CURRENT ATTRACTIONS.
Sunday—Matinee and night, “Spotless
Town.”
Friday night, “King Dodo.”
The past week in theatrical circles was
not as lively as has recently been the
case, there having been but three offer-
ings. The week began with the presenta-
tion on Sunday matinee of “Man to
Man,” a melo-drama of the very stren-
uous type, which was just about worth
the price of admission. On Tuesday night
the bill was “A Hot Old Time,” the farce
comedy made famous by the Rays. The
performance "was thoroughly enjoyable,
there being many splendid features. The
week closed with Miss Roselle Knott in
“When Knighthood Was In Flower,” a
play which was given with so much suc-
cess by Miss Julia Marlowe and later by
Miss Effie Ellsler. A notice of this latter
attraction appears in another portion of
this afternoon’s Tribune.
There will be even less doing this week
than last, two being the sum total of the
attractions which Manager Weis has to
provide for the entertainment of his
patrons. The first will be on Sunday mat-
inee and night, when “Spotless Town”
will be presented. This is a cartoon play,
being founded upon the advertisements of
a certain preparation which have appeared
in the street cars and are quite familiar
to every one. The company is featuring
Miss Leila Shaw, who is said to be an
exceptionally beautiful woman. The other
attraction will be “King Dodo,” on Friday
night. Last season Galvestonians saw
Mr. Raymond Hitchcook in the play, but
Mr. Richard Golden, a splendid comedian,
who will be remembered for his clever
work in “Old Jed Prouty,” and later in
“Foxy Quiller,” is appearing this year in
the role of the great potentate who ruled
over Dodoland. “King Dodo” is just
chock full of good music, and its presen-
tation here on a previous occasion brings
back pleasant recollections. Mr. Golden
is said to have made a decided hit in the
leading part.
“Spotless Town” is Leslie Morosco’s
latest production for the amusement of
his thousands of patrons, who have come'
to look forward to all he .Joes with
curiosity as well as interest, becaus.e he
is always providing novelties, and never
serves up roast chestnuts nor theatrical
hash. Therefore the announcement of' a
new production by Leslie Morosco means,
a great d^al and its arrival in every town
cn the circuit is awaited with pleasant
anticipation. In “Spotless Town,” an ef-
fort is made to do something better in
musical farce comedy than has ever been
done before. The cast has been most
carefully selected for its special fitness
for this piece and the scenery -is most
elaborate and mechanically calculated to
surprise and please.
To say that the piece is funny would
be almost unnecessary were it not that
in “Spotless Town” there should be more
fun than is usually found in musical farce
comedy. The theme atone is funny. Im-
agine a man being fined ten dollars for
having a spot on his necktie or on his
dog’s nose. Then imagine two men com-
ing in covered with mud to buy the town
and run it. Any attempt to do more than
indicate the astounding sequences of the
story would be futile, for “Spotless
Town” stands alone pre-eminent in its
solitude a “jewel in an Ethiop’s nose”
glistening and amazing all who see it.
Somebody said years and years ago if
you can make the people laugh you own
them. Mr. Morosco, therefore, must have
a large proprietary right in every town
that “Spotless Town” is shown in, for it
is the most laughing productin the busi-
ness of its kind.
“Spotless Town” will be the attraction
at the Grand opera house on Sunday mat-
inee and night. Prices matinee, 25c and
50c; night, 25c, 50c and 75c.
“King Dodo,” the pretty comedy opera
in which Henry W. Savage offers Richard
Golden this season, will be the attraction
at the Grand opera house on Friday night.
“King Dodo” is the production of Pixley
and Luders. Author and composer have

