years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced 1t a local disease and prescrib.
ed local remedies, and by constantly
falling to cure with local treatment,
pronounced 1t incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional

event. "Ben Hur" is the most sue.
c%essful, powerful and realistic stage
narrative dealing with the times of the
Messiah that has ever been offered the
American public. 1t has all the ele-
ments of love making, comedy, beau.
tiful ~tableaux, exciting scenes, and
marvellous mechanical effects, like the
great chariot race in which eight horses
take part, that has compelled attention
from all classes.
"Ben Hur'' was presented in Kansas
City last season for two weeks, and at
every performance hundreds were
turned away unable to find as much as
even standing room. 1t will be well,
therefore, for those who intend visit

son virtually admits his overwhelm-
ing defeat, and yet, Notwithstanding
that fact be goes over the state still
making a spectacle Of himself. The
only thing now that prompts lin is
to raise as much Old Ned as possible.
He does like discomfort among the
people and conditions can not become
too demoralized to suit his taste. In
addition to his own harpings, he finds
1t pleasing to have Bryan come and
add his wailing voice to the general
show. The only thing that Tom has
to gam, and he oycrIooks that, is the
admission fee at the door of the circus
tent, and, yet the people Of Ohio
would not have enough appreciation
of the performance he and his cohorts
put up to pay even a nominal circus
price, When they want to see the
elephant or the monkey, they prefer
no limitations.

is not a dictator by any means, but to
the contrary yields himself to the
wishes of the people and uses his en-
