VIEWS 0F DISTRICT
 GREATLY ADMIRED
To be Displayed at Commercial
 Club Rooms Again Today
SPLENDID SHOWING MADE
VIII Be Exhibited at St. Louis In Unique cabinet-EIeetrio Device Will Be Employed In Show
 ing the Views.

The views of the Birmingham district, which have been displayed in the Com mercial club rooms for several days, will be shown again tomorrow. Over 200 photo- graphs, showing the various industries, pleasure resorts, public buildings, hand some residences and natural scenery, are arranged in such order that all of them can be easily seen.
 It was thought at one time that the views would not be exhibited again to- day, but at the request of numerous per sons it was decided to show them once more. There is no admission fee and the public is cordially invited to visit the club rooms. The display is instructive as well as entertaining.
 Handsome Showing.
 The pictures range in size from SxlO inches to 1sx22 inches. and are fine speci- mems of photographic art. Everything of interest in and around Birmingham is shown There is a complete map of the district, giving the location of all the principal industries and places of interest.
 A neat and attractive little pamphlet giving the resources and advantages of the Birmingham district, is given to ev- cry one visiting the rooms. The booklet Is weT illustrated and tells In an inter- estlng manner all the facts of the city's marvellous growth.
 Every one who saw the exhibit was greatly surprised at the splendid show ing made, and MT. HiIty, who has had charge of the display. Is the recipient of many congratulations.
 Unique Machine.
 The views will be displayed at St. Louis in an unique machine which is now being constructed. The cabinet contain ing the mechanism Is 15 feet long, by 3 feet wide and feet high and is highly polished The photographs will be mount ed on panels and these panels will form a chain. Eighteen views will be shown at one time and every ten seconds the chain will move, giving new picture. The ma chine is run by an electric motor and re- quires very little attention. Another ad- vantage of the device is that it will hold practically any number of pictures.
 After the fair the cabinet will be placed permanently in the Commercial club rooms

"Joe" PORTE the Victim.

Everybody (nearly) knows Joseph
Portz, the Uniontown man, and
this is how zoe" received it in the
neck, so to say, last Saturday night,
according to Review telegram
Portz closed up his saloon and
started home about II o'clock. Just
after he turned the corner of the
Commercial hotel three masked men
attacked him. One struck him on
the head with a sandbag or other
blunt instrument, knocking him
down, and then, pointing two guns
at his head, told him to lie still.
They went through his pockets,
taking about $3.50 in money, S54
in checks, and a gold watch and
chain. They then made him get
up, and at the point of revolvers
marched him down the middle of
the street about four blocks to the
Northern Pacific tracks, opened the
door of an empty boxcar, and threw
him in and locked the door. A.
Mossman, proprietor of the Palace
saloon, who lives short distance
from the scene of the holdup, heard
the scufie and aroused the city
marshal. Together they began an
investigation. AS they neared the
warehouses on the Northern Pacific
sidetracks they heard Portz calling.

It is Just a common cold, people say,
there's no danger in that Admitting their
statement, then there are uncommon colds,
colds which are dangerous for many a
fatal sickness begins with cold. If we
could tell the common cold from the I'M
common we could feel quite safe. But we
can't. The uncommon variety is rarely
recognized until it has fastened its hold on
the lungs, and there are symptoms of con-
sumption.
At the first symptoms the careful person
will heed the warning by taking a mild
laxative some vegetable pill that will not
disturb the system or cause gripping. About
the best is "Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. {"
If the cold starts with cough and it
persists then some local treatment for this
condition should be taken. A we'll known
alternative extract, which has been highly
recommended by thousands of users, Is

This tonic compound is composed of an
extract of roots and herbs and has a sooth-

To Benefit Miners.

The committee on resolutions at
the mining congress in Portland
has favorably reported the Richards
resolution urging Congress tocreate
a government department of mines
and mining with a cabinet officer
at its head. The idea has been
generally approved by mining men
and, as it will probably be adopted
by the full congress, it will unques
tionably have influence with the
law makers, who long ago had this
important matter brought to their
notice.
The mining industry is SO widely
scattered, and people of so many
different sections of the country are
identified with it, that it is quite as
deserving of federal encouragement
as many other forms of industrial
activity to which the government
has given it's attention. 1t is not a
function of the government to OPP
crate mines; neither is it the pro-
vince of the government to go into
farming. But the interests of the
agrlculturists have been deemed
sufficiently important to occupy the
attention of special department,
and why should mining not be de-
serving of equal recognition?
1t would be no novel idea. Gov
ernments, under whose jurisdiction
large mining operations have been
developed, have seen fit to establish
departments of mines that have
worked immense benefits to the in
dusrty. BY geological investiga
tions, by distribution of scientific
information, by promotion of ex
ploration, by judicious control o
mining corporations and adequate
protection of the Individual miner
and prospector, governmental min
ing departments have done much
to open new mineral sections anC
develop the industry; and if the
creation of such departments has
been productive of good results
elsewhere, a similar innovation in
this country ought to be advanta
geous.
AS President Richards said in his
address, the demand is not that the
government assume a paternal or
patronizing attitude toward the
mining industry, or that it make
mining men present; but rather
that it cooperate with those now in
the industry to make it larger, bet
ter and more successful.

