A Great Attraction al MoberIy.

After witnessing ."The Lion

Harris will offer at Hallorar's

that it possesses every essential
of perfectly constructed play.
In dramatic strength it is un-.
equalled by anything seen on the
stage for a generation; it's story
is fascinstingly..s ..sinteresting and
intensely human; the.characters
are men and women prominent
in the social, financialsand polit.

made to act just like the types

Burglary at Whitman .

The Wabash depot at Whitman
was burglarizedI Thursday.night
of last week and the burglary is
supposed to have been commit.
ted by atraup who was seen about
6:15 O'Clock p. m. passing the
Whitman hotel whore J. A.
Bowen, the Wabash sgeas q
Whitman, boards:
An entrance was gained to.
the depot by prying open the
east south window, after which
the bold intruder proceeded to
ransack the premises. He scat.
tered tickets and papers all over
the floor, but took none of these
as he was evidently in quest of
cash and failed,to find it.
Mr.. Bowen when the weather
is bad prepares his own meals at
the depot, and the tramp must
have enjoyed himself as only q
tramp can when he found about
a loaf and half of light bread,
some bacon, canned goods and
preserves. He ate all of the
grub he could and then packed
the remainder in a basket and
went his way without leaving his
address, his photograph or even
a note of thanks.

l-EATHERED OUR NEST.

It would seem from a letter we
received Friday, April II, that we
are regarded by one person, at
least, as having ''feathered our
nest" during the recent local
option campaign in Charlton
county. The writer of the letter
signs himself as "Rev. G.. J. P.,"
and the envelope bears the post
mark of Brunswick, Mo-, but it
is our opinion that the amusing
cuss who penned the lines is
not a "reverend," but a low
bred cur who wouldn't know a
pulpit from pew, but he might
be able to smell another dog if
if it were notfor the offensiveness
of his own scent.
His anonymous letter, a never
failing sign of a coward, reads as
follows:

Short Road to Misery.

Begin by ~fancying that no q cares
for you; that you are rot Of any use
to anybody-a sort Of nOnentity in
the household, where your place
would not be missed, but easily sup
piled. Reflect on your want of beau
ty, and lead yourself to believe that
no one can love a plain face, or think
you agreeable because there are
others more charming. Fancy that
every q who looks upon you makes
a mental comparison which initiates
against you in favor Of some n else.
Imagine that every word said in jest
is only meant to cover a deeper and
more painful mea1ing-that every
article of wearing apparel you don is
criticised and ridiculed. DO all this
and your tendency to morbidity Of
feeling will SO increase that in a very
short time you will become one of the
most miserable of human beings.

and whereas, we deeply deplore his
loss to our lodge and this community.
He was in life among us a patriotic,

and his purposes were always for that
which was noble, honorable, and ele-
waiting IN all walks Of life. Therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we extend to his

our heartfelt coincidence in this loss
to us all.
Resolved, further. that a copy of

Anyone who has the ability to ask
a question that to him is worth ask
ing, has the capacity to receive an
answer that to him is worth receiv-
ing. A thoughtful child, Oh inquir-
ing the location Of Heaven, was told
by his mother that he could not I'M
derStand her, ever if she explained
it. She vas probably right in SO far
as the child's ability to understand
her was concerned: but she was
wrong In not telling him that the
fault was with herself and not with
him. Had she known as much about
answering him as he knew about
questioning her, there need have
been no trouble about his understand
ing her explanation. There is no
question that a child can seriously
and fairly ask that cannot be rs Seri-
OuSly and fairly answered. To tell a
child or to lead it to infer that it is
too little" 20 know anything more
on any subject about which it already
knows enough to frame IL question, IS
to deny it's capacity for further
growth. 1t is to thrust the child'S
mind into a dungeon, instead of open,
lag it to the light. 1t is to bind it in
letters, instead of giving it freedom
Uf action. Ability to ask, preSup-
poses capacity to receive. And no
questions are better worth answering
or worth better answers than a child'S.

Mr.. C. D. Mitchell, of 2412 Avenue

medicine: Il have been troubled with
indigestion and stomach trouble for

bowels, palpitation of the heart, pain
in the lower part Of my back, and
various other symptoms, and was a

so. In one weeks time / was i'm

says: II was troubled with indigestion
for two years. It caused me a great

not dare to eat meat at all, and every
thing I did eat soured on my stomach.

relief. Three mouths ago ! started
