1t is the story of Damon, a senator
of Syracuse, who is sentenced to death.
Pythias becomes q hostage for Damon,
who goes to see his wife, the fair
Calanthe, but fails to return on time.
The execution takes place, and Billiken,
the god of luckiness, Is called upon to
restore him to life.
There are sixteen characters and
three acts.
The stage and scenery have been

There will be excellent musical num-

Dionysius, the tyrant of Syracuse, at

peot a modern Interpretation of King

placed in command of the
company. The company attended Her
mosa's banquet in uniform and credit
ably represented the Uniform rank de-
partment at that big affair.
An event that will long be remem-
bered was the twelfth anniversary of
Hermosa lodge, November Is. For
weeks prior committees had been at
work, and each member gave an excel
lent account of his stewardship on the
night of the event. The supreme Off
GERS present under escort of Hermosa's
team and Company No. 2 of the Uni
form rank headed the procession from
Alhambra hall to the banquet room,
where the tables were bountifully laden
with the tempting viands of the season,
to which all did ample justice. John C.
Stick the lodge president, acted as
toastmaster Of the occasion, and in a
very witty vein introduced each speak
er. The following responded to toasts:
James A. Foshay, supreme president;
H. V. Davis, supreme secretary; c. A.
Post, supreme counselor; G. w. Bailey,
Mrs. Guthrie and Margaret r. Keller.
The singing of Hermosa's new lodge
hymn with spirit that indicated fer
vor and appreciation closed the pleas
ant banquet room session, after which
the assemblage of more than 200 per-
sons retired to Alhambra hall, where
the orchestra that had dispensed sweet
strains during the repast delighted the
dancers and merry makers until the
midnight hour, when all adjourned.
Three other city lodges have been in
vited TO assist Hermosa lodge in a class

promise of big meeting and a big
class, consequently a big time.
The most important topic engaging
attention socially in T. T. B. circles is

ing 1t will be the second annual event
of the kind, and will be rendered by
the supreme officers, aided by various
committees, to the new members who
have Joined the order during the three
closing months of the year and to those
who have been instrumental in securing
the members. The function of last year
was a notable event, and no pains will
be spared to make this one equally so.
A preliminary meeting was held No
Vember 10, at which time the commit
tees were appointed, and they are now
busy in selecting their aids and sub
committees.
Company No. installed it's officers
on the evening of November 10. Fully

Supreme Vice President Emma r.

a joint session of Grass Valley and Ne

NERVOUS
DYSPEPSIA
A Topeka Woman Tells. How
the Tonic Treatment with Dr..
Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her.

The processes Of digestion are con.
trolled by the blood and nerves. That
is why the tonic treatment, by which
the blood is built up, has cured so many
cases of stubborn stomach trouble.
Many people are suffering daily from
stomach trouble because they cling to
old fashioned methods, eat predigested
foods and IN other ways aggravate the
disorder they seek to cure.
There can be no real cure in stomach
trouble until the digestive organs are
toned up to do the work that nature in
tended OF them. The only way that
this can be done is through the blood
which plays such an important part in
the processes of digestion.
DR. Williams Pink Pills are not only
a tonic for the stomach but build up the
general health. This is well shown in
the case Of Mrs. Emma Copeland, of No.
1927 North Lake street, Topeka, Kans.
She says:
AFTER treating with doctor for
several months and getting only tempo
rary relief from nervous dyspepsia. /
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
When l began using the pills I was
greatly run down in health and was re-
iduced in weight. There was always
distress after eating. There was pres
sure like weight on my stomach. At
times there would be sour risings and
also great deal of gas from my stom-
ach. had to be careful what ate, for
any greasy food would put me in perfect
misery. I was SO nervous that could
not get any sleep and often had to walk
the floor at night.
Il had taken DR.. Williams Pink Pills
only short time when / could see that
they were helping me. l continued
using them until cured and have had no
trouble with my stomach or nerves since.
gained several pounds in weight.
think DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
splendid remedy and gladly recommend
them"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent by mail,
postpaid, en- receipt of price, so cents per
box; six boxes, $3.50. by the DR., Will.

Examination For Passionate Of ST..
Peters Church OF This City,
to be Held Soon in
Davenport.
DATE IS OCTOBER GOTH
Number Of Priests Who Have Been
in Davenport Diocese For Ten
Years Will Take the
Examination.

Rt Rev. James Davis. bishop OF
Davenport, has issued the official no
tice of the examination to be held in
this diocese for the purpose of secur-
ing rector for ST. Peters Catholic
church in this city, the present va
cancy being caused by the death of
the late Rev. Thomas O'Reilly. AS
stated in The Gate City some time ago
the examination is only open to
priests who have exercised the sacred
ministry in this diocese for at least
ten years.
Not only must the priest who re-
ceives the appointment be well quail
fled in an ecclesiastical way, but he
must be personally fitted for the
parish to which he is to be assigned.
Thus in the present instance 1t is
more than likely that a priest of Irish
descent rather than of some other ma
tionality will be the next pastor.

itself and every show had patronage

1t was great carnival night, and
no mistake, people both old ard young
pranced about and patronizeo every
thing as if they owned majority OF

Fair weather still continues to
shine on Keokuk's gala week and the
rain that was promised for today
seems to be a joke sprung by the
weather man to strike terror to the
hearts of the thousands of visitors
who are enjoying Keokuk's hospitality
this week.
Thursday was the largest day OF
the week in the matter of crowds
many coming to the city to attend the
