A LAND OF WONDERS.


Tho Sightsser Finds Many Thing q
Interest in California.
California has natural
bridges, caves, etc. of no little interest.
The MamOth Cave Of C~alaveras, dis
covered by miners in 1850; the Alabsster
Cave; the Crystal Palace Cave, contain
ing a number of attractive subterranean
apartments, such as the bridal Cham
Der, the Chrystal Palace Room. Acuri-
GUS apartment called Music Hall. where
the deposits Of aqueous origin not only
take the form Of organ pipes, sounding
boards ETC., but emit, when struck, must
calsOnuds and vibrations. Near this ave
are two natural bridges which the tour
lst can visit and return to the railroad
within half an hour. The only natural
way to reach these scenes of interest is
via 1.-The Overland Limited, Route"
comprising the Union Pacific and South
srn Pacific. now really one line. The
,nly line running through trains to San
francisco from Omaha, its fast trains
arriving sixteen hours ahead of all cOml
petitors. Pamphlets and maps describ
rng the wonders of California, and full
information about the most comfortable
and direct route to the Pacific Coats, can

Do Not Suppress a couah.

When YOU have cough do not try
to suppress it. but remove the cause.
The cough is only a symptom of some
disease. and the disease is what you
should cure. then the cough will stop
of itself. The most common cause of
coughing is a cold. Anodynes will
promptly suppress the cough, and
preparations containing chloroform
opium, etc. are used for that purpose.
but they do not cure the cold. Cham
bcrlain's Cough Remedy, on the other
hand. does not suppress the cough, but
relieves il by removing from the throat
and lungs the mucous which obstruct-
ed the breathing and allaying the irri-
tation and tickling in the throat. 1t
also opens the secretions and effectu-
ally and permanently cures the cold as
well as the cough. For sale by all
leading druggists.

In the Far East.

Recognizing the fact that the Japan

1ect of interest in the public mind.
John Crittenden Webb. the author of
many successful military dramas. de
cided to- give theatregoers a play that
would appeal strongly TO the prevailing
taste and at the same time afford a
picturesque background for some most
novel and interesting scenic environ
ment- With this object in view. nego-
tiations were entered into with the
New York Herald whereby their spe-
cial staff correspondent. William +.
MAYHEM. would furnish sketches and
descriptions of the most prominent
scenes and incidents of that far-off
struggle. Three months have been
spent in the building of scenery and
effects; all of which are accurately true
10 the most minute detail. Costumes
and scenery are the exact reproduc-
tons Of the sketches furnished. and
the noted character types will be cas-
lily recognized by the reading public. \
number of American characters are
introduced To add flavor. and the play
and production are mentioned as one
Of the absolute hits of the current
theatrical season. The play comes to

In Its Tenth Season.

The Heart of Chicago" which is
now in its 10th successful season. will
be seen at the Illinois theatre next
Sunday evening. Chicago has the rep
utation of being the wickedest city in
the country. that is. some years since
but OF late years the moral tone has
been improved very much. but at the
time this play was written il was brim-
full Of wickedness and sensation. Ere
quent attempts at murder and train
wrecking are in evidence much in the
play. and II ends when the villain,
thwarted and arrested, asks for five
minutes alone in his own home. This
IS granted by the detective. and the
villain, after an attempt TO leave the
house. puts the muZzle of a revolver
into his mouth. pulls the trigger ana
dies in his chair-a most creditabie
ending. Several specialties are intro
duced during the action. and the cast
is said to be one of the best ever got
