IN A COMEDY VEIN.
Slater Company Seen in q Fine
Presentation Of "The Man
From the East "

Patrons of the Wagner last
night Witnessed On entirely differ
ent sort OF bill from the plays put
on the early part of the week,
"The Man From the East" being
strictly in a light comedy vein,
and production which captured
the enthusiasm of the few WOO
were present from the rise Of
the curtain and held it to the end.
The weather was, if anything,
worse than ever under foot, and
the audience Was comparatively q
small one; but such is the perfect
discipline In the Slater company
that the play was given with every
attention 70 detail and 10 as good
shape as if the house had been
crowded
j. w. Bayley, as Wolf KineseaFl
the leading character. gave decid
edIy his best performance of the
week. In fact, he especially dis
tinguished himself and gave one
of the smoothest, easiest portray
els Of a light comedy juvenile ever
seen in this city. Bayley is q good
actor. What is true of other ac-
tors, however, is also true Of bin;
be is better in some parts than
others. He has a splendid voice,
his gestures are good, and he Is
always easy IN his lines. He is
also q general favorite with Chick.
asha audiences, and makes q good
impression, no matter in what role.
c. ID. Cubine and Ohas. Kendall
are also capable memberF, whose
work showed TO good advantage
last night. Miss Kibbe gave her
usual excellent performances while
Misses Kendall and Douglass In
their respective parts left LITTLE to
be desired. In fact the work Of
the entire company is so evenly
balanced and harmonious that the
players play smoothly and easily,
and q meritorlous performance is
always the result.
Tonight "Nell Gwynne Of Old
Drury, with Miss Viola Kibbe in
the title role, will be repeated.
This is the feature bill of the
Slater company, and the costumes
worn and scenery used must be
seen to be appreciated. II is to
be hoped that the company will
be greeted by a crowded house to-
night, TO make up in part for the
deficit caused by the bad weather
of the first of the week.

A HEARTY APPETITE.
DIR. McKanna's Treatment For The
Liquor Habit Puts Menin Con-
dition to Relish Food.

10 lose the appetite for liquor
and find in its place a hearty appe-
tite for wholesome food is the ex-
perieuce ofevery patient who takes
DR.. McKanna;s treatment for the
liquor habit. The reason for this
is explained by the fact that the
medicines administered during the
course Of treatment act directly
on the stomach, dver, etc., pro-
dncing o normal, healthy condition
of these organs, and restoring
their former strength. With the
digestive organs strong and
healthy, it is only natural that
they should demand an increased
amount OF food to nourish a con-
stitution impoverished by long
c0ntlnuel use OF alcoholic stimn-
iauts. No other form Of treatment
for the liquor habit accOmplishes
what DR.. McKanna's does for the
reason that nothing else known to
medical science combines the ele-
ments Of destroying the appetite
for liquor with building up the
system. That it does this and
does IL well is matter that is be-
ing proved to the entire satisfac.
tion Of everyone who has ever
visited DR.. McKanna's offices.
There Is no dangerous hypodermic
or bad after effects to fear in DR..
McKanna's treatment, neither is
there any annoying confinement TO
go through. Everything connected
with it is as pleasant as can be
made. For full information call

ANOTHER BLIZZARD.
Heavy Fall of the Beautiful Yes
terday Afternoon Melted into
Slush.

The heavy rain which has fallen
for The past few days turned to
snow yesterday afternoon and for
over two hours there Was as heav y
fall OF the beautiful as has been
seen in this country for several
years. The flakes were unusually
large in sike, and so thick that one
could scarcely see across the street
while they we're falling. But they
we're very soft and melted as rapid
as they fell, leaving the street a
sea OF mud and slush. and making
navigation even more perilous and
difficult than before,
The weather over head today
has been considerable ofan improv-
ment over the past few daye, but
under foo. It could scar cely be
worse. The holes in Chickasha
avenue snd the thoroughfares con
tributary thereto are keee deep in
mud and slusb, and vehicles which
are compelled 10 travel through
them are almost mired. The mud
splaehes ali over the adjacent side
walks, plastering the store win
dow pedestrians and everything
else in sight with it's sticky, nasty
filth, and makes it very disagree
able aud uncomfortable for every
one. Strangers coming into our
town for the first time during this
weatherlwould, ,hardlylbe impressed
with it's streets or sidewalks either,
yet no one Is particularly to blame
for the existin E state of affairs.

in violation Of law in the Indian
Territory, which has been on tilal
in Judge Townseud's division of

days, came to an end late yester-
day afternoon when the jury re-
turned verdict OF guilty. In
some respects the verdict was a
surprise TO our people, for many
thought that after tue jury bad
been out so long almost "a hours
Ia disagreement was sure to be
the result, aud the government
ment would be put to the expense
Of another mis-trial.
Pete Heffner was indicted by the
federal grand jury at the February

1901, for selling liquor. at that
time Pete ownsi what ;s Is Lnowa

AFTER DUE INQUIRY
Chamberlain Will Draft Bill to Cover
His Tariff Reform Ideas.

Leeds. Dec 16-Joseph Chamberlain adj
dressed two immense audiences here, to-
night. making the last speeches of his
fiscal campaign for the present year.
From the moment of Mr.. Chamberlain
arrival in Leeds the enthusiasm was ire
mendouS.
The feature of Mr.. Chamberlain's speech
at the Coliseum was his announcement
of the fact that he has been engaged in
getting together a committee to make in
qIliries among the various branches of
trade at home and abroad, the work of
which committees he expected he said
will result in clearing away many diff
culties. This committee will consist of
about so business men of the highest
standing, who will begin work in the near
future. 1t will be composed of men from
all centers of industry both in the United
Kingdom and in the colonies.
When the reports are completed Mr..
Cha mberlain said he expected to be in n
position to formulate tariff bill accept
able to the country, which will not only
foster imperial trade but which will ena-
BILE Great Britain to give trade advan-
tages to those who are prepared to render
her similar favors.
The rest of Mr. Chamberlain's speech
was largely a repetition of his former
arguments.
