Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic condi- tions in the cure of consumption is very much overdrawn. The poor patient and the rich patient, too, can dc much at home by prop CT attention to food digestion, and a regular use of German Syrup. Free approximation in the morn ing is made certain by German Syrup, so is a good nights rest and the absence of that weak ening cough and facilitating night sweat. Restless nights and the eX- hauStion due to coughing, the greatest danger and dread Of the eonsumPtive, can he prevented or stopped by taking German Syrup hberaily and regularly. Should you be able to go to q warmer cline, you will find that of the thousands of eonsumptives there, the few who are benefited and re- gain strength are those who use German Syrup Trial bottles, 25c; regular size, 75c.

"The Wizard of o."

'gThe Wizard of o." the spectacular
extravaganza which had New York run
to large audiences, will be at the Jeffer-
son theatre next Tuesday Instead of
being based, as most extravaganzas are,
upon one of the ancient fairy tales, THE
Wizard of or" is derived from modern
fairy story of Twentieth century Kansas,
but there is no essential difference be-
tween the two sources. The story follows
the fortunes Of a bewitching little Topeka
girl, Dorothy Gale, who is transported
into fairyland by cyclone that dtsrupts
her ancestral home and transports her
her into the land of o. where she en-
counters all sorts of whimsical and fan
tastical creatures, witches, benevolent
and malevoent fAries, and finally the
mighty potentate The Wizard Of o."
who imposes upon the credulity of the
simple-minded faryfok who inhabit his
domain.
Chief of the personages in the action Is
a Scarecrow, who in one Of the earlier
scores of the extravaganza Is endowed
with life. and from thence on is the NOV
ing mirth-compeling spirit of the play.
There is also a Tip Woodman, who like
wise becomes a vital force for fun and
eomcalities after his joints become oiled
up once These two characters are abso-
lutely unique In the field of extravaganza.
Both are funny from start to finish and
never once do their antics and mad
pranks tire the audience
OF girls, THE Wizard of or" is exceed
ingly prolific.

Little outcast" The production will be
presented every night of the week begin
ming tomorrow night, with the usual
Bijou matinees Tuesday, Thursday and

"A Little Outcast" opened in August
and since then has created a furore on
the circuit. This is the production which
the critics characterize as the portrait
gallery" for all its characters are 10 be
met with daily in New York. 1t carries
the story from arstocratic Fifth avenue
to what Devery terms Double Fifth ave-
nue"-down on ths city map as Tenth

presented the most prominent being a
panoramic view of the Battery at night,
with the great dome of the World build
ing and adjacent sky-scrapers Illuminated
with hundreds of incandescent lights a
bizarre Chinese restaurant on Pell street
with its Oriental colorngs; a fashionable
womans boudoir, with glmpses of
pink marble swimming pool; and the
dockyard fire scene which is the big feat
ure of the production.

Ezra Kendall.

The irresistible Ezra Kendall, with his
twinlSling eye, his slow smile and his per-
suasive drawl, not forgetting his sky
scraper hat will be at the jefferson the
atre next Wednesday with his new play
1.-THE Vinegar Buyer" which has been
voted one of the successes of the present
season. As a monologuist he was SUI
preme and as a star in his own play he
is said to be funnier than ever. Herbert
Hall Winslow Is responsible for the play
which is replete with hendallsms This
can readily be seen by anyone who is
familiar with the clever humorist come
dams work. He sat by the side of the
author during the entire time of the writ
ing of the play and the result is a funny
entertainment.
The scene of 1.-THE Vinegar Buyer" is
the village of Brooklyn Indiana a small
hamlet of 100 inhabitants, about twenty
miles from indianapolis. The characters
are more or less faithful reproductions of
actual persons. Mr.. Kendall $ character
is that of a village humorist who, by his
straightfor wardness, captures the affec-
lions of all the townspeopls, both male
and female.
The title is an odd and amusing one
but it describes the Joe Miller of the
play, which Mr.. Kendall impersonates,
for Joe Miller does a lot of things in the
than his vocation as vinegar buyer.
Really the vinegar business cuts but u
small figure in the play though Joe Mil
Ter is a vinegar buyer" beyond question.
Still he is a grand good fellow, whom
the whole village learns to love for his
big heart wise head and generous I'M
pulses, whose whole life Is devoted to
good works, and whose bump of shrewd'
ness and knowledge of human nature en-
ables him to overcome the Vaccinations
of the wicked, and to care for the unfor-
tunate and oppressed in manner that
warns the heart of the auditor. The
Vinegar Buyer is, in fact, an attractive
human story of real life in this small
town of Indiana, and in>l which.is wo-
ven a collection of interesting characters,
bright and witty dialogue and impressive
situations, all of which, in the hands of
a good cast supporting Ezra Kendall
should prove a most delightful entertain
ment.

