Globe says that President McKinley
and his administration were endorsed In
no uncertain manner at the annual ban

in Odd Fellows' hall that night.
"Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina,
and Congressman Linney, of tie same
state,, with Congressman Roberts, of
the Seventh Massachusetts district,
were the principal speakers, and to
each was accorded an enthusiastic re
ception, when introduced by the toast
master, Senator Howard K. Hender
son: "More than four hundred persons
were present, the gallery toeing occupied-by
women and their escorts. The
hall was profusely decorated, and the
banquet was one of the most suecessfuf
ever held in the city.
"The visiting statesmen held a recep

early in the evening and were there
met by several hundred prominent
men. Afterward) they were taken di

"Mayor Shepherd was the first speak

city and paid them a high compliment
for the port they are taking in national
legislation."
It is thought the elections committee
which has under consideration the
Dockery-Bellamy case, will submit a
report next week. Chairman Weaver
will .be absent from the city for a few

BROWN'S IN TOWN
-
"One unending laugh," is the way the
management describes the mew farce,
"Brown's in Town," which will be seen,
at the Grand next Tuesday night .
The latest farcial effus'ion, which has
a theme entirely different (from any
thing yet seen here on that order, was
written Vcar the sole purpose of amusing
the theatre-going public. and the
amusement is creiaited in a logical and.
reasonable manner. The duty of the
farce writer is much easier and lees ex
acting thai! that of the dramatist, who
writes serious plays. He does not find
rit necessary to shun the theatric ef
fects, to keep melodrama out of his.
drama, or exclude farce or comedy, but
a deliir;ous lumDie or inccxQgxunij
whose entire function is to be funny.
If the author of a farce excites plenty
of laughter, without recource to vul
garity, all eUse is forgiven. "Brown's in
Town," however, is built on infinitely
more original lines than the farces of
recent production. It contains many.
consistent .complications-, a good story
that is quaintly told, and from the rise
to the fall Of the curtain it is full of in
terest. There 'are some pretty, musical
numbers, an entirely new departure in
this style of comedy. When 'Brown"

Unnealtny Kidneys Make Impure Blood,
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your,
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or but
of order, they fail, to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
o-vter-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modem science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's

soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases

H 2IUSIC FESTIVAL BOTES.
Schubert's wifijiiihed Symphony in B
a . Minor Whica Will be Given.
The more one studies the magnitude
Of vne approaching, music festival and
hthe highly artistic character of those
taking part in it the more . evident it
becomes that the citizens of Asheville
have in store a rare treat. Other cities
many times larger than Asheville feel
that they have accomplished a exeat
feat in having Theodore Thomas and
his orchestra alone while the plucky
little city of Western North Carolina
will offer not only three superb concerts
by one of the greatest musical organiz
ations in America, but has also engag
ed some of the finest vocal talent in
Boston and New York, and in addition
has organized and trained a large
chorus of 125 voices to assist in these
concerts.
Taking it all and! all the like has
never been attempted before in Ashe
ville no, not in the south.
Imagine a chorus of 125 voices with
several eminent soloists accompanied
by a perfectly trained orchestra of
sixty different instruments how grand
It must be!
Let it never be said again either by
visitor or by citizen that nothing good
in the way of entertainments ever
comes to Asheville. The best the coun
try affords will be here the 21st -and
?2d of March .
Now let us proye our appreciation for
best by crowding the opera house to
the utmost. May it never be said that
our fair little s'ister, Spartanburg, can
have these festivals, 'but that Ashe
ville, cultured Asheville, the city that
is set upon a hill and because of her
beauty and culture Is Inviting all peo
ple to come and behold and linger
among us, cannot attain to anything so
hi-h.
Come, let us give the enterprise a
right royal support, and make it the
greatest financial as well as artistic
success that Asheville has ever under
taken .
The orchestra will render Schubert's
Symphony, B minor (unfinished)."
One of the most lamentable misfor
tunes in all music is 'the incomplete
state in which the composer left this
beautiful symphony. Why he should
have abandoned it or dteferred its com
pletion It is not easy to comprehend,
as he is known to have aferwards com
posed one more (the great C Major
Symphony), and since it is further be
lieved that he wrote still another, the
manuscript of which, unhappily, has
disappeared. The score of the B Minor
Symphony published in 1867 and
brought to this country and first per
formed by Mr. Thomas, who chanced
to hear it while in Vienna comprises
the opening Allegro and the Andante
movements, and nine measures of wnat
was to have been its third movement
cfjScherzo. The first movement opens,
Without preamble, with a dreatay,
rfiysterious unison passage given out,
pianissimo, by the 'cellos and basses in
Octaves. The violins enter at the ninth
measure with a trembling, restless fig
ure, which forms the background for
the plaintive, wailing melody which the
oboe and clarinet bring in four meas
ures further on. Like the indistinct vi
sions of" a dream this wavering-, wan-
f eiring figure continues until, after a
long sustained! tone In the bassoon's and
horns, the sleeper seems to heave
deep sigh of relief as the dream pic
tures shift to a pleasanter and more
restful vision. The development
(drawn almost entirely from1 the open
ing theme) is very extended and ornate,
and a short coda concludes the move
ment. The second and), regrettedly,
tje last movement is of vast length
and teems with beautiful melody. It
opens with a theme in the strings,
punctuated at intervals by entrances of
the wind instruments. The second
theme is announce, by the clarinet
against a syncopated string accompan
iment. The movement' closes with a
brief coda, constructed largely from
fragments of its principal themes.;

