aThe Teuderfoot..

When a musical comedy has been on the road more than one year, 1t is the custom of managers to provide these musical comedies with companies to say the least mediocre.
 It has been the misfortune of Oscar Figman, whenever he has appeared in Montgomery to be the star of one of these old productions and his support has not been the best.
 Montgomery has always admired Fig man. Montgomery liked his Hans Nix, although the production of "The Tele- phone Girl" was poor. Montgomery liked his Peter Stuyvesant, although '"The Burgomaster" was not so good. It was, therefore, a source of genuine pleasure for Montgomery to see Fig man as Professor Pettibone with a company equally as capable as "The Tenderfoot" company which supported Richard Carie last year.
 w. P. Cullen, who has put out this attraction, is to be congratulated. He has a comedian who is, in the opinion of many. just as finished in the part of Pettibone as Carle, who wrote the part for himself, and a supporting com pany that can act and was perhaps the best singing musical comedy organiza- tion heard in Montgomery this season. Then, too, '"rhe Tenderfoot" has so much on the average musical comedy in point of coherence, genuine comedy. and 1t has musical numbers that rank in tunefulness with the work Of the really great Gustav Luders.
 A fine audience saw Mir. Fignhan and his company and gave them generous applause. Figman made the most of the quiet wit of the comic pedagogue. His facial expression, his makeup, the use of his legs and arms, everything was in tie best taste and gave a con- vincing portrayal of the finely drawn part.
 Ruth White, who played Marion, the heiress, was winsome to look upon, was a fair actress and had an unusual amount of melody in her rather low but highly cultivated soprano voice. Her love song backed by the splendid male chorus was especially effective.
 Few better tenor voices have been heard on Montgomery stage than the singing voice of Jethro Warner, who played the part of Colonel Winthrop. His every number was 8 source of in- tense enjoyment. His range was won derful and some of the most pleasing features of the performance was his of "A Soldier of Fortune" "Adois," and the march song in the finale of the second act.
 A. B. Williams played the Chinaman we'll and his dance with Etta Lockhart. the clever slavey was highly enjoyed and beautifully executed.
 The soldiers four, Fred Bailey, J. r. Rooney. M H. Baldwin and H. s. Burns, all did well with their character parts, although Bailey with his magnetism" was a trifie too exuberant.
 The chorus work was great. Both the male and female sections sang well and worked with an essence of pepper that was noticeable. The voice of A. w. Hutchins, chorus man. was of great power. and swelled like an organ. It was always noticeable in the ensem- bles.
 The scenic effects and costumes were excellent, and Montgomery will put the name of Cullen down on its list of good ones. He has given us production of "The Tenderfoot" that will be remem- bered as one of the musical events of the season.

OvERSTREET ANGRY
NOT ALLOWED TO NAME SURVEYOR
 AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Beyerldge's Friend Got the Job, and the Representative Says He VIII Not Service On Republican COm-
 mittee. U

Washington, Jan. 10.--Representative Oyerstreet, Qnd.) secretary of the Re- publican Congressional Campaign Com mittee announced today that the Presidents failure to allow him to nan.e the surveyor of the port at Indianapolis has discouraged him so badly he will not again serve on the committee. MT. Overstreet is now the secretary of the Republican Congressional Commtt- tee and has been for several years. It is understood President Roosevelt wrote a letter to Mir. Overstreet say ing he had promised Senator Beveridge more than a year ago to appoint MT. Rothschild and did not feel that he could recede from that promise.
 When asked if he will resign from the committee, Mir. Overstreet said:
 NO I shall not resign. But I shall not accept reelection 10 the committee. What is the use? I'm not doing this Tor spite. but I had only one appointment and when that's taken away there's nothing left for me-
 The nresent conversational campaign committee term will expire in short time and the various states will elect members of the committee to look af- fer the next elections next fall. Mr. Oyerstreet has been a member for ten years. -, ,. OVGfStreeL lOudgG AG 0AoNASSNS ~-NN ire of President Roosevelt to appoint Frank D. stalnaker. the overstreet candidate for the Indianapolis surveyor ship, and the appointment of L. G. Rothschild, Senator Beveridges candi-' date. The statement says the survey orshiu has always been regarded as the patronage of the Indianapolis represen-- tatives.
 MT. oyerstreet says Senator Bever- idge has more than his share of general offces in Indianapolis. and gives a list of the Beveridge appointees.
 After stating emphatically that he feels he has been badly treated by the President, MT overstreet concludes his statement with the declaration that he has no personal feeling in the matter and will let the incident close with his statement. He says he will devote hls attention to the interests of his district rather than to personal appointments which would air him individually.

