THE OBERLE BENEFIT
Event of the Kind Los Ang-
 sles Ever Participated Tn.

As most people know. i'll health has forced Tom Oberle, the idol of theatri- cal circles in Los Angeles. and a for mer resident of this city, to leave the stage again for the coming winter. On the night of the 10th there was given for him a monster benefit performance in the BelacO theater in Los Angeles, to report of which the papers of that city devote much space. It seems to have been the greatest possible kind of a success. The Herald prints the following as an introduction to it's ac- count of the nights proceedings:

The Work of a Year.

The Eighteenth Annual Report of the Interstate Commerce commission shows that 4s7 complaints were filed for consideration and action during the year 1904, although the number of tons of freight carried by the railroads was in the neighborhood of 1900 OOO,- GOO. The commission in it's report states that these cases included both formal and informal complaints, as well as proceedings and investigations instituted on its own motion and two cases submitted to the commission by agreement of the parties for investi- gation and determination of the ques- tions in dispute.
 The number of formal cases and in vestigations intituted during the year was 62. involving directly the rates and practices of 3O2 railroads. Fifty eight hearings have been held in dif- ferent parts of the county. Besides dis posing of a large number of complaints through informal investigation and deciding numerous questions arising in relation to the publication and ob- servance of tariffs, the commission has rendered during the year 27 decisions in reports and opinions upon contested cases or investigations made by the commission on its own motion.

Of all the diseases known, with which women are afflicted, kidney dis ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives.
 Being fully aware of this, Mrs Pink ham, early in her career, gave exhaust i've study to the subject, and in pro ducing her great remedy for woman's ills Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound-was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's s kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in har- mony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles. Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege- table Compound is the only one espe- cially prepared for women, and thou sands have been cured of serious kidney Arrangements by it. Derangements of the feminine organs quickly affect the kidneys, and when a woman has such symptoms as pain or weight in the Joins, backache, bearing down pains, urine too frequent. scanty or high col Ored, producing scalding or burning, or deposits like brick dust in it; un usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet, swelling under the eyes or sharp pains in the back running down the inside of her groin, she may be sure her kid neyS are affected and should lose no time in combating the disease with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, the woman's remedy for wo- mans ills.
 The following letters show how marvelously successful it is.

played by Tom Oberle can compare with the drama of his real life, which yesterday tore the hearts of the big gest audience that ever crowded into the Belasco theater. From 1 o'clock until near seven in the evening the people who could not get seats stood four rows deep in the rear Of the auditorium to watch the perform ance. If the program had heightened itself out until midnight, as it threat ened, they would have continued standing there. waiting patiently to get a glimpse of Tom Oberle, who ap- peared in the last number on the pro- gram.
 It was an ovation worth waiting twice that long to witness. After the tension of five hours of performance without a single intermission, when the curtain finally rose on the scene Tom Oberle in the character of Lutz. the afternoon eliminated in probably the most hysterical scene ever wit messed in a Los Angeles playhouse.
 An almost deafening applause lasted many minutes. The huge audience that a short time before was apparently exhausted by the heat of the long afternoon, shouted the actors name, utterly unconscious of the din they were creating. From the vantage of a proscenium box a party of young women hurled bouquets upon him as he sat assuming sleep on behalf of his "Old Heidelberg character. The flow CTS struck him on the face and body and piled up around him on the floor. When he finally rose to acknowledge his greeting many more armsful of flowers were passed to him across the fOotlights.

Mrs. Samuel Frake, of Prospect Plains, N. J., writes:
 Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
 1 cannot thank you enough for what Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound has done for me When first wrote to you had suf- fered for years with what the doctor called kidney trouble and congestion of the womb. My back ached dreadfully all the time. and suffered so with that bearing-down feeling I could hardly walk across the room. l did not get any better, so decided to stop dOctOring with my physician and take Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound and am thank ful to say it has entirely cured me. l do all my own work, have no more backache and all the bad symptoms have disappeared.
 cannot praise your medicine enough, and would advise all women suffering with kidney trouble to try it.
 Mrs. J. w. Lang, of 626 Third Ave nue, New York, writes:
 Dear Mrs Pinkham:-- I have been great sufferer with kidney trouble. My back ached all the time and I was discouraged. l heard that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound would cnre kidney disease, and began to take it; and it has cured me when every thing else had failed. l have recommended it to lots of people and they all praise it very highly.
 Mrs. Pinkham's Standing In- VitatiOn.
 Women suffering from kidney trouble, or any form of female weak ness are invited to promptly communi- cate with Mrs. Pinlxham at Lynn, Mass. Out of the great volume of ex- perience which she has to draw from, it is more than likely she has the very knowledge that will help your case. Her advice is free and always help ful.

