M7dl0t BOOST ME CORPORATIONS Oommeroii.1 Club Committee Makes Bee ommendatioQi to Council. BIGGEST INCREASE FOR MOTOR LINE Council, ftltllnaj as Board of Review, Hears the Committer, bat Ad Joarns W Ithoat Taking Any Action. At a meeting yesterday afternoon of the special committees appointed Saturday by the real estate committee and the execu tive committee of the Commercial club, the latter body decided to go before the city council sitting as a board of review and suggest that the assessment of the motor, water works and gas companies be Increased. The motor company had been assessed by City Assessor Hardin at $72o,0"o, this being an Increase of $25,000 last year. The special committee consisting of R, B. Wal lace, E. 11. Lougee and C. T. Officer, ap pointed Saturday by the real estate com mittee to investigate the matter, recom mended that the Board of Review be re quested to raise the assessment to $1,000,0.0 on the grounds that the company's fran chise was a valuable asset. City Assessor Hardin had assessed the Citlxens' Oas and Electric company at $1G7,0iX, and Frank F. Everest, former city assessor, who had been appointed a com mittee of one Saturday, reported that In his opinion the company should be as sessed at least at $200,000, and as In the case of the motor company the executive committee concurred In his opinion. While no committee had been appointed last Saturday to look Into the matter of the assessment of the water works com pany, the meeting yesterday afternoon ar rived at the conclusion that the assess ment, placed by Mr. Hardin at $180,000, was too low, and It waa decided to recom mend to the Board of Review that it be raised to $3o0,000. To Increase the assessment of the water works company will not benefit the city directly, as the company under Its char ter is exempted from paying municipal taxes. It Is required, however, to pay state, county and school taxes. The committee when it went befHi the Board of. Review last night charsCvl its recommendation In regard to the assess ment of the motor company and suggested that It be raised to $900,000 in place of $1,000,- 000, as previously agreed upon. Relative to the assessment .of the east half of the Union Pacific railroad bridge, which had been assessed by Mr. Hardin at $326,000, this being $5,000 more than last year, the committee recommended that It be increased to $750,000. The question of raising these asses: ments, as suggested by the executive com mittee of tho Commercial club, was dls cussed at length, but the aldermen declined to take any action without further con. siderlng the matter and adjourned until to night. rested late last night, charged with steal ing a quantity of rope, tools and other articles from the Green packing house plant on the outskirts of the city. Richard Oreen, owner of the stolen goods, placed their value at several hundred dollars. Most of the stolen goods were found to have been sold to Whltebook, a Junk dealer on Broadway, who named Hickman as the man who sold them. Hickman on being token Into custody dented the theft and claimed he had bought the stuff from an other man whose name he did not know. NOTICE TO BIDDERS.

SECRE T OUT THE DOOR STANDS WIDE OPEN To refute the many false and malicious attacks, bogus formulas and other untruthful statements published con cerning Doctor Pierce's World-famed Family Medicines the Doctor has decided to publish all the ingredients entering into his "Favorite Prescription" for women and his equally popular tonic alterative known as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Hereafter every bottle of these medicines, leaving the great laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y., will bear upon it a full list of all the ingredients entering into the compound. Both are made entirely from native roots, barks and herbs. The ingredients of the "Golden Medical Discovery" being Golden Seal root, Queen's root, Wild-cherry bark, Mandrake root, and Bloodroot. Why is it so many have been strengthened and benefited by the tonic effect of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery ? It is because at this time of the year people feel run down, nerveless, sleepless and worn out Poisons have accumulated in their body during the long winter. The blood stores up a lot of waste pro duct which poisons the system. That is why in the spring and early summer a tonic is almost a necessity. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery being made of medicinal plants, is next to Nature and the best tonic you can use. For the same reason that vegetables and greens are good for the system at this time of the year, so is it true that a tonic made up entirely of medicinal plants, without the use of alcohol, is the proper medicine to take at this time. It fills the blood with rich, red blood corpuscles. It gives you a feeling of strength, and it puts sunshine into your system as no other remedy can. That is why Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery has been such a favorite for the past forty years. He is not afraid to open his laboratory to the public, and he invites everyone to visit his Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., to see how system atically the sick are taken care of and cured, as well as looking over his huge laboratory and seeing the scientific f methods - of preparing this Mvonderful tonic Neither man nor woman can be handsome who has impurities in the blood, for it will show in pimples, boils, and eruptions, in the dark circles under the eyes and in the sallow com plexion. After taking "Golden Medical Discovery" you are bound to have pink cheeks and a fresh complexion. The muscles get the good, rich, red blood, that puts on strength. It is a flesh builder, but not a fat builder. As an example of the good results thus obtained, note the following letter: "In the year 1899, I had an attack of indigestion and got so bad that my home doctor said he could not do me any good," writes Mr. G. Trent, of Gordonville, Texas, " I wrote to you and you advised me to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, so I bought six bottles, and when I commenced using it I was so weak I could hardly walk about the house. By the time I had used one bottle my stomach and bowels commenced to heal. There were strips of false membrane as "large as a man's two fingers thrown off, and I had a great deal of misery in my stomach and especially in the lower part. I could not eat anything without having much distress after ward, but by the time I had taken eight bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery' I was sound and well, and could eat anything I pleased without suffering in the least. Could also do as much work in a day as I could. I have not suffered from the trouble since." ever rit Piprrp'c Good temPer is lareely a riCl O matter of good health, and good health is largely a matter of healthy activity of the bowels. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They are safe, sure and speedy, and once taken do not have to be taken always. One little " Pellet" is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic They never gripe. By all druggists. The selfish seller who urges thinking of the larger profit hell make, and not of your best good. Pellets some substitute is AT THE PLAY HOUSES. Tbe Other Girl" at tbe Boyd. The Other Girl," a comedy in three acts. by Augustus Thomas; under direction or Charles Frohman. The cast: Mr. Fulton Frank Burbeck Henry Waterman . Ralph Delmore ames fTeaencK itaymnna Mra. Waterman Grace Henderson Dr. Clifton Bradford Richard Bennett Miss Catherine Fulton Doris Keane Katelle Klttredire Adelaide Prince Reginald Lumley ..Wallace Eddlnger Ann Maggie Fielding j udge Newton liates josepn nuing Mr. Taylor Francis Byrne , Mr. Sheldon Tully Marshall Maggie Catherine iToetor Myrtle Morrison Ella Ray When tho names of Augustus Thomas and Charles Frohman are coupled together as author and producer of a play, the pub lic has a right to expect something even better than what is usually classed aa good. In the case of "The Other Girl" this ex pectation is more than realised. Here is a really clever modern comedy, the simplest of ingredients being so commingled and served as to afford a most delectable dish. A preacher, a prizefighter, a Judge, a news paper reporter, a good fellow, another good fellow who is married, a gentleman who is so well satisfied that he is one that he can not understand any one else being one, a woman who is "masterful," a girl with a soul and one without, and a girl who Is worldly wlew and city broke these latter three alternating as "the other" with Just soupcon of servants to add the proper flavor of an. aristocratic menage, and you have the personnel. You must see the piece to get thoroughly acquainted with the mixture. The preacher loves the girl w!tn the soul and tries to tell her so, in his circumlo cutory manner. He is also being "In structed" in certain athletic branches by 'Kid Garvey, the best man In the world In his class," whose name is Sheldon, but the minister doesn't know be is the prize fighter. The girl without soul falls In love with the prtsenghter, and they pre pare to elope. The "other girl" stops the elopement, and is carried away herself in the champion's auto. They run over a man on the street, who turns out to be Lumley, good fellow, who Is engaged to marry the fool girl, who has made her folly the more apparent by kicking out o panels of a priceless door, brought from the palace of the Medici by the mas terful woman. The police arrest the elopers and the fool girl's name is given Instead of the "other" girl's. This Is brought about In an act and a half, and another act and a half Is devoted to straightening out the story and getting things to running right again. It Is all handled cleverly, the situations being most natural and the comedy un restrained, to the end that the whole af fair is an unqualified delight. Mr. Thomas ha never excelled this work as a pure bit of wholesome fun The piece has another advantage of not having a really "star" part tn It, although three of the roles stand out strong. Mr. Marshall gives a well sustained rendition of Sheldon, the prizefighter, doing some wonderfully unique, but effective lying to screen the girls who- sre Involved, and mingling worldly philosophy tn the curt phrases of his class with the elegantly phrased sentences of the polished people, among whom he has been thrust. ?r. Ben nett Is splendid as Rev. Dr. Bradford, while Mr. Burbeck Is almost perfection as Mr. Fulton, the smugly respectable old gentleman, whose gentility Is of the most exclusive sort, snd who comes an awful cropper In the finish. Francis Byrne acts the part of a reporter as If he had taken lessons on some good newspaper, and Mr. Whiting Is a good Judge Bates, even if ha does make a mistake that no experi enced attorney would ever be guilty of trying to bluff a newspaper reporter who haa the ev'.lencs of hla own eyes to sup port him In his story. Miss Prince is an accomplished actress, and makes her Eatelle Klttredge, "the other girl," a womanly woman, with muck common sense and real character. Miss Keane Is a trifle less than satisfying as the girl who wanted to run away with the prizefighter, but suffers only In compari son with the excellent work the others are doing. Miss Henderson's Mrs. Waterman la well conceived and carefully acted, and Miss Ray Is all right In her part of the girl who really knows enough to make the I Kid prove everything he tells her. Others I In he cast are equal to the task of mak i lng the performance an excellent whole. "The Other Girl" will be repeated this evening. WOMAN IN CLUB AN CHARITY.
