ADJUSTMENTS
Girl and Bandit Pleased.

"The Girl and the Bandit seemed to nlease a large audience at the Elks theater last night. The comic opera was presented in this city for the first time. Viola Gillette appearing in the star role wth a company of fairly capable people to assist her.
 The production as offered here is nothing to rave about. The chorus work was not of the best, but the solos were well rendered. In fact, "My Venetian Rose" by George J. Me Farlane, was one of the most delight full vocal selections presented to Pine Bluff theatergoers this season. Me Farlane possesses rich baritone voice of unusual strength and quality and he knows how to add the jes- lures, which sometime prove of such great value to singer.
 The company as whole did com- paratively good work. Jean Reid, who essayed the role of Tessa, the little DTl2dUu some a little miss as has been seen in this city for some years. Her dain- tiness adds to the part which she takes, but it would be a hard matter for Hugh A. Grady, under whose man. agement the comic opera is touring, to fill the shoes of the clever Mabel Hite. Little Miss Reid is a laugh producer. The part itself is laugh pro- ducing, but the great results got out of it by Mabel Hite made her famous and won for her rep that is now securing for her more than three meals a day, with an occasional hot bird and cold bottle. But Mabel Hite has been seen by few Pine Bluffians, so we will have to take little Miss Reid and she fills the bill'' as far as all are concerned. Miss Reidss work was 0. K. from a dramatic stand- point.
 Miss Gillette is a handsome woman with a charming figure. Her voice is cultured and strong. She sings sweet ly, but her work on former occasions has far surpassed that of last night. Tn Beauty and the Beast as Prince the prima donna contralto, scored tremendous hit over the coun- try and especially in the East. Her work last night was not characterized by the vim and dash so familiar with her stage work.

A suggestion in the President s Panama message of the lack of amusements on the isthmus should not be unheeded by the amusement managers, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat The theatrical trust has a number of attractions on the road this season which would not be soreiy missed anywhere in the Unit ed States if they should be sent down to fill this long-felt want. Whether the audiences on the isthmus would tolerate some of them might be question in the case, but it would give employment to the marines to protect them. The marines, in fact, are about the only persons who might be suspect ed of desire to defend them. Light offerings are what the isthmus wants, but not so light that the offering will not balance the weight of a paper dollar paid for balcony seat.

The Nerves of
School Children

DR.. Weir Mitchell, the great Ameri-
can authority on diseases Of the nerves,
makes the following observations on
school children's nerves.
AS examination time approaches
headaches become frequent as the re-
suit of eye strain and exhausted nerves.
st. Vitus' Dance is preceded by inces-
SAINT winking, struggling Of the shoul-
ders and twitching of the face mus
cles
Girls become hysterical, nervous, cry
easily, get fidgety etc.
Under these circumstances the sys-
tenn demands such assistance as is af-
forded by DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve
Pills.
Failure to restore the depleted nerves
makes a complete failure of health al
most certain, for nervous diseases do
not get well of their own accord.
Because Of their mild and gentle &C
ton and extraordinary restorative in
fuence DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills
are especially suited as a treatment for
pale, weak and sickly children.

ENCOURAGES THE ST0RK
GAINESVILLE Man Who Believes In the
Full Baby Carriage.


County Commissioner Sieber, OF
Clay county, who resides at Barnes
Vile, has novel way of offsetting the
race suicide idea, and is incidentally
watching the stork's visits in his child
ren's families, as every time boy
is left as result of the visit, Grand
pa Sieber is out just one hundred doll
lars. And it all happened this way:
Two years ago, in moment of en-
thusiasm, Mr.. Seiber rashly promis-
ed to present 800 to every grandson
born to his children, during the rest of
his life Mr.. Sieber was called upon
to dig this week, to the extent of one
hundred dollars, as result of a visit
of the stOrk to the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Dahm, where he left a
son. This is the third time Grandpa
Seiber has had to draw OH his wallet
for 500, but he says he is game
and that his promise will hold good
even if it forces him into bankruptcy.

keep THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
MankatO People Know How
to Save It.

Many MankatO people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kid.
neys when they know these organs need
help. Sick kidneys are responsible for
a vast amount of suffering and ill
health, but there is no need to suffer
nor to remain in danger when all di-
seases and aches and pains due to weak
kidneys can be quickly and permanently
cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is the statement of Mankato cit
izen who has reclaimed good health by
the use of this remedy:
Andrew johnson, of 9l5 North Fourth
street, Mankato, Mimi, says: II have
been an unusually healthy man in my
time and was never sick day i'm my
life until | was laid up with kidney
complaint and backache. | began to
have an unaccounted for weakness in
my back and pains so severe that my
back would seem as though it was
breaking i'll two. The pains would
come on me suddenly and knock me
out for the time being. | doctored and
used quite a number of remedies and
several times | thought | had struck a
permanent. If | did little extra lift
permanent. If | had little extra lift
ing or caught cold the old complaint
would come back on me i'm more Sc
we're form. The trouble began to grow
very severe and | lost time and money,
but when friend advised me to use
Doan's Kidney Pills | got them at J. c..
Thro's drug store. | had little faith i'm
them, however, but began using them.
In forty eight hours my trouble began
to get better and was finally entirely
removed. / went back to work, and
kept on taking them until | had used
three boxes. That was eighteen months
ago and there has been no return of the
trouble since. | have been free from
every symptom of kidney complaint"

GRANADA MANS NOVEL
From Saturdays Daily.

rTOIH OdIuTOdy 5 Daily.
Edwin p. Older of Granada has EN-
ployed his spare moments this winter
in preparing the manuscript for a
book which he is now arranging to
have published, says The Fairmont
Sentinel. The work is novel in
which the scene and characters are
adapted from life on the western
plains. Mr.. Older spent many years
in the west in the early days and his
intimate knowledge of frontier life
together with his peculiar native wit
and power of expression enable him
to weave into his story an originality
that will doubtless make it popular
reading.
1t is understood that the work has
been submitted to a large publishing
house and a fattering copyright offer
made the author. The book will be
illustrated by c. NJ. Russell, the cow
boy artist, who is an old friend of Mr.
Older, "a they were plainsnen to-
gether years ago.

Mr.. TH0RNE COMMENDED
Young Woman Declares She Did Not
Want to Wed Negro.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
This afternoon Clerk of Court Thorne
received Il call from the young woman
to whom he refused license to wed u
negro last Friday afternoon. With her
was IA couple from Kasota, with whom
she has been making her home. The eld-
er woman was angry that the negro
should have applied for the license, and
she upheld Mr.. Thorne in his refusal
to grant it. She said that the negro,
whose name she said was William Jer-
rift, and who works in stone quarry
at Kasota, had known the girl since De-
cember and had become so infatuated
with her that she had sent her to Man
kato to get her away from him. The
girl was only fifteen years old, and not
eighteen as she had told Mr.. Thorne.
She blamed William CATER severely for
his part.
The girl herself, who does not look
to be over fifteen, when devoid of veil,
corroborated what the older woman had
said She said that she was afraid of
Jerritt, and did not want to marry him,
but had been induced by him to- make
the answers to the clerk that she had
Mr. Thorne's act in refusing the Ii
cense has thus been doubly indicated,
first by public sentiment, and second by
the knowledge that he was the means of
preventing most unhappy marriage by
a young woman whose whole life lies
before her.
