presented at the Lyceum Theatre for
the entire week starting with the next
Sundays matinee and including the
usual 25c matinees Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday, promises to duplicate
its big success of last season accord
ing to theatrical forecasters. The
principal roles are in the same capa-
BILE hands with Herman Timberg as
Izzy Levi, the young migrant, who
loses his violin and tries to find it
with his girl sweetheart, the plot be-
ing based on this incident. The set
tings show school yard, the interior
of schoolroom and fashionable
home during a lawn reception and
party.
Herman Timberg is considered by
many as the greatest comedian for
his years on the stage. He can also
sing, dance ond play the violin. Jack
Manley as Bitf Dugan," with big
voice and plenty of ability, Daniel
Murphy, the German lad and Dan
Coleman as Tommy Tatters," lead
the male contingent. Edna Reming
Alma Bauer, Dolly Dupree, Evelyn
Downer, and Caroline Stanly are
among the women principals. Miss
Reming gives the role of "Nonnie" a
newer and fresher personality.
Some twenty five new musical num-
bers are promised and tremendous
hits will be scored with three new
songs, "My Ju-Ju Babe, "Take Me
Back to Kidland" and Little Snow
flake" written by Timberg. The
dancing finale of the ingenious cleo
trical effects are retained.
School Days" is clean. wholesome
and entertaining and lovers, of good
musical comedy Will flock to'the thea
tire to see this attraction. Its former
succes here Will undoubtedly be dup

KIND CAPTAIN KIDD.
His Wiokedness and Buried Treasure
Both Said to Be Myths.

Both Said to Be Myths.
Doomed to an infamy undeserved.
his name reddened with crimes he
never committed and made wildly ro-
mantle by tales of treasure which he
did not bury. Captain William Kidd is
fairly entitled to the sympathy of pos.
terity and the apologies of all the bal
lad makers and alleged historians who
have obscured the facts in a cloud of
fable.
Fate has played the strangest tricks
with the memory of this seventeenth
century seafarer. who never cut a
throat nor made victim walk the
plank. who was no more than an anna
teur pirate in an era when this inter
esting profession was in its heyday
and who was hanged at Execution dock
for the excessively unromantic crime
of cracking the skull of his gunner
with a wooden bucket because, for
sooth. his majesty's officers were un
able to prove their charges of piracy.
As for the riches of Captain Kidd.
the original documents in his case, pre-
served among the state papers Of the
public record Office in London. relate
with much detail what booty he had
and what he did with it. Alas. they
reveal the futurity of the searches aft
er the stout sea chest buried above
high water mark. The only authen-
tic Kidd treasure was dug up and in
ventoried more than 200 years ago, nor
has the slightest clew to any other
been found since then.-"Romances of

TRUTH TRIUMPHS
Perrysburs Citizens Testify for tho
Public Benefit.

Perrysburs Citizens Testify for the
Public Benefit.
A truthful statement of a Perrys-
burg citizen, given in his own words,
should convince the most skeptical
about the merits of Doan's Kidney
Pills. If you suffer from backache,
nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary
disorders or any form of kidney ills,
the cure is at hand. Read this:
Mrs. Caroline Walters, Sixth and
Cherry Sts., Perrysburg, Ohio. says:
II cannot say too much in praise of
Doan's Kidney Pills, after having so
satisfactory an experience with them.
My kidneys bothered me for about a
year and was subject to sharp
pains in my back, often shooting
through my shoulders and into the
back of my neck. When the attacks
came on, could hardly arise from a
chair. Dizzy spells and headaches
were common and felt miserable in
every way. I had heard and read a
great deal about Doan's Kidney Pills
being good for such troubles and this
induced me to try them. This remedy
acted promptly and in short time my
back was entirely free from pain and
lameness. Doan's Kidney Pills so
greatly improved my condition that I
now feel like different person."
Statement given July 20, 19O6.)
Permanently Cured.
Mrs. Walters confirmed the above
testimonials on May II, 1909. saying:
"Doan's Kidney Pills made a perma-
nent cure in my case. still recon-
mend this remedy highly and am will
ing to have you use my former state
ment in any way you see fit."