A Few Reasons Why You
Should Read
I
gone back 40 years for the title and in-
spiration of the opera. The “dodo” bird
was one of the early successors of Mother
Goose in the affections of the American
youth. He was presented as a squatty
member of the feathered kingdom with a
useless pair of stubby wings and no tail
at all. His main features was an owl-
like expression. Librettist Fixley re-
garded him as the prototype of the typical
comic opera king and inasmuch as the
hero of “King Dodo” is a monarch he
was so christened. His fall, including a
fall into a fountain of eternal youth which
makes him a boy again, form the plot
and as he is presented by Richard Golden
he is irresistably funny. In music and
libretto “King Dodo” suggests the old
style of Strauss-Offenbach creations more
than the modern musical comedy. In place
of cake walks and rag time there are
Amazon marches and conspirators chor-
uses. In the company headed by Richard
Golden are Maude Williams, Gertrude
Barnes, Isabel Underwood, Daisy Hamlin,
Arthur Wooley, Charles W. Meyers, Harry
Davies and Horace G. Hain. A sprightly
chorus of well trained voices and an aug-
mented orchestra of master musicians
comprise in all a most pretentious orga-
nization. , ;
Says Mr. Krehbiel in the New York
Tribune of Nov. 8.
“Mr. Herbert Witherspoon gave a song
recital in Mendelssohn hall yesterday
afternoon, and brought a fine artistic
equipment to the performance of the dig-
nified and beautiful task implied in this
statement. He is a bass singer with an
agreeable, flexible and extensive voice to
begin with, and, which is even more es-
sential to success, intelligence, good taste
and correct feeling.” ■'
SPRINKLED SALT IN WOUNDS”'
Deed of Klu Klux Gang in Kentucky—
Attacked by Neighbors.
Whitesburg, Ky„ Jan. 23.—A klu klux
klan in Letcher county last night took
Mrs. Elizabeth Mullins, a widow, from
her bed and whipped her unmercifully with
switches, sprinkling her naked back with
salt after the lashes had drawn blood.
The klu klux were attacked while at
their ghastly work by a posse of neigh-
bors, led by James Mullins, a brother-in-
law of the widow, and a desperate fight
with revolvers and Winchesters followed.
Mullins and one of his followers, Harvey
Moore, were killed.
Two of the klu klux klan, whose names
are said to be Hooker Smith and Haley,
are members of a notorious Cumberland
mountain gang. Both were wounded and
taken prisoners. They were bound to k
stake and a fire started under; them;
ing them to reveal itha^pames: of their
associates, who were recognized as among
the most desperate of mountain outlaws.
They made for the Cumberland mountains
and a posse is now in pursuit. Scandal-
mongers had connected the name of Mrs.
Mullins with that of, one of her hired
men, but as shown by the developments
of the battle, the neighbors took up for
her. Her assailants were people who came
from at least 30 miles up the country. It
is said the officers in pursuit will be killed
if they corner the men, of whom there are
ten.

RED-HOT IRONS
/
Applied to the Boy’s Feet to Force Him
To Locate Money.
Chicago, Jan. 23.—An amazing story of
outrage was made public here. Krank
Oliver, a 19-year-old negro, was cruelly
tortured by two masked bandits, who ap-
plied red-hot irons to his feet in their
efforts to make him reveal the hiding
place of his mother’s money.
Failing to secure a confession from the
agonized youth the robbers felled him by
a blow of an iron pipe and left him for
dead on the floor.
This almost incredible crime happened
in broad daylight in Oliver’s home, 419
Twenty-ninth street. Writhing with pain
from the fearful tortures, the boy, who
had been gagged, was unable to attract
the attention of the neighbors.
Oliver was asleep in bed when the men
forced an entrance to the house during the
absence of Mrs. Oliver. The young man is
in a critical condition as the result of the
injuries he suffered.
Repeatedly questioned he insisted that
he knew of no hidden money. When Mrs.
Oliver returned she found her son bound
to the bed and unconscious.
FORBIDS TEACHING OF ENGLISH.
By Associated Press.
Victoria, B. C., Jan. 23.—A letter from
Valdes tells of Russian priests dominating
a large portion of the population of west-
ern Alaska, forbidding the teaching of
the English language to those under their
control and generally endeavoring to Rus-
sianize the natives of that section of Alas-
ka.

