THE FEAR
OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying a
Good Medicine.


Stomach troubles are so common
and in most cases so obstinate to
cure that people are apt TO look with
suspicion. on any remedy claiming to
be radical, permanent cure for dys-
pepsia and indigestion. Many such
pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged, especially
in medicines.
This fear OF being humbugged can
be carried too far in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak di
gestion rather than risk a little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made OF a preparation so reli
able and universally used as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-

THE LIFE SPIRITUAL.

All" says one but this special
outpouring of the Spirit upon the
early Christians at their baptism was
for the purpose of empowering them
To work miracles, and the age OF mir
acles Is past When those twelve
poorly instructed men In Ephesus re
ceiyed the Spirit, after they were hap.
tlzed In the name OF the Lord Jesus,
they spake with tongues and prophe-
sled And we read OF gifts OF heal
ings. working OF miracles. discerning
OF spirits, divers kinds OF tongues and
interpretations OF tongues, as being
granted the Corinthian Christians.
These gifts are unknown and not
needed in the modern church"
Wen, friend, II they are unknown,
Il Is certainly not because they are
not needed; but some OF these special
gifts OF the Spirit bestowed upon the
early Christians at their baptism are
greatly needed in our churches TO

enough to make up for that loss would
be restricted by litigation on the part
OF the large property owners.
Valuations. assessments. levies and
the whole process of taxation is pred
icated on yearly estimates, and levies
could not be made on 1904 assessment
for the current expenses that we're to
be met out of the 1903 taxes. Taxes
are for the expenditures incurred year
ly.
SO, as IL seems to us, the big tax
payers would be doubly the gamers
by failure TO hold a special session
The mOney-lendlng class would rear
harvest, not for one, but for many
years, which the poorer taxpayers
must pay.
Would not the state officials be re
qulred to apportion to each county It's
share Of state revenues, under the
Booth act, which is not repealed by
the Phelps law?
II that be true, and the counties
could make no levy without a special
session, would not each county be
compelled to borrow its quota OF
state taxes?
In that event the moncy-lenders
would reap another immense profit on
these loans TO the counties about
threc-fourths of a million dollars.

II is a legend, such, in sooth,
AS pagans tell within the booth
Where there is any ware but truth
That when the world was but begun
The firstllngs OF all things were
there
The first rose smiling as the sun
And lending glory TO the air;
The first dove soaring on It's wing,
The first man walking on the ground
Twas then the Maker OF all things
Disposed of every sweet sound.
That He within the garden safe
And made division OF them all;
The song Of ono bird to It's mate
The rhythm OF the trumpet call;
The diapason of the sea;
The singing OF ones who reap;
The rustic Of the leafy tree
And whispers through the grasses
creep.
That He from out His hands let fall
The music OF the straining sail,
And melodies that men entrall--
The lyric Of the nightingale;
The untraced murmurs OF the night
That dreamlly sigh from the West
All sounds He gave 10 give delight.
And one was sweeter than the rest.
That those who stood about and heard
The throbbing OF the thrilling drum
And Joyous carolIng of bird
And honey bees contented hum
Were curious and marveling,
And wondered II there could be
found
A beast or bird or anything
That should receive the sweetest
sound
That then the Makor OF them all
Said; 10. this falrest sound shall
go.
MOI TO the thrilling trumpet call,
Nor 10 the love song soft and low,
Nor 10 the eVerslnging sea.

''rhe richest OF all melody
Shall be the laughter OF a child"

That out OF pagan dreamlngs grew
Yet haply. Il might well be true.

Mrs. Sarah Rorer, of Chicago, very
charmingly cuts in on the germ and

American women eat too many eggs.
The egg dict makes them lazy, they
lose their brightness of eyes, and the
end of the egg habit is the divorce

bad.

HOPPER'S PICKWICK
LARGE AUDIENCE AT THE
 MONTGOMERY THEATRE.
Comedian a Failure in Fortraying Dickens Great Character, But Piece Was Produced With
 Care as to Detail.

De Wolf Hopper Is an iconoclast. He is aided and abetted by the man who con- ceived the "Mr. Pickwick'' produced by MT. Hopper and his large and capable company at the Montgomery Theatre last night.
 Lovers of Dickens and his delightful conceptions left the Theatre positively rebellious. The elongated but always unctuous Comedian roliicked through two acts as Hopper but never, oh never, as Pickwick.
 New York would not have Hopper's MT. Pickwick and although the judgment of New York is not altogether good, New York was discriminating in this case.
 Aside from the failure of Hopper to present dear old Pickwick as his friends have come to regard him, the piece Is un- musical and incoherent. There is no eff fort to provide plot, and little attempt to provide music that leaves memories ringing after 1t has gone.
 Pickwick's friends were on the stage, some of them life-like and natural, but when Pickwick arrived, one unconsciously said, Behold Hooper, It is the same clever Hopper. but always Hopper. And the press agent told us this was his ann bilious effort!
 Those who admire Hopper undoubtedly turned to his Wang" his "Capitan," his 'Syntax" for consolation for surely he was to be applauded there. But as Pick wick, never.
 When the great comedian between the acts recited Casey at the Bat," the au- dience sat up straight and screamed. This was Hopper. This was the fun-maker pre-eminent and the audience wanted more of 1t and got 1t.
 MT. observation-disclosures Pickwick-has been done wrong. The piece is thrown together with here and thera a situa tIon taken from the book and here and there a note or two of music that Is worthy of putting beside some of Hopper's former successes.
 The large and fashionable audience was not disappointed. but it was not satis- lied. The scenery and costumes were ad- equate, the stage pictures being beauti- ful. The chorus was pretty and in good voice and the company was well trained and careful as to detail The thing lack ing was MT. Pickwick" and a story with music written for 1t.
 So far as the big audience was con- cerned Miss Marguerite Clark as Polly shone resplendent ahead of every one else on the stage. She is a diminutive woman with a wealth of black hair and eyes She has resonant voice and she was a sunbeam on the stage. If she had been down near the footlghts oftener that audience would have gotten more pleasure out of the entertainment.
 Dlgby Bells Sam Weller. MT. Belcher's Tony Weller, MT. Paynes Jingle and the Fat Boy of MT. Bartlett were good.
 The piece was surrounded with every- thing that makes for success and yet it was not satisfying.
 Amuse us MT. Hopper, but don't dash our ideals to the cobblestones!

