note to the success of that quaint COM

will be presented at the Illinois thea
ter on Sunday evening George AIDE.
the writer of this comedy is credited
with exceeding his previous efforts in
humorous writings and The County
Chairman reflects life in the middle
west in the early SOS in graphic way.
The types drawn by the humorist are
said TO be the most laughable on the
contemporary stage. The plot deals
in a very natural manner with a poll
teal campaign in jefferson county. liz
diana, and the stirring scenes in the
county seat. a small village, where the
hero, Tiilford Wheeler. is nominated
for prosecuting attorney. against Elias
Rigby. Wheeler's prospective father-in-
law, are pictured in all naturalness.
Theodore Babcock who plays the role
of the Hon. Jim Hacker. the county
chairman. is said 10 give a rugged and
remarkably true to life portrayal. He
is aided by score or more village
characters drawn in the inimitablC
AIDE style and without that touch of
exaggeration so often found in rural
plays.
Mildred RoIand.-MiIdred Holland
has often been referred to as one of
the best American emotional actres-
ses. but since she has made her phe-
nomenal success as Catherine the
Great in The Triumph of an Empress
she is also styled the queen of comedy.

hundreds of others in this city. When
there are scores of people, all anxious to
tell about the benefits received from the
use of Doan's Kidney Pills, the greatest
skeptic in Ellsworth must be convinced.
Read the following:
Arthur L. Frazier, employed in the
Union Shoe Factory, Ellsworth, Me-, says:
s'For some little time last fall I. had been
annoyed with severe pain in my back.
paid little attention to it.atIfrst, think
ing it would disappe ar of itself, but instead
of getting better the pain grew worse.
My back felt at times as if it was broken
in two. When 1 sat in a chair at night
after days work the pain was so severe
that could not sit still and had to keep
changing my position. The trouble was
at its height when began taking Doan's
Kidney Pills, which wereprocured for me
at E. G. Moore's drug store. / had only
taken few doses when felt relief, and a
continuation Of their use cured me, since

Print All the News,

An exchange has this to say about print
ing all the news:
"a man stopped us on the street the
other day and said we did not published
all the news. We should say not. In the
first place, there's somebody else depend
ing ON us for living. II we published all
that happened We would be with the
angels.
SIN order to please the people we must
print only the nice things said of them
and leave the rest to gossip. Yes, it's a
fact, we don't print all the news. II we
did, wouldn't it be spicy reading? But it
would be for one week only. The next
week you would read our obituary, and
then there would be a new face in heaven.
All the news is all right when it is about
the other fellow"

Chas. WaterhOUse, superintendent of the Tempe canal. spent Thursday night at the head of the canal in an ticipation of another rise in the river. He was not disappointed, for the stream began coming up about dark and kept it up until about o'clock yesterday morning when it reached its highest point. Then it lacked about q foot of being as high as it was a week ago tomorrow. It is now cutting the banks very badly, MT. WaterhOuse says, and he could hear it all night. The channel at the head of the canal has changed entirely and though no damage as yet has been done to the dam the Indians on the Maricopa reservation have suffered considerably. That night about ten acres of good land were cut away and on the other side of the river it cut out a piece Of about three acres off Q first class ranch. The many rises have softened up the land on both sides and this last one is of about the right height to do damage. It had fallen a great deal, yesterday, however, and was down to where it stood the day before.
 The pile driver ct the bridge here was expected to be put to work again yesterday morning but on account of fear of more high water they did not put 1t in the river bed the day before and well they did not for they would have been obliged to move it out again. They will not start again now until Monday.

TWO NEW BOYS.

There were two new arrivals on the south side yesterday morning at about the same time and both were boys. The Spainhower family is the home of one of them and though this is not the first occurrence of the kind in that household MT. SpainhoUer wore a smile yesterday that would give one the impression that that was the first addition to his family. The young man is not the regulation size and weight, however-he is larger.
 Feb Pierce is the father of the other young gentleman and he really is the first to visit their home. MT. Pierce is a graduate of the normal school and Mrs. Pierce, formerly Miss Rachel Lee brick, was also a student there until her marriage. Probably in the course of a few years Mir. Pierce jr. will also attend the institution.

TEMPE
A FIsTIc ENCOUNTER.

Two parties, residents of this place, and of more or less prominence here, indulged in a lively fistic encounter on Main street early Thursday evening. The affair started through a joke, but ended rather seriously for one at least and his face was sight to behold yes terday morning. Both appeared before Justice Nelson yesterday morning and pleaded guilty. One was fined $5 the other a trif1e less, but both were given a severe talk as to the propriety of fighting on the street and were dis missed with a promise of a greater fine ia case the onense occurred again.
