THEATRICAL NOTES.

AT TOWLE'S. Gi'S Ileege's famous comedy drama, Clf Olson," is still engaged in promoting, laughter, gaiety and good feeling and will be offered as a fun-maker at the Towle opera house Sunday, Nov. 4. ry the Northland singer. Ben Hendricks, and a company of guaranteed excf-llence. Fifteen years of unbroken success for this delightful comedy give proof that it possesses rar qualities that make for popular success. Few plays live even half that length of time. In "Ole Olson" the story is told In a simple, natural and sympathetic manner that appeals to the heart; the fun Is not forced, but bubbles up spontaneously, and the incidents are presented in a way that carries conviction. . These are the qualities that have given "Ole Olson" success. The performance to be given here has been directed, rehearsed and played by Ben Hendricks, and is the only one authorized and sanctioned by Gus Heege's heirs. The company presenting "Ole" Is an excellent one, and as Mr. Hendricks Is making a feature of his singing and yodeling, a musical as well as a dramatic treat is assured. One of the most delightful productions of the kind ever presented on a local stage was enjoyed by two goodsized audiences at the Jefferson yesterday, "Kerry Cow" is not only a worthy Irish play, but Mr. Murphy has organized a company that is complete in its measure of fitness to the various roles. "Kerry Row" is sweet and wholesome, there being a pleasing little romance with an accompaniment of genuine Irish wit, the heartInterest of the play being placed In an atmosphere, as refreshing as the green hills and fields of the land where the tale develops. Even the necessary villian is made interesting and not a word calculated to offend exacting sensibiltie8 finds place in the really bright dialogue. It Is commendable Irish comedy drama in all respects. As a star in the play this season Mr. Allen Doone is introduced. Mr. Doone fs a new-comer, but it only requires a single performance for him to have first-class prestige in a city. His visit to Portland has resulted in a fine leputatlon for him here, and henceforth the name of Allen . Doone will be very pleasantly familiar. Mr. Doone is a fine, romantic actor and the part of Dan O'Hara is just suited to him. He is something more than a capable performer, for his vocal talent his voice being a clear, strong and flexible tenor. His songs were especially enjoyable feature of the performance and were encored again and again. Mr. Doone certainly has talents which should secure him a place with the bright particular stars In the Irish romantic comedy field. Mr. Doone plays so well the part of a lover, which is due to no small degree to the leading lady, who assumes the character of Nora Drew, the heroine. She gives to the role the sweet personality called for, and her acting must serve as something of an Inspiration for Mr. Doone in his Interpretation of the companion character. The company is a good one, the nature as well as the youthful roles having performers suited by age as well as by histronic qualities. The staging of the pretty play is new and artistic. "Kerry Gow" is one of the good things of the season and should be booked for a return engagement. This is positively the' last season of this play. From Tortland Daily Argus, Sept. 4, 1905. "BE X-Il L 11" I N TEH E5TS N ON -THEATERGOER,! Thousands upon thousands of people who seldom visit a playhouse are crowding the Chicago Auditorium nightly to see "Ben-Hur." The keen interest they manifest In its enactment causes regret that more plays of this character are not in existence. "BenHur" with its lustrous Star of Bethlehem, its camels and chariot steeds, its oriental trappery and splendor of the gorgeous cast is one of the most elaborate spectacles ever staged, and yet the appeal of General Wallace's re-Uglo-hlstoric romance is not to the eye and the ear alone, but to the heart. Through all the scenes of wondrous beauty, through the vivid portrayal of the exciting incidents of the dawn of Chrisianlty, the plain, simple story of "The Man of Calvary" Is brought home with all-compelling force. The Star of Bethlehem, the adoration of the Wise Men, the heart-throbbing tale of the meeting of Christ with Hur, the greetings of the great multitude on the Mount of Olives and the final miracle of the cleansing of the lepers these are some of the incidents of "BenHur" which separate it from other plays and make it in its grandeur stand apart Special attention is being given to the public of this vicinity who are de sirous of witnessing this mighty rlay It is advisable to write well in advance for seats so that desirable loca tions mav be secured. Mail orders with remittances addressed to Mr. Mil ward Adams, dicertor Auditorium thea ter. Chicago, will receive prompt at tention. The scale of prices for night performances and Saturday matinees Is $1.50 and $1.00 for the lower floor; $1.00 and 75 cents for the balcony and 50 cents for the gallery. While at the Wednesday matinee the entire lower floor Is $1.00; entire balcony, 75 cents gallery 50 cents. - No performance of "Ben-Hur" is ever given on Sunday. CALUMET THEATER SOUTH CHICAGO. For the week beginning with the matinee Sunday. Nov. 4. the management of the Calumet theater. South Chicago. ha9 selected that famous melo-drama. "The Power of the Press," ore of the most powerful melo-dramas on the stage. The piece has a worldwide fame and Manager Conners announces that he will produce it in a most elaborate manner. The piece is to be very prettily staged with considerable new scenery and a most capable cast. "The Power of the Press" has been produced from one end of the country to the other and has bfn extravagantly praised by the press and public, in this play Manager Conners assures his patrons one of the finest attractions of the season and it ia predicted that a record-breaking busl-

