ORPHEUM AGAIN
PRESENTS MOST
EXCELLENT BILL

Abd'el Kader and his three wives are
the sensation of the bill at the Orpheum
this week. Abd'el and his harem are
mpressonistic artists of great ability
and their ability is transmitted to paper
before the eyes of the audience in just
about the time it takes to writ 1t. IL
cannot be truthfully said of Abd'el and
family that father is the only one In
clined toward labor. for the wives do
stunts that are we'll nigh as mar
velous as those of the head of the flock.
In about five minutes Abd'el kader
succeeds in placing before the audience
a picture of a Swiss chalet with ducks
and chickens and all the other para
phernalia of the ideal farm existence.
A lake with boat upon it looms up in
the foreground. while in the rear por-
ton of the scene are mountains rearing
their multi-colored heads, covered with
snow and underbrush.
one of the wives makes a picture IF
an Indian, which was rainboWesque To
the extreme. While the lord and mas
ter does his stunts in the middle dis
tanCe, the other two frauS labor and
produce a Dutch poster a little to the
right. In the poster two distinctly
German dogs are shown and a fat
Deutsch child weeps realistically.
The monologue of Alf Grant really
deserves brackets. 1t is one of the
snappiest things of the sort that have
been heard at the Orpheum. Grant is
assisted by Ethel Hoag, who does notn-
ing much but give the main one a
chance to talk. This he does. A con-
Staut stream of conversation flows
from the lips of Grant from his first
appearance until he bows for the last
time as he recedes from the stage. The
first part of the rapid fire gust of merry
gags went rather badly last evening,
but when the audience woke up to the
fact that there was a laugh in every
sentence, the laughs were forthcoming,
Sanders burlesque circus was not so
good as that which preceded it few
weeks ago. The dogs were well trained
enough. but the act lacked animation
and was not noteworthy. The World $
Comedy Four was the other new act.

We're not.

Francis, who is the company mentioned
in the program, showed excellent work
in the tiny part assigned TO her. From
I he excellent manner in which she
played the tickle girl, who really loves
newspaper man, one would be led to
believe that she would do as we'll in a
better part. The best situations are
absorbed by Keogh and only in the

girl get a chance.
The best motion pictures which have
been seen for a long while conclude

BARGAINS IN

A woman once wrote US
that she was not going to
buy SCOTS Emulsion any
more because it cost too
much. Said she could get
some other emulsion for less
money. Penny wise and
pound foolish. SCOTS Emul-
sion costs more because it is
worth more-costs more to
make. We could make
SCOTS Emulsion cost less by
using less oil. Could take
less care in making it, too.
If we did, however, Scott's
Emulsion wouldn't be the

milk WHITE FLAG"
Is VEHICLE FOR
MUCH ENJOYMENT

Everything imaginable in the amuse-
ment line is in "A Milk White Flag"
While the trials of an organization
that is military because the members
want to wear uniforms are being
demonstrated, an excuse is given for
all sorts of stunts. Fragments of I'll
Trovatore," Carmen" and others as
well known are jumbled together
higgledy piggledy and the result is cer-
tainly funny.
Robert G. Pitkin is especially good
as is William Herman West. Miss
Nichols also is satisfactory. Frank
Blair, the stage manager of the Hotch-
kiss, is to be seen as Ned de Risque,
and sings the toreador's song from
Carmen" very well. Built on broadly
burlesque line, the fun of "a Milk
White Flag" is not subtle and the
points of the jokes are blunt enough to
pierce the understanding of the lowest
forehead.

anything the Olympia company has

Miss Lawton's Mary Tudor
was long ago pronounced
one of the best performances
ever seen on a Los Angeles
stage, but last night she
earned a reputation for pure
American grit which will go
hand in hand with her fame
as an actress.
With a sprained ankle
causing terrible pain she
went through one of the most
active parts in any produc-

who had not seen her before
there was not the slightest
intimation that anything was
wrong with her.
Yesterday afternoon Miss
Lawton sprained her ankle
and for a few minutes there
was CONSERVATION in the
company. The sprain was a
bad one and the management
feared she would not be able
to go on.
No such fear entered Miss
Lawton's mind. "Of course
l will play, ankle or no an
kle," she declared, and she
did.
Mary Tudor does every
thing that requires two
sound feet. She stamps UP
and down the stage, she
dances and she even fights,
and Miss Lawton did not
admit any of it. During the

