"A CHARMING PRODUCTION. "
This is the Verdict Of All Who Have Seen
"The Mummy and The IInmmnghird.o


THE Mummy and The Hummmgbird.
To many theatregoers who are not
familiar with this great comedy, which
is to be presented at Memorial Hall on
Monday, May 14th, the title may not
convey an adequate idea of the nature
of the piece. "Fhe Mummy" is the
sobriqnet bestowed by his friends upon
the leading character, husband who
is so deeply engrossed in his scientific
investg cations that he is more or less
Oblivious to the ordinary affairs of ev.
ery-day life. The "Hummlugbird" is
en- Italian nobleman who is eventually
found by the husband to be paying too
ardent attention to the latter's wife,
and who puts his wits against those of
the Mummy" in an attempt to sup.
plant him in the affections of the wife.
The plot, its treatment, the chara eters
involved, and indeed the entire play,
is described as unique, forceful, and
deeply engrossing in the interest il
excites, and as presented this season il
more than duplicating the success that
has marked the three years Of its bril-
liant career.

Get
Emulsion

When you GO to a drug store
and ask for SCOTS Emulsion
you know what you want; the
man knows you ought to have
It. Don't be surprised, though,
It you are offered something
else. Wines, cordiaIs, extracts,
etc., OF cod liver oil are plentls
fuI but don't imagine you are
getting cod liver oil whom you
take them. Every year for thirty
years we've been increasing
the sales of SCOTS Emulsion.
Why7 Because It has always
been better than any substitute
for It.

The chairman of the executive COM
mittee arbitrarily changed the commit
tee in fifteen of the eighteen districts
in the county within few weeks of the
convention. In every instance where
additional names were added they we're
Cox men. He changed the district
chairmen in ten districts, removing
Patterson men in every instance. The
other eight districts had Cox chairmen,
except in the 18th and 18th, and the
Cox people claimed the 18th. OF course
the conventions held in the ten districts
where chairmen had been thus appoint
ed were not regular and the delegations
could not properly participate in the
county convention. Eliminating these
districts, we find that only districts
Nos. 2, 3, 8, 8, TO-, IL, 10, IS and II
properly held conventions, and that
Patterson had twenty delegates and
Cox twelve. As proof that the CON
ventions should have been held by the
chairmen, if proof is needed, Mr.. Will
lett notified every NEW chairman he
appointed that it was his duty to hold
the convention and he did so. Mr..
Patterson lost the 4th and 18th districts
because the newly-appointed chairmsn
held the conventions.

. In the district conventions last Sat-
urday Patterson ran away with the
popular vote. In ten districts, the 9th,
sth, 9th, 10th, 18th, 18th, 18th, 10Th,
10th and 18th, he received 1856 votes to
172 for Cox. Less than $50 voters were
present at the convention in the re-
naming districts and were pretty even
ly divided.

AN AUTO ENTHUSIAST

Other nations will contribute to the
crowd in attendance upon the big auto

small opportunity to become acquainted
with the local autoists, but in Great
Britain and Ireland he is we'll known to
all those who indulge in the modern
sport Of kings.
Both Coram and his wife were among
the first ones to adopt the motorcycle
fad. Coram has ridden nearly every

run from Glasgow to Chatham on a

BURLESQUE Is BRIGHT
Dewey Bill for the Week Is Full Of
Laughs

A bright, clean burlesque show with
scented at the Dewey theater this week
by the Reilly & Woods company.
The burlesque is entitled, "a
Night in Atlantic City, and altho lit
tie attempt has been made to carry out
a plot the comedy is the better for it.
The piece is written by Billy Williams,
whose musical specialties are always
unique and catchy. Williams has writ
ten several new songs especially for
this show, and he sings them in his own
laughable way. :.
The chief comedy roles are taken by
Pat Reilly and Winnie Henshaw, both
Of whom are well suited for this kind Of
work. Their work is full of snap, and
they can always be relied on for some
good stunt that is not called for in the
lines. The music is good and the over
worked songs are replaced by new ones
that have not been heard here before.
The chorus is wei chosen and the sue
cess Of many Of the special features is
due to it's careful work. .
The Berg girls from Germany open
the olio with clever number, which is
a mixture of little of everything. The
girls are unusually versatile and handle
the act cleverly. Dalyhas new bad man
stunt that takes well, and Coveny and
Cunningham have a short comedy turn
that is up to date. Henshaw and Fran
cioli have the same act they gave last
year, but it loses nothing by the repe-
tition, and still brings the laughs. The
speciality bill closes with series Of
moving pictures.

It is firmly believed by troops at

of the first regiments to go to the
island. A cause for this belief is the
fact that Companies M and L Of the
regiment, which have been stationed at
Fort Lincoln, N. D., have been ordered
on their return in a few days from
their southern camp, to proceed at once
to Fort Smelling and join their regi-
ment. The regiment will then have its
complement of men and be ready for
marching orders. z.'