HEPBURN BILL FAVORED.
Esch aud Townsend Agree to Support
 the Measure.

E<scA AuU A0Wu8e00 agree 10 SuppOFf
 the Measure.
 Washington, Jan. l0.--The Republi- can members of the House. Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, at conference which lasted three hours this afternoon, agreed to support the Hepburn, Railroad rate bill with a few notifications. which were agreed upon and which relate chiefly to court procedure.
 These notifications were taken from the provisions of the Esch- Townsend bill and are in the nature of a com9 promise with the supporters of that measure. The committee will report the bill to the House next Friday Rep recentative Townsend of Michigan, au- thor of the Townsend bill, which was consolidated with the Esch bill and passed at the last session. 1t Is an- nounced, will make the opening speech in the House in favor of the Hepburn bill.
 It Is planned to bring in a rule on the Hepburn bill when it Is considered so as to prevent amendments except on the first day of debate. The Demo- crats, however. are to be permitted to offer substitute on which they, can go on record.
 This course, 1t is pointed out, is the same as was followed with the Esch- Townsend bill when the Democrats sub mitted the Davey bill The Republican members of the committee expressed the opinion that the debate in the House probably will not continue over a week.

 ---Other Alabama Appointments Sent to the Senate By Roose-


 Washington, Jan. l0.--tSpeciaL)-- The President sent to the Senate to- day the nomination of Prelate D. Bark CT, to be postmaster at Mobile. He was endorsed by Referees Scott and Thompson. Ex-congressman Aldrich and Frank Conway, clerk in the office of the collector of the Port of Mobile, as wired The Advertiser last night, came here to protest against MT. Bark CTS appointment.
 The President also nominated today the following postmasters for Alabama. but 1t is understood they had no op- position worth mentioning so far as the deuhrtment officials viewed the cases: B. S. Perdue. Greenville;N Will fam c. Starke. at Troy; Walter T. Stew art. at SyIacauga. M
 The House Ways and Means Commit tee today authorized Chairman Payne to favorably report the bill directing the Secretary of the Treasury to re- adjust the ports of entry of the United States. MT, Underwood of Alabama, who is a member of the committee. says the object of the measure is to consoli- date many of the smaller officSs with the larger ones. At present many ports pay the collectors f,om $500 to $1,00o a year in salary. and the collections are nominal
 The House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee will tomorrow morning have a hearing on the bill of MT. LittIefield of Maine entitled ito remove discrimination against Ameri- can sailing vessels in the coasting trade"
 The m assure Is being bitterly oppos- ed by the various pilot associations. Captain O'Brien of Pensacola has been here for two weeks or more in the in- terest of the Associations along the coast from Pensacola south and there are representatives on the scene also from other sections.
 The pilots claim that the Littiefield bill, if it becomes a law, will reduce their incomes to such low point that their business will hardly be worth fol- lowing. They claim also that naviga- tion will suffer greatly in the long run if the present regulations are abolish ed
 Congressman wachter of Maryland. is a member of the committee consider ing the bill. There has been a great deal of friction over pilot charges for sailing vessels carrying coal from Bal timore to Southern ports where 1t comes in competition with Alabama coal, and MT. Wachter says that be- fore he makes up his mind as to the Littlefield bill he will look into the charges to determine how far they af- feet the vessels that leave Maryland ports.

 Taft Recommends License For CaIf-
 fprnia Company.
 Washington. Jan. t0.-Secretary Taft ,has recommended to the President that he sanction the issue of revocable license to the Union Central oil Com pany of California to construct and maintain a pipe line across the canal zone.
 There were six applicants for such a right. but the company named is the only one which specified the price of oil if used by the government and whose offer was otherwise suffi- ciently definite and reasonable. It is, however. expressly provided government and'whose offer was other wise sufficiently definite and reasona- ble. It is. however, expressly provides ] that the license shall not be exclusive so that other companies may hereafter compete for the business. For it's part the company undertakes to pay $500 per month to be applied to school pur- poses in the canal zone and also per- init the government to draw upon its pipe line at any point for oil at ninety cents per barrel,
 Secretary Taft in his letter to the President explains that this is about equivalent for fuel purposes to Poco- hohtdS Codi dt tHc present cost on tne isthmus of s4 per ton. so that the oil may be used for all purposes if de- sired in the construction of the canal. As only refined oil is at present carried over the Panama Railroad. the Secreta- " does not fear that the transportation of crude oil by pipe would injure the business of the railroad.
 The company undertakes to complete the line by August 10 next and to build In American shipyards suitable tank steamers to supply, In addition to its present large fleet, the necessary means of conveying the oil to the pipe.

