deadly poison the stomach. which DR.
Withheld analysed. contained he was
unable TO state. Neither has anything
been definitely learned AS To where the
poison which caused the death of the

no cyanide OF potassium at the Mcdi-

pensary, and that four months ago was
the last time that there was any OF

The Lyceum committee have select
ed the attractions for next season, sub
ject to possible changes if thought adj
visable.. If the program as selected is
adhered to the following attractions
will appear here in the order named:
"Cordova Concert Co.," in December;
Hawaiian Singers" in January; "Jul-
ius Caesar Maybe Co.," late in jan
uary; "The Lady Singers" in March,
and the Warwick Quartette" in April.
These attractions are a little more ex-
pensive than those who were engaged
for the season just closed, owing to the
fact that they are each a vocal and
instrumental organization of the high
est class. The Hawaiian Singers
are much sought for in all parts OF
the country, and are alone worth the
price asked for the seasons tickets.
