TO QUESTION agTTy GREEN.
Tax Board Wishes to Examine Her Personally as to Her Property.

ssE.lf + .f Tax Board Wishes to Examine Her
 Personally as to Her ProDerty.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 30. - Mrs. Hetty Green of New York. who owns prop. erty in Chicago worth between A,. 100000 and $5,000O00, may be asked to appear before the board of review next week and answer questions con corning her exact holdings in real es- tate and the reasons why her assess. ments should be reduced.
 This plan was suggested at a meet. ing of the board, when the question of Mrs. Greens taxes on downtown prop. erty. worth nearly $2,000000, came up. Members announced that they wished in this case to deal directly with the owner instead of agents.
 We have decided" said Chairman West, that we would like to have Mrs. Green come before us personally. We have received protests against her assessment from her real estate agents, but we are not satisfied
 Other members expressed the same sentiments.
 The board has no power to compel the attendance of any one at its ses- sions, and there is a possibility that Mrs. Green may ignore the request.
 In that case there is counter possi- bility that Mrs. Green may find the assessments on her other property in creased from 10 te 30 per cent.

THOSE SUDDEN TWINGES.

Pain is nature's signal of distress, . warning that must not be ignored Those sharp twinges in the back. those stabilize pains that follow any sudden twist or turn. are simply signs of hidden danger in the kidneys.
 No trouble starts more easily, gains ground more rapidly. nor proves more often fatal than any disorder ef the kidneys. All the outward ap- pearances of health may remain until c terrible disease had taken root. IL is best to learn the duties of the kidneys. to watch for early signs of trouble. and to correct any irregular fty before it's serious stage begins.
 The blood goes to the kidneys in an fncessant stream. to be cleared of pol son and relieved of surplus water. This is passed off by the Kidneys in the urine. IL is the retention of poi son In kidney trouble, that breeds fatal disease.
 Don't walt The moment you feel any uneaxiness. lameness or pain in the back. the moment the urine shows irregularity. either In its ap. pearance. or in the quantity or num- Der of the passages. begin with Deans Kidney Pills. This remedy has been curing kidney troubles for seventy Ex years. and never yet has failed

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Much interest has already been shown by theater goers in the an, nouncement that. the vaudeville sea- son at the Jacques will open on Mon- day. September 2. The bill which is to be presented for the opening week is an excellent one with John T. Kelly as the headline feature. Mir Kelly and his company will be seen in the funny sketch, "A Game of Con" Every. where Mir Kelly presented this piece last season 1t. was 2. big hit and IS one of the offerings that are really funny. Mir Kelly was for years fixture at that temple of laughter, Weber & Fields music hall in New York. He has no peer as a laughter creator and should be a great suc- cess here. This is only one of the acts which make up the bill. There are others. just as funny and enter taining Jacques has been improved and renovated in many ways and there is every indication of a most successful season.

THROUGH DEATH VALLEY

A Mormon elder with 57 varieties of wives, the aforesaid elders nefar- ious son, manly young miner who declines to eat out of the Mormon's hand, spirited American girl who objects to entering one of the Utah domestic harems, and a good and a bad Indian are the leading charac- ters in Through Death Valley" a melodrama which will be seen at Polls Saturday matinee and evening. For some reason, which probably will be made clear after the play reaches us, this piece has created something of furere all along the popular price line. It has one tremendous climax which even the hard-shell New York dramatic critics lauded and recommended to their readers. The piece, while dealing with the Mormon situation in most vigorous fashion, smacks strongly of the flavor of the mountains and the plains. Ad- venture follows adventure until fin- ally virtue attains its usual nlelo- dramatic reward and the villains go down to death and destruction. Popu- lar prices.

the direct gaze of the defendant
and his wife,.
Af.e: stating New York to be
his residence, aud since that. he is
