The finest performance of the
week so far was given last night
by the Margaret Neville COM
pany. ''Leah the Forsaken' was
the bill and the manner in which
it was produced left nothing to be
desired. Miss Neville as Leah
achieved a versatile triumph. Her
work in the curse scene was SIM
ply superb. Tonight Carmen
will be the attraction and another
treat is promised theatergoers
The part Of Carmen" the coquet-
fish, inconstant,. gypsy, fits Miss
Neville like a glove while the gay
costumes and picturesque settings
make a most attractive picture for
the eye. New specialties will be
introduced and Cradoc, the RO-
man ak king, will make another
appearance in his great act.

Rev. II. B. and Mrs. BOwden
will leave tomorrow for Nc
Mechen. their new home and field
: of labor. We realize what we are
losing, but congratulate the peO-
pie of the new charge for the
prize they have won. During
Rev. and Mrs. Bowden's residence
of seven years in our city they
have endeared themselves to all
who know them, they have really
become one of us. They will be
missed in many ways as citizens.
They were among the best, as pas.
tor and wife all that could be de-
sired, for entertaining they could
not be surpassed, their home was
always open and a hearty well
come greeted all, they have we
can truy say become the most
popular pastor and wife of the
city. Rev. Bowden's deeds of
charity and kindness are widely
known; there was no call unan-
swered day or night; the palace
and howell were on an equality
when he could help in any way !;
the rich and poor were alike his
friends. Mrs. BOwden'S work

How Fast a Horses Feet Move.


Did you ever think, says horseman,
how fast q horse in 2:20 gait moves
his feet? When horse is trottiug q
2:20 gait his feet move little faster
than a mile in ITO. As his body Is
moving at 2:20 and as each Of his feet
when in contact with the ground is
stationary and then is picked up and
moved forward to take the next STEP
the foot must move as much faster
than the body as to make the step,
which is over twice as fast. Now, the
action is: The foot is at rest upon the
ground and Is raised some one or two
feet high, then forced forward nearly
the full length Of the leg, then lowered
to the ground and Is at rest for nearly
two-thirds Of the time that the next
step is being taken. The time, nearly
two-thirds. think, is too long, but it Is
from onchalf to rwc-thirds OF the next
step.
The Nose.
Use the nose to breathe through and
not the mouth. In winter and spring
particularly must this care be taken.
If the mouth Is kept open large drafts
of cold air rush directly in upon the
lungs, chilling the body almost in
stantly. If the mouth is kept shut the
air can reach the lungs only by the
circuit Of the nose and head. and 1t be-
comes warmed before reaching the
lungs. 1t is asserted that the reason
the American nose Is becoming more
and more narrow is owing to the repre-
hensive habit of breathing through the
mouth rather than following the inten.
ton Of nature.
The Democratic Apple.
a southern editor says this in praise
Of the apple: The apple Is the most
democratic 81 all fruits. The pome-
granate is priestly. the grape Is royal,
the orange is luxurious. the peach and
pear are plutocratic, but the apple be-
longs to the populace. 1t is symbolic
of the country store and the corner gro
Gerry. 1t breathes the free spirit Of the
American township and village. 1t
has a flavor of old New En-'t;:i and
yet a pungency as of the south and
middle west. 1t Is mild, palatable,
nourishing and promotive Of good feh
lowshir and lcrg life"

A Great Coal Production.

Last year the total coal production
of the country was over 800. 000, 900
short tons, and while the bituminouS
product showed wonderful increase
the anthracite had an actual loss of
40 percent. The actual loss of time
and money. to say nothing of the Suf-
fering. of any person suffering from a
weak stomach or diseased kidneys
cannot be estimated. but we do not
know that when Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is resorted to at the first symp-
tom quick cure is invariably effect
ed. This has been the experience of
thousands of persons who have volun-
tarily testified to the fact. We urge a
trial at once. You'll find it unequaled
as cure for sour stomach, nausea.

years. My case was almost hopeless.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure was recon-
mended. and | used few bottles of it,
and il is the only thing that has reliev-

doctored with local physicians and also
at Chicago. and even went TO Norway

of country.
Within the last 10 years. thou
sands of dollars have been spent In
an effort TO make IL easy for farm
ers to- tsade at a town. Hundreds of
miles of hard road have been built in
Illinois. Indiana and Michigan. and
the town people have largely contribut-
ed towards this Improvement Other
towns have built large hitching barns
in which a farmer may drive his team.
where IL may stand under shelter until
he is ready TO return TO his home. The
towns that are without an electric line
are at a disadvantage with those that
have. Where in former years il was.
necessary To hitch up and drive to
town. he may now board car at his
farm gate. load in his produce. and
make the trip cheaper and quicker
than to make use of his team. which
may be put TO some other use dur
ing his absence. And all this time

lact of moisture
A greater portion of the corn crop
has been husked and cribbed. and a
considerable amount marketed. The
crop is generally well matured. there
being but little unripe AT the time of
coming of killing frost. The princi-
pal damage ensued from prostrating
winds in September. but the proper
ton injured is inconsiderable.
Wheat still maintains good condi-
ton. but is much in need of rain. The
crop has made slow growth on account
of lack of sufficient moisture. Rye is
also backward Pastures and new
sown meadows are not doing well.
Pastures are short in most sections.
and entirely bare in some. Stock is
generally in healthy condition. A few
cases of hog cholera were reported.
Apples are keeping well in the north
ern counties. but much complaint is
made of rotting in other sections.

Boston Herald: German health Off
GERS who have been investigating con-
ditions in railroad trains OF that coun-
try have arrived at the rather surpris-
ing conclusion that one runs more risk
in travelling second class on the rail
ways OF the empire than in taking the
third-class carriages. The reason for
this Is that the third-cIass cars have
uncushioncd. wooden benches which
do not harbor as many germs as do
the cushions provided in the second
class cars. In this country there has
been action taken in some OF the states
absolutely forbiddinE the use OF plush
or any similar material as a covering
for car seats.
