W0MAN'S TEMPTATION
 4 WELL PLAYED BILL
Third Avenue Theater Will Be Dark Tonight the Company Playing in Mesa.

"A Woman's Temptation" by Der tha NJ. Clay sounds very melodramatic and weird. but it is q pleasant sur prise to see the version presented by the Streeter- Bryan company at the Third Avenue theater. It is a melO drama to a greater or less degree, but is tempered and smoothed down with bits of comedy and good settings. To those who have never read the story be it said the play centers around the marriage of Olive Glenn to General Mark Lester. The general practically owns a nisland in the West Indies and is very wealthy. He loans money to Olives father and from a sense of duty. Olive allows him to propose and finally marries him. On the island the half brother plots against her and in duces Mark to believe she is slowly poisoning him. Of course 1t is the half brother who is the guilty one and eventually of course Mark discovers it. And they live happy ever after.
 There is a former lover in the line of play and he tries to induce Olive to fly with him after she is married. This must be the Temptation" all though the scene is hardly strong enough to warrant the title. Howeser it makes a. reason for the play-and what more would one want.
 Miss Bryan was unusually lovely in the role of Olive. She wears stunning clothes and is winsome and dainty. AIorrie Streeter as the general does good work. and very kindly leaves off the haokneyed military" clothes that so many actors feel must be worn if they happen to act a part with a title attached.
 In the first act Anna Heidelle and Herbert Carlyle have a hypnotic stunt that is Imaginable and really clever. They work together nicely and were rewarded with much applause. The the best character bit Is Frank Weeks darky servant He is admirable as 'Tbenezer'' who is a ''gem'men ob cullur"
 The theater will be dark tonight as the company will be in Mesa. Tues day and Wednesday evening will be devoted to the same play and Thurs day night will commence "A Thief's

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women 1 am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter" "-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED, GraniteYille, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years 1t has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, alteration, local weak nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs Barclay ysays, it is worth moun- tains of gold " to suffering women.

terminus of the Union Pacific railroad where our surveys determined the proper locality-at Council Bluffs, Ia.
 After this discussion of the lOca- tion, he took up with me the question of building the road. The law of 1862 had failed to bring any capital or men to undertake the work, and l said to him that in my opinion private enter lprise could not build the road. MT. Lincoln said that the government had its hands full, and could not assume the task, but was ready to support any f company to the fullest legal extent, (and amend the law so as to enable such Q company to issue securities that would furnish the necessary funds"
 While President Lincoln is remem- bered for his personal interest in the cases of condemned military offenders, there are not few such which have never been known % the public. One of these General Dodge relates.
 While in command of the Depart ment of Missouri" says he, T daily saw what a kind heart MT Lincoln had. how his sympthy went out to everyone in trouble and how his great desire was to save life. The conflict in Missouri was a bitter. personal, re- vengeful one. I remember the day be- fore President Lincolns assassination a lady came to see me whose son was about to be executed for murder com mitted as a guerrilla. She had been to Washington to save him and had seen the president. She brought me MT Lincoln's card, on the back of which he had written: My dear Gen eral Dodge: Cannot you do some thing for this lady, who is in much trouble?'
 T understood the case; that, while he would not interfere, he hoped that could see my way to do so, and he disposed of the lady in that way. The lady, in presenting the case, supposed that card alone would pardon her son, but when I told her I would consider it. she was indignant, and left, no doubt determined to report me to the president and appeal over my head. That evening President Lincoln was assassinated. All officers holding i'm portant commands were notified in the night, so that they could prepare for the excitement that was bound to come. I was especially cautioned to prepare for trouble in Missouri. It was thought the crime would anger the Union men in the state and cause an uprising and acts of revenge upon the rebel sympathizers. I brought in to the city of St Louis such troops as were near, and issued an order suspending all business, warning both sides to remain in their houses, and prohibiting any gathering of crowds on the streets. But I found that the southern people were more distressed at the great crime, if possible, than the Union sympathizers. The streets of St. Louis were desrted for two days, and there was nothing but sorrow eX- hibited on both sides.
 'The lady called the next day and asked me for the card. She said she desired to keep it as a memento, no doubt giving up all hope for her son, but T did not have it in my heart, after Lincoln's death, to carry out the order of the court, and therefore com muted the sentence to imprisonment" !"
