HE PLEASES AGAIN
Alton Packard. the Famous Chalk
Talker, Opened the New Grand
junction Lecture Course
Last Night, Charm
ing Audience.

The first number of the most ex-
/ tenHhve and most brilliant lect@re
course arranged for any city west OF
Chicago was given last night at the
] Congregational church when Alton
1 Packard. the noted chalk talker. ap-'
peared for the second time before n
Grand Junction audience.
/ Nearly every seat in the church
was occupied both down stairs and up.
! staiis and in the balconies II was
a magnificent audience and every
body present seemed to be imbued
with the happy thoughts that the.
first treat of twelve great lyceum.
treats to be given this season was 10
be offered last night
No. the train from the west. was
late us usual. but Mr.. Packard reach
ed the church about Sis O'Clock and
/ began his entertainment at $40 o.
clock.
Alton Packard was here last sea-
son and no man ever entertained
! local audience more thoroughly than
he did on that occasion. Last night
he did the same thing( and for two
hours that the audience laughed at
his jokes and funny caracatures, mar
veled at his wonderful talent en-
joyed his catchy songs and drank in
the many bits of beautiful aud teach
ing sentimlsnt that he weaves
through his lectures.
Last night he had for his subject
Funny Folks" When he was here
last year he gave his entertainment.
"Uncle Sans Funny People" The
two entertainments are along the
same line, perhaps the first entertain
ment was somewhat better than the
one last night as it was more varied
and there were more pictures still
there can be no complaint regarding
the program last night
A description of Alton Packard's
work and the manner in which he
goes about entertaining his aud
fence is not necessary here. These
facts are too well known. Alton Pack
ard is no stranger in any section of
the country and he is certainly well
known in Grand Junction.
No wonder Mr.. Packard is one of
the biggest and most popular attrac.
ions on the lyeeum platform today
He is great he is astonishing. He is
wonder and a marvel Ii Is said
not once on the hundreds and hun
dreds of occasions that he had lee
tured has he failed to give the ut
most satisfaction.
1t would take too much space to
justly review his program last night.
Every feature was good The humor-
Gus character sketches were admir-
ably executed, the strokes were made
with lightning rapidity and at the
same time the artist would be talk
ing away in that merry vein so char
aoteristic of him. One of the best
executed pictures was that showing
the old Indiana farmer and his wife
and the story he wove around these
characters was one of homely beauty !
and true pathos. The cartoons of the
American girls were splendid. The
imitation of the of carving n statue
of cupid from block of marble was
a pretty piece of work. The last scene
the old country church the snowy
christmas night with its accompanying
story was intensely beautiful.
1.-The American Girl" and The
Picnic for Two his sketch songs
rendered at the piano. made a great
hit.
Alton Packard, you are all right.
Grand Junction will always give you
a hearty welcome and big audience.

Washington, May ESPECIAL before
the adjournment of Congress a presiden-
tial boom Is TO be launched for Uncle
Joe Cannon. II is said that the speaker $
friends have decided to have one of the
best ora tors on the republican side deliver
set speech telling of the attributes of
Uncle Joe and then the whole House Is
to give out yell which will be echoed
In the national convention two years
hence. The speaker has gotten wind of
the story and states in his characteristic
forceful and emphatic language that no
man shall be recognized If he knows that
he arises for that purpose. His supporters
say. however, that they will abide their
time and at the end of the speech the
Illinoisan will be dragged from the speak
er's chair and paraded around the House.
In the session preceding the last repub-
liean convention when all the members
were against Roosevelt, but were forced
to swallow him, Representative William
Alden Smith made Cannon speech which
resulted in one of the most enthusiastic
demonstrations which has been witnessed
In the House in recent years.

In this hour. 1t is a positive conserva-

the powers of darkness and evil and
planted it's banners in the remotest parts

Dr. Williams Pink Pills, Best Blood and Nerve Food, Cured This Case and
 the Proof is Positive.

Nobody who has not endured the suffering caused byFnervous neadache can realize the awful agony or US Vic- tins.
 Worst of all, the ordinary treatment cannot be relied upon to cure nor eVep to give relief that Is permanent. som" doctors will say that if person Is sup feet to these headaches there IS noun ing that will prevent their recurrence
 Nervous headaches, as well as neu- raleia, are caused by lack of nutrition the nerves arc starved. Feed the nerves by furnishing through the blood the clements which they require and the cause of these nervous trou- bles is removed. The only way 10 teeo the nerves is through the blood and IL is in this way that Dr. Williams PlnK Pills have accomplished so many rec markable cures

 In cases of nervousness, as neuralgia nervous debility and ever partial par alysIs and lomocotor ataxia, the logi' cal treatment Is through the blood curing by removing the cause of the disease This Is the mission of 1'r' Williams Pink Pills.
