Goldsmith’s Comedy With Stanford BT ST Epecial Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 17.— The 198 class of the Stanford University received a rousing welcome when it aps peared before the undergraduate —com- | munity Jast night In Assembly Hal! in | the production of .Oliver Goldsmith's | popular comedy, *She Stoops to Conquer.” | It was the annual sophomore show and | the young performers proved that the ! class contains good dramatic material, | Barring a few delays in the arranging of ¢ scenery the performance went with a hitch, The affair was in all ways a decided success. The box-office, from which the most conclusive evidence of success or faflure is obtainable, reported that the | receipts had amounted up into the four figures, Long before the curtain was raised the capacious auditorium was packed to the exits with the characteristic crowd of young colleglans, with a sparse sprink- ling of town people from Palo Alto. The familiar inn scene, was well staged and added to by the acting of one of the old English dances by a bevy of pretty misses from the second year class. The individual players came in for rounds of applause from their classmates and appreciative college chums. Miss A, El- lerbeck, who took the role of Miss Hard- castle, was undoubtedly the favorite of the audience, but Miss V. A. Steele, in the more difficult part of Mrs, Hardca: tle, displayed more genulne ability. Miss L. G. Sturgls, as Miss Neville, a dainty miss, carried her lines without a break. The male portion of the cast was well taken, but in ‘places the young men showed a tendency to get rattled. R. H. Baker, who took the part of mischiey- ous Tony Lumpkin, fmitated the drofi character to perfection. F. H. Abbott Jr., as Hardcastle, iwas well received, as were A. A. Murphy, as Sir Charles Marlow; W. M. Walker, as his son, and E. J. Swift, as Hastings. The production which under ordinary circumstances is tedlously ' long, was spread over an extraordinary length of time last night, giving every one the impression that full valué of their money had been recelved, inasmuch as the hour of midnight was approached before the last curtain was rung down. | The university orchestra, under the leadership of W. A. ‘Clark, '07, supplied the music for the occasion. Mrs. J. E. ‘Walker had full charge of the produc- tion and acted in the capacity of stage manager.

PHORE TRUST - [+ s st T0 BE CURBED o City of Chieago Will Proceed to Obtain a Forfeiture of Corporation Franchise SUIT TO BE FILED Arbitrary and Arrogant Attitude of Company Re- I sponsible for the Action —_— CHICAGO, Feb. 17—/ tion Counsel MacLain Hoyne to-day sub- mitted a report to Mayor Dunne upon the litigation now in progress between the city of Chicago and the Chicago Tele- phone Company, in which he urged that the franchise of the company be forfeited | to the city. The statement of Hoyne to the Mayor, in part, reads: “In view of the fact that tl | Telephone Company . is now negotiating with the clty for a new franchise, and in view of the arbitrary and arrogant attl tude which this company has maintaine for so many years past toward the cit government, its officials and the public at| large, I would respectfully recn)mmvn.d{ that the city urgently request the State’s| Attorney to proceed with all possible dis- | patch to obtain a forfeiture of the lcense | and privileges granted to the company by the ordinance of January 4, 1889. The| present mnegotiations can then proceed upon the basis that the telephone com- pany, at the present time, is a mfire tres- | passer in the streets of the city. Mayor Dunne, after a consultation with Hoyne and other city officlals, decided to| ask the State's Attorney to proceed against the telephone company in ac-i cordance with the suggestions of Hoyme. | It was decided to allow, during the progress of the legal proceedings against | the company, the issuance of temporary licenses, revokable at will, so that the telephone service in the city will not be} interrupted RAILROAD STATION TO COST $20,000,000 Six Companies to Ereet Mag- nificent Structure at Kanst KANSAS CITY, ,. n.—E.

And no testimonials are ublished to show what it has done. e prefer that cach sick one should learn its power by a test. That is the quickest ‘way to convince you. So we offer to buy the first bottle and give it to you to try. Compare it with common remedies; see how much more it does. - Don't cling to the old treatments blindly. = The scores of diseases which are due to germs call - for germicide. Please lTearn what Liquozone can do. What Liquozone Is The virtues of Liquozone are- de- rived solely from gases, by a process requiring large apparatus, and from 8 to 14 days’ time. No alcohol, no narcotics are in it. Chemists of the highest class direct the making. The result is to obtain from these harm- less gases a powerful tonic-germicide. The great value of Liquozone lies in the fact that it is deadly to germs, yet harmless to you. Germs are of vege- table origin; and this gas-made prod- uct, when absorbed by them, stops their activities. We publish an offer of $1000 for a.disease germ. that it can- not kill. But to the body Liquozone is exhilarating, vitalizing, purifying. It is helpful in the exfreme. That is its main distinction. Com- mon germicides are poisons . when taken internally, Tlmpis why medi- cine proves so nearly helpless in a germ disease. Liquozone is a tonic. We Paid $100,000 For the American rights to Liquo- zone, after hundreds of tests had been made with it. After its power had been demonstrated, again and again, in the most difficult germ diseases. Then we spent, in two years, more than ten times that sum to let others test it at our expense. The result is that millions of people, scattered everywhere, have shared in the bene- fits of this invention. We make the same offer to you. We ask you to prove, at our cost, how much this product means to you. Let Liquozone itself show how wrong it is to suffer from a trouble that it cures. Germ Diseases Most of our sickness has, in late years, been traced to germ attacks. The list of known germ diseases now numbers about one hundred. Some germs—as in skin troubles— directly attack the tissues. Some create toxins, causing stich troubles as Rheumatism, Blood Poison, Kidney Disease and nerve weakness. Some de- stroy vital organs, as in Consumption. Some—like the germs of Catarrh— create inflammation; some cause in- digestion. Directly or indirectly, near- ly -every_ serious ailment is a result. Such diseases call for Liquo- ! zone—not kill germs. _ Every germ attack, no matter what its symptoms, calls for a germicide. The mildness of Liquozone makes | some of its results seem almost in- credible. But in that mildness lies the power that germ diseases need. And diseases which have resisted medicine for years often yield at once to it. 50c Bo:tle Free Ii you, need Liquozone, and have | never tried it, please send us this cou- pon. We will then mail you an order on a local druggist for a full-size bot- tle, and will pay the druggist our- selves for it. This is our free gift, made to convince you; to let the prod- uct itself show you what it can do. In| Jjustice to yourself, please accept it to- day, for it places you-under no obliga- tions whatever. Liquozone costs soc. and $1.
