SPLENDID RENDITION
OF QUEEN ESTHER

During the past week the Methodist
choir, with the assistance of other local
singers and under the direction of A.
G. Bixler of Denver, put on the ora
torio of Esther, the Beautiful Queen
both in Glenwood and Carbondale in
manner that would do credit to profes
sionals.
1t is safe to say that no amateur per
formance ever given in Glenwood was
received with more favor than was
this production of Queen Esther Prof,
Bixler has been engaged in this and
similar work for over forty years and
he has handled his work very success
fully. He easily gathers around him a
splendid band of singers, not all stars,
it is true, but faithful, enthusiastic
men and women who were willing TO
use their talents as best they can in
a good cause. No coaxing or cajolery
of "pretty please'' business was nee
essary and they entered into the work
pSNauot ilh'u II u'bti hlih'tl u
to make success of it which they sue
ceeded in doing it.
Last Monday evening the chorus went
to Carbondale where they were greeted
with splendid house and given mucn
praise for the manner in which they
handled the production. The troupe
won many compliments from the Car
bondale people who volunteered the
declaration that it was the best pro.
duction ever presented in that prosper
Gus community.
Tuesday evening the play was put
on in Glenwood at the Odeon and many
who had seen it given in eastern towns
pronounced it the best production OF
Esther they had ever seen. Wednesday
evening it was repeated, this time to Il
smaller house, but the work of the
company was great Improvement ovel
that of the previous evening. The
play went with much more snap and
vim than the first night and few
rough places, not generally noticed by
the audience, were smoothed out con
siderably. Besides this they changed
pianos and thus avoided the discom-
fture of working with an instrument
slightly out of tune.
Those taking the principal parts
were Mrs. Geo. +. Klein as Queen
Esther, Miss Mary Claudon as Zeresh
Mrs. A. l.. Beardsley as the Prophecies.
Miss Edith Howe as Mordecai's S sister,
Miss Sadie Allison as u Median prin
cess, Miss Helen Clarke as a Persian
princess, Little Isabel Thompson os
Haman's child, A. G. Bixler as Ahas
Gurus (King of Persia, c. Z. Hubbard
as Hegar, John D. Fillmore as Haman,
A. j. Dickson as the high priest and II.
IL. French as Mordecai, and all ac
quilted themselves highly and won
many compliments on their good work.
The Post is not usually given to spa
cial mention and especially in ease
like this where all did their parts well,
but we feel justified in saying that
Mrs. Klein, Mrs. Beardsley and Miss
Mary Claudon did exceptionally good
work and these as well as others won
many compliments from the audience.
One of the sweetest and most appealing
features of the performance was the
march and chorus of little girls who
carried flowers to the queen. Miss Irene
Clarke presided at the piano.

iona Vita Acts Like a True Spe-
cific in Cases of Debility.
Characteristic Symptoms of NAL
ady Eradicated.

There is one question that is put
to us more often than any other" said
one of the specialists who are at the
Arnold Drug Company for the pur-
pose of introducing in Topeka a re-
markabIe new tonic called ''Tona Vita,
and which, strangely enough, find 1t
most difficult to answer. That is why
there is so much suffering here in To-
peka when most of it can be avoided
by the use of proper medicine
THE only answer L can give to this
question: continued the specialists
lis that most people do not know the
nature of their ailments and therefore
do not follow the proper course. They
fail to recognize the indisputable fact
that at the very lowest average %
per cent of the sufferers in Topeka
have nothing more or less than nervous
debility. They or their doctors, may
call it something else, but as soon as
they treat themselves for that trouble
they improve.
Nervous debility" says the special
list, lis that condition of the body or
any of it's organs, in which the vital
functions are discharged with less than
normal Vigor, the amount of power and
activity displayed being reduced. 1t
simply means that the body is dispos
sessed of it's characteristic properties
and, combined with high state of nerv-
BUSINESS, the modern plague, nervous
debility is produced. The body is then
in state of languor and decline.
1.-The following symptoms are char
acteristic of this trouble: Lassitude,
nervousness, sleeplessness, timidity, de-
preston of spirits, little vitality, cold
feet poor circulation, weak back, head
ache, poor digestion, stomach and bowel
troubles, depression and dependency.
These are unnistakable indications
of nervous debility, and there are thou
sands here in Topeka, who suffer with
this trouble in its most distressing
form.
'Tona Vita will act in such cases
like a true specific. From the moment
the medicine taken improvement is
rapid"
The '"Tona Vita Introductory sale
is now being conducted at the Arnold
Drug Store, 523 Kansas avenue where
the specialists can be seen any day
fro 9 a. m. to p. M
while We are meeting callers eacn

