 SEASON TONIGHT.
HARRY YOST TO MAKE TOUR OF THE ANTIPoDEs WITH MUSICAL COMEDY, SAILING FROM FRISCO ON JUNE 1.

The Gayety theatre closes its season tonight, concluding with a matinee this afternoon and a performance tonight by the Boston Bellies, a company which has won great favor here this week by its cleanness and the genuine laughter it pro- duces.
 This will finish the second season of this cozy opera house al spoke in the great burlesque wheel controlled by the Colun- bia Amusement company.

If you suffer pain from any cause, Dr. Miles Anti Pain Pills will relieve it and leave no bad after effects. That's the impor- tant thing. Neither do they create a habit. More often the attacks become less frequent, or disappear altogether. Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills have no other effect except to re- ieve pain and quiet nerv- ous irritation.

 This evidence will be along the line that mistake was made by the murderer in killing Wood; that the person for whom he was lying in ambush was an- other employe of the electric company operating one of the cars on the South Bessemer line. Wood, it is believed, was the victim as the result of being an ex- tra man and having taken the place of another man on a switched run thenight of the killing.
 In addition to this clue one of the con- ductors on the South 3essemer line is said to have had quite a good deal of trouble at different times with several negroes and white men who left the car in the vicinity of the killing, and evidence along this line is being searched for.

At the Gayety.

c. 1T. Batchelder's "Boston Belles' company who opened at the Gayety for the last week of the season is entitled to the credit of deviating from the beaten path by introducing an entire new pro- duction in the burlesque line. The new musical comedy, 'The Wanderer From Nowhere" contains more new and orig inal musical and comedy features than are usually seen in any burlesque com pany. The scenery carried by the "Bos- ton Belles" is new and the costumes worn by both principals and chorus are bound to meet with hearty approval.

Dorothy the infant daughter of D. S. Van Horne of Monroe, Ga, died last night at the residence of her grandfather, A. w.