What Mother's Love and Tender Care Failed to Accomnliah
Hood's Sarsaparilla Promptly Effected.
" I would cry every time I washed my baby ! n
This plaintive sentence tells a volume of mother's agony.
In such a dreadful condition from eruptions and sores, Mrs.
Guerinot's child received the tenderest care that mother's love
could give, and the most skillful medical attendance that
father's means could provide. Yet all failed until they turned
to Hood's Sarsaparilla, which in this as in thousands of 6ther
cases has seemed to be the last resort, yet it has not failed. The
result was inevitable just as certain to cure as that day follows
night. Evening's weeping turned to morning's rejoicing. That
is what Hood's Sarsaparilla will do for you if, you will only let
ic. just reaa Mrs. liuerinots
Hood's Sarsaparilla testimonial :
" My baby was
three months old
when festers broke
out on his neck.
The openings ap
peared like boils,
spread down his
back and along the
spinal column until
it appeared as one
mass of sores. Our
doctor prescribed for
the case, but the
disease spread and
the little one's suffer
ings increased and
he became a mere
shadow. His p?tiful
wailing was heart-rending. It
nearly crazed me, weary and
worn-out as I was from constant
watching and nursing. The dis
charge of matter was so profuse
that it was necessary to dress his
back three times a day. Every
time the bandages were removed
blood would flow and for a time
even powders and different salves
did not check the trouble. It be
came necessary to wrap the
little body in silk. When the
trouble appeared at its height our
anxiety was increased by the ap
pearance of a boil just outside the
lid alongside one of his eyes.
We feared lest the scrofulous mat
ter get into the eye, and even if
his life was spared to us, that his
sight would become affected
" I had about given up hope of
saving my baby, when I was
asked why I did not try Hood's
Sarsaparilla. Eager for anything
that held out hope, I procured a
bottle of Hood's. I also got a
cake of Hood's Medicated Soap
and a box. of Hood's Olive Oint
ment. I immediately laid aside
all the doctor's N medicines and
INSPECTING ONE OP THE BIG GUNS BEFORE
SOUTH AFRICA.
THIS BIG GUN HAS BEEN DRAGGED FROM LADTSMITH TO THE
HILLS THAT GUARD THE TUGELA
Squirrels and Turkey Calls.
Did it ever occur to you to use a turkey
call in squirrel hunting? I once had
three gray squirrels op a large gum tree
and had tried to slip up to them, but they
saw me and hid. I went up as close to
the tree as I wanted and sat down to
wait for them to come out. 1 sat there
20 or 30 minutes, and they did not move
that I could see. I was in a fairly good
turkey country and so got out my turkey
call and made a few calls, and in less
than two minutes all three squirrels were
in sight, and in a good deal less time they
were all mine on the ground. I take it
that they thought that if it was safe for
a turkey to be calling they wre in no
danger. I would like to know if any one
else ever had a like experience, and. if I
ever get in a like situation I will make
experiments until I am satisfied. Forest

gave the infant the
smallest dose of the
Sarsaparilla pre
scribed, and then
took off the bandages
and washed the mass
of sores with the
Medicated Soap'.
Next I applied the
Olive Ointment and
adjusted a fresh
wrapping of silk.
A change was notice
able the next Sun
day, giving assur
ance that we had at
last hit upon the
treatment to success
fully battle the poisonous blood.
44 Slowly but with a perceptible
gain, the discharge grew less, the
inflammation disappeared, the sur
rounding skin took on a more
healthy color, and what a short
time before had been a mass of
raw flesh began to scale over and
gradually a thin skin formed and
the scales dropped off. Not a scar
or blemish around the eye, neck or
back or anywhere on his body is
to be found, and now at eight
months old he is as bright, healthy,
and full grown as any child of that
age. Less than two bottles of
Hood's Sarsaparilla, aided by
Hood's Medicated Soap and Hood's
Olive Ointment, accomplished this
wonderful cure.

gratitude towards Hood's Sarsapa
