COMING ATTRACTIONS AT THE
AUDITORIUM.

Comedian AL. H. (Metz) Wilson tells
this good story: "a young English
man with a title and a healthy appe-
tite went to spend few days at
in Switzerland. BY chance
he arrived on Friday, when the fare
was especially frugal. He had little
to eat that day and went to bed
hungry. During the night, as is their
custom, one of the fathers went to
the cells with benediction. 'The
Lord be with you," which of course,
he said in Latin. When he came to
the door of the visitors cell he knock
ed and said. "Domius tecum!"' who's
there?" cried the young Englishman.
The Monk repeated, "Dominus te-
cum!" "Ah, thanks, I'm much oblig-
ed said his lordship, getting out of
bed. please put it down outside"
There wasn't an unmarried man in
the house at the Majestic theater last
night who after seeing Marrying Mary
Montgomery as portrayed by lovely
Florence Gear, wasn't quite willing to
be put on her matrimonial waiting
list as candidate for the position of
No. A or even No. 5. And there may
was willing to swap for Mary. For
verify Mary was as witching a crea-
ture as ever turned the heads and
broke the hearts of the male sex
Peoria had already seen Marie Ca
hill il the role. But it had to see Miss
Gear before fully realizing its true
capabilities of charm and winsome-
ness. The wonder was not that Mary
married three times, but that she
escaped committing matrimony a doz-
en- times at least. Miss Gears COM
edy is as delicious as 1t Is spontane-
Gus. She has likewise enough magne.
tism to operate dynamo as big as
an ice wagon. And how she can sing!
Her chief number, I'm So Lonely"
tickled the house half to death and
it demanded so many encores the star
was well nigh exhausted before II
could be satisfied. There is a fine
chorus in Marrying Mary" that
dances and sings admirably and the
comedy is in such capable hands that
there isn't break in the fun from
start to finish.
So potent is Miss Gears individual
ity that Marrying Mary takes on an
entirely new guise and has erturned
to Peoria practically a wholly fresh
and original production. Most of the
lines have been rewritten, their vii
is timely and new and altogether the
piece offers thoroughly enjoyable
and delightful evenings entertain
ment. Marrying Mary remains at the
Majestic three days longer with matt
nees today and Wednesday.

EVIDENCE AGAINST STANDARD
Missing Contract showing How
Dummy Was Used I'm Hands
of Government,

NEW YORK. Dec. 10.-The missing con-
tract OF the Standard oil company, which
explains the loan made by the corporation
to T. N. Barnsdall OF P~ittsburg. is now in
the hands OF Frank b. Kellogg, the gov
eminent prosecutor, conducting the gov
ernment's suit TO dissolve the standard
OIL company which is in progress here.
The contract had been demanded by the
government while John d. Archbold was
on the stand recently, and yesterday It
was turned over to Mr.. Kellogg by Morris
Rosenthal, after having been obtained in
Pittsburg from the Pittsburg Trust COM
pany. The contract, 1t Is said, indicates
the Standards complete control OF the oil
field which Mr.. Barnsdall operated. Two
contracts, In fact, covered the transaction
OF the loan OF $4,000 and the security
given by Mr.. Barnsdall was the bulk of the
stock of the Barnsdall Oil company, mort
cages on coal lands and rights in Okla-
homa. These same securities, William A.
Rockefeller testified on the witness stand
a year ago, were practically worthless, In
his opinion. This made Mr.. Barnsdalls
property the trusts. and the government
counsel hopes to show that he was thus
practically a dummy furnished with funds
to build up the business of the Standard.
The original loan was made by the STAN
dard OIL company itself, but the last one,
dated February, 1907, extending over a
period of seven years, was made by Presl-
dent Young of the Prairie OIL and Gas
company, a Standard subsidiary.

FEARED BEING GRABBED
Woman's Nervousness from Coffee
Drinking.