Now, Ladies-Your Turn!

Among the exciting attractions at
the fair grounds this year in Spo-
kane will be the relay race for wo-
men. Already several women have
intimated that they will enter this
thrilling and at the same time dan
gerous competition. Manager R.
n. Cosgrove is arranging this race
in q way which promises to make it
the big thing of the fair. The purse
is.$5oo.
None but expert horsewomen will
be permitted to run this race. The
danger is too great for anyone who
is not very skillful. In Montana at
the last fairs it proved to be the
great attraction of the races. The
race in Spokane will be continued
for five days, running four miles
each day.
Each woman has at least four
horses. Five are still better, giving
a reserve horse in case one should
be disables. The Spokane toack is
- half mile long. Each horsewo-
man changes horses at the end of
each mile, or every second time
around. The second day the same
horses are used by the same woman,
and so on each of the FIVE days. The
race is not completed until the end
of the fifth day.
Changing horses is the exciting
and difficult part of the race. When
a woman becomes an expert she
makes the change almost without a
stop. She has no one to assist her
to mount. A man holds her horse,
but that is all.
The change is made in front OF
the grandstand, where the shouts
of the spectators do not add to the
steadiness of the horse. The rider
and horse approach at full speed.
She slackens the speed little and
springs to the ground. AS her foot
touches the ground she seizes the
pommel Of the saddle of the fresh
horse. AS her hand catches it hel
attendant gives the new horse cut
and it dashes off before she ha:
mounted, and the fair rider is liter
ally jerked into the saddle.
Women who enter the race prob
ably will be compelled to ride
astride. There would be too much
danger of the rider being killed i
she attempted to ride otherwise.
Each woman supplies her own
horses, which she can practice with
and train as much as she chooses
The woman who wins snch a race
is an expert, but she must divide
honors with her horses.
The total amount of the premiums
now placed for races is $I2 900.
The fair management has recently
added purses for five harness races.
This will make total of three run
ming and two harness races a day,
besides the women's relay race,
which will fill the afternoon till
dark.

shakespeare's "TweIfth Night"

The first performance of Shakes
peare's Twelfth, Night" was given
on February 2, 1901. John Naming
ham, a dramatic critic of that period,
said of it: cat our feast we had a
play called Twelfth Night, or What
You Will Much like the Comedy OF
Errors or 'Menechmi in Plautus;'
ibut most like and near to that in
Italian called 'Inganni.' A good prac-
tice in it to make the steward be-
lieve his lady widow was in love with
him, by counterfeiting as from his
lady in general terms, telling him
What she liked best in him, and pre-
scribing his gesture in smiling, his
apparel, etc., and then when he came
to practice, making him believe they
took him to be mad"
This probably is the Oldest critique
of the comedy. 1t gives no account
of any of the actors who played any
of the parts. Since boy lmpersona-
tors of heroines were abolished, the
great actresses of the world have
essayed Viola and Cesario in Twelfth

found Viola a tempting morsel. 1t is
not saying too much, however, that
Miss Marie Wainwright is the fore
most exponent of this character OF
the present day. She combines the
delightful comedy and the gentle ten
derness of this dainty heroine, and
when disguised as the boy Cesario

with gorgeous costumes and splendid

N is BETTER.
His Recovery Looked for Within
Reasonable Time.

Reasonable Time.
Washington, Feb. 4-Senator Hanna
who is quite ill at his apartments, is
somewhat better today. Doctor Brew
er of New York, who was telegraphed
for by Mrs. Hanna, arrived, and a
consultation of the three physicians
engaged on the case followed.
The following bulletin regarding
Senator Hanna's condition vas given
out Immediately after the %consulta-
ton:
"At the consultation held this morn
ing no new feature was found in Mr..
Hanna's condition. He is suffering
from a recurrent attack of grip, with
an unusual amount of physical de.
preston. There are no alarming
symptoms, and no reason to believe
that recovery will not take place with.
in a reasonable time"
Blood drawn from the patient today
was submitted to a microscopic ex-
animation. The examination of the
blood did not disclose any affection Of
the heart or lungs. The possible de-
velopment of typhoid fever or kidney
trouble is the chief source of appre-
hension.
Doctor Rixey, after a consultation at
= o'clock tonight, said there had been
a distinct improvement in Mr.. Han
mas condition, and that if nothing
occurred to cause another setback,
he would be able to sit up in a week.
