THiPOTlTIGAL
BATTLE OF TODAY
The Republican Primaiies for City
Election to Take Place Between 4
rind 7 This Evening What Mr.
Bommelmeyer Says of His Candi
dacy for Mayor.
The city Republican primaries, In
.vlilcli the candidates for election in the
spring will he nominated, will take
place this uftenioon between 4 unci 7
o'clock, mid ns the result Interest rs
keyed to n high pitch throughout the
city. This widespread interest Is at
tributable, to two things the fuel that
tlie Crawford county rules will lie ap
plied, for the first time, to municipal
elections In furhondnlc, and the num
ber of candidates who have manifested
their wishes to fill three important
otllces that are to be voted for, namely,
mayor, treasurer and controller.
For mayor there are three candi
dates. Frank jlonnnelineyer. Ii. A. Rob
erts and Hon. 1U. T. Burke.
Mr. Roberts, as is well known, seeks
the nomination as the pronounced rep
resentative of the municipal water pro
ject. He has been the chief worker In
this movement and Is now more en
thusiastic than ever In this cause.
Jlr. Burke was first mentioned as a
candidate for treasurer, hut later cast
his chances with those seeking the
nomination for mayor.
What Mr. Bommelmeyer Says.
Mr. Hommelmeyer, in his statements
to the public, lias indicated that he bas
no platform but the platform of Un
people, whatever their wishes may be.
His aim, he has pointed out. will be to
net for the best interests of the taxpay
ers and property owners of the city and
to stand for all who iii-Re for the prope
administration of municipal affairs-.
His views in the matter are rellected In
the following statement:
"It is not for any personal ambition or
through any expansion of the band of
my hat that I am a candidate at the
primaries today, but at the earnest re
quest of representative citizens, prop
city owners and taxpayers, who m-ro
for Rood administration of our munici
pal business.
"So devoid, to me, are the attractions
of the oflice that is highest In the sift
of our people. Hint I would not Rive a
nickel for a nomination. However (now
rend attentively), If the Republicans
Saturday, afternoon express by their
votes a demand that I be their candi
date, r r.hall endeavor to merit their
confidence, and ninko a vigorously de
termined effort to be the next mayor."
Frank lioinmehneyer.
For treasurer, there are four candi
dates, J. Xormiin fielder, Melvln II.
Tappan, Frank It. Dever and Daniel 11,
Davis. Kach lias put tip a vIroi-ous
fight and the result will be exceedingly
close. Interest is centered in the can
didacy of Mr. Older and Mr. Tappan,
as they aro the representatives of the
younger element In the Republican
party, Mr. fielder Is an enterprising
young man, whoso connection with tho
dally newspapers of Hit- town , has
brought him Into favorable connection
with nearly everybody in the city. Mr.

