James Bonelli, the comedian who

Dumpty at the Opera House Friday
evening is young actor who has won
considerable fame as comedian. hav-
ing appeared in such we'll known nIusi-
cal comedies as Fantasma, DEVILS
Auction and Eight Bells. He has been
an acrobat since his fifth year and his
father and grandfather were acrObats
before him. Humpty Dumpty gives
Mr.. Bonelli good change to introduce
his droll eccentric comedy for which he
has become noted. He is surrounded
by an all-star company of singers,
dancers, comedians andlacfobats and a
strong chorus of pretty girls.
This is a comedy pantomime which
can really boast of plot of intense in
terest, full of comedy, wonderful cleo
trical effects, and beautiful scenery.
The comedy is bright and sparkling ;
the action, terse, vivid and rapid, the
musical numbers are bright and catchy
the chorus of pretty girls are all clever
singers and dancers. while the special
ties, six in number, are all feature
acts.
Dickson & Mustard carry nearly
three tons of beautiful scenery and
wardrobe, all new this season. This,
without doubt, will be the strongest
singing and most beautifully dressed
chorus of young ladies, and the grandest
scenic show playing here this year.

Whose Says is Best !?

With nearly all medicines nut I'D for
sale through druggists, one has to take
the makers Say-so alone as to their cura-
tive value. OF course, such testimony is
not that OF a diSinterested party and
accordingly is not to be given the same
credit as if written from disintereSted
motives. DR.. Pierce'S medicines, how
ever, form single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to
the confidence of inyalids does not rest
solely upon their makers say so or
praise. Their ingredients are matters of
public knowledge, being printed on each
separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid
sufferers are taken into DIR. Pierce'S full
confidence. Scores OF leading medical
men have written enough to fill volumes
in praise of the curative value Of the
several ingredients entering into these
yell known medicines.

New Natiety of Wheat.

A rev variety of wheat has been dis
covered in Mexico which is said to be
immune from attacks of the wheat
rust. The United States Department
of Agriculture is greatly interested in
the discovery, and steps will probably
be taken to have the wheat introduced
in this country. The Mexican Agri-
cultural Society has just issued a re-
port concerning the new wheat, which
is said to have been grown in the State
of San Luis PotoSi, Mexico, for Sc yeral
years with great success. The rust
immune wheat is from seed that was
originally imported from Argelia.

In the Year 24O7 A. ID.
what will man be IN 500 years?

what will man be IN 500 years."
That is the question that is agitat-
ing scientists of England and Ameri-
ca. In addition, to this there has been
much speculation as to what his sur
roundings will be, and what turns his
marvellous mental development will
take. 1t is conceded by those who are
inclined TO dabble with the future, that
the men of ages coming will sacrifice
the body for the brain Little exercise
will be taken, as locomotion will be
principally by the aid of airships and
moving sidewalks. A journey around
the world, it is thought, will be no
more than fight through the air.
1t is also surmised that the man of
the future will care nothing for feaSts
and banquets, and that these things
and a Pure Food act will be unknown.
His nourishment will consist OF the
concentrated extracts of the best food,
prepared according to the formulas of
advanced chemistry. and each meal, no
doubt, will be confined within the
limits OF a single pill. Food elements
to prepare man for certain kind of
work will be one of the specialties. 1t
is also drought that the style will re-
vert to something like the style of the
ancient Greeks or Romans.
There is diversity of opinion as to
the manner OF habitation 500 years
from now. H, G. Wells, an English
writer who is inclined to look ahead a
little, believes that in the year 1000,
the cities of New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia will have about 40, 900, 900
inhabitants each, while London, PARIS
Berlin and st. Petersburg will have
about O.OO0, 600 citizens. The uues-
tion of housing this number of people
will be large one, but it is the opinion
Of this same writer that, while these
cities will not cover great deal more
area than they do at present, they will
rise to a height undreamed Of today.
Buildings of l25 and $50 stories will be
common, each one of which will be
capable of holding $4,000 or 10000
people
The modern elevators will give way to
pneumatic tubes and flying machines,
and, it is thought. great many people
will not set foot on the earth at all, ex-
cept for occasional pleasure trips. 1t
is expected that the building opera
tions of the future will be conducted
largely in glass, which is even now be-
ing advocated to take the place of the
common clay bricks.
1t is predicted that the electrical
age, which only seems TO have begun
in the present era. is doomed to pass,
and that the air we now breathe will
be sufficient for the wants Of all men.
Such persons even see, towering above
the buildings of the future immense
chimneys that will suck down the air
from mil IS above the earth, extract
from it all its potential elements, caus-
ing them to make light, beat and VEN
tilation, and then, through another set
of chimneys, puff out the exhaust. -

Honest Boy Returns "Lemon.' -

sum of $67, He thanked the COM
pany for the lemon, as he called it,
and returned the gift to the cashier.
The boy found an envelope in front
Of the banking house house containing
$50, 900 in bonds and 81, 900 in currency
and returned them to the Office of Mr.
Morgan. He says he did not know
that lemons" came from Mr.. Morgan
in that shape, as he had expected
a round hundred for his honesty.

PERCENTAGE OF 6lO
WILL WIN THE PENNANT

A prominent Marion fan who is al
so a base ball statistician of rare abil-
ity, has, after carefully comparing the
work of the various teams in the o.
p. league during this season and
last, announced that the aggregation
that wins the pennant this yaar will
take down the flag with a percentage
of games won and lost to vary be-
tween 900 and .610.
And this means that any club In
the circuit which is within striking
distance of the 900 mark is within
striking distance of the pennant. In
compiling his figures, the statistician
referred TO, bases his findings upon
the results of games played between
the stronger teams and those which
are ringing up the rear in the
league procession. But now Mans

castle are strengthened wonderfully,
and are making great showing

Hardly a day passes but what one
hears a fan say that so and SO is going
to pitch to-day and that he will win
or lose, as the case may be. To one
who is not acquainted with the facts.
the average set of baseball followers
would think that these prognosticators
know all about 1t. But In many cases
they are wrong.
Why are some pitchers successful
against one team and rank failure
against another? Take the case Of
Lefty Leifield, of the Pirates, against
Boston, since the left-hander has be-
come a Lacquer. He has pitched ten
games against Tennys men and won
nine Of them. Five games he won by
shutting them out, He has never lost
a game In Boston. Mathewson, a
couple OF years ago, won ten straight
games, all he twirled against the Pi-
rates. This year Leifield has defeated
st. Louis six times, and st. Louis is
his home.
"Three-Fingered" Brown has pitched
against every team in the National
league this year, and Plttsburg was
the only team he has found any
trouble TO defeat-he has pitched in
three full games against the Pirates
and has won but one of them. He had
no trouble to win four from New York
and the same number from Cincin-
natl. Vic Willis has won both games
he has pitched against New York, but
has lost three to Chicago. He has
also beat Brooklyn three times, but
could not win from Philadelphia.
Philippe, who had not won a game
from Chicago for years, has won two
out of three from them this season.
Ames has won but one game from the
Pirates, his first game in the league.
when he defeated Scanlon, both start
ing the same day in the National
league. He was defeated last season
for the first time after his winning
streak, and received his only coat of
whitewash OF the season from Pitts
burg.
In the American league one can find
just as complicated cases as in the
older league Why is 1t that Donovan
has not pitched against Chicago,
Walsh against Detroit, Killian against
Philadelphia. Dygert against Cleve'
land, Patten against Cleveland, etc.2
Donoyan has won four times from
