pleasure is. These famous little pills
cleanse the liver and rid the system
of all bile without producing unpleas-

In discussing the longevity of come
dies upon the American stage, due
notice must be given to the apparently
imperishablc "Ion Yonson." Some
managers are wont to boast of Sc
ries of long runs in New York city
without taking cognizance of the i'm
preston their entertainment leaves
throughout the country. The popu-
larity of "Non NonSon" however. was
not only confined to the metropolis,
but the Swedish dialect company has
proven Il valuable ten year triumph as
it has been played from Sandy Hook
to the Sacramento Valley, year in
and year out, without losing Il single
feature of its popularity. This season
there is Il new lyon Nonson" who
himself comes from 'IIemlandet." His
name is NelSc Erickson and he was
born in the shadow of the mighty
Kullagunnarstorp which rearS its
giant head just outside the town of
IIclsingborg on the shores of the pla-
cid waters of Oresund. Mr.. Erickson
is a young man. being only % wears
old. who learned his first lessons in
dramatic art on the stage of the Royal
opera house in Stockh ohm. where he
was valuable member of King Os-
cars stock company for several years.
Having several relatives in this coun-
try, who constantly wrote glowing
letters about the brilliant future in
store for any Young man who chooses
to make America his home Mr.. Erick-
son. at last determined to strike out
for fame and fortune i'll the far-otf
land beyond the sea. Upon his arrival
in New York he. succeeded ut once in
getting a very profitable engagement
at Keith's theatre, receiving an enor-
nous salary for his Swedish dialect
sketch. p J. Kennedy saw Mr.. Ericll-
sons work and Immediately engaged

rs MUCH ACTIVITY
State Fair Grounds at Springfield
Being Placed in Readi-
ness.
EXTENSIVE CHANGES TO BE MADE
Walks to be Covered and Several
New Buildings
Put Up.

The state fair grounds at Spring
field are assuming busy aspect in
preparation for the annual fair the
last of this month. The new buildings
hare a good way toward completion
and all viii be ready by the time the
fair opens. The new dairy building
has been almost finished, the roof
now being laid. This building, which
is situated near the race track, just
east of the Sangamon clubhouse, is n
beautiful one-story building, of dark
brick, with a spreading roof, and will
add greatly to the general effect of
that part of the grounds.
The women's building, which is be-
ing built just across the drive south
of the grand stand will be one of the
most attractive buildings on the
grounds. Made of light-coIored brick,
with an ornamental roof, and porti-
Goes ON three sides, this new struc-
ture will offer tempting resting
place to those who become tired of
the continual grinding of the sight
seer. This building is now reaching
the last stages of completion and will
be ready for use ina short time.
UO coliseum
The new addition to the coliseum is
of stone and brick, and the stone
work has already been laid and the
addition is now ready for the finish
ers. This addition will add twice the
capacity of the original building and
will afford all the showing room nee
eSsary
y contract has been let and work
Will soon be under way on the Gov
crin@ of the walks all through the
grounds. The value of this improve
ment will be especially apparent in
rainy weather.
Another improvement of Importance
this year is i'm the transportation fa-
cilities. For the past few years many
complaints have been made concern
ing the poor transportation to and
from the grounds, and on the evenings
cf the big days it has been almost
impossible TO reach the city from the
center of the grounds under an hour,
and many persons have been injured
or greatly disconnected while in the
scramble for cars and trains. The
street car company ana the railroads
are already preparing their trains for
the fair and it is promised that the
transportation facilities this year will
be much superior to any of past
years.
Extra Trains Put On.
The Chicago e. Alton has arranged
the train schedule to and from the
grounds i'm such Il manner that their
service will be almost doubled. the
trains will run faster and the rusheS
at the gates will be greatly reduced
by Il system OF gates in the terminals
which will prevent the people from
crowding upon the platform in larger
numbers than can be carried by each
train. Thus the danger to the pas
scrger will be greatly diminished
and no one will be allowed on the
| platform until the trains have come
to full stop.
The racing card for the fair this
year promises to be good one and
for several weeks trainers have been
busy on the track with their horses
| The stables now contain some good
animals and each day will see the adj
vent of a few new ones
The business men of Springfield are
preparing to hold carnival during
| the week of the fair.

1.-THE James Boys in Missouri is the
latest melodramatic production to be
seen at the Grand opera house Mon
day. Tuesday and Wednesday next
week and at the Wednesday matinee.
There is a pretty love story nicely
woven throughout this play and the adj
ventures of the James boys are thrill
lingly depicted. There are four acts,
each environed with handsome scenic
dressing. The play is staged In fin
ished manner and the company is of
the better kind headed by George
Klimt and Alma Hearn, who have won
distinction heretofore in prominent pro-
auctions. The famous Blue-Cut train
hold-up, which. took place in 1851, is
wildly shown. The immense train
runs on to the stage in full view of
the audience and all of the features OF
this great train robbery are shown in
realistic manner. The other acts are
no less interesting and 1.-THE James
Boys in Missouri will be found to be
the best dramatization of affairs con-
corning these well known characters.
