Stage Hands and
Musicians Strike

Chicago, Aug. 20.--Musicians and
stage mechanics employed at six
downtown theatres went Oh a strike
this afternoon in sympathy with the
actors. The walk out occurred short
ly before the hour scheduled for the
matinee performance.
The theatres affected by the strike
are the Garrick, Olympic, Studebaker,
Palace Music hall, Colonial and
La Sale.
The Woods, Cort and Cohan's grand
opera house had previously been
closed by the strike of the actors.
Today's walkout of the musicians
and stage mechanics closes every
legitimate theatre in Chicago unless
two of the managers carry out q
threat to give performances without
stage hands or music which was said
to be unlikely.
Vaudeville, burlesque and moving
picture houses are not affected by
the walkout.

News of the Week From
 Capital of Mississippi

Jackson, Miss, May 4.-(SpeciaL)-So Mississippi, though the primary that is to nominate candidates for all state, dis trict and county offices, is but little more than two months off. This time four years ago the state was in political uproar. It was then the field against Bilbo, the present governor; it is now the field against Russell, the lieutenant governor, and who has the backing of Bilbo and also ex-Senator Vardaman, two high officials who were repudiated at the polls one year ago. Russell's strength must come from what is left of Varda- manism and Bilboism, and he will not get all of the following they had at their Waterloos.
 Up to the present time there have been but few joint debates, and these were between Oscar Johnston and Russell. Reports of their meetings are to the eff feet that Johnston has always had the best of 1t. As stump speaker he has no equal in Mississippi today, few there are who dare stand up against him the second time. Russell is also ready debater, dealing largely in invectives and inviting personal difficulties.
 These two candidates have a well-de- fined platform, Johnston opposing the state tax commission and demanding its abolishment as now constituted, while Russell stands for the commission, 1t be- ing one of Bilbos creations and pets. The commission is not popular anywhere. 1t seems, and there is a strong demand for the repeal of the law creating it. This demand comes largely from property own- CTS who have been forced to value theft holdings to something like what they are worth, and it may be that they are in the majority. It is confidently believed that should the abolishment of the tax com

sIast December I had the flu, and had never gotten over it, for was still quite weak, had no color, was very ner- vcus, and often had the backache?' de- clares Mrs. J. l.. Scott of 60S Randolph street, Montgomery, Ala.
 'I couldn't walk far on account of get ting SO tired, and I was so nervous that I would jump at every sudden noise. My appetite was very poor. and hardly knew what it was like to get good nights sleep"
 "One bottle of Dreco has wrought a that my neigehbors often remark about it, and one of them, an elderly lady, got me to bring her a bottle of it the other day, and she is feeling much better
 "I now sleep well,~ ,~my appetite IS good the color has returned to my cheeks, never have a backache, and my strength has greatly increased, for I can walk anywhere and it doesn't tire me down I wish that every weak. sick. nervous, pale woman knew about this great rem edy. Dreco."

mission be left to a vote of the people
 of the state, it would be repudiated as
 heavily as was the state fish and game
 law
 The other candidates for governor, Lon
 gino and Collins, have never accepted
 Russelrs challenges to joint debate, pre-
 ferring to make their own appointments
 and have the day to themselves. They
 are visiting many small towns and coun-
 try schoolhouses, making a close canvass,
 and it is impossible to say with what
 success they are meeting. Audiences mo-
 where have been very large, it is under
 stood, the farmers having something else
 to do besides listen to political speeches, and there is small prospect of large crowds anywhere until crops are laid by about the middle of July.
 It is surprising that there are so few ca nddates for the other state offices. Generally there is opposition for all of fees, and in some cases several aspirants for the same places on the state ticket, but this time there are but two for the great majority of offices, and in some in stances but one. That is the case for auditor, attorney general, commissioner of agriculture, superintendent of educa- ton, land commissioner. railroad. com
 missioner and penitentiary trustee in one district each. There three candi- dates for supreme court clerk, two for | treasurer, two for secretary of state, three for lieutenant governor and in two districts for railroad commissioner and penitentiary trustee. The scarcity of can didates for these heretofore muchly | sought berths is explained on the theory that many would-be state officials can
 not spare the $500 to $10,00O necessary to
 make campaign, and that is no doubt | true
 | The same scarcity of candidates IS noted ! in the contest for county offices. Tn tnls . (Hindes) countN the wealthlest Tn the /, state, and where offices pay the best, there is no opposition for circuit clerk, | treasurer, surveyor, coroner and ranger and for several of the minor offices. In these cases it is said that farmers are
 now so well satisfied with what they are
 making on cotton, corn, potatoes, poui- | try and live stock that they no longer l banker for the political loaves and fishes,
