'1TiIIy OIson," March 26th.

No dramatic writer ever hit upon
the idea of making young Swedish
girl a heroine of drama until
"TILLIE OLSON" was thought out.
There have been numerous Swedis.
American dramas written for male
stars, bat this is the first one in
which the fair sex are exploited.
The only Swedish character in
"TILLIE OLSON'' is the girl Tilly.
The rest of the characters are pro-
ducts of the great Northwest, the
scene being laid first on Minnesota
farm and later in the city of Mime
apolis. "Tilly" proves to be very
entertaining stage creation, for she
is bright and witty and with a fund
of good humor hid beneath the i'm
perturbility for which her nation is
noted. The situations of the play
are said to be extremely amusing
and the comedy is clean cut and
scintillating with good things from
beginning to end. Some original
specialties are introduced and fine
quartette is carried for the church
scene. An adequate scenic equip
ment has been provided, every scene
being from the studio of Messrs.
Moses & Hamilton of the Broadway
Theatre, New York. An exception
ally clever campany will aid in in
terpreting the comedy and the title
role will be played by an especially
clever comedienne, Miss Emily
Erickson Green. .....

Given Up to Die

B. Spiegle, 1904 N. Virginia St.,
Evansville, Ind, writes: "For
over five years I was troubled with
kidney and bladder affections
which caused me much pain and
worry. I lost flesh and was all
run down, and year ago had to
abandon work entirely. I had
three of the best physicians who
did me no good and I was prac-
tically given up to die. Foley's
Kidney Cure was recommended
and the first bottle gave me great
relief, and after taking the second
bottle I was entirely cured" why

There is no case on record of a
cough or~cold resulting in pneu-

Honey and Tar has been taken,
as it will stop your cough and

tempt for Refusing to Obey Injunc.
tion of United States Circuit Court
for District of Minnesota.
Washington, March 24.-The SUI
preme court of the United States de-
MED the petition of Attorney General
Edward T. Young of Minnesota for
writ of habeas corpus in the case in
which he is held for contempt of court
by the United States circuit court of
Minnesota because he refused to abide
by an injunction issued by that court
forbidding him from taking any action
looking to the enforcement of the
maximum railroad rate law. The
court at the same time pronounced
Invalid the Minnesota law regulating
both freight and passenger rates. The
opinion was announced by Justice
Peckham, who held the Minnesota law
to be unconstitutional on it's face be-
cause of the enormous penalties i'm
posed for disobedience to it.
Justice Harlan delivered a dissent
ing opinion, in which he expressed the
view that the decisions of the court in
the Minnesota and North Carolina
cases marks new era in the rela-
ttonship between the states and the
federal government and between the
federal and state courts. He con-
tended that the suit of the railroad
company in the Minnesota case was in
reality suit against the state and he
dwelt at length upon the enormity of
permitting subordinate United States
court to order the Imprisonment of an
official of a sovereign state to test a
law of the state. "If this can be
done," he said, 'wky can't similar
injunction be put on grand jury or
district attorney in any criminal
proceeding 2"

Thomas F. Hunter, sheriff of Bun
combe county, N. c., VS.. James H.
Wood, agent of the Southern Railway
at Asheville, N. c., involving a con-
fict over the North Carolina railroad
rate law was decided by the supreme
court of the United States in favor of
Wood. The decision was announced
by Justice Peckham and it's effect is
to sustain the federal courts and thus
holds invalid the law.

HOUSE KNOCKS OUT BETTING
Bill Passed Affecting Racetrack at
Bennings.

Bennings.
Washington, March 24.-Betting on
horse races at Bennings, so far as the
house of representative is concerned,
shall not continue. That body, by a
vote of 70 to 4, amended the anti
gambling laws of the District of Co.
lumbia so as to- extend them to the
territory in which the Bennings track
is located. The supreme court of the
District recently held that these laws
did not apply to the Bennings track
because it was more than one mile
from the boundaries of the city of
Washington. The spring race meet
ing has just opened. ls
