The MinstreIs.

There was only one peculiar feature of Primrose and Dockstader's minstrel show at the Jefferson last night. Every act was good. At first glance this may not seem pecuiarity, but on second, sober thought every one realizes that it is the only time in a long while that such a statement could truthfully be made about a minstrel show here. Maybe one or two songs were old, but they were the pick of last seasons flock, and so 1t did not matter. Possibly one of the voices was not as good as might be found, but then there were ten others that were among the best The scenery was all that might be asked, the voices were ditto. there were one or two catchy airs, and only one old joke. What more does one want in a minstrel show.
 And then Lew Dockstader is still there with the goods" and although George Primrose is getting little aged, he might still be termed the lightest man in Amer lea on his feet
 Dockstader's local hits in his automobile farce were good, although he could not sing. The idea is original. George Prim- rose has two new scenes In the cotton patch and the watermelon effect. The scenery to the first part was spe- cially good. It represented an exterior scene from the Garden of the Gods in Italy. The final of the first act was equally as good It was the song "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground illustrated by copy of the famous paint ing The Boys of re-"
 The best voice In the company is that of Stanley H. Forde, the bass. He has one of particular quality and one that was fully appreciated last night. The others are all good, with the possible exception of the tenor
 The second part contained the Howard Brothers, very good banjoists; George Primrose in his watermelon scene and his two understudies, who are good buck dancers; Lew Dockstader in his automobile farce, and Neil o'Brien and William Hal let in farce entitled "The Doctors

TOOK A STRAW VOTE. Interestlno Experiment. In Restaurant

An advertising agent, representing a prominent New York magazine, while on a recent western trip, was dining one evening in Pittsburg restaurant. While waiting for his order he glanced over his newspaper and noticed the ad- vertisement of a we'll known dyspepsia preparation, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets as he himself was a regular user of the tablets he began speculating as to how many of the other travelling men in the dining room were also friends or the pop ular remedy for indigestion.
 He says: T counted twenty-three men at the tables. and in the hotel office I took the trouble to interview them. and was surprised to learn that nine of the twenty-three made practice of taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
 One of them told me he had suffered so much from stomach trouble that at one time he had been obliged to quit the road, but since using 6tuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets had been entirely free from indiges- tion but he continued their use, especially while travelling, on account of irregularity in meals and because like all travelling men he was often obliged to eat what he could get and not always what he wanted.
 Another, who looked the picture of health, said he never ate meal without
 
 cause he could eat what he pleased and when he pleased, without fear of sleep less night or any other trouble. Still another used them because he was subject to gas on stomach, causing pres sure on heart and lungs, shortness of breath and distress in chest which he no longer experienced since using the tablets regularly.
 Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspepsia ~ahlets was the only safe remedy he had ever found for sour stomach and acidity. He had formerly used common soda to relieve the trouble, but the tab lets were much better and safer to use. After smoking, drinking or other ex- cesses which weaken the digestive organs. nothing restores the stomach to healthy, wholesome condition so effectualIy as Stuarts Tablets.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain the natural digestives. pepsin. diastase. which l every weak stomach lacks. as well as nux, hydrastin and yellow parilla, and can be safely relied upon as a radical cure for every form of poor digestion. Sold by druggists everywhere.
