establish the fact that the gates of hell
are located there"
THE impression Is out" says the
Gate City, boasting over the success of
Keokuk in securing her dam, that it
has got to be SO down at Washington
that when any branch of the govern
ment sees the Keokuk water power
committee coming it runs up the white
flag at once and asks for the best
terms possible under the circum-
stances"
Tom Dennison will ask the supreme
court of the United States for re-
hearing. tom is probably Of the
opinion that the gentlemen who con-
stitute that tribunal do not fully I'M
derstand who he is" says the Des
Moines Capital.

"The car told the workingmen that
It had been necessary to kill some of
their numbers in order to gain his
ends" says the Cedar Rapids Gazette,
and adds, THAT is about what the
Russian working people seem to have
figured out in his case, and they are
supposed to still have the wish to at
tain their ends"

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years 1t has been supposed tina.
Catarrh of the Stomach caused Indigestion
and dyspepsia. but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of Indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
>xposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead Of
the juices Of natural digestion. This Is
called Catarrh of the Stomach

the wicked who stand in slippery

PLAYS AND PLAYERS


village. The humble home of Bobby Burns at the foot of the Ayrshire noun tains tinged with gold at sunrise greets the eye. The highland pipers and danc- CTS appear and the villagers make merry as twilight falls and the moon rises over the river Doone Finally darkness en- velopes the scene but in less than a twinkling one is transported to England's s shore where a pleasing maritime view completes the next transformation. The sea stretches away to the horizon, ships appear and the voyage is made to Amer ica again. where, at the water front, the superb spectacle of Uncle Sans JaclSies on parade is the first to greet the voy- agers. Naval officers pace to and fro and the sailors hornpipe is introduced
 The scene terminates with a naval battle
 Next comes the weird valley of the spooks. The dismal swamp is shown, frogs croak and all is enveloped in an uncanny blue light. The pumpkin man and his imps appear, vanishing and ap- bearing as though by magic and singing their ghostly song. As they vanish the dismal valley is transformed into a mag nihcent stage picture of the sunny South with tropical foliage, the log cabins of the negroes, the moonlit waters of the river. Songs of the south are heard and the dances of America are seen, forming

musical numbers are rendered by the quartette.
 The company is a large one, and ln- cludes such people as Lawrence Atkln- son, Theodore Rock, Jere Sanford, Joseph King, Harry Hearn. Carrie Lamont Elaine McGregor and Cecelia Griffith, while the well-known character comedian, MT. Fred Wyl1off, will be seen in the title role of Uncle Dan'l MT. Wykoff needs no introduction at this time, as his work as the green countryman in the 'Bussy lazy company when last here is stlll fresh Tn the memory of most theatre goers
 Among the many specialties introduced in Uncle Dan'r' may be mentioned the solo work of Lou Miller MT. Miller is q basso of wonderful depth, and no doubt many remember him for his pleasing work with Ward & Vokes, with whom he has been connected for several sea- sons Tn addition there are many other pleasing specialties by Carrie Lamont, Jere Sanford, Fred Wykoff and the "Rube Quartette."
 As may be imagined. there is unlim- ited scope in the play of the Down East" type for quartette work and many pleasing numbers are introduced
 MatlneesS will be given Tuesday, Thurs day and Saturday.

Edna Mays Triumph.

Edna May continues her rousing triumph in @rhe Catch of the Season. at Daly s theatre, New York. She will begin her third week in this charming musical play tomorrow evening. Crowded houses have been the rule for the first two weeks and the splendid record made at this same theatre by Miss May and "The School Girl last season has already been left far behind. Edna May herself appears to be greater favorite than ever. She has certainly captivated New York by her singing and dancing in the role of the Twentieth Century Cinderella. The songs. Raining" "Buttercup," and Molly O'Halloran," which are only a portion of the numbers she sings, are the big conspicuous hits of the produc- tion. 1.-The Catch of the Season" Is one of the daintiest and most delightful Dalys theatre entertainments that has ever been offered. Besides Miss May there is a large array of international beau ties including English. American and French show girls and all of these are arrayed in the richest and most elabor- ate gowns that ever graced a musical play. The gown exhibition is indeed mar velous and every woman in New York will be anxious to see it. There is plenty of fun provided by the three comedians Farren, Soutar, Fred Kaye and Fred Wright and an abundance of singing and dancing by the numerous other enter tainers

 The great spectacular feature of the show this season is entitled '"rhe Dances of the Nations" Each nation will be de- picted in an extravagant manner and songs typical of the country represented will be sung, accompanied by the nat ional dances. The curtain will rise on a Spanish scene showing an arena pre- pared for bull fight, with a holiday crowd in attendance. A Spanish song and dance introduces the matadors and then a bull fight is realistically portrayed. which Is followed by screamingly funny burlesque on a bull fight
 From Spain the audience is transported to primeval America. An Indian camp is shown in the foreground while in the rear may be seen a beautiful lake with its waters made slvery by the rays of the moon beaming from between fieecy clouds The low croning of the Indians is heard and as 1t increases in volume they creep from the tepees, the chant assuming more volume at every step until 1t bursts Into the war song. The warrior do the war dance and the boisterous song recedes Into the croning chant as they withdraw back into the wigwams and a beautiful Scotch highland scene replaces the Indian

Staging "Woodland."