ness will be done at the Calumet next week. The bill of specialties will likewise be an exceptionally strong one and will be headed by Jimmy Lucas, that Inimitable black face comedian, who has appeared with marked success at the various vaudeville houses all over the country. Miss Florence Rayfield will entertain with the illustrated songs, In which she has been making such a hit all year, and the bioscope will have another and very Interesting set of motion pictures. Come and enjoy a pleasant afternoon or evening at South Chicago's cozy family theater.

CHICAGO OPERA HOUSE. Capacity houses were the rule last week, from the opening to the close of the presentation of Arthur Henry Jones' famous play, "The Dancing Girl." It was a strong production, lealing with the deepest emotion of the woman heart, the thwarted ambition, the appeal to the artistic life too strong to be resisted, even though it meant the rending of home ties and filial responsibility. Mis3 Jane Oaker, is Drusilla Ives, the dancing girl, entered so into the spirit of the part that the atmosphere cane over the footlights in waves. It is one of the lotable things about the productions aC this theater, however, that the ompany is so carefully selected and vork so thoroughly in accord, that he whole performance i3 a perfect inlt. In the play presented this week he action moves onward to one of he most stirring climaxes which have hrilled Chicago audiences in many a lay. This is where the father of drusilla, who has previously believed hat his daughter was still a good -Tlrl, discovers the truth and curses ier in the midst of a crowded balloom. Next week an ever-popular favorite to be put on, and the advance sale if seats has already forecasted what nay be expected during the whole run f the performance. The production i to be the powerful heart-interest rami, "The Banker's Daughter," one if the strongest plays ever produced from the mind and pen of Bronson loward. The story of a marriage of onvenlence, a separation and ultimate econciliation through the efforts of i little child, affords a series of situations which hold the audience enthralled, while the daughter's love for ner rather, and a child s power over her parents, affords psychological and heart-interest to the full. iEX. WALLACE'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY, io tne many personal mends, aclualntances and admirers of General Lew Wallace, the announcement that lis autobiography has just been placed t the market by Harper & Bros, will e of interest. With a dramatized version of his "The Prince of India" ocupying the attention of New York and "Ben-Hur" that of Chicago at the Auditorium theater, this interest is accentuated. The last years of Gen eral Wallace's many-sided career were spent in the preparation of his remarkable story, under the old beech tree at his home in Crawfordsville where "Ben-Hur" was written, the General transcribed his career on the diverse fields of arms, letters, politics and diplomacy. The book is rich in reminiscence, several chapters being levoted to his literary labors, in which he recounts how "Ben-Hur" the book .vhlch lias been read by an innumerable company and the drama which has been witnessed by more than five million people came to be written and later dramatized. The story is a forceful presentation of the man himself, an intensely individualistic character and one of the most picturesque per sonalities of our times. AT THE GAHKICK. De Wolf Hopper with Marguirlte Clark and all the old favoiites will come to the Garrick theater fo: two weeks beginning Sunday, Oct. 28, in the great comic opera succe-, "Happylard," and a sumptuous revival of the great success, "Wang." Happyland can be considered a clas sic in the matter of thorough enter tainment. The story, particularly plausible for a comic opera, is Immensely amusing and being devoid of all slap stick and bombastic incongruities, sets a standard in the mater of later days opera. The late Frederick Rankin, certainly erected a theatrical monument for himself when he wrote ii. The story is a mythical land of Klysla where everyone is so happy that its king is bored to death, and is on the lookout for trouble. He finds it; for at the opening of the play1 the king of Altruria which Is the adjacent principality) demands for his daughter the hand of the king of EJysis's heir. As thi3 interesting party happens to be a girl, who meets, promptly falls in love with the crown prince of Fcrtunia (another nearby kingdom) mny complications naturally ensue which give the king of Elysia all the excitement that he seeks. Rankin's scenes are never reminscent. Ms songs permit much in the way of personal accomplishment and his ensembles tell a story In an unusual fashion. Reginald DeKoven. his callaborator, who wrote "Robin Hood," also aimed high, with the result that melodies are captivating and Interesting The production is beautiful In the extreme and absol utely perfect in the matter of dfetali. they are feasts for the eye. The large company conies in for Its share of the general result and admiration, for It Is not a case of simply "Girls," "Girls." "Girls," out a large aggregation of choral artists, who seem to consider their work of as much importance and who labor as hard and faithfully as does the star. Taken all together "Happyland" is one jingling ripple of genuine enjoy ment and the announcement that on the forthcoming visit last season this company, which practically remains in tact, will again portray their respective assignments, is welcome news indeed. During the latter part of the engagement a gorgeous revival of that per ennial success, "Wang," will be given. "Wang" has probably outlived a large majority of the latter day operas, and rightly too, for it permits of legitimate buffonery. In which Mr. Hopper excells. Then again, it is not a one part play, for others besides the star have almost attractive parts.

