1.-THE Lion the Mouse"
Charles Klein's American play,
THE Lion and. the Mouse" which
Henry B. Harris will produce here on
Saturday matinee and night, March
6 has won from audiences in all the
larger cities the most cordial demon
strations of approval and 1t has GER
tainly taken rank as the notable sue
cess of the new century. Deservedly
is this so for it is a finely effective
dramatic presentation of a subject
that is at present a paramount inter-
est with the American people-the
corruption of the civil government by
the power of the concentrated wealth.
1.-THE Land Of Nod"
The Land of Nod" a musical ex-
travaganza which has achieved a de-
gree Of success which is the amaze
ment of the stage world. will be pre-
scented at the Gennett theater March
4. In the history of the theater in
this country there has not been a pro-
duction which has achieved a record
of success anything like that which
is unanimously accorded The Land
of Nod" 1t has been performed con-
tinuously for three years in the lead
ing cities of the west and south. and
1t has drawn capacity audiences ev-
erywhere, even upon its third and
fourth engagements. The reason for
this is found in the fact that this pro-
duction combines all the elements
which are calculated to amuse, enter
tain and delight all who witness it,
from he beginning of the perform
ance to its conclusion.
The New Phillips.

rather comprehensive vaudeville bill

b Stomach
Of the Child
10 the Organ All Parents Should Pro-
tect and Keep Normal.

The stomach of a child is the organ
above all others Upon which the future
Of a child depends. Bodily develop
ment is fast in children. and the nour-
ishment necessary to meet such devei-
opment is the one essential demanded
from a parent. Most mothers and
fathers jealousy guard a child from
the formation of bad habits. yet in this
age our children early become the vic
Tins of wrong food, over eating and
irregular meals.
It is most appalling to know the et-
feet of stomach troubles among our
children.
Most children who are nervous irri-
table and cross, who dream, sleep rest
lessly, who tire easily and have no de-
sire for child exercise. generally have
stomach trouble, indigestion and dys-
pepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are in
tended to thoroughly digest food and
to place the system in shape to obtain
all the nourishment it needs from such
food.
These tablets mix with the Juices Of
the system, enriching them and giving
to the body the ingredients necessary
to build up the rapidly forming brain
and body of the young.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should
be given to children after each meal
and at bed time. They are made
from pure vegetable and fruit essences
and contain no harmful chemicals
whatever. The use of these tablets
will give greater vim to a child in its
school work or at its play. They will
produce appetite and soothe nerves, de-
stroy abnormal cravings and will allay
the bad effects of sweets and such i'm
proper foods as most children enjoy
and will eat no matter what is done to
prevent it.
1t is due the child that his stomach
be protected by the parent, and if Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are given after
meals, the habits of the child will not
tear down the stomach and destroy the
digestive juices nearly so rapidly. Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are given to
each and every degree Of life. Amy
condition of the stomach welcomes
them, from h strongest to the weak
est. For sale by all druggists, price

in 1905 in the midst of his celebrated
controversy with General Wilkinson
regarding the wearing Of his cue Colo

III, 800 remains for a monument. The
question of the monument will be taken
up at a later meeting.
About 9 O'Clock the night of Sept. s.
as Ernest Newcomb of Waterbury was
returning from the store and postofie
where he is employed, be was suddenly
accosted by a strange man who sprang
toward him, throwing up his hands and
saying: "Hold up your hands, As
there had been rumores of some person
disturbing the residents for the past week
and as Newcomb had the p~ostofice mon
ey, he thought it might be this man, so he
drew his revolver to protect himself. To
his inquiry of "Who are you ~ he re-
ceived no answer, and thinking his as
sailant also held a revolver, he fired his
own, taking off the end of the others
finger and grazing the arm. 1t was then
discovered the fellow was Julian Fisk, a
neighbor of Newcomb, who was out for a
little fun, with no intention of robbery.
Mr.. Newcomb took him to his home aud
called a physician.
The legislature Of 1905 passed a Law
requiring the national banks Of the
state TO pay a tax of 7-20 of one per cent
s~emi-annually OF the average amount Of
deposits in their savings departments
during each six months prior to April ]
and October l each year. The first tax
paid by the banks under this law was
the tax due fer the six months proceed
ing October 1, 1907. Since that time all
the banks of the state that fled stipula-
lions with the state commissioner Of
taxes have paid the tax when due, with
the exception OF the Clement National
bank Of Rutland. This bank paid the tax
due on the first three periods, but has not
paid the tax due April /. 1909. II is
understood that the state is to bring a suit
in the September term OF Rutland county
court to collect the tax, although the writ
has not been served yet. II is under
stood that the Clement bank will make a
test case on the grounds that the law is
unconstitutional.