A HIGH SCHOOL ROW.
The Trouble at Leavenworth Getting
TO Be Town Row.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 24.-The
Leavenworth high school faculty
squabble is gradually assuming the ma
ture of a town row and an effort is
being made by the business men to
assist the board of education to restore
harmony without hurting too many
feelings. The principals in the trouble
are Professor Evans. principal of the
high school. and Professor kendrick,
superintendent of schools. The whole
trouble is over clash of authority
over some comparatively trivial school
matters. Public sentiment is So strong
in favor of Evans that the members of
the board say this alone prevents them
from dismissing him.
President Tarry of the school board,
who has been in charge of the disci-
pine at the high school, appointed
Professor W. H. Andrews over Evans.
Evans has been a teacher and prin-
cipal of the school for twenty-eight
years About 800 graduates Of the
high school will meet tonight to per
feet an alumni association and ssOme
action will be taken on the high
school affair. Professor Kendrick took
charge of the schools about four years
ago The row promises to figure in the
spring election when eight of the
twelve members of the school board
will come up for reelection.

WHAT 1T MEANS TO YOU.
Few People Realize the Importance of
Good Digestion Until 1t Is Lost.

Many people suffer from dyspepsia
and do not know it. They feel mean,
out of sorts, peevish, do not sleep well,
do not have good keen appetite, do
not have the inclination and energy
for physical or mental work thew once
had, but at the same time do not feel
any particular pain or distress in the
stomach. Yet all this is the result of
poor digestion an insidious form of
Dyspepsia which can only be cured by
a remedy specially intended to cure it
and make the digestive organs act nat
urally. and properly digest the food
eaten. Bitters, after dinner pills and
nerve tonics viii never help the trou-
bic; they don't reach it. The new
medical discovery does. 1t is called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and is d
specific for DYSPEPSIA and Indigestion.
1t cures because it thoroughly digests
all wholesome food taken into the
stomach. whether the stomach is in
good working order or not
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by di-
costing the food. instead of making
the worn out stomach do all the work,
gives it a much needed rest and a cure
of dyspepsia is the natural result.
When YOU are nervous, run down
and sleepleSs, don't make the common
mistake of supposing your nervous
system needs treatment and fill your
stomach with powerful nerve tOnics
which make you feel good for little
while only to fall back farther than
Your nerves are all right but they
are starved, they want food
Nourish them with wholesome
everyday food and plenty of it, well
digested. and you can laugh at nerve
tonics and medicine.
But the nerves will not be nourish-
ed from a weak, abused stomach, but
when the digestion has been made per
feet by the use of this remedy all
nervous symptoms disappear
Who ever heard of a man or woman
blessed with vigorous digestion and
good appetite being troubled with
their nerves.
Good digestion means strong nerv-
Gus system, abundance of energy, and
capacity to enjoy the good things OF
life.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will Ger
tainly set your stomach and digestive
organs right; they can't help but do
| it because they nourish the body by
digesting the food eaten, and rest the
stomach.
You get nourishment and rest at one
and the same time, and that is all the
worn out dyspeptic needs to build him
UP and give new life to every organ
and an added zest to every pleasure
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are q
/ god-send to the army of men and Wom-
/ en- with weak stonachs and nerves and
Justly merits the claim of being one OF
fs,e --ec~t worthy medical discoveries Of
the time.

III Rock Island Yards.
Fremont Wells. switcbman. about
30 years old, was caught between a
couple of freight cars in the Rock Island
yards about o'clock last night and
crushed to death. This accident occurred
in the west end Of the yards and was
not witnessed by anyone. c. StrOuse,
foreman of the night switch engine, and
q. 4. Brown, another sWitchman were
probably within 100 feet of Wells at the
time he lost his life
It seems that Wells was riding
string OF cars which had been shunted
down track number six by the switch
engine, and evidently started to climb
down the front ladder of the leading car,
when brushed up against another
but which projected a trife over towards
track six. Wells was caught between
the cars and killed instantly. for not
many minutes after the accident hap
pened, Brown, who had gone down the
track to make a coupling stumbled over
Wells body and found life extinct. The
body was placed on a switch engine anC
brought to the foot of Tyler street,
where the engine was met by an am
bulance and the body turned over to an
undertaken.
One of Wells gloves was found hang
ing from the top rung of the ladder on
the side of the car. and the side OF the
car was covered with blood. The blood
and the glove explained how the lrag-
edy had happened.
Wells had been in the employ OF the
Rock Island as a switchman for some
months. He lived at sos Branner street;
He is survived by a widow and seVerai