He could see the wife, who as a girl, was strong, healthy and full of life, today weighted down with the cares of motherhood and housework, never complaining, trying to appear cheerful always denying that she felt bad, and ieciving only herself. Only too wel could he see the change that had taken place, see the drawn expression In the eye, and the frame that was once robust and stout, now slender and slim The happy girlish ring of her laugh had disappeared. The interest in the making of little things for the home was gone, and a different being had stepped between him and the sweet heart of a few years ago. Day after day he could see the conditions growworse, until he Insisted she take medi cine of some kind. Simple home reme lies were .used with no result, then physician was called. "Stomach and liver trouble," he said, "and the live is out of order," yet no relief was af forded. The wife was compelled to take to her bed, and the mother sent for to nurse her. A suggestion of the drug gist to the physician to try the old Quaker remedy. Herb Extract, showed immediate improvement, and the continued use to the exclusion of other medicines, entirely restored the health that had disappeared.

A Hundred Yard Bash By BONOKE WILLSIE Copyright, 1S0C, by M. M. Connie gha

Harwell leped along the lake shere path. The spring wind beat in his face. A matiag blackbird trilled in the greening marsh. Harwell in his running pants and. Jersey, with hi bare Ies and sandaled feet, with h:l fine head tossed back and the muscles of his back rippling beneath his jersey, was as beautiful In his perfection of youth as the spring landscape through which he ran. It was getting a little warm for the daily cross country trot, but the spring meets would be on In another week, and after that cap and gown in ex change for jersey during commence ment week. Untll then Harwell bad only three things ta remember. First he was not to overdo, lie was so near the perfection point now that with the least TO HI3 ABMPITS IK SAND, WITH HI3 PACS HITS AND RKSEJuKSS. extra work he would be stale. Sec ond, he must be careful of that right thigh muscle. He had strained It In the fall as quarterback. And, lastly, this third necessity being unknown to the trainer, he must win the hundred yard dash in the Colwell-Wllton meet. The rivalry between Harwell and Small had become more than physical. To win first place In the meet was to win first place in Alice Summer's eyes at least, this was the conclusion reached by Harwell. He hurdled the pasture bars Into the meadow. It was rather wet, and the smell of bruised cowslipg and tender new sprung mint followed th soft pad of his sandals. At the sand pits liar well halted at the sound of his name shouted at the top of lugty lungs Small, In knickerbockers, was pound tng away with his geological hammer at a huge bowlder. "I'll chill if I stop!" called Harwell merrily. "Why aren't you running?" "Got this bloomin' live-fifths geology to make up this week." "Too bad!" shouted Harwell, bound Ing with his long strides toward the far side of the pits. Small looked alter him, then a mall clous look crossed his eyes. If If Harwell should get dallied! He sprang to his feet. "Wait! Wait!" he roared. "I want" then "Great heavens!" hecried. Then there was silence. Harwell cud not turn his head at Small's call. He grinned appreciative ly to himself. "Can t work me that way," he thought. "A chill for me would be very valuable to Small," and he crossed the little meadow brook with a carelass bound. Then a vague sense of apprehension entered his mind Small's roar had stopped very sudden ly. He wondered why. Perhaps he ought to go buck, yet he kept on. But the sense f apprehension grew and would not ga. Finally, with a little groan at his own foolishness, Har well turned and retraced his course to the sand pits, his stride never breaking. At the brow f the slope he gave a startled ejaculation. In springing to his feet Small had dislodged a great slice of the sand pit wall. To his armpits in sand, with face white and senseless and the sand creeping constantly down to sift higher and higher about him, was SmalL Harwell dashed toward him. As he ran he snatched up an old tin can half full of rain water and dashed it In Small's face. Small opened his eyes. "I'm suffocating, Harwell," he sald"Oh, no, you're not; not by a long chalk. Here, take this can and dig to beat the band. I'll use this pieco of shovel, and we'll have you out la a Jiffy." He set to work feverishly. The bit of shovel proved very efficient wielded by Harwell's sinewy arm, and the tin can In Small's hands was net to be despised. Harwell worked with one eye oa the edge of the pit. The sand layers, one by one, were loosening. If he did not get Small free before they fell well, there was no use la thinking of that. Now Small was free to his waist line, now to his tWghs. now silently, swiftly, a great wedge of sand gave way, and Small was again buried to his shoulders. Harwell looked about. The pits had

