PRIMROSE SPECTACULAR SHOW

Something so far'a departure as to
bring fresh vitality into the function
of negro minstrelsy is said to have
been accomplished this season by Geo.
II. Primrose, whose triumphant entry
into new field of black face comedy
and pictorial effect ought to fill the Ly
ceum Theatre during their four days
engagement, commencing with a matt
nee Sunday.
Everything from the rise of the cur
tain on the beautiful first part, until
the grand finale in the closing act, are
of great magnificence and of the cost
ly variety.
Money has been spent in large bund-
les on this years production and 1t is
safe to assume local theatre. goers will
be treated to genuine surprise in
both talent and productlon-in fact
the name of Primrose has never been
identified with anything but the best
in Minstrelsy and In this years pro-
duction far surpasses himself.

CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT

Geo. A. Powers rendered his resig-
nation as Manager of the Northern
Ohio Telephone Company, and Mr..
A. HI. Elton has been appointed to
the position.
Mr.. Elton has had many years ex-
perience in the business and comes
highly recommended and will un-
doubtedly prove valuable man for
the position. He comes from Ports
mouth, Nebraska, and will moye his
family here soon. They will be a
welcome addition to the village.
Mr.. Powers will continue as Treas
urer of the company, but the bust
ness management will go to Mr..
Elton. We regret that Mr.. Powers
has found it necessary to leave the
company. He has done much to
keep the service and business up to
high standard and leaves the COM
pany with clear record and by his
own request,

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Disease Routed
Without Use of Injurious Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
OF their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world in the case of DR.. Decatur ID.
Dennis, the eminent skin specialist
of Chicago.
DR.. Dennis, in his own office prac.
tice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil of wintergreen, properly mixed
with other simple remedies was prac-
tically sure specific for Eczema,
psoriasis, barber's itch, salt rheum,
and other itching skin diseases. But
the oil of wintergreen alone was
found ineffective. 1t required other
mild ingredients such as glycerine
and thymol compounded with the win
tergreen, to produce the real eczema
cure.
This compound d. d. d. Prescrip-
tion positively takes away the itch
at once-the instant it is applied to
the skin. This vegetable liquid does
away with deleterious drugs so long
used in an attempt to doctor the
blood, whereas modern science has de-
termined that eczema is first and all
the time skin disease.

Obviously Congressional opinion is
at last awakened to the necessity of a
thorough and scientific revision of our
currency legislation. The Aldrich
bill has gone over to the house un-
changed in its essential features, but
improved in several minor details.
And now currency commission is
proposed to consider the entire sub
ject, and a measure providing for an
inquiry into the changes and reforms
required in the banking systems of
the country is promised to the Senate
by Mr.. Aldrich. The idea is not un-
worthy of adoption as public senti-
ment on the currency question must
be favorably developed ere any reform
of permanent nature can be insti-
tuted.

The President will transmit to Con-
gress, without comment, the cores
pondence and facts relative to the
controversy of the United States and
Venezuela as to the claims of Ameri-
can citizens against the latter. 1t is
known, however, that the President
feels this country has been patient
with President Castro beyond even
the limits of ordinary liberation or de-
cency; and he is sanguine that when
Congress has digested the facts there
will be action of some kind. The re
sponsibility of that action is to be left
wholly in the hands of Congress.

There is every prospect that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will send special
message to Congress in the not dis
tant furture, looking to the suppress
sion OF anarchy in this country.
Some days ago the Attorney General
was instructed to institute and ex-
haustve investigation for the purpose
of ascertaining if there is sufficient au-
thority for suppressing anarchy by
the executive branch of the govern
ment, andlt seems that further anact-
ments are necessary so that special
message is imminent. President
Roosevelt recommended legislation
on this subject IN his annual message
of 1901, and only limited action was
taken, Congress refusing to make
declaration that anarchy was an of
fense against the law of nations, as
the message suggested and declining
to provide for the arrest and punish
ment of American citizens protesting
its principles. All will concur iu the
Judgment that Congress should take
some such steps at the present time
that will seek, at least, to prevent the
reoccurrence of such outrages as that |
at Union Square, New York, and at
Chicago, upon the chief of police.
1t is thoroughly characteristic of
Secretary Taft that he should have |
undertaken the trusteeship of the
Anna I. Jeanes Fund for the educa
tion of the negro race, in addition to
his multitudinous duties as head of |
the War Department, the oversight of |
the Philippines, the supervision of the
digging of the Panama Canal and of
the affairs in Cuba, together with the
cares that beset candidate for the
Presidency. However, Mr., Taft be-
came a trustee for this Fund at the
earnest solicitation of Miss Jeanes,
before he was a candidate for the
Presidential nomination. This fund
of 81 100000, the available proceeds
of which will be probably about $50
900 a year was set apart by Miss Anna
7. Jeanes, a wealthy and philanthrop-
ic Quakeress of Philadelphia, to pro-
vide rudimentary education of the ne
groes of the Southern States.
