THE GAY MUSICIAN.

One of the biggest successes in
 years has been scored by the new
 Julian Edwards comic opera 'The
 Gay Musician and by the superb
 company presented by Manager John
 P. Slocum at Polls on Friday. Not
 since the days of Gilbert & Sullivan
 operas has anything been presented
 to the public as dainty, pleasing, neat
 and refined as is "The Gay Musi-
 cian," which proves that the public
 has tired of the horse play and slang that has characterized so many pro- ductions in recent seasons. The pop
 ularity of "The Gay Musician" is shown by the big business it is do- ing and the rendition of many of it's musical gems by orchestras at the hotels. The work of the composer is {. artistically rendered by the powerful company and chorus selected by Man
 ager Slocum At the head of the list is Amelia Stone, dainty, refined,
 magnetic and chic, and gowned like a veritable queen, making her the envy of every woman in the audience Then comes Joseph c. Miron, power full of voice and full of drollery. The
 two artists are most ably assisted by Templar Saxe, Lottie Kendall, Mar tha George, Harry Short, Carroll Mc- Comas. William s. Gill, L. R. Leffer- son, Haydn P. Clifford, Marie Baxter. Francis Roblee, Irene Messenger and others, all of whom make pronounced hits. The chorus is undoubtedly the best heard in years, while the gowns
 displayed are marvels of the mo- diste's art. Prices 25c to $1.50.

nine more days There is not the slightest doubt but what every per son who will be present this even ing. will go home 10 tell of the splen- did musical programme and they will come back again and again and bring all their friends. Every Elk in the city is expected to be on hand at half past seven this evening to take part in the big parade. It will only be q short one, but the Elks expect 10 tear things loose before they get through. The new auto mobile will also be In the parade, but will not run by Its own power. It will be carried around on a big van, in order that whoever wins t will find 1t just as 1t came from the manufacturer. When you see It there will be that longing to own 1t, and you may if you do the proper thing. The Empire Women's or. chestra will also be in the parade in open carriages and they will attract much attention along the line of march. After the parade is over, and the boys and girls all reach the hall Mayor Thoms will toss them a few choice literary bouquets and will wind this up by tossing over to the boys the keys of the city. Then the fair will be on and everything ''ill go with vim for the next nine or ten days But lest you forget, If you want to be there on the Ia
 night when they are cutting the melon, you want to get busy right away and secure one or more of the books or the leaves of the book that the Elks have. Make a try for
 doll too for your little girl. Some body has got to be winner, why not you?

Kokomo Woman
Gives Fortune
To Help Women Who Suffer.

Tn the past few years Mrs Cora B.

medical treatment to afflicted women
Sometime ago we announced in the col
umns of this paper that she would send
free treatment to every woman who suf-
fered from female diseases or piles.
More than a million women have &C
cepted this generous offer, and as Mrs.
Miller is still receiving requests from
thousands of women from all parts of the
world who have not yet used the remedy
she has decided to continue the offer for
awhile longer, at least.
This is the simple, mild and harmless
that has cured so many
women in the privacy of their own homes
after doctors and other remedies failed.
It is especially prepared for the speedy
and permanent cure of leucorrhoea OF
whitish discharges, liberation displace-
ments or falling of the womb, protuse,l