Tim Murphy.

Tim Murphy and his company will APP
pear at the jefferson theatre next Thurs
day.
Mr. Murphy is to present Martha Nor
toms romantic comedy "A Bachelors Ro-
NANCE" a play which is not only stirring
and virile, but intensely and humanity in
teresting and affords Mr. Murphy an OPP
portunity to display his peculiar powers
of Vigorous and healthful humor and at
the same time is vivifed by sufficient ac-
ton, color and contrast to make it
piquant and entertaining.
The part of David Holmes fits Muir
phys personality like glove he is big
and kindly, with an unwolidly wisdom
and genial drawl The role gives him
such an opportunity as he has seldom
had since he first won fame and fortune.
He has never been seen to better advan-
tage than in this play, which gives him
an opportunity to show the scope of his
art, and ne is by turns tender and hui
morous now thrilling into stern strength
or flashing fire. and then softcning into

causualy remarking afterward that he

which is worthy of more attention than it
has received. Why are genuine musical
prodigies comparatively common, whereas
in other branches of art they are prac-
tically nonexistent? We say genuine"
because 1t is undoubtedly the case that.
while of course not every precocious mu-
stefan is heard of in maturer life. nearly
every great musician has in his time been
a prodigy. One need only instance Mo-
Fart, Schubert. Haydn. Chopin and

Theatre goers will have no trouble in
picking a good play at the theatres this
week 1t looks ike they are all very good
and 1t is only matter of choice as to
which kind of a play the spectator would
rather see The patrons can have musi-
cal extravaganza, musical comedy, or
comedy of the purest kind, not to speak
OF a good melodrama.
The Wizard of OF is we'll known to
all theatre-goers, not because it has ever
been here. but because it was a success
in New York. Its unique characters and
music made it the success it was.
Ezra Kendall is probably not so well
known here as he is in many other places,
but the theatre-goer who does not see
THE Vinegar Buyer" will miss one of
the best comedies of the season. As a
comedian, or still better as a vaudeville
monologuist, Ezra Kendall stands without
a peer, and he has every necessary faei-
ity for producing fun at the head of this
organization.
Tim Murphy Is an old favorite here. 1t
is not a question of whether he will be
good or not Tor he is always that, and
it can hardly be doubted that the part of
David Holmes in "A Bachelors Ro-
nance" fits him well. 1t was one of Sol
Smith Russelrs plays, and Tim Murphy
is frequently spoken of as The actor of
the American stage TO step INTO the shoes
of the departed comedian.
"A Girl from Dixie comes well recon-
mended. 1t is unknown in Birmingham
except by reputation, but the name is
catchy, and several of its songs have
already been sung here. Anyway, it is
supposed to be a correct picture OF south
ern life, and Kitty Calvert is represented
as a southern girl.
"A Little Outcast'' is repLoed to be a
very interesting melodrama with well
woven story and some touches of natEal
life from New York. 1t has fire scene
which has given it good IT. jutaton.

her why she was playing in the dust.
Had she no garden at home? Did she
love flowers? What was her name? And
she replied modestly, with wonder in her
eyes. on reaching home he gave orders
to his solicitor to look out for and buy
a cottage with garden in Radley and
have a deed of gift made out in the little
girls name. which was done accordingly
and she, full of wonder, with her aston

Marshalltown, Aug. 10.-Prospects
that Marshalltown may again enter the
Iowa National Guard has caused con-
siderable activity among the members
of the old Company H, disbanded some
time ago. At that time the principal
trouble was the lack of suitable
armory in which to meet and drill, and

claim that about 5000 can be turned
over yearly for rent, and that this
should be an inducement to some own
er of a suitable hall.
The report is that now there are
about forty young men who are will
ing to take up the work, and as there
are two or three vacancies in the four
different regiments in which this city
could enter, it seems that almost i'm
mediate recognition should be received.
The young men are urging Lieuten-

again, and if he should, will be elect