NEWS OF THE PLAY.
Some Incidents of Jere McAuliffe's
Company, Which Played to Big
Houses at the Grand This Week.
Plays Booked for the GranV
.Tore Me.Uillffe. the entertaining
comedian, showed his popularity in
Carbnndale by playing, this week, to
the largest audiences that have ever
lllled the Grand. While McAullffe Is
an old favorite in Carbondale, and
he has been seen to good advantage
on his earlier appearances, Ills versa
tility was never so well shown as this
week, when he essayed roles that were
quite varied. Aside from the admirers
Mr. McAulilTe increased by his enter
taining ways on the stage, he also
.1RUK M'AT'UFFK.
The Successful Singer and Comedian.
widened the circle of friends that ho
claimed in Caibondale. His personal
ity is most pleasing:, and this is one
of the chief factors of his success.
Mr. McAullffe is the same off as on
tho stage, always lllled with good na
ture. After Monday night's produc
tion Mr, McAullffe was In a lunch
room where some one, not recognizing
his features, asked how the show was.
"Oh, pretty good," replied .left-.
"Is .lore as good as ever," again
asked his questioner.
"Ves, about tho same, but he is get
ting old you know," was .Tere's last
reply, while be winked at his pet ter
rier and ordered another cup of coffee.
Where a crowd of jovial spirits trav
el and become acquainted with one
another In a social way. there Is hound
to be some practical jukes perpetrated
among them. Such Is true of the Mc
AulilTe company. Iletwceu rehearsals
and playing time the actors llnd time
to turn tho laugh on one another. This
weel: Arthur De Yoy was tin- vic
tim. In bis dressing room at tho
opera house he found a large placard,
On It was an Illustration of a man
clinging to a lamp-post and apparent
ly well supplied with the liquid which
Inebriates. Another ilgure asks him
what's wrong nnd admonishes hini for
being drunk. The lamp-post's com
panion does not answer in words, but
points to the stage entrance shown on
the placard. From a creak In the
door, "All Is lost, all Is lost," with any
amount of exclamation points Is heard.
Those words aro used by Mr. IluVoy
In a scene in tho production of "Plavps
of Itussla." The victim took the joUe
lit his own good natured way and is
biding his time.
Mr, neVoy is one of the most cap
able leading men In lepertolro seen in
Carbondale. Besides u well trained
voice he has u splendid stage presence.
The Mitrtlnu brothers scored such a
big hit In their acrobatic work. They
tiro influential members of tho famous
"While lints" organization, They
have signed a contract for a six
months' tour In Australia In the near
future, With them go, the best wishes
of Carhomlalluns who lirjve seen them
in their great specialty work.
One of the most prominent llgun-s of
tho company was Walter l,egreit War
ren. Mr. Warren Is the owner of
nuke," a handsome St, Uermird dog
which, when out with his owner, was
iiulte an attraction on the city streets.
The JK'Aullffe company will end Its
succsssful engagement In this city tills
evening, when "Convict 1210," prob.
ably the strongest play of tliu week,
will be presented. T(ta bill this after
noon will bo "Slumus O'Urien."
Manager llyrne bus just closed a
contract for Jie appearance at t,ho
Grand on Feb. 15, of' "Tho Bonnie
Hrier Hush," wltluh is headed by J.
II. Stoddard, the veteran of the Amer
ican rdtige, nn nctor of renown. This
is 'a bit of enterprise on tho part ot
Mr. llyrne that should ho nppreclrtlett
by Cnrljoiidnllans, tin the procurement
of fttlclt a rare attraction for tt town of
this slsso Is something out of tho or
dinary. ..
The a rand will have another full
week ot attractions next week, IIcrIh
ning Monday and -playing every night,
hut Wednesday, and giving mntlnces
on Tliuisilny and Hatttrday, tho at
traction will be Perry O'Doll and Dee's

strong situations, The company conies
with many recommendations.

made a hit in Scratitoh, at the Acad
emy of Music, on Thursday evening.

Surprising Results "&
A Simple Internal Remedy Mnkoa
Reinnrkhblo Cures of Catarrh.
People who have tiseil sprays, he
linlci-rt, Halves and washes for catarrh
nnd havo found how useless! nnd In
convenient they, tire, will bo tigreeably
Biirprlscd nt results following tho Use
ot it pleasant, internal remedy In tali
lot form; tfritggliitB everywhere ndinl!
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, which
they sell at HO cents for full sized
treatment, Is tho safest, most effective
and popular or nil catarrh remedies.
Nearly nil cheap cough mixtures and
throat lozenges contain opiates; these
cheap medicines give u temporary re
lief, especially with little children by
destroying nerve sensation: tho Irrita
tion In throat, which causes coughing
Is temporarily removed, not by remov
ing the cause, but by deadening the
nerves of feeling tho irritation Is not
felt although It Is still there and will
promptly return",
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is the best'
remedy to remove catarrhal secrclloti,
whether in tho nose, throat or stomach
because they arc composed ot whole
some antiseptics like Red Gum, Blood
Hoot, etc.; when you uso these tablets
you know what you arc putting into
your system and not taking chances
witli cocaine, opiates or similar poi
sons found in so ninny catarrh cures
and cough medicines.
Dr. Ramsdell, Iik commenting on ca
tarrh cpj;es, says: "I can heartily rec
ommend Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, be-'
cause they contain no cocaine nor oth
er dangerous drug found in so many
advertised catarrh cures. I havo
known of many cases of long standing
catarrh of the head and throat com
pletely cured by the dully use of these
tablets for several weeks. One case In
particular, ' which 1 could not reach
with tin inhaler or spray and where
the catarrh caused dally headaches
and a noticeable loss of hearlnrr was
entirely cured by this harmless but ef
fective remedy."
Dr. AA'ninwright says: "I never hesi
tate to prescribe Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets for catarrhal headaches and ca
tarrhal deafness because I know them
to bo perfectly safe for child or adult,
and havo seen many remarkable cures
resulting from their regular dally uso;
because they are advertised and sold
In drug stores Is no reason why any
good physician should not uso them
because we should selao upon the
means of cure wherever found."
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are espe
cially valuable 'for catarrhal colds in
children because they are pleasant to
the taste and may be used freely to
break up severe colds and croup at the
very beginning.
All druggists sell therepiedy at fifty
cents for full sized package.
