A Letter from Wacross, Ca,

Was received from a woman who
had female complaint, saying the
disease affected her mind, would
get confused and so nervous she
could hardly sleep. She described
her case as one similar to thou
sands of others. Then ends the
letter by saying she had gained IS
pounds and never felt better in her
life. She began the use of DR..
Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic six
weeks before she wrote this letter.
The tonic is in tablet form to be
taken after meals. 1t turns the
food into good, rich blood, feeding
the nerves and curing disease by
making healthy flesh. Sold by
drugEists or Is cents per box. Made

MISS NANCE O'NElLL.

Is Spokane not in love with prob
lem plays; did she spend all her
money on grand opera, or has she
forgotten the unsurpassed ability
of Nance O'Neill, that this favorite
should be called upon to play to
a half filled house as at last nights
performance?
Nance was as tragic as ever. Her
work surpassed any that Spokane
has seen from her in it's finish.
However, she is still the strong, ma
tural, passionate Nance O'Neill.
The Fires of st. John" gives her
wide range for the display of her
talents. It's story may not please
the hypercritical, but it certainly
allows opportunity for a portrayal
Of the real passions of real lives.
And Miss O'Neill does not overlook
single one of them.
Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Fisk are
certainly more polished and more
finished in their work, but the west
ern actress is their equal if not
their superior in the portrayal of
passions depths. In time, IL she
casts aside certain leading strings,
there are no heights to which she
may not attain.
Mckee Rankin has perhaps never
been seen to better advantage than
in last nights play He received
his share of the liberal applause.
Robson, as the nephew, also gave a
good account of himself. The re-
mainder of her support was but or
binary.

lincks Norma Wanna"

"PACIFIC MAILS AND THE
AMERICAN WORkINGMAN."

The poor, downtrodden Ameri-
can workingman" is made to stand
sponsor for many things to cover
a multitude of evils. Whenever an
attempt is made in congress to pro-
tect the interests of the people or
when the question of rate regula-
tion is under discussion, the rail-
road employee is used as the buffer,
and it is pointer out that a fair
rate to the shipper means a reduc-
tion in wages. This same favorite
theme is made to do service in max
ing appropriations for hauling the
mails by water - only in this in
stance it is protection to the Am
erican seamen."
Seven years ago the amount paid
for carrying the mails from San
Francisco to Tahiti was less than
$1,000. In 1901 the sum jumped to
$4,000, then to $4,000, and so on,
until it now reaches the tidy sum
of $4,000.

TROUT FISHING HOLLOW MYTH
Rains Spoil Sport, Causing Rivers to
Become Inland Seas and Stream
lets to EnIarqe

Sunday was the first day of the open
trout season, but there were few of
them shared, according to the best in
formation obtainable from inside
sources.
Several enthusiastic Izak Waltons
iourneyed to the river side and pounded
the waves incessantly. with all sorts of
bait calculated to tempt the finny tribe,
but there was nothing doing.
The heavy rains which have inter
fered with all spring sports and pas
times during the last three or four
weeks, contributed the lions share to
the nonsuccess of the hook and line
brigade
Mountain streams assumed propor-
tions of miniature Niagaras and So
called rivers were turned into inland
seas, with the result that the murky
waters forbade the slightest degree vi
success and the weary fishermen re-
turned to Los Angeles with hook and
line, some bait and no trout.
Conditions are expected to improve
speedily and the attack will be re-
newed with a vengeance, but for the
present there is little enthusiasm noted
among the "profesh" and the usual
crop of fish stories are yet in the re-
