Stomach Trouble and Constipation N Those who are afflicted with stom ach trouble and constipation should read the following: "I have never found anything so good for stomach trouble and constipation as Cham berlain's Tablets. I have used them off and on now for the past two years. ""They not only regulate the action of the bowels but stimulate the liver and keep one's 4 body in a healthy condition," writes Mrs. Ben jamin Hooper, Auburn, N. Y. COMMITTEE IS SUES A FINAN CIAL SUMMARY WINTER LYCEUM COURSE SHOWS A DEFICIT IN SPITE OF LARGE ATTENDANCE HOPE COURSE WILL PAY OUT Guarantors Serve Without Compen sation or Even 'Complimen tary' Admission. From Saturday's Daily. The Lyceum Committee desire to submit the following report of the financial condition of the course for the present season: asmits Senson Tic-Wei Children's weapon tickets 8id, 14.". at $1.00 each $n:,.M dult season tickets sold. ::14 at $:.0) each fii'S.OO Mugrl lmiMMioiiM , Ii.ivrnny Quintet: 7 reserved seats at 1'iC ...... . .1 ' jrallery seats at .70 Chief I'au'iuliean: 7 reserved se;.ts at c . 2 S gallery stats at . 2.00 14 srullery soldiers at ir-... :M0 DEFICIT 163.0--, $0.-1.40 I.I I ll'.v Mut.

It is hoped this can be done by the further sale of season tickets and through single admissions. We are confronted by a rather peculiar situation in this respect, namely, that the house is practically full each time and yet the receipts are not enough to pay out. When we analyse a little more closely, we find that there are 507 reserved seats in the opera house, including the boxes and balcony. The opera house management retain 22 seats over which the committee have no control. There are 11 other com plimentary tickets, including the ministers and the Journal force, mak ing a total of 33 seats from which no revenue is obtainable. These 33 seats deducted from the capacity of the house, 507, leave 474 seats available for sale. You will notice by the statement there are 439 sea son tickets sold so that 15 seats are all we have left for reserved! single admissions. Let it be said here that no member of the committee receives any complimentary seats or compen sation whatever. The upper gallery is still available and it is hoped some arrangement can be made to fill it for the remain ing four numbers of the course. It would seem from the large crowds that have attended the two first numbers that it surely was a finan cial success,-but we fail to consider the low price of these tickets which net only 16 2-3 cents per seat for the children's tickets and 33 1-3 cents per seat for each adult ticket. The capacity of the opera house is not large enough to support such a high grade course at such low prices. However, the committee has under taken it and have every confidence that with the hearty support thus far acorded the enterprise it can be successfully 'terminated. The next number is Poluhni & Co., magicians and musicians, Thurs day night, December 12 th. This promises to be one of the headliners of the course. Watch lor further announcements.