Most of the people in the audience, as well as the actor upon whom they shOwered their attentions, were in tears. Mir. Oberle was overcome and with difficulty spoke a few unneces- sary words of thanks to the audience.
 Probably no such program was ever heard before in Los Angeles at one performance. It brought forth some of the most amusing and also some of the most interesting and ennjoyable things which the season is likely to bring to Los Angeles. Mackenzie Gordon, the noted English tenor. came from afar to assist in the testimonial. and his selections were received with enthusiastic applause and his voice brought a hush over the audience which had during the final numbers of the afternoon turned the occasion into something of a social function.

The Case of Arizona.

Arizona is willing to submit it's case as it now stands to the gentlemen of the congressional party which reached Phoenix last night. These representa- tives are all fair-minded and high minded gentlemen who have come on no ex parte investigation. They do not constitute a congressional committee. They have come on their own motion and will have no report to submit to congress as a body. But there is no doubt that they will make informal reports which will be heard not only with interest but with effect.
 It is true that the object of their coming was to make a study of condi- tions with reference to joint statehood.
 They brought with them neither sympathy nor prejudice. Most of them had voted for joint statehood before the subject was so thoroughly agitat- ed as it afterwaTd became, their votes having been largely influenced by a formal report made by a committee unfriendly to the territories, and es- peciany unfriendly to Arizona.
 Their future course in the struggle of this territory against jointure was to be determined by the conditions which their visit might disclose.
 Expressions of opinions have been secured from nearly all of them after a tour of New Mexico and the southern half of Arizona. As to what they will do when the next joint statehood bill shall be presented some of them are frankly outspoken. Others are diplo- matically reticent, but there is one point on which all are agreed.
 That is that their investigation has convinced them that Arizona is big enough and rich enough to be a sepa- rate state. Their journey through it has been attended by succession of pleasant surprises. Places which were called mining camps. evanescent col lections of people were found to be populous, solidly built towns, with magnificent hotels, large and well se- lected libraries, and abounding in schools, churches and comfortable, even paIatial, homes.
 Where the visitors had expected to find sterile deserts they have found great agricultural development. All things necessary to constitute a state were found, including the most essen tial requirement, a population ready for statehood, requiring no further training, for the predominating ele- ment had come from states. bringing with if the love and habits of law and order poplarly supposed to prevail in a higher degree in the older settled communities. Here were surely suffi- cient reasons why Arizona should be a single state.
 There were discovered many reasons why it should not become a part of a double state, the chief one being the magnificent distances which would be created.
 To one member whose congressional district embraces four counties that reason alone was a sufficient one against jointure. Said he, "The small CT the state, the more beneficent the legislation. A state composed of Ari- zona and New Mexico would necessa- lilly be neglected and badly governed" All this is in substance the testimony now before the visitors. It makes up the case of Arizona, and on it we are ready to go to the jury.

A Cheap Poultry House.

Old lumber left from some other
building, torn from some old decreplt
house or purchased from the Wreck1ng
company, can be made into the best
kind of a house if the poultryman is
willing to go to the necessary WORK
that is required to prepare odd slzed
material and does not possess too
much vanity to be content with
house that appears to have been made
for use rather than for appearance.
The apex house is said to be one OF
the most comfortable from the stand
point of the fowls, can be made very
cheaply, and it affords more floor
space for the material used than any
other house. The attendant, however,
is liable to bump his head against the
sloping rafters many times day. This
house is constructed in the form OF
the letter A, making the wall serve
as roof also. The best height is
eight feet and the width twelve feet.
The length should not be over twelve
feet when made on these dimensions.
The rafters will be ten feet in length,
the sheathing may be made up OF odd
sized material, the ridge of the roof
should run north and south, and there
should be window in the south, east
and west and a door on the north. The
roof may be either shingled or papered
and when prepared on the inside with
tar paper makes surprisingly warm

house, capable of accommodating a
breeding pen or fifteen laying hens.
The economy of the apex house
lies in the fact that it may be built
of odd material and requires so little
lumber for its capacity. A house of
the dimensions given above can be
built for $40, even when the lumber
must be purchased, and the cost is
much less when secondhand material
is used.
Prepared roofing paper for the out
side and tar paper for the inside are

LET stand for a month, at the end OF
which time the sauerlraut will be
ready for use Care must be taken
that the least air possible should enter
the sauerkraut, and also that the cover
be perfectly clean. Each time the
crock has to be opened it must be
properly closed again. These precau-
tions should not be neglected.
This is the recipe for the famous

Kraut.
