— Grand XI.—No. 16. Vo. TWO Ways of Curing Pain. First, drug it away. Second, coax it away by the application of heat. Heat relieves almost any pain, and when it will answer it is the better remedy. Every house should contain a Hot Water Bottle. Heat can then be applied anywhere, at any time, and in an effective manner. If the bottle be wrap- ped in a woolen‘cloth it will remain hot for hours. ‘there are few things a home can contain that will be more useful than this modern convenience. ‘Vhose we haye are‘made of the highest quality of Para rubber, will last for years and cost but little.

Mantelli was very much in earnest; that she wanted a log house 24 by Bry feet, with no unnecessary frills, and that the simpler the surroundings }* the better she would be suited. As a net result, Gardner is now cutting the logs which’ will be used to construct a domicile for the prima donna during next summer’s vaca- tion time. There will be one livi room, ove small dining room an kitchen and a sleeping room. Mur Manteili writes: be “lL do not want luxurv—merél plain, ordinary comfort.

The log house will be of rough timbers, mortised together after the fashion that prevails in lumber camps, and if Mme. Mantelli wants nature practically unadorned, she will get it on the shores of Deer lake, There is not a doubt that within five years there will be a railway along the lake shore, to which this famour singer and her friends will repair next summer, but ab present the moose and deer wander practically unmolested around its 20 miles of shore line, and there is nothing to prevent complete recuperation of the most jaded pbysiyue in a sojourn of two months on the virgin shores of the backwoods resort. ' Mme. Mantelli is expected to arrive at Deer lake with Ritchie Ling, Lotta Faust and Viola Alley, as well as several other well-known metropo- litans, about the middle of May. They will have to drive sixty miles, over a corduroy road, through the pines to reach their camp.—Duluth Herald. Is Liberally Patronized. The new night train over the Great. Northern to the West, which was pub on about a month ago in response to a demand foc it from business inter- ests of the Northwest has more than justified the action of the Great Northern people in putting it on. ; Business has been especially good east-bound on the new train, It is running full daily, bringing large numbers of people from Dakota avd western Minnesota to Duluth for shopping and busiaess trips. By ao odd circumstance, business west- bound is not nearly so heavy as it is east-bound, though it is entirely ‘The train was put on Oct. 19, so it has been running over a month now, and there has been ample time to observe whether or not the repre- sentations from Duluth business in- terests that it was needed and that it would do well were true. The Duluth people who asked for the train have been amply confirmed by the busi- ness it has done since it was estab- lished. ri “The train is doing a good busi- ness,” L. D.

Next Tuesday. Manager King has booked the “Side-Tracked” Comedy company at the opera house next Thuesday even- ing, Nov. 25. This production has been put on the boards for the past Mecade, and during all that time has drawn like a king-heater, receiving the plaudits of both press and public. + It is not claimed that the play is of ideal dramatic construction, the main point about 1t being that it pleases the audience immensely, and he were a drone whom it would not make laugh heartily. The play is replete with specialtits, dancing, topical songs and droll comedy. ‘The Chicago Inter Ocean says:— “Side Tracked” never seems to grow .| old and never loses its drawing power, and the reason is that it always has | | thie best of spevialties together with up-to-date’ talking matter which con- re | stitutes the drama. The Sonix City Journal, Oct. 19, says:—Two good houses greeted ‘Side Tracked,” the old reliable, at 1} the Grand Opera House yesterday afternoon and last evening, and tak- -;ing the applause of the audience as a i measure, the performance was quite ‘Successful, says:—“Side Tracked” was the bill at the New Theater last night, Ibis was crowded and the audience was kept in hearty laughter throughout. The Kansas City Journal , says:— Taking the crowd which gathered at the Gillis Opera House yesterday afternoon and night, as a criterion, the ever amusing “Side Tracked” with the tramp comedy here, will have a record breaking week. ‘There were hundreds of people turned away. Taking it as a whole it is the’ best company that has appeared at this theater this season. ' 5 Coming nearer home the Duluth Herald has this to say of the presen- tation of “Side Tracked” at the Lyceum last Tuesday evening:—At the Lyceum’ last evening, “Side Tracked,” a comedy abounding in novelties, had a large and apprecia- tive audience. It was particularly pleasing to the gallery from which part of the house expressions of de- light were vociferus. There is no particular plot to the production, in fact it was a burlesque from start to finish and very amusing. Clarence Gliver, as Horatio Zerxes Booth, the tramp, gave a good exhibition in trampology~ lore. His eccentric speeches made a hit. James F. Fulton, as Judge Snitkins, was another favorite. William A. Adams in the part of James Montague, the railway superintendent, the villain of the piece, and Edward Kadow, as Miles Wellington, the young railroad man, a rival of the superintendent for the. hand of Bessie Reynolds, did ample justice to their parts. The production abounded in specialties among which those of Edwin Kraft and Madge Daley were, especially good. Remembes the date. Next Tues- day evening, Oct. 25th.
