''CAST ASIDE" Is
WE'LL PRESENTED
By q Capable Company at the
Ne Theatre Last Evening

"Cas, Aside" a problem play
Of deep emotional interest and
otrength was presented 10 an
audience of fair proportions at
the new theatre last evening
by a very capable and evenly
balanced company of perform.
ers.
A popular ballad of the same
name written by c. X. Harris
and which was sung widely
two or three years ago, was the
inspiration for the construction
of this drama and the strong
story which is told in the song
is heightened very much by the
action in the play.
Problem plays are always
more or less desirable, the ex-
tent of popularity depending
altogether upon how vividly
some truths of modern life are
presented, and "Cast Aside"
approaches nearly enough to
realism to have the moral effect
and yet not offend the sensitive
mind.
The company presenting it
has very evidently studied the
motive which prompted its
adaptation from a song which
had moral in it, and the
drama is given with a careful
attention to details whi c b
makes it very acceptable.
The accompanying scenic ef-
fects are appropriate and artis.
tieally produced, and add much
to the play.-Sioux Falls Daily
Press.
All reports are to the effect
that "Cast Aside" has been
pleasing universally, it will be
presented at Wahpeton Opera
House on Tuesday evening,
March 9TH, at popular prices.

THE HOSPITAL

LII ire course OF his remarks
in the Opera House, on Satur-
day last, Mr.. Hutcheson said
that the hospital was not mere
ly an auxiliary to the Roman
Catholic church but was help
to all denominations. During
the past FIVE years 1903 patients
had been cared for. These
were divided, denominational-
ly, as follows:

Lutheran 4l5
Methodist. 1856
Congregationalist 81
Baptist -. Al
Presbyterian 35-
Protestant Episcopal. .35

No church preference. .173
500 of these were charity pa
tients. The charity patients
average 100 a year. During
1910 there were 200 operative
cases. These were brought
from many parts by the pa
tents own physician-no doc
tor of proper standing being
barred from the operating room
and were tended by the self
sacrificing nurses aud sisters
until health was assured. The
nurses contribute largely to the
recovery of the patient. Their
knowledge of their work, their
sympathy with the suffering
and their untiring care for
those to whom they are asked
to minister make them import.

suits achieved.
Two eminent surgeons have
visited the hospital recently
and proclaimed it perfect in it's
equipment.
1t is a pity that such an in
stitutioE should be burdened
with debt. Yet it is. 100000

the unpaid balance is crippl-
ing the work. Some day this
will be paid. Some day criti-
cisms will be buried in an
avalanche of praise. Some day
the faithful men and women
who are giving their all for the
relief of humanity will see the
results of their soul-travail and
be satisfied. Let US join them
in their toll and together share
the reward.

''Toots" Shultz Signs
A TWO-Year Contract

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 1S.-Pitcher
"Toots" Shultz signed a two-year con-
tract with the PhilIies. Roy Thomas
was given credit for landing the Penn
pitcher for the Phillies, but President
Fogel denied this.
He said that it was entirely due to
the efforts of a personal friend of
Shultz that the star pitcher gave the
Phillies preference over all the other
clubs bidding for his services. Il made
a trip to Pittsburg myself last summer
said Mr.. Fogel. TO get the consent of
ShultZ's parents to allow their son to
join the Phillies should he ever decide to
become a professional"
Shultz IS only twenty-one years of
age and has been pitching about six
years. He started out with Shadyside
Academy, of Pittsburg; went to Mer-
ccrsburg for two years and three years
at Pennsylvania.
Sherwood Magee has practically
agreed on terms with the Philies and is
expected to sign his contract this after
noon. He may sign for two years
Magee witnessed the contract signd by
ShultZ yesterday.

April 1.

James A. McAleer, manager of the
Washington baseball team, arrived in
this city today prepared to take charge
of the baseball machinery, and set 1t
in motion for the season of 1911.
Mr. McAleer, who looked as though
he had Wintered well at his Youngstown
home, took quarters at the Raleigh, and
said he would remain on the ground
till he started for Atlanta on March
with the majority of his team.
The Nationals" said he, will re-
main in Atlanta all the time they are
away, and while they will play few
exhibition games there. they will do no
playing on the way pack.

I'VE shall return to Washington April

GeorEetowns. Previous to the opening
of the pcnnant race on April l., We will
have games with the Philadelphia,
Brooklyn, and Boston National League
teams, but the dates have not been
definitely set.

HOPKINS TRACKMEN
COMING FOR SCALPS
Strong Entries Announced
for the Georgetown
Indoor Games.

BALTIHORE, Feb. 1S.-Managcr Ii. B.
Herring. of the Johns Hopkins track
team. has announced his entries for the
Georgetown indoor games. TO be held at
C"nv ention Hall, Washington, Saturday
evening, March 1
Coach kOCher is planning 10 send over
a large list of Hopkins entries. and he
has high hopes of the Black and Elue
team winning the meet. The Hopkins
sprinters showed their ability last Sat
urdav night when they won first place
in the big Hopkins-Fiftk Regiment in
door games.
Nearly Same Conditions.
The Hopkins athletes will have pretty
much the same conditions facing them
in the Georgetown meet, except that
the University of Virginia will be rep
resented by its full strength. Virginia
will probably be Hopkins strongest Op-
ponent. In the George Washington
games held two weeks ago the Virgin
ians beat out the Black and Blue by a
few points. Hopkins evened things up
last Saturday, bat Virginia was not rep
resented by its full strength.
Captain HorraX will undoubtedly be
the scratch man in both the high jump
and the fftyyard hurdles. hut he will
be likely TO win. or at least to place, in
these events in spite of the handicaps
his opponents may receive.
Zinn and Hunter Hopes.
linn. and Hunter are expected to do
something in the two 50-yard dashes.
They are both fast men in the sprints.
Zinn is a former Gettysburg star He
is rounding into better shape every day.
In the 100 and 22O-yard dashes last Sat
urday he won his heats. but failed each
time to place in the finals. He has a
good record in the sprints. and as soon
as he gets in his old-time form he will
surprise some of the local dash men.
Johnny Morton will also be entered in
the dashes and the 5O-yard hurdles.
Morton placed in the hurdle race at
Washington last year. Wagner, the
long-legged junior who placed third in
the open 100 last Saturday, will probably
be entered in the 5O-yard dashes. Lee
and Reeside will be the principal Black
and Blue runners in the distance
events. Lee will have another chance
to get even with Brigham, of Virginia,
for his recent defeats by him. Last Sat-
urday they both started from scratch,
and Brigham crossed the finish line
about two yards in front of Lee.
Tappan will compete in both the high
jump and pole vault. and will probably
try the hurdles. Dingan, the big Cali
fornian, and Schneider, husky fresh
man, will take part in the shot-put.

substance in the joints frequently

to doctor " the spot that hurts, and
it is quite right to use lininents, hot
applications, ETC., to get temporary
relief from painful joint or swollen
tendon; but Rheumatism is not a
