THEY MABELED THE GIRLS.
How a Troupe of Pemale Variety Per
formers Retired to Private Life.
Two or three weeks ago Aleck
Bosustow, a well known manager
of theatrical enterprises in the
west, went into the Black Hills
country with a small troupe of va
riety performers, most of the mem
bers of which were young women.
He arrived here last night from
the hills with more money than he
knew what to do with, and an
nounced that he would organize
another company and go back
there as soon as possible. As the
attractions he had with him a
month ago are not to be seen in
the vicinity, he was asked what
had become of them.
"The women are all up in the
hills," he replied, "every one of
them. That's the beauty of the
thing. We hadn't been tnere long
before the girls began to receive
propositions of marriage. I saw
that there was nothing but ruin
ahead of me unless I could head
off this thing, and so I told the
girls that while they were looking
out for thptnselves they should not
forget me. I had brought them
into the promised land and I was
deserving of a considerate treat
ment. You see I had always
treated my people pretty decent,
and they felt friendly toward me.
My proposition was that the girls
who wanted to accept offers of
marriage should do so, but that
they should inform their admirers
that they were under contract with
me for one year, and that these
contracts could be broken only by
the payment of a forfeit of $2.50.
They agreed to this, and I insisted
on nothing but that they should
all hang together and go with me
to Sturgis, where wo would dis
band. With this understanding we
set out for Sturgis. The boys from
Rapid City, Lead City and Dead
wood followed usxand at Sturgis
I had the best houses of the sea
son. It beat anything you ever
saw. I was at the door and they
shoved dollars at me until I
couldn't get away with them. Af
ter three nights of this sort of
thing we disbanded pevery lady'in
the company was married, and T
got S250 for each of them. No,
I'm not exactly in the matrimonial
agency business, but it does look
that way a little for a fact, i ):i
the next trip I intend to put it in
to the contract that anybody leav
ing the company before the end of
the engagement shall forfeit $250.
In this way I shall make sure of
making a little money. it was
nothing but sheer good iyiture on
the part of the girls that enabled
me lo lay up a cent on this trip.
My company would have melted
away like a snowbank in July if
the women hadn't been inclined to
do the fair thing by me.
"The love making of these fel
lows is" absolutely irresistible. I
never saw anything like it. It
flatters a woman half to death.
They hang around and look at her,
and offer to do all sorts of favors
for her. One of my ladies went
to the postoffice in Sturgis and re
ceived a couple of newspapers
from Rapid City containing some
favorable mention of her perform
ance, and when she started to re
turn to the hotel three or four
chaps offered to carry them for
her, one jof them saying as he,
with greater boldness than the
rest, seized the papers, that no
woman don't carry no freight in
this town.' " Sidney Jebras7:ay

Allcock's Porous Plasters are un
doubtedly the best external remedy
manufactured. I make this assertion
to the public from my own personal
experience of their wonderful virtues.
Suffering from severe pains in my
side and chest, contracted through a
severe cold. I applied a coupled of
Allcock's Porous Plasters upon going
to bed at night. The result was,
that in eight hours after applying
them I could get up and walk about
with very little pain or ache, when
the night previous I could neither
get up nor down without help, nor
stoop to remove my shoes. I have
since used them in my family for
various ailments, and have never
known them to fail to give almost
immediate relief.

the sixteen-bQur session were vis
ible in the appearance of remnants
of documents and reports. The
atmosphere in the house was very
impure and oppressive, and was
well impregnated with tobacco
smoke, notwithstanding the re
peated appeals of the speaker to
members requesting them to ob
serve the rulo which prohibited
smoking on the floor. As early as
T o'clock spectators began to oc
cupy the galleries, and an hour
before the expiration of the Forty
ninth congress by limitation at
least 200 persons were present.
It was understood up to a late
hour of the forenoon that the pres
ident would not occupy his room
at the capitol, as has been the
custom of his predecessors, but
nevertheless he came, being influ
enced doubtless to some extent
by messages sent to him from
members of both branches. Speaker
Carlisle telephoned at 10 a. m
that the president's presence was
necessary to save the District of
Columbia and deficiency bills,
which could not be enrolled in
time to reach the White house,
nearly two miles away. Senators
Sherman and Saulsbury, appoint
ed at 11 o'clock a committee on
the part of the senate to notify
the president that congress await
ed any final message he might
have to send, caused it to be
made known they would perform
their duty by going to the presi
dent's room at the capitol, and if
they did not find him there would
report the fact to the senate, as
suming that he had no further
communications to make.
Tho president and cabinet
i eached the capitol at 12 o'clock,
actual time. Theclocks of the
two houses were set back, and the
senate adjourned without day at
11:55 a. ir., senate time 12:04,
accual time.

Are those uhoni a confirmed tendency to
biliousness, subject to tho arious and
changeful symptoms indicative ol liver com

the affected organ, impurity of the blood
and loss of appetite, signalize it as one of