been so long deserted that there w?s

not a bord in sight. Yes. half buried and black with age, there was one. He polted across the pit. gave a great wrench and was tack ar'ln with the board, which Le placed as a bulwark against furtter sand slides. Then to work a-nln with tLe broken shovel. feverishly, for Small was growing faint and limp. At lait, panting, Harwell helped the La If uiicoLiCious Small to his feet. Then he was suddenly conscious that L-3 hands were Llistered. that his feet .) tliit his rf-ht th'ffh mnsM acaed wearuy. mr ne put nis arm Tf A. .Lout S.'iall and ltd him slowly from tlie snnd pit down to the turnpike road tl;at was the strain btest course to the college dorcaitory. It was nearing sun set, and a damp, cool wind blew from the marshes. Harwell shivered, but he closed his lips firmly and hurried Small on as best he could. There wa tLe sound of hoof beats behind tLcm. The two weary figures drew to the road-ide and waited for the smart little dogcart to pass them. But it stumped, and its solitary oe-1 cupant gar an eiclaiiiation of surprise. "What In the world is the matter?" asked Alice Summers. "Sinall got caught in the wnd pit." re plied Harwell, both men starlr.g up in to the beautiful, sensitive f?e. The girl gave a little cry of sympathy. "Oh, et in here. Mr. kiaall, and I'll drive you to the doctor." In a few moments Harwell vra3 watching the gay painted bac'x of the trap, now occupied by two figures, retreating Into the dusk. His lip quivered a little sensitively. They never thought of me," he mut tered. "Small has got her, and I I've got the chill lsc wanted me to have." Then he limped on through the twi light toward the dormitory a mile away. That evening Harwell eat In the liv ing room of his fraternity house nursing his aching muscles and giving an occasional Bneeze. The hundred yard dash was lost; but, since Alice, too, was lost, he was strangely Indifferent. Then he was called to the telephone. Miss Alice Summers, who was staying at the hotel with her mother, would bo glad to have him call. As Harwell, very cold and dignified. stalked Into the reception room Alice, her winsome face eager, led him to a quiet corner. "Dick," she said hesitatingly, "did I act very brutal this arternoon?" Dick thought for a moment. "Yes," ne replied firmly. Alice caught her breath. "But how could I know that you had be?n so fine? You iaid nothing." "There was nothing to say. It was Small's Inning." "Small!" sniffed Alice. "Don't mention Billy Small to me! I think you are fine, but I could gt that from what Billy said only by inference. Dick, did you get a chill?" Dick nodded, and Alice's face filled with dismay. With two brothers In college, she understood all the shadings of training. "Oh, Dick!" she said. "Oh, Dick!" Something In her tone made Dick look up. "But you don't care." he said bitterly. "Don't ir she replied. "Well, perhaps 1 do care, more that you were brave and fine enough to give up all chances In the meet to help a man who was not worth it." The room swam around giddily. Dick clutched the arms of his chair, and then both the girl's slender hands were in his. "Dick," she whispered, "don't you see that what you have done Is better than winning ten dashes?" "I am sure o