POLI'S
THE RUSSELL BRoTHERs.

The house filler at Polis this even ing will be the famous Russell broth CTS, who are presenting a melodrama of intense intereat entitled The Great Jewel Mystery" under the di- rection of Charles E. Blaney. These clever players for many years were headliners in vaudeville. but they have now assumed the more dlgni- fled work of serious drama and arc at the head of an organization of twenty players. Although the author disclaims any source for the plot of the play, 1t is easily recognized to be a dramatic version of sensational robbery which really occurred not long ago in Philadelphia. The lovers of powerful melodrama will appre- ciate tbis performance and admire the clever work of the Russell oroth- CTS, who, for female comedy charac- ter roles. have no equal upon the stage. Prices are 25, 35 and 50 cents. Telephone 1884.

The Public Marve|s At the Wonderful Cures That Are Being Made bv Dr. Horter and
 His New Method

Dr Horter has built up very large practice in Waterbury.
 Every one praises his skill and marvels at his success, who have had his treatment. He makes no prepos- terous claims, but shows the results. Catarrh is his great speciality. He cures even very bad cases that have been given up. Many people think they have deafness when 1t is only n stopping up of the ears with ca tarh. Many people are running down into consumptive's grave when the treatment of catarrh is all they need.
 Nine out of ten people who have stomach, liver and bowel troubles have only internal catarrh. and near ly every case of kidney disease is ca tarrhal. Most cases of female weak ness is due to catarrh of the pelyis and can be cured thoroughly.
 Dr Horter understands catarrh. He has made special life study of it in this country and in Europe. That is why he cures when others do not know how to cure in this climate. Dr HOrter knows how. You may SohSuit HiH dHv udy dI HIS OUlCe 0ll West Main street. near Willow street.
