On Monday evening the Opera House will
be occupied by the world fumous Tony De
nier Humpty Dumpty Specialty Company, of
which the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
"The possibilities of Humpty Dumpty will
never be realized. Everybody of mature
year kuows what it was, and, having gone to
see it each year since childhood, knows what
it has been since. At the same time there is
a probability those who were not at The Peo
ple's last night do not know what it is now.
Tony Denier's name guarantees the excellence
ot the entertainment. With Ravel us clown,
aud the perennial Humpty Introduced among
Indiun surroundings, there is a decidedly en
tertaining pantomime. The specialties ns a
whole are clever, and the play of childhood
should have a prosperous run."

It is with a heavy heart we announce the
death of our friend and companiou, Mis Katie
Nicholson. Last spring she wa taken siek,
from which llluess she never fully recovered,
and In July she was taken down never to rise
again. Katie wa an estimable young lady
who won the love and esteem of all who knew
her. Her death 1 a stinging blow to her kind
old mother, sister and brother. She wo all
to them that God's green earth held dear.
She knew she wa going to die and was per
fectly reconciled to go and meet her God. In
her last sickness she chose her pall bearer :
BaitCurtin, Will O'Dotmell, Thos. Thomp
son, Will Corrigan, Eddie Brown and Mattie
White, who laid her tenderly and gently to
rest under the green and shady maples of St.
Coftimba cemetery.
Darling Katie, how we loved you;
And although you're far away,
Tour name is near and dear to us
As flower in tne month of May.
O Katie, how we wished your stay longer,
But our wishes were over hurled,
For the angels with their golden win?
Wafted your soul to the other world.
But we will meet our dear friend Katie
On that bright and radiant shore,
Where they never, never say farewell,
We'll meet to part no more.

On Thursday evening the Congregational
church was packed to hear Mr. B. F. Jacobs
of Chicago. He was introduced by the liresi
dent of the conference.
Mr. Jacobs said he had been much plcused
to note the Increase in Sunday School Interest
In this county. He built hi discourse upon
the text found iu John xvil, 4. He spoke ot
the course of study laid down in tho Sunday
School leaflets. Ho devoted the longer por
tion of his speech to the necessity of every
body preaching and extending the gospel on
this eurth. He insisted upon it that everyone
wanted to preach the gospel to their fellow
beings. He wanted more atteution paid to
the dark places to the lowest elements of
human beings. He said that it was a mis
taken idea to suppose that tho largo cities
were tho worst places. There are a larger
proportion of church attendance than in the
country districts. He reluted several pathet
ic anecdotes and several fiinnyjoniM, applying
them adroitly to his subject. Mr. Jacobs is a
polished orator and a powerful piMiker, and
his audience sat spell-bouud by his eloquence.
His combined wit and pathos wer perfectly
Invinceable. His audience wan perfectly car
ried away.
The meetings of yesterday were largely at-
tended, both forenoon and afternoon. The
forenoon meetinir was opened by Rev. E. S.
Wilson of Streator. Mrs. S. J. DeMott of
Normal, then gave a paper on Primary Work,
which wa listened to with great Interest.
The remainder of the foren on session was
filled up with the following: "Our Difficulties;
how to Overcome," L. S. Ellsworth, Deer
Park; "How toTeaeh.Temperance in the Sun
day School," Mrs. L. Plumb, Streator; "Our
Boys," E. Connibear, Mendota. Election of
officers.
The afternoon session began promptly at
half past one. Rev. A. Bowers of Tonlca,
spoke on "How to make Teachers' Meetings
Profitable." "Better Work Amongour Young
People In tho Suuday School," was discussed
by Mr. Harvey of Marseille. Rov. M. Pen-
hallagen of Streator, had charge of the que
tion drawer.
The convention as a whole was an unbound
ed success. There were 104 delegates present

year.

Dear Madam : I wish the public to know
how much my health has improved in two
months under your treatment. I have suf
fered with lung trouble six yearsthe
effects of pleuro-pneumonia which caused
me to have a very hard cough, having about
three very severe spells every night, which
would last times one-half hour. I raised
great quantities of heavy green matter. Had
great soreness and pain through my lungs,
and could not lie on my left side. My stom
ach was affected. I also had a severe pain
in my back for ten years, which Is about all
gone now, after being under your oare two
months, 1 can now sleep fill night without
coughing, and lie on either side without any
inconvenience, The night sweats have gone,
na also (he pain and soreness in my lung;
nor doe my head ache as it did. The pal
piiatitin of Ihe heart is about stopped. I
have beeu working quite bard for the last
few weeks, while before I took your treat,
nient 1 could scarcely do anything.
Respectfully yours,
.Iacksox Oillmobk.

Kev. C. C. Warner, pastor of the Congre
gational Church, nt La Salle, was given a re.
ception, last Monday evening, at the house
of Mr. George Treat, of that place. The
occasion was Mr. Warner's thirtieth birth
day. A number of Ottawa people were
there, among them Rev. and Mrs. W. F.
Day. There were also delegations from
other neighboring towns. A most enjoyable
time was had.
Temperanrn.
The Rev. Father Cleary spoke at St. Col
umbo Church, last Sunday evrning, upon
the subject of "Temperance." Father
Cleary was here at the time of the C. T. A.
convention, and last Sunday spoke again
upon the same subject, at the urgent request
of many of his friends. He was greeted by
a large audience, and his lecture was well
received. After the opening services, the
reverend gentleman proceeded to go for the
liquor traffic right vigorously. He showed,
by figures and statistics, the enormous
amount of money expended upon liquor,
and the conclusion reached wa the same as
ha been proved before. From Father
Clenry'B figures, it would appear that some
i'J(M),000,t)OU per annum is the cost to this
country for its strotig drink. He urged all
Catholics who were in tho liquor business to
quit it. He, indeed, denounced the entire
liquor traffic in most emphatic terms. The
Rev. Father Rvan officiated at the closing
services.
