DEL LAWRENCE TO
OPEN AMERICA THEATER

Manager John L.. Hoppe, manag-
er of Spokane's fine new American
theater, dispelled an uncertainty
this afternoon when he definitely
announced that the new playhouse
would be opened and dedicated on
Christmas evening with the well
known Del S. Lawrence company
as the opening attraction. This or
ganization, immensely popular in
local circles, will leave Seattle to-
morrow night, after just complet-
ing an almost unprecedented run
of over 500 performances without a
failure. Next week they put the
polishing touches on their initial
the tight wire. Their dancing on
the wire is said-to be particularly
bill here-a play they have been
rehearsing for weeks.
The opening bill will be James
X. Jackets and Mary Mannering' s
greatest success, The Walls of
Jericho" This piece, written by
the famous dramatist Alfred Sutro,
was their starring vehicle during
their long run in New York and
triumphal tour of the United

States. A drama of modern so
ciety, 1t will prove to be splendid
play to re-introduce the Lawrence
company to Spokane. The gowns
of the ladies', as demanded by this
bill, have been imported especially
for this production and will prove
something of a revelation.
Owing to the fact that the Del S.
Lawrence company has been en-
gagged for a period of some length
"a year or mOre-they are enabled
by a generous outlay in preparing
productions, to maintain the price
scale of Is cents. 25 cents and so
cents.
AS it will return to Spokane, the
company includes the following
players: Del S. Lawrence, leading
man; Miss Jane Kelton, leading
lady; George Webb, juvenile; ALI.

The Washington bill for next
week is one of dual distinction, for
it not only contains an extensive
list of high class numbers, but Is
particularly noteworthy and espe-
cially attractive because of the re-
turn engagement of Miss Mabel
Mckinley. Miss Mckinley was very
popular on her first visit to SpO-
kane, and no doubt will be very
pleasing with her refreshing songs
and charming personality which
has won for her the title of "The
Empress of the American Stage"
Miss Mckinley will also display
some of her newest costumes,
which are gorgeous in design and
costume beauty.
Another feature of interest will
be Emily Dodd and her company OF
players who will present a dram
fatic playlet entitled, "The Awaken
| ing of Lucille" The little drama is
from the pen of Ben C. Mason

The death. of Stanley Prindle a
nls home at Hoisington at 1:3C
Monday morning removes one Of
the best known men in Barton
county, especially IN the central
and northern part of the county.
He was suddenly stricken with az
pOplexy while performing his du.
ties In the post office last Friday,
and fingered near death until his
uemise.
He first settled in Union town
ship at an early date in the his
tory of the county, taking a home
stead. He lived on this place IN
til a few years ago, when he NOV
ed with his family to H6iSingtOn,
where he has since resided. For
some time he has been assisting
Postmaster Vincent in the work
about the office.
Mr.. Prindle was an old soldier
and was about 10 years of age.
In the past thirty years there has
been but few republican cOnven-
tons in Barton county that Mr..
Prindle has not attended as a del
egate. He has always been an
active and ardent worker in the
republican party and was at one
time hOnOred by being named as
the party candidate for probate
judge, but went down with the
rest of the party that year to de-
feat.
He leaves a brother and several
children who live in and near

THEY GROW HAIR.
Certain Ingredients if Properly
Combined Stimulate Human
Hair Growth.

ReSOrcin is one Of the most eff
fective germ desroyers ever dis
covered. Beta-napthOl is "a most
powerful, yet absolutely safe ger
micide and antiseptic, which pre-
vents development of grem matter
and creates a clean, healthy con-
ditiOn.
Ploearpine, although not a col
Oring matter or dye, is an ingre-
dent well established for its pow
er to restore natural color to hui
man hair.
BOrax, because of its well-de-
fined sOftening and cleansing
properties, is most useful in the.
treatment of scalp and hair dis
eases. Glycerine acts as a slim
ulant to the hair bulbs, and has a
soothing, healing and nOurishing
influence. Alcohol is indispensable
in medicine because of its antiSep-
tic, stimulating and preservative
qualities.
Rexall 1893" Hair Tonic is chef
ly jcOmpOSed of these ingredients,
which are compounded in a pecul-,
lar form,a nd we believe it is the
most effective remedy known to
meulcal science for scalp and hair
troubles generally. We person
ally guarantee it to eradicate dan
ruff and scalp irritatiOnS and to
grow hair even though the scalp
in spots is bare of hair, providing
of course, there is life and vital
ity remaining in the hair roots.
We want everyone troubled with
scalp disease, dandruff or loss of
hair to try Rexall 1893" Hair Ton
ic. If it does not remove dand-
ruff and promote a growth of
hair to the satisfaction of the; US
er, we will withuOt question or

Call for Good Road Conference.

In response to a very general
demand from the people for i'm
proved roads, from the travelling
public, and in behalf Of the bust
ness interests of the municipali-
ties through which the proposed
road will pass, the following call
is issued for a good road meeting
to be held in the opera house In
the city of DightOn, Kansas, on
Tuesday, February 9Th, 1910, at
nine o'clock a. m.
The proposed road is to extend
from Salina via Great Bend and
then west through Barton, Rush,
Ness, Lane, Scott, Wichita and
Greeley counties in the State Of
Kansas, and through KiOwa, Of
gro and Pueblo counties in Colo
RADIO, then ON to Colorado Springs
enlist the active cooperation OF
every municipality and business
organization along the line Of the
proposed road. They are urgent
ly requested to name at least
three delegates each to this con-
ference; and that all newspaper
@ men and mayors and chairmen Of
boards of county commissioners
are to be delegates ex-OffieiO.
The purpose of this conference
is to establish and maintain a
recognized inter state highway
from Salina via Great Bend to
Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Del
yer. ....... -.r.,
The success of this undertake
ing depends altogether on the CO
operation of the officers of the
townships, counties, city councils
and the various industrial and
commercial organizations along
the proposed line.
The benefits of such a road as
is proposed are too obvious to
need urging. 1t will not only ben
eft the people of the townships
direct, in affOrdmg good means
of communication to market, but
it will appeal to the home seeker
and investor, besides inviting the
presence of an increasing number
of tourists, and in some measure
every city, town and county will
be directly helped. Every dele
gate named is urged to be pres,
ent and every community is es-
pccially urged to lend its assist
ance to the accomplishment of a
commendable enterprise.
The names of delegates from
the several counties should be
sent to the Secretary of the In
dustrial ulub at DightOn, Kan
sas, as soon as possible.
