MARY SHAW IN GHOSTS. ;

As was expected, the sale of seats opened up well for Mary Shaw's pre- sentation of Ghosts Monday evening at Polls, and there is every reason to believe that the audience win be larger than greeted her last season Ghosts is certainly great play: some critics have gone so far as to pronounce it the greatest of the cen tury. Certainly no theatrical per formance ever riveted the attention of an audience. more closely than this masterpiece of the Norwegian dra- matist. It's spectators sit spellbound as they watch the development of the powerful. tragic story. So strong Is the fascination that after the curtain falls for the last time the auditors, re 1uctant to leave their seats. reward the efforts of Miss Shaw and her as sociates with several calls. A descrip- tion of the vivid realistic. soul-stir. ring scenes in Ghosts would be pre- mature. They must be witnessed to he fully appreciated Prices are 9, 50 75- cents, S1 and S1.50.

Solar Ec11nse in China.

Some days before the recent solar eclipse occurred the mayor of Shang- hai issued proclamation, the pur- port of which was that all citizens should do their utmost to appease the Heavenly powers while the phenom- enon was in force. The proclamation began as follows:
 "On the first day of the third month of the second year of the reign of the Emperor Kouang Sou, great dog will begin to devour the sum-"
 Enigmatic this statement seems to us, but in China, it is well understood as is proved by the fact that on the day of the eclipse large crowds gath cred in various places, and. by threats and shouts, did their best to prevent the ravenous dog from devouring the sacred sun.--Stray Stories.

UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES"

es
 large audience is enjoying Under Southern Skies'' at Polls this after noon, and the advance sale indicates another large one this evening. The play is a wonderfully popular one. be cause of it's mingling of pathos and comedy. Almost the entire first and second acts are filled with life, gayety and fun. The birthday party in the first act and the Halloween celebra- ton which is the feature of the second act are replete with such natural, youthful fun and frolic that the audi ence seems to become a part of it and long to join in the merrymaking them selves. So deftly has the author woven her play that the audience is almost unaware of the fact that through all the funmaking the story is shaping itself until suddenly it leaps to the front, gripping the attention. the heart, the sympathies of the audience and holding them tense and fascinated with the denoument. The entire pro duction this season will be quite up to. if indeed 1t does not surpass. the stand ard of excellence set last season. Prices are 25. B, 30, 75 cents and $1.

Poison Can Be Saved.
Mason City. Feb. 12.-Medical science
is scoring n great achievement In this
city. Early in January Mrs. Jay D..
Decker gave birth to a child. Twenty
two days later, from unknown cause,
when the mother was up and around,
puerpural fever set in. The fever In
creased rapidly until the temperature
stood at 1O6 and the pulse rose to 100.
She grew worse and all hopes of re-
covery were gone. The physician had
noted that in New York. on Christmas
day, n new solution had been used with
remarkable success. AS a last resort
this was tried The first injection
consisted of 800 c. c. in proportions Of
1 to 1000 of formaldehyde, and it was
injected into the vacilic vein. The fever
in twenty minutes had dropped one de-
gree and the pulse fell to 130. In
twelve hours after the injection thu
fever stood at 1923. The next day
it raised to 105. 1t was then decided
to give n second injection, and the
strength was increased to 700 C. c. of
to 1000 formaldehyde. This was in
jected into the same vein in the op-
posite arm. The temperature dropped
one degree Immediately and continued
to drop right along. Three days after
the second injection the temperature
was at 9S6, the pulse at SIS. The patient
is now rapidly recovering and is pro-
nounced GU, of danger. Already in
quiriea from physicians In various To-
calities in the state have begun to come
in. and the cure that is certain will
attract a great deal Of attention from
a medical standpoint.

Davenport, Feb. 12.-For the first
time in their history last night the
cities Of Davenport, Rock Island and
Moline, Ill.,, We're called upon to send
their fire departments to the Rock ISL
and arsenal to fight what proved to be
the most costly conf1agration that ever
ragged in this portion of the Mississippi
valley. Storehouse A, the principal shop
of issue of the great arsenal, took fire
about o'clock in the evening, and the
flames ragged unconquered until they
had consumed the mammoth building
covering several acres of ground and all
its contents.
In the building were 100000 rounds
of Krag Jorgensen ammunition which
was soon involved in the flames. After
that the fire was accompanied by a
steady firing, as case after case of the
loaded shells was exploded, that eclip-
sed all the fusillades Of modern war
fare.
The task of fighting the flames was
made so hazardous that the f1remerl
were powerless to do more than prevent
the spread of the flames to other build
ings of the arsenal.
Bullets dropped upon all parts of the
beautiful island on which the arsenal
is situated. BY midnight nothing was
left of the immense shop but a mass
of glowing debris. Besides the ammuni-
toin the storehouse was packed with
cavalry and infantry equipment.
Major S. E. Blunt, commandant of the
arsenal, estimates the value of the
buildings and contents at $1,500,O0
The shop itself cost $4,000, making the
loss close to $2,0O0000.
