The Musical Comedy, 1.-THE Umpire"
Possibly the most important of the
musical comedy attractions that will
visit the Illinois next season is Harry
Askins production of 1.-The Umpire -
whose marvellous run of 315 perform
ances in Chicago has broken all rec
ords in that city of musical comedy
successes. The play is by Messrs.
Hough and Adams as to book and Jo-
seph E. Howard as to score The
story's plot is of strong melodramatic
interest and its action transpires in
Morocco, an ideal locale for the scenic
artist and costumer Concerning the
music little needs to be said, for the
score of hits it contains have been
played and encored in every place
where there is band. The cast is one
of the most competent that ever inter
preted a musical comedy, and is head
ed by Fred Mace, the comedian who
for the past several seasons has led
the fun makers in "Piff. Paff. Pouff. -
Julian Mitchell has selected and train
ed the chorus. which is a veritable gar
den of feminine beauty.

of the probable brewery merger, is the
movement on foot for the organization
of brewery company here. Alder
man William Matthes is one of the
men mentioned as prominent in the

of about 100000 capital is proposed,
it is understood Louis Wiese. Carl

ed as associated with Mr.. Matthes in
the new enterprise
Took Stolen Junk.-Detective James
Connolly yesterday arrested Ed Cook
who is now at the station. A charge of
larceny will be brought against him.
About three nights ago Officer Connel-
ly found 40 pounds of junk, such as old
iron and brass pipe fittings, buried in
the alley back of the tin can factory.
He has been watching it since that
time, awaiting the time when the thief
should come for his plumber Yester-
day Cook came and started to take the
stuff, when the officer arrested him. 1t

before the necessity of providing addi-
tional accommodation to meet the de-
mand is apparent, for during practi-
cally all of the time since it was open

ity is that at the annual meeting action
will be taken favorable to the erection
of a fifth story to the present building.

POWER OF THE IMAGINATION.
Many Suffer from MaIadies Which E~
list Only in Their Minds.

Medical papers have just been tell
ing us of still more wonderful cures
of non-existent maladies. Burke al
ways fancied that he had something
in his throat, and was held by some
to have shortened his days by the
drastic treatment to which he sub
mitted himself for his imaginary Cd
struction.
What wonder, then, that traveller
in Abyssinia, seeing one Of his native
porters bitten by serpent, should
find the man writhing in agony and
with every symptom of snake poison
ing? The man must have his way,
he really appeared poisoned. With
Spartan courage he hacked off his
hand with a knife, and though he
lacked antiseptics, straightway recov
cred.
When the caravan came across
doctor the hero showed to the
latter his mutilated stump and the
serpent which had bitten him. Inc
doctor applauded the courage and wis
dom of the man, but contided to the
latter's master that the mutilation
need not have been undergraduate
snake was harmless. Imagination had
made the native believe himself al
most poisoned unto death.

ENcLAND's REDUCED WINE BILL.
Big Restaurant Company Finds Tea
ls Hurting It's Profits.

The remarkable extent to which tea
is taking the place of wine in Eng
land was indicated at the lamentful
annual meeting Of a great London
company, Spiers & Pond, limited,
which operates stores, hotels, restau'
rants, places of amusement, etc.
The bad showing for the year was
explained by the steady falling on in
the consumption of alcoholic drinks.
In 20 years, while the population OF
the country has increased by 10000
600, the consumption of wine and spir-
its has fallen off by $55,OOO,OOO, and
the consumption Of beer in proper
ton.
At one restaurant in single even
ing only single bottle of champagne
was ordered, while a few years ago
Is or 80 would have been required.
The golden stream Of profits, It was
lugubriously said, now flows from the
teapot rather than the wine bottle.
The railway restaurants have special
ly suffered.

There are at least two millions OF

a great deal of this cotton will never be
gathered, and should there come wind
and rain exceeding over the cotton

Under the most favorable weather
conditions there isn't sufficient avail

Your Eyes.

THE PROPER CORRECTION OF WHICH
is NOT A MERCANTILE. BUT A PRO-
FEssIONAL PROPOSITION.
Most invariably people who have,
for many years, been having trouble
to procure glasses suitable to their
eyes have been labCring under the i'm
preston that the principle value Of a
pair OF eye glasses or SpectacleS was in
the quality OF the material used in
their construction. They do not stop
to consider that the only true value
that can be placed on a pair of glasses
is on the perfect and accurate correc.
tien OF each and every defect existing
in each eye, not only in the reStcra-
ton or vision, but i'm overcoming all
troubles caused by structural defects,
such as pains in the back of the head,
extending down the neck into the
shoulders or spine, nervousness, diZzi-
ness, sick stomach, a Smartirg, burn
ing sensation. with shooting pains in
the eye balls, and a drOwsy sensation
while reading or doing close work.
But few people at first thought seem
to appreciate the fact that to obtain
these results requires the services of a
Thoroughly competent and experienced
EYESIGHT SPECIALIST AND OPTICIAN.
One place in Grenada worthy of
your investigation is that of DR.. p.
kornblum, where satisfactory correc-
tiOnS are assured. The methods en-
plOyed by him are remarkable and in
a great many cases he has made cor
rectionS that seemed almost impOS-
Sible. His book contains the names

Clarion, May 17.--Gov. A. B. Cum
Minis was here Tuesday afternoon, and
in the evening gave the people of this
section an interesting talk at the opera
house. A good attendance greeted
him, the opera house being completely
filled, with some having to stand. Sen
ator Berry, of Indianola, opened the
meeting with a speech of an hours
length and was listened to with close
attention, and then the governor was
introduced by c. M. Maggie in a neat
speech. The governor was suffering
from throat trouble and it was difficult
for him to speak at all. He was lib
orally applaudcd. The main street was
decorated with bunting and flags Of all
sizes in his honor. He has strong
hold upon the affections of the people
OF Wright county. Wright county will
be found In line for him at the conven-
ton
