writes: "Last year I suffered for three
months with a summer cold so dis
tressing that It Interfered with my
business. I had many of the symp'
toms of hay fever, and a doctor's pre.
crlptlon did not reach my case, and
I took several medicines which seem
ad to only aggravate my case. For
tunately I Insisted upon having Fo

cured me. My wife has since used
Foley's Honey and Tar with the same
success." A. T. Hill, druggist.

AT THE PLAYHOUSES.
The first of the, subscription concerts
outlined for the coming season will be
something of a novelty for music lov
ers, and will almost approch grand
opera, la that the , members of the
quartet are all from the Metropolitan
opera company of . New York, and
their program will be arranged to re
veal the finest talents of the singers
as well as to present some of the great
concerted numbers from famous op
eras, says a Portland paper of the at
traction coming to La Grande soon.
The Heilig theater will house the
usual brilliant audience always called
forth by the splendid musical feasts
annually offered here, and the season
will formally open with the quartet of
singers on Wednesday evening, Octo
ber 7. The members of the quartet
are Madame Jacoby; the fine contral
to. All of the great roles that are suit
ed to her trumpet-like sonorous voice
are assigned to her and she always
brings to her work a refinement of
expression and artistic delicacy. Rap
pold, the soprano, has a pure, tender
and sympathetic voice and In many of
the grand opera roles she frequently
shares the first honors with Sembrlch.
- Martin, the tenor, and Campanarl.
tne baritone,-are too familiar to the
patrons of music to need much in
troduction, although Jhis Is their first
blgour together. All the four are at
liberty to make this tour only, because
it was planned to take dace before
opera rehearsals opened and only a
few of the cities will be included in
their four weeks' tour. The concert
on October 7 at the He'illg theater is
under the direction of Lois Steers
Wynn Coman and Is th first of their
winter, subscription series.
Portland's prices follow: Lower
floor, $4; balcony, first 4 rows, $3;
balcony, next five rows, $2; balcony,
last .. rows, $1.50; gallery, $1.50; un
reserved, $1; boxes, $25.
In La' Grande on October 6, the
same group of stars will be seen and
heard for $1.60 and $1.00.
Excellent Stock Company. ;
The Walters & Christ Stock com
pany opened a week's stand before a
limited-sized . house last evening, but
that they will have more out tonight
and during the remainder of their
stay here, Is a foregone conclusion,
for the troupe puts up the "real
dope." "Dora Thorne" was ably pre
sented last night under difficulties,
but the absence of two of the regular
actors was not noticed by. the audience.
The company has three first-class
actors and all of the characters are
good, in fact, much better than usual
ly comes over the road with the prices
which this troupe maintains. 'To
night's performance Is a repetition of
last night's show. Miss Graham, the
leading lady, is especially adapted for
her part and her subordinates carry
themselves' well. But honors are not
all due the leading lady, for there are
two male characters that come up to
a high standard and another that
touches the average. "Stephen Thorne"
was played by a man very capable.
Lord Earl" made a hit with the
feminine portion of the audience with
his "candy-kid" ways.
The Wayward Daughter."
"The Wayward Daughter" Is a
head-liner of no small worth and the
visitors to the Pastime theater last
evening came away pleased with the
feature film and the balance of the
film attraction. Then, too, everybody
liked the song features. To miss the
Pastime this week Is to miss an at
traction worth seeing.
A True-to-Llfe Story.
The film depicting the cruelty to
sailors and the practice of shanghalng
men Into the navy at the Sherwood, Is
a "hummer" that Is true to life. It
Is told In the film entitled "Life Is a
Game of Curds." The "Boundary" Is
also a feature film ranking high
among the picture-stories that have
come to the city of late, and that l
saying much. The songs by Miss Green
are excellent In nature and well ren
dered.
