Well

Wilmington Citizens.

A familiar burden in every home.
The burden of a bad back"
A lame, weak or an aching back
Tells you of kidney ills.
Doen's Kidney Pills will cure you
Here is Wilmington testimony to
prove it.
Mr.. A. S. Wivel, who conducts a
shoe store under the Odd Fellows
Hall, No. Is East Third street, for
merly manager for the late John r.
Walker, says:-''I first expressed
my opinion Of Doan's Kidney Pills
and gave my experience with that
remedy through our Wilmington
newspapers in 1897. Before l pro-
cured the preparation at Danforth's
drug store my back was lame and
ached SO severely at times that l
thought it was broken. After I had
completed the treatment, kidney
complaint, backache or whatever it
was disappeared and up to the pres
ent time l have had no indication of
a return. Before that I used other
preparations but received little if
any benefit. l think more of Doan's
Kidney Pills now then l did when I
gave my first statement for publ
cation. Any patent medicine which
acts up to it's claims is we'll worth
the trouble Of recommendation"

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
FOR LOVE AND HONOR.

Intense sustained interest with a
powerful story Of strong heart i'm
terest are combined in the thrilling
comedy drama, For Love and
Honor. at the Opera House, on
Thursday evening. The story Is Of
the efforts OF man to steal away
the love of another, even after he
marries his choice. This is accom-
plished and the story how he re-
gains wealth, power and position is
one that has won for William w.
Lapoint the foremost position as a
dramatic author. Edward N. Nc
Dowell, under whose management
this play has ibeen produced, has
spared neither expense nor ingenui-
ty in developing tho resources of
stage mechanism to present fitting
secenic surroundings for a play conf
tanning SO many thrilling land pow
erful situations. The finish of the
horse race, the railway train wreck
saved by the timely closing Of the
.drawbridge, an attempted wire tap
ping at the race track and the great
mine explosion are all lcarried out
in so true pictures that it is imposs-
ible almost for the audience to be-
lieve it otherwise than real. The
company carries all its own scenery.
horses and mechanical effects.

THE ROAD TO. RUIN.

1.-THE Road to RUM one Of great
est and lmost sensational melo-
dramas, dealing mainly with true
incidents and happenings in the
great metropolis, comes to the
Opera House on Saturday night.
The play is from the pen of Theo.
Kremer, one of the greatest writer's
of criminal events in New York
City, and is by far his best under
taking. In order to make his play
successful Mr.. Kremer has found it
necessary to call to his aid real facts
connecting with the above story and
has succeeded in developing truly
sensational drama The interest of
the audience is held throughout the
play and while the serious parts run
through the piece, there is sufficient
comedy interviewer to hold the good
will of the audience in both direc-
tons. A strong feature of the per-
Torrance are the various scenes
such as the New York Tombs prison,
illustrating to the public how pris-
oner an escape therefrom in broad
daylight. Another scene is the I'M
foreground railway showing the
Broadway cable cars in full
operation. One scene shows the
badger game in full blast This is
positively one of the greatest and
most realistic scenes ever attempted
and is really truthfully portrayed.
One of the strongest acting COM
panies that could possibly be select
ed has been engaged and great
performance can be expected.