Atchison, Kan, June 21-It is prac-
tically certain that before the end of
another six months the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad will be running
passenger and freight trains from Chi
cago through Atchison to Kansas City
over the main line of the Missouri
Pacific.
From an authentic source, it was
learned today that the Northwestern
probably will put ON a fast passenger
train between ST. Paul and Kansas
City between July 1 and August 1.
At present the main line of the
Northwestern terminates at Omaha,
but because of the rapidly increasing
Gals are trying to make arrange
ments by which the terminus will be
Kansas City.
A few days ago President Bush of
the Missouri Pacific system Presi-
dent Gardner of the Northwestern,
and several other OFFICIALS OF poth
roads, PASSED through Atchison on
special train. They were making an
inspection of the line from Kansas
City to Omaha.
The unusual occurrence of four or
five railroad officials, representing
two roads, making an inspection trip
over a line, was commented upon by
local railroad officials as well as at
least a dozen railroad men in Kansas
City.
The vast amount of Improvement
work which has already been done,
and that which is contemplated, in
dicates that the Missouri Pacific is
getting ready for some additional
traffic over it's lines. The entire
Omaha division is being reballasted.
L is also the intention of the COM
pany to widen the dump from Kan
sas City to Omaha.
While superintendent Garden has
received no official notice he believes
it will only be a short time before
the Northwestern will be using the
Missouri Pacific tracks from Omaha
to Kansas City and ultimately to the
Gulf.

LARGEST TUNNEL IN WEST.
Cascades Will Be Bored by Oregon and
Washington Road.


Tacoma, Wash, June 21.-Oregon
and Washington surveyors this week
began final surveys for what will like
~ be the last railroad to be built
across the Cascade mountains in many
years. 1t will connect ea stern Wash
ington with Puget sound by the short
est mileage and easiest grade possessed
by any railroad, surprising in these
essentials the existing main lines of
the Northern Pacific, the Great North
ern and the Milwaukee. Connection
with the Hartman lines between Ia
coma and Seattle will be made twelve
miles from Tacoma at point between
Sumner and Auburn. Tieton and
Cispus passes, south of Mount Rainier,
have been abandoned for Natchez
Pass. between Mount Rainier and
Pacific. From Sumner the new line
will follow the White and Green rivers
into NatcheZ Pass. After the summit
is crossed the Natchez river will be fol-
lowed into the heart of Yakima val
lev, where the new road will join the
North Coast system, whose several
lines connecting North Yakima, Spo-
kane and WalIa Walla already traverse
the largest fruit, grain and hay pro-
ducing districts of eastern WaShlng-
ton.
The elevation at which the Cascades
will be crossed depends upon whether
Judge Lovett and Julius Kruttschnftt
determine upon a three mile, five mile
or ten mile tunnel. There are reasons
for believing an eight or ten mile tun-
mel will be driven, making the longest
railroad bore on the American con-
tinent. Hartman lines now reach Ia

the order of the general offices of the
Rock Island Frisco, Santa Fe and
Katy, which for several years have
maintained handsome ticket offices in
the heart of the city's business district.
Railroad circles state that this ac-
ton cannot legitimately be interpreted
as a knock on the city, or as meaning
that city ticket sales for this place
have shown any greater decrease than
those of similar cities throughout the
country. They state that the roads
are up against the necessity of being
forced to cut down operating expenses
and that the city ticket offices in cities
of not exceeding $4,000 are enumer-

BRYAN'S HALLUCINATION.

To every humane mind Mr.. Bryan
must be the object of sympathy in
this campaign. To have led the Dem
ocratic column time after time in a
forlorn hope, and to be cast aide for
new arrival on the scene just when
the party has chance to win, is a
piece of exasperating fate that must
have soured a man of less buoyant
and generous spirit. But Mr.. Bryan
is game, and pleads in all earnestness
for Governor Wilson's election.
Yet it is the most unaccountable
of decisions that Mr.. Baryan should
look at the Progressive platform to-
day and think he sees there the things
for which he fought in 1895 and in
1900. There is, of course, no possible
connection or resemblance between
free silver, free riot or free trade and
the measures of social and industrial
