The production. in all essen tials is the same which pleased New York and Chicago for nearly thirty five weeks two seasons ago. The first changes made in the cast since that time have been with view to main Ja.nir2 the Duoyancy and tine spirit of youth which always have been one of the chief charms of the comedy.
 Henry Miller selected the company supporting Mir. Woodruff with an eye as much toward having young men and women with the appearance of college students as in securing capable players.

Thus they are capable Of entering spontaneously into the spirit of the play. this work being but living over again of scenes familiar to what many of them actually have passed through.

PRESBYTERIAN SERVICES.

Rev. Henry Martyr Campbell'S s morning discourse in the First Pres byterian church was an impassioned appeal for greater personal effort to- ward soul-saving. His text was the words. Do the work of an evangelist '' found in II Timonthy. 4:5.
 On the veranda of a hotel in the Alps one day a lady stood watching four mere specks through field glass. Suddenly the field glass fell from her hand and she lay upon the floor in- sensible. A man raised the glass and gazing in the direction toward which she had lately been looking, beheld these four specks gradually. slipping nearer and nearer the deadly preci- pice. Finally three suddenly disap- peared into the abyss and one was left safe, clinging to the rock above the awful chasm. They were four men lashed together by a strong rope. Later the mangled bodies of the three unfor- tunates were brought to the hotel and at about the same time the survivor walked in. He was avoided by every one. No one had a word for him. At
 last he insisted that he be told the cause of the decided coolness manifest ed toward him, and was told that when the bodies of his three com rades We're found the rope proved to have been cut.
 We are bound to our fellow creatures by the strong rope of influence. Are we cutting that rope and just letting our comrades swing over to eterna, death? Shall We neglect our part in the work of redemption? Jesus Christ .n1 Christ can not save the world alone. Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel applies to the Christians today just as much as to the apostles and Paul ;n his last message tired earnest ly to impress this command upon the faithful Timothy.
 Christians need not be reminded that it is their duty to keep the command ments. Why should they heed less this command which comes direct from God? Christ taught that only by being like Him could our lives be acceptable
 in the sight of God.
 "I am the vine, ye are the branches. :"
 'Ye are the light of the world. Let your light so shine that men may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven"
 The purpose is to do the work of the evangelist. Never has there been time of greater need than now for
 the church to go out and save the per ishing. Too many of us have come to enjoy being Christians rather than do- I ing Christians. and Christ's kingdom is
 not growing in proportion to the in
 crease of population. The church of
 Jesus Christ can live only as she does
 the work of the evangelist and is spir- | itually cold if not helping and saving
 men. As is the church so is the indi- vidual. The man takes on spiritual
 power in proportion as he strives to do the work of the eveangelist. In order | to do this successfully a great con- | cern is necessary. If We have the proper concern for the eternal welfare Y of our friends we will take the time 1 to lead them to Christ. Then besides
 q great concern for souls we need a
 vision of God, such a vicion as Saul had by the roadside. which would lead
 us to say, Here am l. Send me"
 The satisfaction and joy of winning
 souls for Christ can not be told. It si

THE CHRISTIANS PERSONAL
 EFFORT

A full house listened to the pastors plea Sunday morning at the Central Methodist church for personal effNrt on the part of the Christian, in behalf of the unsaVed. After reading the parable of Philip and the Eunuch. Rev. Douglas stated that there were two or three practical lessons in the narrative that could not but be helpful to every earnest Christian man and woman The first practical lesson for us. said the speaker. is the fact that God uses men and women in the salvation of other men and women. The speaker here referred to numerous passages of scripture 10 substantiate his statement. He also appealed to personal expe- rience as splendid proof. The pathetic and convincing statement of Christ to Peter was emphasized. where Christ said to Peter. 'I give into your hands the keys to the kingdom of heaven" The second thought was that God gives divine guidance to all who will engage in the work of soul saving. The Angel of the Lord said unto Philip" and The Spirit said unto Philip The speaker here related the results of the personal efforts of consecrated young lady with special reference to her influence over sa- loon keeper who had led numbers of young men down to ruin. The man became an earnest Christian and a loyal member of the church. The speaker then told of his own experi- ence in personal work for individuals and how he had been guided by the ldivine hand and what the glorious out come in many instances had been.
 The third lesson for us, said the speaker. is this. namely: We effect for good or i'll every one wfth whom we come in contact. After contact with Philip the Ethiopian went on his way rejoicing. No wonder, for Philip had preached Jesus unto him. The remarks were closed with an earnest appeal for personal workers. individual work for individuals. The audience was quite responsive and it was evi- dent that good was accomplished

IL is doubtless a great surprise to theater-gocTs Of this city that the management was able to book an at traction like "A Message From Mars. which plays a one night engagement al the Doris opera house Tuesday.

To- Generally many seasons pass before foreign and New York successes are sent on tour to the middle west and coast and then to inferior per formers are entrusted roles made prominent by well known stars in the theatrical Armament.

WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

Women have so much to go through in life that il is a pity there is so much needless suffering from back ache. headache. dizziness. languor and othcr common aches and ills of kidney comp.aint.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trouble. They have so much indoor work to do. so much lifting, bending and stooping: they are bound by custom to tight. heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise. and any little cold may bring on a kidney weakness.
 Don't worry if you feel tired and dragged out-if you have backache and bearing-down pain. headache, dizzy spells. faintness and lack ambi- ton. Don't think it's some trouble peculiar 10 the sex. Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trouble.
 Ask yourself this question; "Are my kidneys weH?" The condition oi the kidney secreuons may give you an answer. IT there is a brick dust sediment. or a stringy settling in the urine; if passages are too frequent and copious. or scanty and painful, it IS time to begin using Doan's Kidney Pills. Delay may run you into Rright's Disease or diabetes.

They that win souls are wise" And they that be wise shall shine as the brightnee~ ot the Armament, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. The unsaved of the city are really hungering as we do not realize for a manifestation of our concern for their salvation.

ton against Kansas travellers in favor
or the reubens of Nebraska and Missouri
The order of the board was to put in
the two-cent fare for Kansas until the
decision was reached in Nebraska,
perfectly fair proposition.
The fact is that ninety per cent of
the railroad passenger business in Kan
sas Is now carried at two cents or less.
Last winter 1T was shown by the rail-
roads that at least go per cent of the
travel was at that rate, and the mileage
books are now used by everybody who
does much travelling. So it is safe to
say that nine-tenths OF the passenger
business is on the basis asked.
IF the railroads do not accept and
obey the order OF the railroad board,
Kansas is ready for a fight. In fact
the majority of Kansans are spelling
for an anti-railroad fight anyway and
when the railroads wave the red nag
and dare them to come on there will be
no delay for preparation. The legis-
lature will be called in special session
and a two-cent fare law passed with a
penitentiary sentence for violation and
a freight rate law and good track law
will be added as a guarantee of good
faith"
