Of no consequence? Oh, but wait oefore you say so. These plays are principally beauty shows, and devices to display their girls singularly are consequential factors.

The play Is in a prologue one act and an epilogue. The hrst, with rlcn humor, exposes the small meanness of the little households: the second, almost wholly in series of hreside chats with the stranger, reveals the soul-awakening of the sordid circle; the last discovers them a happy group of friends, cheerful in doing Tor one another, yet unconscious Of any sac rifce or self-virtue. So then there IS no longer need of the stranger. Every one is sorry he is going. The last he takes leave of Is the slavey. The room is dark When he Is gone the girl covers her face and cries lone somely. Then. looking toward the door through which the stranger has dis- appeared, she sees the shaft or hght still within the house. It seems to en- velop her. Cheerfully she turns to her work. which, before, was oruogery- and thus we leave the little boarding house.

Civil War Days And Now

A correspondent asks for II compare

over eight millions and for the decade
prior thereto the increase was six
millions, showing ratio of increase
which shonld have equaled ten millions
between 1860 and 1870, but the increase
was only seven millions. which would
indicate that the mighty struggle lost
to this nation approximately three
million people, partly accounted for in
the deaths on the battletields and in
camps, the reduced birth rate and the
retorled flow of immigration, hut the

A Hot Game Al Eurekn

The Elko base ball club and bunch
of Elko rooters returned from Eureka
last night with another victory to their
credit, having got away with the
Eureka clubs bacon by the score of 10
to 8. The game was closely contested
mp to the close of the 9th inning, the
score standing to ; i'll favor of Eureka.
In the 7th inning Elko made 3 tallies
and Eureka was whitewashed. In the
Sth Elko Tailed runs and Eureka l..
Elko made = more tallies in the 9th and
Eureka took Il goose egg, making the
score stand II to 3 in favor of Elko.
From the reports in circulation last
night, the game must have resembled a
Kilkenny fight more than II friendly
contest. 1t was reported that Joe
the Eureka players with n rock after
being struck with hat and that Il
general fight had taken place and the
Elko boys wero coming home sadly dis
figured. We are happy to say that the
reports were greatly exaggerated.
From a reliable person who witnessed
the game, we learned that Mr. Snelson
was not feeling well and another player
took his place. He then went to the
first base to coach the ElIo boys, when
j. Mallen, the Bird baseman of the
Eureka team, left his post and went to
LIST base and pushed Snclson away from
the coaching line. Snelson then picked
up rock and threw it at Mallen, strik-
ing him i'll the breast. Mallen then
went for SnelsOn again and received a
blow over the left temple from another
rock. This started riot and for time
things were pretty warm. The Elko
boys protected Snelson until deputy
sheriff arrived and took him into
custody. He was taken to town and
turued over to Sheriff Mahoney, who
treated him nicely. When the game
was over, the district attorney made Il
complaint against Snelson and assessed
his punishment at $40 fine, an unusual
proceeding for district attorney. The
fine was paid and Mr.. Snelson returned
with the crowd.

Mild Laxative
for Baby Free

The child of today is the parent of
the future, and whether it grows up
healthy and strong, or puny and weak,
depends upon the intelligence of its
parents, for most children are born
into the world healthy, but thousands
become future weaklings between
birth and the age of ten, when the
parents are still in greatest control.
The prime cause Of trouble is in the
stomach. A baby that is digesting Its
food seldom cries and always looks cheer
full; the little child whose stomach is good
romps and plays and never witness; the
growing child learns well at school and Is
eager for fun if its head is clear and its
no constipation.
The best and safest way to cure any
frregularity of the stomach and bowels
in children is by the use OF DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin. This is liquid laxative
wonderful in its effect as Mrs. John ".
Durham, Apple Creek, O., Mrs. H. L.
Cullam, Plainville, Ind, and. numerous
others can testify who give 1t TO their
children with extraordinary results.
A bottle only costs 80 cents or 81 ac-
cording to the size you want, and even
one 50-cent bottle will do a wonderful
amount Of good in family. It can be
constipation, sour stomach, indigestion.
torpid liver, dyspepsia, heartburn. sick
headache and similar digestive. troubles
It never gripes or strangles ike pills.
tablets, salts and powders, which should
not be given to children, women or old
folks.
the family who needs, but has never used
this grand laxative tonic, send your name
and address to the doctor and free trial
bottle will be sent to your home. In this
way you can find out what it will do
without personal expense.