i Only Medicine in the Barracks,
* Green Lake, Wash., May 6, 1903. BIB
Physical health has a great influence on a person’s life. A sick mother means a wretched home, especially |
so when the family is poor and cannot afford to keep help. I have known hundreds or women, poor sick W
mothers, worn out working women, and invalids or chronic patients who became well and happy through the use ||||||| ®
of Wine of Cardui. . , , W
My special attention was called to it four years ago when I caught a severe cold, being exposed tor over an
hour in the rain away from home. Inflammation of the womb followed, with all the painful and serious conse- tSnk
quences. One of our lassies advised me strongly to use Wine of Cardui, telling me of a number who had been '
cured through its use. I used six bottles, and was not only cured but l L n ft
gained nine pounds in weight and felt ten years younger. fl • \a U V A
I have advised sick women to use it since. It is the only medicine ju-AAf v-
we keep constantly on hand for sick women in our barracks. It has ® 0 V W

endorse it. _ \Ji
WIN&GHRDUI
Captain Habely is the leader of the Salvation Army in her own town. Her life is given up to self-
sacrificing labors and she is a woman of high character. Her heart goes out to all suffering women.
Mrs. Habely is in a position to know the quality of Wine of Cardui, as the most distressing cases of
female diseases come to her attention. Women come to her with menstrual disorders, bearing down pains
and leucorrhcea, which by long neglect have become chronic. She says Wine of Cardui has never failed
to relieve in these severe tests. And Wine of Cardui made Captain Habely herself a well woman when she
was suffering female diseases. While cheap enough for any one, Wine of Cardui is used largely
H in the homes of the rich, being the best medicine women can secure at any price. Will you secure
a $1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist today?

NEGRO LEADERS
Will Attend National Republican Conven-
tion and Demand Recognition.
Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 23.—Negro lead-
ers of Alabama are 'arranging to send a
trainload of members of the colored race
in this and other southern states to the
Republican national convention in Chi-
cago for the purpose of representing to
the party authorities the manner in which
the “Lily White” Republicans are alleged
to have excluded the negro from the
party organization, and to demand their
rights in the councils of the party and as
citizens.
The. leaders of the movement not only
hope to have the party authorities de-
clare against the “Lily White” policy of
ruling the negro, but will also seek to
have inserted in the Republican national
platform a plank against the disfran-
chisement of the negroes.
An effort is being made to have Booker
T. Washington lead the party.

VACCINATING CALFS.
German Idea of Preventing Tuberculosis
in Cattle.
By Associated Press.
Berlin, Jan. 23.—Every calf in Germany
will be vaccinated upon reaching its third
month with specifically prepared tuber-
culosis bacilli taken from human beings
if the proposals of Prof. Behring, the
great bacteriologist and opponent of Prof.
Koch’s tuberculosis theories, are adopted
by the reichstag. Prof. Behring pleaded
the adoption of an imperial law to this
end in conference with the ministry of
agriculture. The professor also proposes
to add a gramme of formalin to every
ten-quart can of milk. He maintains that
fresh milk contains elements fatal to dis-
ease bacteria, but that it quickly loses
them. Formalin, he adds, would conserve
these elements indefinitely.
THE TRIBUNE’S DAILY FASHION HINT.
AN INEXPENSIVE FROCK.
This pretty frock can be made very in-
expensively, and when finished makes a
very smart costume for afternoon teas,
luncheons or any other occasion where a
dressy frock is necessary.
The skirt, waist and sleeves are all
pleated in the same size box pleats, and
at intervals as shown in the illustration
squares of a heavy mesh lace are in-
serted.
These squares can be bought very in-
expensively now, some of the larger
shops selling real Cluny, of course rather
coarse, for 25 cents a square. The frock
can be made of a thin woollen fabric-like
etamine, which can be had for 60 cents a
yard, or voile, which of course comes
higher. This design is prettiest in pale
tan or light blue, with the lace of pure
white.
