Amateur Night at the Hipp.
B The biggest night of the week at the
K Hippodrome seems apparent from the
tB. very nature and size of the program
Hip < Manager Fisher has arranged for his
||| patrons tonight The Submarine Girls i
Br wfll offer a change of bill presenting
for'the first time here a clever comedy
Hp- * entitled "A Night in Spivensvilie." and
jap' a stilling William S. Hart drama, "The |
Egs i . Fugitive." will be given its initial j
Ki .. screen showing. Just as though thi6 j
LI - wasn't enough, the management has i
arranged a big program of local talent I

Manager Mefsereau. of tbe Submai
line Girls, regards the new bill his ,
company will introduce as the best in j
his "repertoire. While much emphasis ;
is placed on its elements of comedy.!
be assures us that the chorus will be !
'' given plenty of opportunity and that
^. ' the specialty artists in his company
will not be sidetracked.

from the really big attractions.

f Wrn. S. Hart at Nelson.
. In -The Harrow Trail." which is j
& . showing att the Nelson today, William;
S. Hart has a film offering of excep- j
tional merit, if suspense and climax |
go to constitute merit. The story i
builds with quickening tempo to a
crescendo finish which leaves one!
breathless; and through all the hurry |
and agitato of the movement, it un-!
folds a simple tale of the heart?or ot !
two .hearts, rather?which is pro- i
fotmdly moving and convincing.
The story is of Ice Harding, a road-1
agent, who holds up a stage-coach and i
compels its passengers, among whom
is "Admiral" Bates, the proprietor of a <
Frisco resort, and his niece, Betty W'er- i
ding, to -stand and deliver," and then, I
some days later, rides into the town j
? of Saddle City only to find the "Ad-;
miral" and his niece seated on the ve- i
ranaa 01 uie jeaaing nosieiry, wnere
they have come tor a "much needed
rest.' In the acquaintanceship which
follows, Harding and the girl come to
lore each other?each believing the
other "straight." Their happiness is 1
short-lived, however. lor it is soon
time tor the "Admiral" and Betty to retarn.
to Frisco.
Harding follows, at length, and quite
by chance and the tender ministrations
of a shanghai artist, drifts into a waterside
dance hall. There he comes face
to face with Betty. And then a fight
takes place in which Harding literally
deans ont the whole works. He finals',.
ly leaves, battered and bleeding, and
Betty follows in her final renunciation
of her old life. They come together,
. some time later, in a prairie town,
where a fair and horse race are being
few, 'held. Harding enters the race, which
is for a thousand dollar purse, is recognized
by the sheriff, wins the purse
and carries Betty off with him Into the
n?untains. It is a strong and thrilling
finish.
Spectacular Play at Dixie.

No More Rheumatism

druggists everywhere sell it on the nocure
no-pay basis.
Rheumatics should hail the news j
with great rejoicing, for it is surely a
remarkable remedy and has a record of
almost unbelievable cures . Read what i
J. F. Oliver of Albany, Ga, says about,
it:
"I had sciatic rheumatism for two j
years, and tried every medicine offered j
for rheumatism. Tried many doctors.:
was treated at one of the best 9cuth- j
era sanatoriams. and if I improved
any I did not realize it. I am a conductor
on the Central of Georgia rail- {
road, and had secured a pass to Hot i
Springs. Ark., to take treatment. About I
that time I saw Rheuma advertised '
and concluded to try it. I abandoned!
my trip, took three bottles, and nowfeel
as well as ever. I am going to i
make everybody I see who has rheumatism
try it. r would not take a hundred
thousand dollars for what Rheuma
has done for me. I would rather
be dead than live as I was before the
use of Rheuma."*
If you have rheumatism in any form,
don't delay?try Rheuma today. A large