When the question of stage settings for "Woodland," the musical fantasy was first considered, quite a controversy arose between Frank Pixley and the musical director regarding the proper locale for the piece. Pixley insisted that the Rocky mountains furnished just the atmosphere while the musician, a German, with an inherent love of the fatherland, stubborn ly insisted the Hartz mountains and the Black Forest was the ideal locality
 "Gott in Himmel, Pixley!" said the music master, "tink of the majesty of the Hartz, Please to remember I ask you, that the Black forest is the legiti- mate home of the nightingale, not the Rocky mountains
 Well, that's all right but the Rocky mountains are the legitimate home of the eagle-the proud bird of liberty" re- piled Pixley.
 And so the wrangle went on until Henry w. Savage, the producing man ager. passing the music room, put stop to the contention by summoning his scenic artist, Walter Burridge, to evolve an investiture in keeping with the idyl- lie nature of the composition. Burridge decided to place the scenes in the King dom of Ornithologo, and to this day the director contends 1t has no place on the map. Pixley says he found out where the country Is located, but vows he will never reveal it to the musician. So the director still searches the railroad maps, haunts the information bureaus and asks questions regarding the mythical King dom of Ormithologo In the meanwhile "Woodland" continues to please large audiences in different cities of the coun- try no matter where its locale is laid.

"UncIe Dan"l."

Uncle Damp Cor "A Messenger from Jarvis SectionO is the name of the play which will be seen at the Bijou theatre all next week, with usual matinees It is a rural comedy drama in four acts and six scenes, most of which are laid in a remote section of Maine Like all plays of it's class it seems to have struck the popular fancy, for since it's introduction to the road 1t has been immensely sue cessful. It is scenic production in all the word implies, as everything is car ried complete by the management, even to the smallest detail.
 The story is a simple one and easily followed The first act shows the old homestead at 'Bottomhouse Hills" and Uncle Dan'Ps timely arrival where for the first time he hears of his sister s misfortune. She is about to be dispos- sesesd and her house which has sheltered her and her daughter for so many years is about to be sold. She, however, has a wealthy brother in Boston and Danl volunteers to go in search of him. The second act shows Dan'rs arrival in the great city, and all unsuspecting he drops into Kepples dive. It is here that he meets little Clip" who forms a strong friendship for her new found friend, and homeless waf though she is, she is a friend indeed for it is she who gives Danl the first clue which eventually leads up to the unravellng of the mys- tery which has so long surrounded the unhappy little home which he has just left. From here on Uncle Dan'rs life is rather an adventerous one in the great city, but the big hearted sheriff from Jarvis Section" eventually succeeds in his mission.
 There is beautiful little love story which threads it's way through the mar r1tiNp and if iS fold in n sweet and whole some way. The story is one in which dramatic episodes abound, yet there is plenty of comedy scenes and situations and enough pathos to make one of the most enjoyable performances. Special ties are introduced and many really good

Woman Never Does.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 A loafer on the street, whose wife was probably at home getting out . neighbours washing to make money to buy the children shoes, asked busy man the other day if he ever saw ba,dheaded woman.
 "No, never did" replied the busy man. And I never saw woman waltzing around town in her shirt sleeves with cigar in her teeth and running into every saloon she saw. Neither did I ever see a woman sitting all day at street corner on dry goods box, telling people how the Sec retary of the Treasury should run the national finances. l have never seen a woman go fishing with bottle in her pcclet, sit on the bank Ill day and so home drunk at night. Nor have eyer seen woman yank off her coat aud say she could lick any man in town. God bless 'em, the women are not bui,t that way"

Clyde Fitch,s Secret Revealed.


 The secret is out regarding the story of Clyde Fitchs play, "The Toast of the Town" which he wrote for Viola Allen. MT. Fitch keeps the stories of his plays closely guarded till after production, but enough regarding "The Toast of the Town" has been revealed on which to base a surmise of what it is all about It was only the other day that MT. Fitch said that the story is laid in the time of George the Third; that it relates the story of a famous actress of the time one Betty Singleton-who was "the toast of the town" and who among other things was wed to a royal parsonage. Of course there was no such actress during the time. of George the Third as Betty Singleton; but there was however, a fair creature named Elizabeth Farren who became the Countess of Derby. How much of Miss Farren's career was welded into the play can not, of course, be told; but what is known of Betty Singleton in the play, and of Miss Farren in real life, are as near alike two peas in a pod.
 Miss Farren was an Irish girl, born in Cork, 1759 She first charmed London audiences in TIT appearing at the Hay market as Miss Hardcastle. She was the original Rosna in the Barber of Seville" and charmed all by her playfulness and dignity. She appeared principally at Drury Lane and Haymarket, and chiefly in the parts of fine ladies, for as one writer said: Her beautiful expression, her superbly modulated voice, her clear and refined pronunciation, made her fine lady a perfect charm.'
 Horace Wolpole said she was "the most perfect actress he had ever seen" Charles James Fox was seriously att tached to her; but upon the death of the Countess of Derby, the only daughter of the Duke of Hamilton, she was wed to the Earl of Derby Her farewell to the stage occurred on the Sth of April, 1797.

FRED WYkOFF, Star of "Uncle Dan Who

shine" which will be seen later in the season, that the quaint and fanciful music of this new comedy will be found most pleasing and surprisingly so to American ears It has been done by Silvio Hein, a young genius from Trieste, Austria, who returned to this country after studying music in that city for five years. Hein was born in Trieste and came here with his parents when he was q child. As soon as they were able they sent him back to the fatherland for his musical training and inspiration. When he returned to America he bore a letter from personal frieg1 of MT. Arthur's, who had heard him play his own com position at various concerts. His friends comments on Hein's work cnere strong 1y impressed MT. Arthur in favor of the young man. and he immediately took him up, and maintains now that he has one of the most promising of the. younger school of musical composers. Hein has done a beautiful waltz for "Moonshine." It Is called "F'riendship," and promises to be the strumming accompaniment while the beau and belles glide around the ball room floor.
