SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.

Large Audience Heard Old Folks Con-
 cert at City Mission House.
 The Old Folks concert given We'd nesday evening at the City Mission hall was heartily enjoyed by an audience of nearly 400 in attendance. The ''old peo- ple' were warmly welcomed as they came upon the platform in the costume of the olden time, which it is almost impossible for the modern reporter to describe. The different parts taken were we'll sustained, especially by F. W. HolbroOk as Cousin Jedediah,' Chris topher Perkins as Poor Old Joe" and by George E. Loveday in the solo When George, the Third Was King Mrs. Lucy Loveday was soprano sololst in several selections, and duett, Star of the East,'t was beautifully rendered by the Misses Maud and Minnie Spargo. Others in the chorus were Mrs. John T. McKendrick, Mrs. May Dewey and Miss Grace Collette, with Ellsworth Gesner, John Perkins and Lyman Johnson nee essarily absent through sickness.
 The vocal programme was pleasantly varied by flute solo from Frank ".
 Holbrook, who gave as an encore ''Tlie Last Rose of Summer and recita7 tion, "The New Organ, by Mrs. A. H. Emery, who responded to an encore with a laughable dialect selection, There was hearty applause throughout the evening. with a special call to hear a second time the quartette by MT. Hol- brook, Mrs. Dewey and MT. and Mrs. Loveday. E: Much of the success of the entertain ment is due to the careful preparation of the-chorus by Athlestan Mills, of the Yale Music school, who was also the conductor and accompanist for the eve ming. The whole affair was under the management ofgGeorge E.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Mr. Porter Thought He Should Go Mad
But Or. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Him.

1t seems like miracle that DR.,
Williams Pink Pills should have cured
my neuralgia, said Mr., Porter. "They
are certainly marvellous medicine and
am always glad to recommend them.
"For two years, +" he continued, 81 had
suffered almost uncomfortable painsin my
head. They would start over my ewes
and shoot upward most frequently, but
they often spread over my face, and at
Tunes every part OF my heau ana tare
would be full OF agony. Sometimes the
pains were SO intense that actually
feared they would drive INC mad
My eyes ached constantly ano there
was alwaysa burning sensation over MY
forehead, but the other pains var,e,l,
sometimes they were acute, and again
they Were duh and lingering l cou.,t
not sleep. My temper was irritable and
got no pleasure out of life.
| tried remedy after remedy, but
finding no help i'll any Of them, be-
came despalrlng man. Even when 1
began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills I
had no great hope of a cure.
That was III December of 1908. To
my surprise, change i'll my condition
took place right away. The pains grew
less intense and the acute attacks We're
further apart, as I kept on using DR.. Will
liams Pink Pills. The improvement be-
gan with the first box, and when [ had
used six boxes stopped My cure was
complete aud has lasted ever since"
Mr.. Charles Fl. Porter lives at Ray
mond, NH. He is one of many grateful
people who have found that Dr. Williams
Pink Pills will cure diseases of the nerves
that have stubbormly resisted every other
remedy tried. Not only neuralgia, but

WILL CLEAN OUT TENDERLoIN.
Reform Movement at Yankton Being
Prosecuted With Viuor

Yankton, in common with some
neighboring towns, appears to be eX-
periencing real reform movement
Gambling places, long unmolested, are
being raided, and Joe Cotter of the
George Neefe saloon and Charles
Jones of the Pierce will answer to the
charge of having and exhibiting gam
bling devices.
Nor is this all, for determined eff
fort is now going quietly forward by
which the tenderloin district of the
city, which for thirty years has been
undisturbed on Second and First
streets, within a block of the main
thoroughfare, will soon have to move.
Men OF means, many pIorii iri s1s $ ' 5;S !:
ness men amongst them, have associ-
ated together for the purpose of buy
ing up the prescribed district and OPP
tons are now being secured upon the
property which extends for two blocks
along the river front. One citizen, who
holds some lots worth $4,000 in this
district, has offered to deed the same
to the city, the only conditions at
tached being the cleaning up of the
district and keeping it clean. The plan
is to clear the two blocks or more Of
residences and turn the space thus
gained into a city park. The matter
has proceeded so far as to begin to
look like realization.

AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
o.eszeslcus Re!ormers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.

o.e.zeslcus Retormers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.
Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
parties. Every now and then some
jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for 8 law to require
every package of proprietary medi-
cine to be labeled with printed
statement of the formula showing
just how it is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem to be satisfied; but
the man with mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who has
some personal interest to serve is
the one who agitates the proposition.
To a person who has never taken
time to consider it. such proposition
may seem reasonable enough; yet 1T
is in fact nothing more nor less than
a scheme to compel the manufactur-
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy of every
commercial pirate who might choose
to flood the market with limitations of
their goods.
"Under such conditions the incen-
tive for the original manufacturer to
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly to
the benefit of the pirates and imita-
tors. Without advertising, the public
would receive little information in
regard to the medicine, and all future
sales would be greatly impaired If
not wholly destroyed. 1t is mainly by
judicious advertising that the knowl
edge of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions of peo
pie have found relief at compare
lively small expense by the use OF
some remedy first called to theil
notice through newspaper advertising
Why. then, should the manufacturer
of meritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as condition o.
being allowed to carry it on? Yet
that is exactly what these formuls
bills mean.-EXchange
