ALWAYS REPUBLICAN.
Thirteen Democrats Who Left Friday

turn and 1t Has Been impossible
to Transact Any Business.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb 27.-The leg
islatiye wheels are tied up hard and
fast by the departure from the state
Friday of thirteen administrator
members Of the senate, whose leaving
has made it impossible to transact any
business.
These thirteen members left the city
riday and consequently there was
not a quorum present 1t was rumor-
ed, however, that they would return
today, but such was not the case and
furthermore, there is no telling when
the absent members will return.
Eight of the members are reported
to be at Hopkinsville, Ky. They make
the claim that the state wide demo-
crat and republican are endeayoring
to pass certain election laws which
would put the state absolute in the
hands of the republicans
The situation is rather a puzzling
one and nobody seems able to pre-
dict just what the result will be.

THE MAN OF THE HOUR"
Fine Attraction Witnessed by Two
Large Audiences.

Flhe Attractlon witnessed by Wo
Large Audiences.
George Broadhurst did a topnotch
piece of work when he wrote the
splendid play, The Man of the Hour"
points back of the government of the
cities of the country, shows so plain
ly the rule of the CRATER and the
value of official honesty that it is at
once a matter of interest in any com
munity in America One of Brady's
3est companies presented the attrac-
tive bill to large matinee and night
audiences at the urand yesterday.
TO start with, the production is
splendidly staged, the scenery being
almost in perfect harmony with the
story. The plot strays from the path
of p-todate politics long enough to
weave a pretty little romance into it,
which of course adds a new charm to
the whole fabric. The cast last night
was as near perfect as high-class ar
lists could make it and if there is
dull line or an uninteresting event in
tIie performance, lHe large bGuHo WICK
audiences of yesterday failed to find
either of them 1t would be hard to
point to the particular star of the ag-
gregation the cast was sple7,didly
balanced and each of its members did
full justice to his roll
Thomas Chatterton, as Alvin Be1
nett, really the title role, was unus
ually strong and measured up splen-
didly to the many difficult demands of
his role James A. Marcus, as Hor-
rigan, had the average political boss
beat country mile and was one of
the live wires of the evening John
Kelly made a splendid ward alderman
and injected some odd humor into the
bill. Miss Stockwell was piquant and
vivacious, easily reached the climaxes
and wore some very pretty gowns,
while Everett Butterfield was at all
times the typical love sick swain and
all-round good fellow.
In fact there was not flaw in the
entire cast and the management of the
Grand is to be commended for fur
nishing such a thorough high class
production.

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'

cured in so many Instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it Is
reasonable to conclude that it Is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases OF a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost Of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions. and
if it does not benefit he will re.
turn your money.