Woodstock Patternea Great Eastern

Woodstock Patterned Great Eastern.
1t is not known If elsewhere in the
world, apart from his own works, there
is a monument to Isambard Kingdom
Brunei, designer and builder of the
steamship, Great Eastern, famou in its
day, but in the village of Woodstock,
Vermont, there is today maintained a
park, the dimensions and size of which
exactly correspond to those of the Great
Eastern, and which is wonderful for its
green and living elms OF exceeding
beauty. 1t is in New England a living
reminder Of his genius and his greatest
work in ships. There attaches almost
as much interest to the park as to the
man, especially to such as treasure snces-
try back to pioneers and settlers. The
park did not assume its present shape
until 1875. One Of the largest con-
tributors to the improvement of the PARK
was Frederick Billings; the present man
ager of his estate recently wrote that
"the Woodstock park is IDENTICAL in
size with the Great Eastern. This has
been the talk ever since that ship arrived
in Portsmouth for the first time"
Thus are Old and New England Joined
in Portsmouth and Woodstock through
this monument of grass and trees.

QAc
.4eu IiA


do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound?"
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 80 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's expert
ence with Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas@"W When L first began taking Lydia L. Pink
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. 1 had tried several doctors medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
"FOr three years i lived on medicines and thought 1 would
never get well, when / read an advertisement of Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. and was advised to try it,
"My husband got m one bottle of the Compound, and il did
me SO much good i continued its use. L am now a well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
81 advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
regret it, for it will surely cure you"-Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
$40 Cleveland St, Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

Guy n. Start 4 SuIcIde.

Guy H. Start, son Of the late Judge
Henry r. Start Of Bakersfield, committed
suicide Thursday morning while ct st.
Albans. Mr.. Start drove 10 st. Adams
from Bakersfield that morning, accom-
panied by q friend, to appear in a law
case in which he was interested. He
reached ST. Adams at $3.50 and drove to
Browns stable. He stepped under q
shed near the stable, drew a revolver
and shot himself in the temple.
The shot was heard by several persons
but no particular attention was paid to
it as it did not seem to come from the
direction Of the shed. About fifteen
minutes later he was found BY a work
man living in an unconscious condition
under the shed. Help was Immediately
summoned and he was conveyed to st.
Adams hospital, where he expired two
hours later, never regaining conscious
ness.
Mr.. Start had appeared somewhat
melancholy Of late, but no reason can be
assigned for the act unless it may have
been financial troubles. There was no
indication by his conversation while
driving there that morning that such an
act was in his mind as he appeared in
his usual manner.
Mr.. Start was born in Bakersfield in
1873. He represented the town in the
legislature in 1904. He is survived
by q wife and young daughter.

cENTERvlLLE,s INTERuReAN.

An interurban proposition at Center
vile has reached the stage where
bonds are being sold to finance line
from that place to Mystic and another
line is in prospect from Centerville to
Cincinnati. The Mystic line will CON
meet Centerville with the Milwaukee
road and the Cincinnati line will con-
meet Centerville with the Chicago, Bur
lington & Kansas City. The Center
vile Citizen shows the Importance Of
the line now assured and the projected
line in an article which is reproduced
in the Courier today, portion Of
which is quoted here:
"On the Rock Island, the st. Paul
and the G. B. & K. c. there is not a
real first-class city till you reach Kan
sas City. All that territory belongs
to Centerville until we meet Kansas
City coming this way. There is room
then for a half dozen wholesale houses
located at Centerville because they
can do business in the territory with
new lines at slightly reduced cost
over the wholesalers from Keokuk.
Quincy, Burlington, Ottumwa and Das
Moines."
This just gives an indication of the
enthusiasm in some of the other cities
for interurban building 1t is warn
ing, too that Ottumwa cannot afford
to remain idle just because at present
it has railroad facilities that give us a
great advantage over competitors in
other fields. The article from the Cen
terville paper Is an evidence that the
interurbans will make that city rail
road center by tapping all the lines
within reach. Other cities in southern
and southeastern Iowa may find it
profitable to proceed along the same
lines. 1t is up to Ottumwa now that
the interurban matter has passed the
preliminary stage and got to place
where real progress may be made, to
get into the interurban building game
in earnest. This is one place where
a great advantage is to be gained by
setting the pace.