The brain acts through the nerves.
When the nerves are irritated by coffee
drinking the mind often imagines things
which have no real existence-such as APP
preaching danger, u~nfriendly criticism,
etc.
A Mich. women suffered in this way
but found how to overcome II. She
writes:
For twenty years, I drank coffee think-
ing it would give me strength when tired
and nervous.
The more coffee 1 drank, the more
tired and nervous 1 became until I broke
down entirely. Then / changed my work
from sewing TO housework. This gave me
more exercise and was beneficial, but /
kept on drinking coffee-thought I could
not do without It.
II was so nervous at times the II left
alone I would not go from one room to
another for fear someone would grab me,
and my little children had TO go around
on tiptoe and speak in whispers.
Finally an attack of the grip weakened
me so my nerves rebelled and the smell
even of coffee was nauseating. Then my
husband prepared some Postum for me,
believing the long use of coffee had
caused my breakdown. so that my head
and lands shook like the palsy.
AT first I did not like Postum but I
kept on drinking II and as we learned how
to make II right according TO directions
on pkg. 1 liked It as well as coffee.
Occasionally 1 make coffee when we
have guests and give 1t TO the children,

turn their cups for Postum Now / go

Der has increased until at present there are

to the state; but It Is also a great deal Of
extra work upon this department, as 1t is

election law be 80 amended as to give this
department more time between the last day

Two More Victims of Rio Started b.
Fanatics in Kansas City Die
of Wounds.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 10.-Two more
names were added today to the list Of dead

ligious fanatics and the police here, the

man, succumbed to his wounds at st. Jo-
seph's hospital. Policeman Albert D. Dali
bow and Lulu Pratt died Immediately after
being shot Tuesday.
Pratt sank into a state of unconscious
ness late yesterday and efforts to arouse
him were unavailing. His right leg had
been amputated at the knee and there
was a bullet lodged in his brain. When his
wife and children, confined at police head
quarters, were told OF his death they broke
down completely and were much more at
fected han at the death OF Lulu Pratt two
days ago.
Mullane suffered himself to be MORALLY
wounded because he would not shoot a
woman. According to witnesses he lodged
behind a wagon when Mrs. Sharp attacked
him with a revolver and though she con-
tinued firing he made no resistance though
he was armed.
Boys, I could have killed the woman,
but I wouldn't" he exclaimed as he sank
to the pavement pierced by four bullets.
1t developed today that both Pratt and
James Sharp, who is now at large. as
sumed the title of Adam Cod when
preaching in separate localities. but Sharp.
as founder of the sect, held the prior claim
to the title. Pratt professed to ave the
same divine fire, but in 8 lesser degree.
The body OF Policeman Dalbow was In

SUITS FOR CRIMINAL LIBE

-
Men Who Spread False Reports About
Canal Deal to Be Prosecuted.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-"If they can be
reached for criminal libel I shall try to
have them reached" said President Roose-
welt, in speaking this afternoon, about
those Americans who ave been guilty with
Infamous falsehoods concerning the prop
erty of the (Panama) canal itself"
1t was TO the committee of 100 of the
Lakes to the Gulf Deep Waterways asso-
citation, headed by Governor Deneen of Illi-
nois, received by the president in the East
Room OF the White House, that he made
this declaration.
Governor Deneen had presented a copy of
the resolution adopted by the association
and made a few remarks, to which the
president replied as follows:
Il have felt as the governor has so well
put it. that no more important service could
be rendered this country than the building
Of the Panama canal. and one thing 1 am
proud Of in connection with the building Of
that canal is that there has not been leglti-
mate cause for the breath Of scandal con-
nected with any feature of the proceeding.
We have cause to be ashamed Of only one
set OF Americans in connection with the

nous falsehood concerning the acquisition
Of the property and the construction of the

reached. If not. at any rate, all the facts
we know or ever have known are at the
disposal Of each and every one Of you here,
and OF any one in congress or all congress
II they wish TO see them"
Next only in Importance from the ply
steal standpoint to building the Panama
canal comes the question OF developing the
use OF our waterways. That must be done
by the policy OF irrigation at the head
waters up in the arid regions. n where
you come from. gentlemen. 1t is TO be done
by making a deep channel from the gulf
OF Mexico TO the great lakes, and we will
see that that work is done just as honestly,
just as efficiently as the Panama canal
work has been done, and no work could
have been done from beginning 20 end more

The City in Darkness

There is as yet no prospect of street
lighting as the town council and the
light company are each standing pat on
their original propositions. In the mean
time the town is obliged to put up with
darkness, a condition which does not at
all please our people and practically
leaves US at the mercy of the floating
element.
The town needs the all night service
which it enjoyed until June OF this year
and no other solution of the problem
will suffice. 1t is understood that unless
some terms can be arrived at soon with
the Northern Electric company the
council will take up the matter of grant
ing a franchise to another company.
Several propositions for new lighting
system have been made informally to
the council which will be taken up in
the near future if there is no getting to-
gether with the Northern Electric.