an attempt will be made to show that the entire institution of gambling on horse racing is contrary to law. hencs not entitled to protectio.
 Jockey Romanelli testified that he rode the mare June 16 and that there was not then any suspicion about the race. He said Farley simply pointed out to him the bad places and the good places at the head of the stretch, and told him to win if he could.
 Vernile Hughes. a Nebraska horse own CT. testified that he knew the mare Aim less very well and that he WAS in the grand stand at Grossepointe June 26 and recognized Aimless when the horses went to the post. He saw that she was entered as Sarah Black, and hastened down to the betting ring to place a bet, remark ing to some friends that there was "deal' on with the mare. The books had stopped taking bets, however.
 J. E. Winter. of Chicago. testified that after the races Farley admitted to him that he had substituted Aimless for Sarah Black in the race.
 Several other witnesses were examined and Justice Lenke then held Farley for trial In the Recorders Court and fixed the bail at g 800, which Farley did not furnish. He was committed to Jail.

 One of the prettiest of weddings took place at noon to-day at the Government Street Presbyterian Church, when Cap. tain William England Mickle and Miss Mary Holmes were made man and wife by the Rev. A. F. Carr. Long before the appointed hour. 12:30. the church began to fill with the friends of the two fami. lies. who were met and seated by the four ushers. Messrs. E. H. Britton, Rals. ton Burgett, T. M. McMillan. c. s. Shaw. han. The early comers had ample time to enjoy the beauty of the church decor. ations. which had been most artistically carried out by skillful hands, and to en. joy the music which preceded the arriva of the bridal party. Mrs. W. H. Leslie presided at the organ-the singers being Mrs. J. O. Dickens. Mrs. P. J. Acker Mir. Ernest Pianck and Mir. Thomas Hal. liwell.
 A: the appointed hour to the chorus oi Lohengrin's wedding march, the brida party entered. the groom. with his best man. Mir. Frank c.

Two little flower bearers completed the group John Randolph Boiling, son of MT. ana Mrs. Reuben Boiling, and Flora Gaillard daughter of MT. and Mrs. Palmer Gail lard.
 The brides costume was a travelling gown of castor cloth. with becoming toque, and she carried a bouquet oi bride roses. Her beauty Is of a high bred, patrician type. and reflected an in tellect rarer than mere prettiness. Tn, only daughter of MT. and Mrs. John Holmes, she has taken a prominent place in society since her debut. and ha. established for herself a place in tht literary world as well. Miss Louise Mickle, as maid of honor wore a blue broad cloth costume ant carried yellow roses. A number of pret ty costumes were also noticed, worn b! the relatives of the two young people.

 And the motion to table was lost. Would Go to- New Council.
 The question recurring to MT. Kohn's
 amendment MT. Toole for the first time
 during the meeting alluded to the new
 Council, saying that the object Of the
 Kohn amendment was to carry the matter
 beyond the power of the present Council.
 He demanded the ayes and nays on the amendment and the vote was as follows:
 Ayes-Messrs Fleming. Gunter, Kohn, Rushton.-L
 Nays-Messrs Anderson, Haygood, John- son. May, Roeder, Toole.-s. And the Kohn amendment was lost. Alderman Gunter moved to table the re- port until the next regular meeting. Alderman Toole demanded the ayes and nays and the vote was: Ayes-Messrs Fleming. Gunter' konn' Rushton.-4. ..t Nays-Messrs Anderson. Haygood, Jonn- son. May, Roeder, Toole.-s. And the motion was lost. The Council was about to proceed to adopt the report of the committee when Alderman Gunter announced that he de- sired the minutes to show that he pro- tested against the transaction of this business at a special meeting.
 At this juncture Alderman Kohn sent up an amendment that the Treasurer adver- tise for bids for ten days. This was evil , dently in the interest of the new Coun- ell and 1t was defeated by the ruthless majority, 6 to {. Then Alderman Gunter made a brief address. He said the old Council ought
 not to shirk its duty. but to take up this | matter now was a direct thrust at the incoming Council It was a direct inti- nation, he declared, that the new Council | would not perform its duty. T object to that" exclaimed Alderman | Anderson. T am voting for this report, and 1t seems to me that members of the new Council want to exercise their power | too soon." The previous question was demanded by Alderman Roeder and was ordered by the same vote, 6 to 1. When it came to the adoption of the re- | port, Alderman Rushton made the point that a minority of the Council could not expend money, and that the report au- thorized the Treasurer to contract for ad- vertising.
