To Frierds. Citizens and Patrons:
The old yeaf has just closed with its
obstacles overcome. setbacks suffered,
joys and SORROWS adjusted, and time
passing swiftly by. The sun shines
in its glory with brighter rays and
appreclative warmth than ever be-
fore to those who have availed them
selves of the Keeley Cure, and
brought happiness, comfort and plen-
ty to their Household. The tradi-
tional Shiny serpent Of the Garden of
Eden Is removed from many homes
by their accepting the cure and re-
form, and to the personal knowledge
of the writer many thousands of
homes once burdened by the curse OF
drunkenness brought down to the low
condition of squalor and disease are
now transformed to Ravens of bliss
and paradises of rest.
Any one who Ia undergoing the
burdensome obstacles of Alcohol,
Drugs. Cigarettes also Neurasthenia,
and the effects of such indulgence,
can make life, home and happiness
their sublime reality II they will turn
their course from the old beaten
tread via of the saloon or drinking
chum to the Kelley Institute for cor
rection and restoration. Written In
all sincerity to those who are slaves
to the disease Of inebriety. 3m2

For three weeks it has been crowded
to the doors at every performance

largely been responsible for this con-
dition of affairs. Certainly nothing
like it has been seen on the stage
in vaudeville or anywhere else. This
week Mr.. Keith is going step fur
Their and has especially engaged the
Countess de Perriefeu, the Boston
society lady who created a sensation
few weeks ago by appearing in
barefoot dances at Jordan hall.
Miss Fuller Is continually adding
new features to her remarkable bal
let and so great has been it's success
that arrangements have already been
completed by Mr.. Keith for one of the
most remarkable tours ever ar
ranged for vaudeville. The entire
Boston production will be placed in
the Keith houses in other cities at
the conclusion of the Boston engage
ment.

The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the

has been eating oatmeal and trying all

SHOT A MOUNTAIN GOAT.
John A. Worley Bags Big Game in
Montana Mountains.

John A. WorIey of I'LL Monroe
street, has returned from ten days
hunting trip in Montana and Idaho
and individually succeeded in bagging a
large mountain goat and deer. The
party which was composed of DIR. j.
H. Outland of Kansas City, formerly
of Topeka, Arthur Stocks, DR.. G. Hull,
DIR. Macy Cowgirl of Kansas City, and
Mr.. Worley of Topeka, left Kansas
City early in the month for western
hunting trip.
With the party were three guides
and a cook. Eighteen horses were
also taken with the party from Hamfl-
ton, Montana, to which point the party
other members of the party returned
home Saturday. At that time four
mountain goats and three deer had
been killed. It was Worley who cap
tured the lions share of the game.
"It was a great trip said Worley
in recounting the events of the outing.
1--WE had to be mighty cautious in
hunting the goats and usually found
them in pairs in the basins of the di-
vide. They are not very wild, are
really lazy and can not run fast, but it
is necessary to walk a great distance
in order to get a good shot [ sue

the goat I shot, and was within SO
specimens. The goat, I was told, was
one of the finest ever killed in that
coutry. It weighed nearly 800 pounds
and the head is now in charge of an
expert taxidermist-"
The hunting license in Montana,
WorIey said, is the nominal sum of
$25. One person is permitted to kill
three deer during a season, but not
more than one goat. "I believe we
could have shot a wagon load of them
had we tried said Worley.
"While fishing one day, DR.. Outland
and I caught 35 fine trout which
weighed a pound to a pound and a
half. Farther up the stream we caught
several trout that weighed 2 Y to 8
pounds and they furnished great

ARTIST CHASE BACK.
Says New Tariff Law Will Induce
Counterfeit Pictures.

New York. Oct. 25.-William Chase
the artist. who has just returned to
New York from his annual trip to
Italy, fears that the new tariff law
regarding the admission of paintings
without duty, will greatly increase the
number of spurious old masters in this
country.
There is an increasing demand for
old paintings in America" he says,
land Europe is striving hard to salts
fly it. The flood of counterfeit pic
lures is amazing. The worst of the
matter is that it is almost impossible
to detect them. They are done so clev-
erly that even experts are not certain
about their value. You would think
that artists who could do such work
would turn their talents into legitimate
channels. Some of them are hired to
copy by INSCRIPTIONS dealers and few
of them get more than a starvation
wage for their labor.
"A considerable proportion of their
work probably goes unchallenged.

thousand canvases in his life time.
