"Ben-Hur" TO Be Staged at the
OBera House, Lexington.

When the curtain is drawn at the
Opera House, Lexington on Thursday
evening. March IS, the most elaborate,
magnificent and historically correct pro-
dnction will be disclosed that has ever
charmed and enthralled a theatre audi
ence, for this will be the premiere of
the Chicago Auditorium production of
Ben Hur' in Lexington. More than
three years have elapsed since ben
Hur' was presented in Lexington. At
that time hundreds journeyed from
this vicinity to witness it. No doubt
the same excellent patronage will
mark the forthcoming engagement.
: Ben Hur, with its lustrous Star
of Bethlehem, its camels, Arabian
steeds, Oriental trappery, and mimic
splendor OF the gorgeous East" is be-
yond dispute the most elaborate spec
tacle ever staged In the history Of the
world. It's series of II scenes present
to the eye a feast of muItifarious
beauty and varity, all set to a SYM
phonlc accompaniment Of graceful
music. The exciting episodes, such as
the gally scene with its horde of chain
ed slaves; the sea-fight, and rescue IN
mid-Sea and the thrilling race with two
chariots and eight horses, combined
with the picturesque scenes illusrrat-
ing the Wise Mel in the desert, the
moonlit lake in the Orchard of Palms
where Ben Hur and Iras enjoy seclu-
sion and make love in Iras' barge, the
palm-waving worshippers on Mt. Oil
vet, and the Grove of Daphne with
nymphs dancing in the skins of beasts
to the music of kissing cymbals-sim-

enacted.
"Ben-Hur" appeals to all classes,
all ages and all denominations Of the
Christian faith, and draws to it, as TO
a place OF worship hundreds Of thous-
3nds who seldom, if ever, set foot
within theatre The person Of the
Savior is never made to appear bodily
in the play. yet in the scene in which
the healing Of the lepers in implied the
approach Of the Master is indicated by
a stream IF pure white light amazing
in its effectiveness. This scene is the
most remarkable OF the play and is
heightened in impressiveness by the
singing OF chorus CT one hundred
voices, joining in "Hosannas" of
praise TO the Lord.
The engagement of "Ben-Hur" is
for three nights only, opening on
Thursday. March IS, with a special mat
inee performance on Saturday, March

Tn relieve the worst forms of Rheu-
matism, take teaspOonfnl of the fol-
lowing mixtures after each meal and
at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
once; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. These harmless ingredients
can be obtained from our home drug
gists, and are easily mixed by shaking
them well IN a bottle. Relief is
generally felt from the first few doses.
This prescription, states a we'll
known authority in a Cleveland morn
ing paper, forces the ciOgged-up, in
active kidneys to filter and strain from
the blood the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid, which causes Rheuma-
tism.
AS Rhumatism is not only the most
painful and tort1rouS disease, but dan
gerous to life, this simple recipe will
no doubt be greatly valued by many
sufferers here at home, who should al
once prepare the mixture TO get this
relief. 1t is said that person who
would take this prescription regularly,
dose or two daily, or even few
times a week, would never have seli

Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Coco
Rheumatism prescriptions which really
relieve are scarce, indeed, and when
you need it. you want it badly Our
druggists here say they will either
supply these ingredients or make the
mixture ready to take if any of our
readers so prefer.

HAVE MANY. NARROW ESCAPES
Yet Cowboys Are Rarely Killed or
Injured in Accidents.

Now, after the days work was prac-
tically over, we had our first accident.
says a writer in Outing Magazine. The
horse ridden by a young fellow from
Dcs Cabesss slipped, fell and rolled
quite over his rider. At once the an
imal lunged to his feet, only to be i'm
mediately seized by the nearest rider.
But the Dos Cabesas man lay still,
his arms and legs spread abroad, his
head doubled sideways in a horribly
suggestive manner We hoped off,
Two men Strengthened him out, while
two more looked carefully over the in
dications on the ground.
"All right" sang out one of these,
"the horn didn't catch him"
He pointed to the indentation left
by the pommel. Indeed, five minutes
brought the man to his senses. He
complained of a very twisted back.
Homer sent one of the men in after
the bed-wagon, by means of which the
sufferer was shortly transported to
camp. By the end of the week he
was again in the saddle. How men
escape from this common accident
with injuries SO slight has always puz-
zled me-. The horse rolls completely
over his rider, and yet it seems to be
the rarest thing in the world for the

under bill which was introduced in
the Kentucky House Friday by Repre-
sentative j. Hal Woodford, of thus

lines of the bill which was passed by
the Tennessee Legislature several
years ago, and is very drastic. 1t
makes it unlawful for any person to
pass notes to a school girl while she is
walking along the street with the
other girls under the charge of q teach

about the school and annoying the
pupils or the teachers. The usual
tactics Of college boy who is enamor-
ed of some pretty-faced girl in board
ing school, but who is not allowed to
see her, are accurately described in
the bill, and all of this is placed under
the ban of the law. making it punisha-
bic by fine or Imprisonment.
MIR. WoodfOrd said that the purpose
o. the bill was to protect the boar iire
schools from annoyance and to give
