In his business dealings Russell was
conservative, honest. grateful While
he amassed fortune it was acquired
by hard labor judcious handling and
forethohght. He stood as high In the
estimation of his business associates
as he did with the public He was
a man whom to know was to admire.
Simple in his living, simple In his
style, he was natural on the stage aud

Many stories of the hardships he
endured before real success came his

desire of late years was to write an

his working days. He struggled for

Unquestionably great measure of
the interest already evidenced in the
coming of Grace George with Under
Southern Skies" to the Colonial thea
tire tonight is due to the remarkably
favorable tone of the criticism printed
when first the production was seen in
New York, There is nothing sensation
al in the plot of the piece, there are no
objectionable characters among the
dramatic personae, and there is not n
single offensive word IN the whole dia-
logue. Under Southern Skies tells
q simple little love story in quiet,
idyllic manner.
The Electrician" as presented at
the Grand Opera house last night by
lIimmelein's Imperial Stock Company
proved to be very popular. The play
itself is strong one of the popular
sort. and the company by careful and
conscientious work succeeded in bring
best manner. "A Soldier of the En-
hest manner. "A Soldier of the EN-

Poisoning tho System.

1t is through the bowels that the
body is cleansed Of impurities. Con-
stipstion keeps these poisons in the
system, causing headache, dulness
and melancholis at first, then un.
slightly eruptious and finally serious
illness unless a remedy is applied.
DsWitt's Little Early Risers prevent
this trouble by stimulating the liver
and promote easy, healthy action Of
the bowels. These little pills do not
act violently but by strengthening
the bowels enable them to perform
their work. Never grippe or distress.
