Few Here Know This.

When an eminent authority announced
in the Scranton (Pa. Times that he had
found a new way to treat that dread
American disease, rheumatism, with just
common, everyday drugs found in any
drug store, the physicians were slow in
deed to attach much Importance to his
claims. This was only a few months ago.
Today nearly every newspaper in the
country, even the metropolitan dsilies,
are announcing it and the splendid re-
suits achieved. 1t is so simple that any
one can prepare it at home at small cost.
1t is made up as follows: Get from any
good prescription pharmacy Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion, ore-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup SarsapariIla, three ounces. Mix
by shaking in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at bed
time. These are all simple ingredients.
making an absolutely harmless home
remedy at little cost.
Rheumatism, as every one knows, is q
symptom of deranged kidneys. 1t is q
condition produced by the failure of the
kidneys to properly filter or strain from
the blood the uric acid and other matter
which, if not eradicated, either in tho
urine or through the skin pores re
mains in the blood, decomposes
and forms about the joints and muscles
causing the untold suffering and de.
formity of rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be splen.
did healing, cleansing and invigordtine
tonic to the kidneys, and gives almost
immediate relief in all forms Of bladder
and urinary troubles and backache. Hi
also warns people in Q leading New
York paper against the discriminate uss
of many patent medicines.

Indeed, they are but few who are not familiar with at least some part of ''The Merry Widow" the Viennese operetta, unquestionably the most pop ular ever written.
 i It is now sung, whistled and danced ferent from most of it's predecessors in is sung in every known tongue. The Merry Widow" is most strikingly diff from one earth's end to the other and that it appeals 10 every class-the art ist, the layman and from royalty to the little urchin of the street. It's success has been almost meteoric, hay ing exceeded by far the expectations of both it's creators and it's financiers.
 The first production of "The Merry Widow" was in Vienna at the An de Vein theatre, January 3, 1906, and so short a run was anticipated, that an- other light opera was under prepara- tion to follow it. But the morning after it's initial production Franz Le- har, its composer, awoke and found himself, indeed, most famous.
 Five hundred performances were given in Vienna and ere long The Merry Widow" had the whole of Flu rope at her feet. The performances

 Mir. Charles B. Hanford, who played Shyock in the Merchant of Venice" at the Jefferson theatre last night, has won a large following by his faithful and consistent efforts to portray Shakespeare in a way to bring out the best that is in the masters plays. MT. Hanford visits Birmingham nearly every year and his performances are always well worth sec ing. He is a painstaking artist and he plays Shakespearean roles with the ability to grasp essentials and meet the require ments of every part he attempts. His Shylock is a sympathetic portrayal of one of the more famous of Shakespeare's char acters. The human qualities of the Jew of Venice are very well brought out by Mr Hanford. The supporting company was satisfactory, especially Miss Drofnah, who played the part of Portia. The per formance was well received by an au- dience unusually large for Saturday night.

TWO DEPUTIES
 COME TO BLOWS

A heated argument developed into an exchange of blows between Deputy Sher- ifs Sid Cowan, Jr., and Louis R. Dean in the sheriff's office last night Peace makers intervened and the two men were separated without any apparent damage being inflicted.
 The trouble grew out of the raid upon the Hermitage club by the sheriff's de- partment last night As the officers en- tered the club from the Fourth avenue entrance a lawyer was coming down the steps He is well known and responsible and reque sted permission of Deputy Dean to step out and arrange for the making of bonds for a number of the arrested men, and being lawyer Deputy Dean allowed him to go on his own recognizance. The lawyer made bond for himself and also succeeded in doing the same for a nunl- Der of the other men.
 Cowan, it is understood, was in charge of the raid and expressed displeasure at Deans action without consulting him. Dean did not understand that Cowan was in charge and a small argument en- sued at the club building. After the re- turn to the sheriffs office the argument grew very hot and the fight followed. Sheriff Higdon took hand at this time, however, and made the men separate.
 Sheriff Hgdon stated afterward that the courtesy extended to the lawyer was only what would be extended to any other lawyer by any sheriff under similar cir cumstances, the lawyer acting as counsel for the arrested men.

BRYAN SPEAKS ON
 LABOR QUESTION
Working Men Turn Out In
 Crowds At Binghampton
CRITICISM OF ROOSEVELT
Bryan Declares That Roosevelt Is Not the Only One Who Wants To Do Right and That Ameri-
 cans Know This We'll.

Binghampton, N. r., october 24-W. crowd which numbered many railroad and other classes of workingmen. was devoted principally to the labor ques- ton, and 1t was more specific in it's reply to the Presidents recent letter regarding labor than any of his pre- Yious utterances on that subje2.
 He said: "The President declares that he is willing to do everything for labor except to do what is wrong He virtuously asserts that he will not do what is wrong for anybody We must all applaud this resolute deter imitation on the part of the President to adhere to the right, but if he knew his fellow men little better he would not feel so lonesome on this subject He is not the only one who desires to do right. There are really a great many good people in this country who are just as anxious to do right as the President. but many of them differ from him as to what is right, and they are not willing to admit that they are doing wrong merely because they differ from him.
 "The President seems to think it would be wrong to establish a depart ment of labor with a secretary of labor in the cabinet. I beg to differ from the President on this, too, and l be- lieve that majority of the Ameri- can voters differ from him.
 "I resent the imputation that they de- sire to do what is wrong in wishing to give labor representation in the cab met. He believes it would be wrong to amend the law against trusts so as to exclude the labor organization from the l operation of that law. differ from him, and believe a majority of the people do.
 ''The President believes it would be wrong to limit the issue of an injunction, as is proposed in the democratic plat form. We believe that the injunction should not be issued in a labor dispute merely because there is a labor dispute. 1 We believe that no injunction is justi- fled in labor dispute unless the condi- tions are such as would warrant an in- junction if there were no labor dispute.
 'I believe that a majority of the | American people agree with us.
 .The President thinks it would be wrong to grant trial by jury in a case of direct contempt, but I believe that a majority of the American people think with us that a laboring man is as much entitled to the protection of a trial by jury as a man accused of a crime. It is pure assumption on the part of the President and a groundless assumption, that those who desire the legislation set forth in the democratic platform desire it i because they are willing to do wrong. The trouble with the President is that he does not recognize the possibility of an error in his own judgment and will not admit that any one opposed to him can possibly be right"
