SWEET CLOVER
 PAR EXCELLENT.

A large house was out We'd nesday evening to see what may be most truthfully ascribed, the best production e V IT rendered upon the Newport stage. From the rising of the curtain to the final drop at the end of the 4th Act, interest never Jagged, and and the admiration of the audi ence for so excellent a company increased with every shifting of the scenes in t h S refreshing comedy drama Sweet Clover. !"
 The play is simple, yet power full; it follows along the old lines of woman marrying another than the one loved and leads the nearer to believe that the sins of one generation are visited upon

FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
Why the Twice-a-Week Republic Has Achieved Such Wide
 Popularity.

Established for nearly a cen- tury and read regularly by more than 500,000 persons in the west and southwest, the Twice-a-Week Republic of St. Louis can justly lay claim to that enviable dis tinction, "Favorite Home Pa per"
 It is great because it has al- ways aimed to inform, instruct and entertain it's readers on all matters of public and home in- terest. In 1904 it will be espe- cially interesting and valuable. Here are some reasons why you should subscribe for it:
 This is campaign year and you will want to be informed of the movements of party leaders, re- ports of the great national and state conventions, the progress of the campaign, reports of the election, etc.
 You will want to know all about the Worlds Fair, to be held in St. Louis from April 30 to December 1, 1904.
 You will be interested in and kept well informed by the farm visitor, a regular supplement of the paper, prepared especially for the farmer and his family.
 You will want to know what the world is doing in every field of activity, and through the un- surpassed news and special ser vice of the twice-a-week Repub- lie you will not be disappointed.
 In short sketches, choice bits of fiction, articles of interest to women, children and household suggestions the Twice-a-Week Republic easily leads among the weeklies of the great West.
 If you want the Twice-a-Week Republic sent to your address, order it at once direct from the office at St. Louis, Mo, or through your local newsdealer. It costs only $1 a year.

Jerome Hol- combe, the old farmer, and a genuine one, too, in the person of Otis B. Thayer, and Marie Del Vecchio as Abigail, his sis ter, are intensely interesting and true. Through them is much of the richest comedy introduced, though Sunny and her young doctor, who has three patients promised upon which to start married life, furnish valuable contributions.
 Interest centers about Miss Edna Robb, however, the queen ly daughter of old farmer Hol- combe, whose beauty is not age made, 'tis evident. Grace, ease and comedy features are all hers. 1 Nor is this fair picture spoiled by a disappointing voice. In her, and through her sweetly modu- lated tones, are expressed well the character of 'Sr9et Clover. 7 In the rural home and the city mansion, in the humdrum of simple life and the crises of a destiny, she is ever capable. She easily wins and fastens the ad- miration of her hearers.
