The tariff bill as it will pass, while
greatly increasing the cost of living,
will not raise revenue enough to meet
the needs of the government. To meet
the deficit the high tax gang now pro-
pose to issue bonds. To issue bonds in
time of peace in this land of plenty is a
disgrace and shame. A decent tariff
for revenue, instead of robbery, and an
honest administration would save rs
from this contemplate act. Will the
people never understand that they are
being robbed and that the robbers are
planning to rob even future generations:

An aching back is instantly relieved by an application of Sloan's Liniment.
 This liniment takes the place of massage and is better than sticky plasters. It penetrates without rubbing through the skin and muscular tissue right to the bone, quickens the blood, relieves congestion, and gives permanent as well as temporary relief.

led it in a most creditable manner
Her song THE Haunts of the Witch

numbers of the evening. She was
assisted in this number by the seven
weird sisters, Misses Esther Hinman,
Anna Kit, Gertrude Rupp, Anne
Allen, Helen Bunting, Leila Wells
and Ethel Blackwell. Mrs. Foote'S
transformation from witch into the
young and beautiful maiden in the
last act was dainty feature and
brought the young woman much ap-
plause.
f. A. Sherman took the role of the
"Scarecrow," that extraordinary and
extremely difficult creation of the
author of the Wizard of o." Put
Mr.. Sherman knew we'll how to delin-
cate this droll, unusual and comical
parsonage, the scarecrow come to
life and in search of brains. and he
was responsible for as much merri-
ment as any of the principals. His
scarecrow pose during the greater
part of the first act was a splendid
piece of work and then throughout
the rest of the performance his quaint
actions, his dry but telling comic
speech. his startling makeup, kept
everybody laughing. Mr.. Sherman
let no opportunity pass to add to the
merriment of his part and he cer-
tainly deserves much of the credit

role of the Tin Woodman" proved
one of the stars of the evening and
he certainly had the audience going
his way" at all times last night. Mr..
Mckee was fine, He was great. The
Tin Woodman is marvellous char
acter fun producer with but few
equals in the galaxy of coined ians
and Mr.. Mckee gave a delineation of
the part last night that pleased every
body. His stunts were irresistible and
his music numbers were charming
Mr. Mckee is an actor of decided abil-
ity and a singer of far more than
ordinary talent and his work last
night made him many new admir-
ers.
