ware firm in Rush City yet, urging
upon you the importance Of law I'M

dlers:: If you haven't, you either are
not engaged in business, or else your

you have received them, however,
then you have doubtless also been ap-
preached by someone you know, car

that such a law was passed In the
last legislature but was killed by Gov
ernor Johnson-some say in one way,
some in another All this is in the
programme-thei letters from Repub-

City, and the local Jacobson man with
the documents; first letters from
Rush City, then calls from the docu-
ment man, then more letters, then
more calls, etc. Every community
has had its share of this style of ia
cobson campaigning. just, as your
town has. Whether the bait has
been as extensively swallowed here as
elsewhere we have no means Of know
ing. Those who have swallowed it
had better spew it out before it morti-
fees and becomes Z stencil.
There isn't any campaign material
in the facts themselves. It is the
manner Of juggling with the facts that
is relied on for effect. The bare facts
are that q bill providing for The IL

last legislature and vetoed by tho gov

given to the complete satisfaction of
everybody conc erned at the time. One
reason for the veto. as publicly stated
at the time, was that. under its pro-
visions farmer who would attempt
to sell bushel Of potatoes, few ears

chunk of beef Or pork. to a private
resident in town would be liable to

PRINCE OF PARCHEESI.
Rehearsals Show Great Progress in
All Parts.


A final rehearsal of the first act of the
Prince of Parcheesi by the full cast and
chorus was held last night at Rauscher's
The results were so pleasing to Mr.. Percy
Leach. who is drilling and managing the
production. that he announced that all of
next week would be devoted to the second
and third acts.
It is gradually dawning upon the men,
bers of the dramatic club who are to pre-
sent the Prince Of Parcheesi that 1T is no
child's play they have entered upon. This
operetta is to be on a far more Neten-
tious scale than the skit brought out last
year by the same players. 1--WE Are in
Society" That was simple little thing,
made up of a few tuneful airs and the
barest suggestion of a plot. 1t was pro-
duced in good fashion by the younger
members of the smart set without impos-
ing many hardships on them or seriously
interrupting the round Of their gaieties.
This year things are vastly different.
The Prince of Parcheesi is an ambitious
effort on the part of its composers. and
those in charge of it's presentation are de-
handing much from the cast and chorus.
1t is full of large possibilities. having more
than a score of musical numbers, lnclud-
ing solos. duets and quartets, With d
dozen or more choruSes and large ensem-

the average company of amateurs cares
to attempt. Mr. Leach has impressed on
the members of the club that only the
most serious kind of work and the fore
going of the usual distracting pleasures
Will render the production a success. The
bellies and beaux have not become fright

NEW COUNTRY CLUB.
Organization With Headquarters on
Virginia Heights.

A meeting was held recently in the
New Willard Hotel for the purpose OF
organizing a country club. to be known
as the Washington Country Club, and to
be located on property belonging to Ad-
miral RiXey In Virginia. The meeting
was well attended. Among those present
were represented the membership of
several golf clubs In Washington, no.

The Old Dominion electric railroad passes

Profiting by the experience of clubs in

In the printing and publishing business
consumption had made its greatest de-
velopment, and in 1890 the late George
w. Childs and Anthony ]. Drexel OF
Philadelphia, knowing the ravages OF
this disease full well from its headway
among their employees, decided to send
those afflicted to Colorado for recupera-
ton and possible cure. With this idea
in view they each gave to the 1nterna-
tional Typographical Union $4,000. to be
used as a nucleus to the erection of
sanitarium in that climate. At the pres
ent time there is at Colorado Springs
magnificent building standing in beauti-
full grounds covering over eighty acres
devoted to the care and rest of its mem
bers suffering from tuberculosis, which
institution stands out by itself as the
only one of its kind in all the world. being
kept up wholly by deduction of a Ger
tain per cent (now 10 cents per capita)
from the monthly dues Of the members of
the union. It has been found out from
experience there chat consumption in "a
very advanced stage cannot be benefited
or cured. as the altitude is too high and
almost invariably hastens the patients
death.
1t is only recently that the President is
sued an executive order as to the preven-
ton of tuberculosis in government build
ings, and that the medical officers of the
different municipalities have isolated such
cases and erected separate hospitals for
IT'S treatment. as with other plaques. all
of which shows that there Is a spirit at
least to stamp out this disease. Let the
good work so on; let the prevention of
tuberculosis be taught to little children
in our schools and grown-ups in our col
leges and in the gEsatest of all educators,
the daily newspaper. No greater gift
could be given to mankind than to hold
out to the poor emaciated creature suf-
fering with tuberculosis the hope that
he can be eventually cured and restored
to health. JOSEPH Z GOODKEY.

for his willful ward to make up her
