From piano overture to the motion pictures, there is not a dull moment The Smlletta Bro3., In a comedy bar act, pleased greatly. Carl D. McCullough, the Impersonator, is very clever and his impersonations of famous singers are great. Cora Beach Turner and Co., in their one act dramatic playlette, entitled "Mr. Bluffer Bluffed," was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone present. The illustrated song this week was well rendered by Franklin A. Brooks, and the slides are exceedingly pretty. The four Bragdon Bros., singers and dancers, are dancers of ability and the costumes worn by them are baautiful. The Phlloscope, showing The Custom Officials, Unexpected Meal, and 100 to 1 Shot, were very entertaining and this bill should draw well all this week. "The Light Eternal" Gennett.

This geneleman, he said urged hira to stand firmi and declared that so far as he was personally concerned he would rather submit to a loss than see the council receed from its action. The speaker, however, was not opposed to the withholding temporarily of the provisions of the ordinance. Study Sounds a Warning. City Attorney Study had a few remarks to make about the matter under discussion, and in the vernacular of the day he seemed to be under the impression that the representatives of Mr. McGowan had attempted to hand the municipality of Richmond a large Juicy, "lemon." According to his statements the aforesaid "representatives" had spent the greater portion of their time while in the city wandering about the highways and by-ways endeavoring to convince merchants and manufacturers that the municipal legislators in the passage of the ordinance had put them up against a bad proposition from a financial standpoint. "While Mr. Study entered no objections to the proposed delay he did not think that the company had acted in good faith, and felt that they were doing a great deal of bluffing. There was no reason, whatever why they should antagonize this ordinance. There were a number of thoroughfares that they could use for their freight traffic, and he mentioned Fort Wayne avenue as one of them. In explanation of his statement that the company was engaged in a bluff game Mr. Study said that

EPIDEMICS JT - CHICAGO

ARE BECOMING ALARMING One Hundred Cases of scarlet Fever and Forty-Five of Diphtheria Reported to Health Authorities in Twenty-Four Hours. IPubllshrs' Pressl Chicago, . vy.Utmic records for a period of 24 hours as far back as the typhoid plague of 1S93 were broken when 100 cases of scarlet fever and 45 cases of diphtheria were reported to the health department. Besides these were recorded 20 cases of other contagious diseases. The increase in diphtheria was considered alarming. In the weekly bulletin issued by the health department strong emphasis is laid on an official repeated plea for the establishment of regular medical inspection of the schools. It includes an assertion that the inspection made possible by the emergency appropriation of $15,000 should end the present conditions within two weeks. "When the crispy mornings come, you will be delighted if you have Mrs. Austin's Pancakes for break Taking advantage Is a mean thing when the advantage doesn't lie in your direction.

N I IN I llh llrAII poroner of Vigo County Begins Rigid Investigation of Sanford Explosion. STILL REMAINS A MYSTERY SOME PERSONS SAY THAT AT LEAST FORTY PERSONS PERISHED IN THE SINGULAR ACCIDENT SATURDAY NIGHT rPutoiishers' Press Terre "H ..a., j 1. A revised list of dead shows that 27 per sons lost their lives and about 33 were : injured in the terrible catastrophe ; that befell a Big Four passenger train. when a car of powder blew up at Sandford. The coroner of Vigo county began a rigid investigation of the explcslcr the cause of which is as much a mystery as ever. The exact number of persons killed probably will never be known. Coroner Leavitt has a record of 10 dead, but it is known that this record is far from complete. It is believed that several bodies were burned to ashes in the fire that followed the explosion, and some persons say that at least 40 people perished. A knife and a bunch of keys were found in the ashes, but no trace of a body could be seen. From time ; to time the workers ran across but tons and other bits of metal scattered through debris, but no signs of flesh or bones were found. Several of the injured are believed to have been fatally hurt. A SILLY F O O L One evening last week I was sitting in my room at the boarding house smoking my second best pipe and thinking of nothing when the door was banged open and my chum. Bill M orse, flung himself Into the room, slammed his valise on the floor, threw his hat on the bed and, cursing himself as the greatest fool alive, dropped into a chair. j For two weeks I Lad been envying that fellow. Engaged to a pretty girl, who had not made the common mistake of being born of poor parents, he had gone to pass-a whole mouth's vacation in the Fame Connecticut village where his sweetheart and her mother Were staying. I was too surprised to do more than stare at Bill In astonishment. "This morning." said he, "Alice and some of her girl friends started up the mountain for a hen picnic Mount Riga, the people in Salisbury call It. I wish it was a big hole In the ground. About 10 I decided to take a walk and accidentally meet them. I took a roundabout way, because there was sure to be more or less giggling when I made my appearance, no matter how nicely it was managed." - Here Bill helped himself to my first best pipe and heaped a few more blessings on his head. "Well," said he after a few strong pulls at the pipe, "I soon reached a cursed little hill which sat up against the mountain like a pimple beside a mammoth wart, and perched on the side of the measly bunch of dirt was an enormous rock left there by a glacier, I suppose. The day it was dropped there was cold, but the day Bill Morse found it was still colder. Climbing up to the lower side and leaning back against it, I took a look around. Just then some one set off a blast or they began cannonading oft Mole St. Nicholas. Anyway the jar seemed to shake the hill, and that stone moved. I braced myself against it Instinctively. The motion stopped, and then came one of those flashes of Intelligence for which I am famous, as you know, old man. "You have seen a schoolteacher take his class Into the yard and demonstrate that one boy can keep a ladder upright by looking out for the center of gravity, etc., and that it takes them all to stop Its falling when you let it tip. Oh. I knew all about it! Bill Morse knew. If I let that stone get 6tarted, It would crush me, for it was so broad I could not spring out of the way. I bored one shoulder Into the double dyed thing and finally twisted round so as to face it. worked my way to the edge, the cold sweat standing out all over me, and Jumped clear. Things were dark for a moment, but I soon straightened out and looked to see where the rock had fallen. It hadn't budged." I was going to ask Bill if he was angry, but he had jumped up and was kicking his valise around the room,, and I thought It was unnecessary. "Bob." he cried between the kicks, "words are poor things. I agree with the man who said language v was Intended to conceal your real thoughts." After a few more kicks and a fresh pipeful Bill resumed: -"I rushed round to the top of that Infernal rock, determined to push it over if it didn't intend to take a drop Itself. I moved it about an inch, and to do more than that would require all of the king's horses. Oh, but Solomon was a wise one! He said all men were fools. That stone. Bob, was a rocking stone. When I realized what it was, I wondered why Solomon had not mentioned me'partlcularly. I began talking to the stone and was just beginning to do myself and that beastly chunk Justice when that hen picnic came screaming down the mountain side. They had seen the whole circus. Alice gasped out, "Oh. W-Will, It's too fu-funny: and then put her hand to her side and absolutely shrieked with laughter. I gave her one look and then told her a plain truth that I know she'll never forgive. Then I rushed back to the hotel, got my things, and here I am. It's all over. I'm a fool, and a wretched one, my boy." I agreed with him, but didn't mention Jt.. Then, the lucht .was turned out.

Whose Say-so is Best? With nearly all medicines put up for sale through druggists, one has to take the maker's say-so aloue as to their curative value. Of course, such testimony is not that of a disinterestod party and accordingly is not to be given the same credit as if written from disinterested motives. Dr. Pierce's medicines, however, form a sintfle and therefore striking exception to this rule," Thoir claims to the confidence of invalids does not rest solely upon ihir makers' say-so cr praise.
