PoLrs NEW THEATER.

Have you met Mme. Fuji-Ko this week? That seems to be the leading question among the ladies of this city. The charming Japanese actress who is playing Pitt Sing in The Mikado with the Poll Opera company has become a genuine favorite with the patrons of this theater. The revival of popular operstic offerings is drawing crowded houses to this pleasure palace.
 Electric fans, an ice-cooling apparatus and cheerful climatic surroundings makes Polls one of the best places in town to spend an afternoon or even ing.
 The Mikado production is meeting with great success, William Sellery as The Mikado being specially adapted to the role. Bertha Davis is still fa- vorite and James McElhern as 1<o Ko is specially deserving of praise The chorus works with a vim that makes the production fully up to the dollar and one half standard.
 Tea receptions are held on the stage after the daily matinees by Nine Fuji-Ko and other members of the cast where tea is served to all the ladies who desire to meet the charm ing Japanese lady who already has beeen the subject of lots of admiration from the fair sex.
 Seats are now selling for all week. Daily matlnees are a feature at this theater.

age, shot Duke Owens, white man

ling him instantly.
The shooting occurred on the A.
W. Galaspie place, three miles this
side of Central, near the county line.
The facts of the killing are meagre.
1t is said that some boys playfully
rocked Wooten's home Saturday
night and he became angry. Mr..
Owens, neighbor, and some other
person, whose name could not be
learned to-day, went to Wooten's
home to tell him the boys meant no
harm, but Wooten did not accept
the explanation, and ordered Mr..
Ovens and his companion off the
place. Mr.. Ovens remained to
demonstrate with Wooten and it was
then that Wooten fred the fatal
shot.
Esquire Hunter held an inquest
yesterday afternoon and Wooten
was brought to the Jail here this
morning. Mr.. Owens was promi-
nent man in this county and the
tragedy is greatly deplored.

White Races and Meat Eaters Most
Prone to tho Disease.
William Seaman cambridge In the
Medical Record states that cancer oc-
ours with the same essential charac-
teristics throughout the vertebrate Gre
alton. There Is variety Of conflicting
evidence In reference to the influence
Of diet on the development OF cancer.
However, cancer Is comparatively rare
In hot countries, especially in those
whose inhabitants subsist largely on
vegetable diet. With certain exceptions
1t seems to be prevalent where animal
diet is mostly consumed.
Black races are remarkably Immune
from cancer, yellow races are more
prone to 1t, while the white races are
the most susceptible. 1t occurs when
the tissues are undergoing retrograde
metamorphosis- Cancer Is undoubted-
ly on the Increase The principal In
crease involves the alimentary tract.
There are certain districts called can
Ger belts" Such areas are usually low
lying and damp.
Women are attacked by cancer far
earlier and more often than men.
Much recent experimental work points
to the cell as the essential element in
the development OF cancer. The para
sitic theory is discredited by the Har-
ward commission. The report OF the
imperial cancer research fund destroys
all known theories OF the origin Of can.
Ger. but proposes no new theory. Sur
