play nova days is complete
without something in the way
OF mechanical effects. "Uncle
Josh Spruceby" lays claim to
one OF the most novel scenes of
any piece on the road this sea
son. A full and entirely practi-
Cal saw mill is placed upon the
stage and appropriate scenerv
IS used to make superior stage
picture. When the heroine is
rescued from her perilous posi-
tion at the climax of the act the
hearty applause gives evidence
OF the appreciation of this acme
of stage realism.

edy production, "Uncle Josh
Spruceby." This popular play

The realistic saw mill scene
in "Uncle Josh Spruceby. the
down East play, comes nearer
to the genuine article than any
OF the many stage effects now
before the public. In fact, so
real is the 36 inch buzz saw,
that one of the actors of the
play had his right hand cut off
at the wrist during a perform

Stranglers. took on. The famous Shot gun Collins joined the bunch. There were II of them. There wasn't a des- perado or lawbreaker in the lot. But they were tired of Stranglers.
 "The two warned-out men. Fay and Radde, dropped at II o'clock that night into Wah Jim's Chinese restaurant. They sat on rough stools before rough tables. side by side. and facing the front. They didn't appear to be both- cred about the near approach of their warned-out hour. 11:30. They heard the train come in. and they heard the train go out. Then they began to wait for something to happen. It was pitchy dark outside, but when. three or four minutes after the train pulled out, the two dealers saw by the light issuing from the Chink's windows a number of men approaching the restaurant they knew the game was on. They waited for the first of the dozen or so Stran- glers to get into the frame of the door. when they kicked their stools from be- meath them. and were lying fiat on their stomachs on the floor They were no sooner down than from the rear of that Chink's eating house there came a volley the like of which Il bet no Stran- gler or vigiante in Arizona or anywhere else had ever gone up against before The volley was made by sawed-off shot guns. loaded with slugs. and Dave Black and his bunch of anti-Stranglers. plant ed in the dark in the rear of the Chinese grub shop. were the makers of it. It just tore the whole front of the China mans restaurant to spiinters. only i've men of the squad of dozen Stranglers lived long enough even to be surprised. and those five were too much plugged to care much one way or the other.
 "Ambuscade? Of course 1t was an ambuscade. But you've got to remem- Der that there's such thing as fight ing fire with fire. When you dig down to the root of it. what was the spirit of the whole vigilante business but the ambuscading spirits When you're fighting Injuns you do better when you fight Iniun-wise. I don't ask anybody to subscribe to my opinions. but think the vigilantes of Flagstaff got what was coming to them. The Sfranglers' or- ganization fell apart after that night. and it was never patched together again--Washington Star.

Governor La Toilette, of Wisconsin,
has affixed his signature to one of the
most interesting bills ever passed by a
legislature. The measure is known as
the "anti-graft bill" and it is now law.
By it's terms, employees are prohibited
from requesting or accepting any gra-
tuity and all persons are prohibited
from giving or Offering any gift or tip
whatever to any agents, servants or
employees. The Madison correspondent
for the Chicago Record-Herald says:
"While the bill was originally aimed at
the practice of paying commissions to
employees of large stores or corporations
whose influence went great way in
the purchase of ,ods: it also is con-
tended that it applies to the practice
of tipping. A violation of the law is
made misdemeanor. punishable by a
fine of not less than $40 nor more than
$500, or fine and Imprisonment for a
year"

their experience publicly. Here's a

Miles Martindale, living in the south
west part of Leon, says: Last winter
I came home from days work and was
taken with chills and fever. Since then
my kidneys have bothered me. The Sc
cretions from those organs contained a
sediment, were full of acid, scalded,
pain existed in the loins and kidneys
and during the day if stopped, sharp
twinges were my reward and at night |
was unable to straighten if even sat
still in chair for short time. | tried
everything which came to my notice in
the shape of medicine but really
think was growing worse in place of
better. Finally deciding to try Doan's
Kidney Pills went to L. Van Werden's
drug store for box. They gave better
results than any other medicine ever
tried. They stopped the backache and
corrected the kidney secretions. | con-

Nan Patterson goes free, and a weary
public acquiesces in the circumstance.
Possibly it was she that fired the shot
which terminated the lecherous career
of the gambling sport who disgraced
himself and involved his family in
humiliation to consort with her, but if
she did the world is better off for the
act. Yet, there may indeed be grave
doubt as to her guilt, and conviction, in
view of that fact, would have been
lamentable. But this brazen show
girl is entitled to none of the honors
due heroine, and the mawkish demon
stration of the New York crowd that
noisily gloried in her liberation was
wholly 'discreditable. If Nan Patterson
We're not creature of self-confessed
sinfulness she would gladly lapse into a
state of retirement, but it may be fear
ed that her baleful notoriety will only
constitute capital for profitable dis
play Of her personality in the glare of
the footlights.

That business conditions generally
over the country are excellent is fact
far outweighing the disquietude among
Wall street operators. Give us good
business, good crops and plenty of
money in the banks everywhere and
the brokers may quarrel over quotations
all they please. Wall street conditions
used to be interpreted as rejecting the
country. 1t is consoling fact that
they do not reflect it. The misinter-
probation has frequently been as wide
as the margin between prosperity and
panic. There should be no sympathy in
the country now with Wall streets
lugubrious apprehensiveness.-S Louis
Republic.

NOT DIGGING DEEPLY,

The men pretending to investigate
railroad rates at Washington are not
digging deeply. They do not care to
get at too many real facts. They care
for nothing more than theories. They
do not wish to meet the shippers who
are aggrieved. They rather avoid a
show of figures. They dislike to be
compelled to face conditions.
They could compile all the evidence
necessary to prove gross discriminat ion
and not use more than six days in the
effort. Any man determined to investi-
gate the matter in Iowa can find the
evidence. He can obtain the books and
affidavits of business men to prove dis
elimination of the grossest character.
The national senators do not care for
these things. They peter the testimony
Of the politicians that proves nothing
and allows them to hedge. They rather
play fast and loose with the business
interests. Cases of over charging could
be proved. Efforts to injure one city
for the benefit of another city are
clearly established. Way bills can be
produced to show that trusts and COM
bines have been given rates that could
not be secured by independent competi-
IL
be cited and proved. 1t can be shown
that points outside the state are favor
ed over points within the state. 1t has
been claimed and not denied that Iowa
shippers are compelled to pay bridge
tax that is not paid by the shippers of
other states.
These conditions have existed for
years, and the facts have been known
by United States senators and repre-
sentatives who, in many cases, are
pledged to the railroads to oppose any
effort at correction. That is the truth.
The senators and representatives will
hardly care in many cases to make
denial. They are not at this time max
ing the effort to learn anything for
themselves. They are seeking when
compelled to take the action-to ascer-
tain how many of the things that they
have known all the time have come to
the knowledge of the general public
The senators could give more testimony
than the witnesses they have summoned
and if they would turn states evidence
they could convict the roads without
putting the nation to great expense
So far as the investigation is concerned
it is a mockery. The senators know
more than they hope the people have
found out. They are playing the public
for suckers in the hope of securing de
lay, and they hope to be able to inves
excuses for inaction. They know wha
should be done for the correction O
conditions, and they mean to do the
smallest, possible amount of it.-Cedal
Rapids Gazette.
