occurred a few miles northwest of

the storm encountered an army of

came from is a mystery, but it is the
general opinion that they fell from the

is often beneficial when the skin Is
much infamed or itches, but you can [
depend upon local remedies for perma-

throwing off impurities which irritatc

eruptions last. To effectually and per-

"GEORGE w. SCOTT COMPANY" :"

One of the best repertoire companies on the road is coming and will hold the boards at the Opera House nights commencing Monday, April 13. Prob ably the uppermost reason why this company so quickly wins their way to the hearts of the people is because of their originality. Their repertoire of society dramas, comedies and melo- dramas, all of which are Royalty plays, bear no resemblance to any plays you have ever seen, and yet they are just as you think they should be, which makes you wonder why some one else did not offer you the same class of attractions long ago. High class, modern vaudeville be- tween acts at each and ev " per formanee, is one of the features of this organization. The opening bill will be Hal Reid's great play, "Roa- noke."