InsidiOus Nature of the DIsease--HOw
 to Recognize and Cure It.
 Ulcer of the stomach may exist for years without very marked symptoms, excepting those caused by indigestion. It is due to an inflammation which af- fects the membrane of the stomach so that it is eaten away by the gastric juices.
 In good health. the stomach resists the action of the gastric juices. but when weakened, the membrane is badly nourished and the digestive fluids act upon it as well as upon the food, keep ing up until perforation of the stom- act occurs. Tn advanced cases of ulcer of the stomach there is much discomfort after eating, with a constant gnawing sensation between meals. pain from the pit of the stomach back to the shoulder blade.
 At the first symptoms of Indigestion, treatment should at once be started with Mi-o-na. This is a scientific rem edy adapted specifically to one pur- pose, the cure of stomach troubles. It is so uniformly successful that Fowler gives a signed guarantee with every 5O-cent box that the money will be re- funded if 1t does not cure.
 MI-o-na is not patent or secret rem edy but is a combination of the purest and most reliable of remedies TOT strengthening the digestive organs and building up the whole system use It for n few days and there is no reason why you should not be able to eat any food you like at any time without fear of distress.

INoIPIENT CONSUMPTION.
How Food Headed on the Insidlous
 Disease.

The happy wife of good old-fash- toned Michigan farmer says:
 Tn the spring of 1909. I was taken sick--a general breaking down, as it were. I was excessively nervous. could not sleep well at night, my food seemed to do me no good, and was so weak l could scarcely walk across the room.
 The doctor said my condition was due to overwork and close confine- ment and that he very much feared that consumption would set in. For several months took one kind of medicine after another but with no good effest-in fact. seemed to grow worse.
 Then determined to quit all rnedi- cines. give up coffee and sec what Grape-Nuts food would do for me. I began to eat Grape-Nuts with sugar and cream and bread and butter three times q day.
 The effect was surprislngl I began to gain flesh and strength forthwith. my nerves uuieted down and grew nor mally steady and sound, sweet sleep came back to me.

 Then" said Mr. spooner. "it is oh- jectionable."
 penalty provision in the bill had been so amended as to provide that deal- CTS in imported articles covered by the bill shall not he punished unless they purchase the goods knowing them to be adulterated. Mi. Spooner replied that the change effects "a great im- provement."

 At ? o'clock Mir. Gellinger asked for the reading Of the Merchant Marine shipping bill. but Mfr. Morgan suggest ed that the bill had been displaced by the Senate in secret session yesterday. when 1t made the Bacon Morocco reso- lution the regular order He said it was the duty of the Senators to put the business of the Senate in its proper parliamentary shape.
 The chair held that after failing to secure action yesterday. the resolu- ton had gone to the calendar and could not again be taken up except on q vcta or with unanimous consent.
 The reading of the shipping bill then proceeded. While the Moroccan reso- lutlon was under consideration it was not referred to by name, Mir Morgan spoke of it as "A certainA proposition and the Vice-President mentioned 1t as "the measure referred to-"
 The consideration of the calendar was then resumed and the following bills were passed: Authorizing tho Fort Smith and Van Buren Bridge Company to construct a bridge across the Arkansas river at Van Bursn, Ark; authorizing the Mobile Railway Com pany to construct n bridge across the water between Cedar Point and Dau- phin Island. Also a number of privte pension bills.

As 1t Is understood that all of the cases yet to be tried will contain charge and specification relative to "encour- aging or countenancing hazing the decision upon this point Is considered important.
 The first witness on the stand after recess was Midshipman Church o' Meadville. Pa. whose alleged hazinE was the basis of a specification in De- .catur's former trial and also of the only specification under the charge lodged in pursuance of the act of 1908