it," said Dick. And there was a thml of Joy in his voice that left no doubt as to his meaning. The Java Python. No creature of the Jungles of Java Is n.ore feared than the terrible python. A hunter tells of his experiences with one of these huge snakes. "Gunning one day near the Wasli river, in the Interior of the island," he says, "I watched a number of wild hogs coming to the water to drink. Suddenly the head of a snake rose above the grass and a hog squealed. A python had seized full grown one, easily three feet high at the shoulder, and thrown two coils around the body. Under the tremendous pressure the hog seemed to lengthen, and when the snake un coiled I saw only a strip of meat nothing distinguishable but the head I shot the snake. It was twelve feet long and seven Inches through, and yet Its colls had crushed the bones of Its prey like chips. There Is no doubt that hidden away In vast swamps of the Interior are many anacondas of enormous size. Parties have been made up to hunt them, but the mala rious climate drives them back." Scfene atad M.iBnfartnre. In the Zeiss glass works at Jena four teen doctors of science are employed and these Include mathematicians as well as physicists. The great German aniline color works employ more "set entific" than "technical" chemists. At one of them, for instance, fifty-five sci entlflc and thirty-one technical chem ists are engaged, at a second 145 scien tine chemists and 175 technologists, at a third 14S scientific chemists for sev enty-five technlcists. The research laboratories of these works are lavishly equipped. One of them possesfei a 11 brary of 14.000 volumes. A second spends 150.000 franca a year on glass ware.

While not complaining and while freely and gladly acknowledging their great prosperity, due in large measure to the development of manufacture, transportation and trade, farmers nevertheless believe that the margin between the price paid to them and the price paid by the consumers of their products is altogether too great and that this margin has contributed much to aggregations of wealth that are dangerous; hence farmers would not try to increase by large their profits by compelling the consumers of farm products to pay more, bat rather BY LESSENING THE OPPORTUNITY OF AN INCREASE BY UNFAIR MEANS OF THE WEALTH OF THOSiS ALREADY TOO RICH. Farmers recognize that the value of their lands and the profits of their business are largely due to the markets created by manufacture and the transportation provided by railways. But the farmer distinguishes between the manufacture, transportation and sale of articles and the work of corporations and individuals that put their attorneys and willing servants into state legislatures and tha national congress, in executive ofHces and even on the bench, not for the public good, but to secure advantages that are unfair in themselves and in their results dangerous to the masses. Speaking largely, the remedy we would propose for economic injustice would not be of tha nature of special laws or efforts in the way of arbitrary hindrances to honest trade or arbitrary seizure of the holdings cf any class and a distribution to any injured class, but rather WE WOULD DEPEND ON THE AWAKENING OF SUCH A NATIONAL CON
