He has an- nonuced that he will give a free seat to every child who will come to the Chica­ go opera house before next Thursday and prove that he or she was born in Chicago ou the 29th of February, in the year 1892 or IBM The seatR will be for the matinee performance of "The Man From Houie" next Saturday, Feb. 59. This, it will be seen, will be a leap year theater party. There was no 29th of February in 1900, and the children born on that date in 1904 are still too young to attend the theater. Mr. Hodge was prompted to this kindly act by the fact that one of the cherished memories of his life is the sympathy he has always felt for the oue little hoy in his. home town that had the distinction of being born an the 29th day of February and thus had a birthday ho oftener than once in fonr years, and sometimes only once in eight years. He says he always felt mighty sorry for that little fellow, and now that he has the opportunity he is going to bring joy into the hearts of others who are sinulariy afflicted. An­ other evidence of the popularity of "The Man From Home" has been the keefu rivalry amongst publishers to induce the authors, Booth Tarkiugton and Har­ ry Leon Wilson, to write a novel based oh the play. They have at last contract­ ed to collaborate on stu-h a work and Are already preparing the manuscript. So keen has been the bidding that they have seen red the most favorable terms ever given to American authors. A sale of 100,000 volumes is guaranteed and, the royalty is said to be the largest ever paid to any living authors, excepting Rudyard Kipling. The novel is also to be published as a serial in the Saturday Evening Post, of Philadelphia. The 200th performance of "The Man From Home" will be given Tuesday, March 3. Performances are given every night and Wednesday and Saturday matinees. Mail orders are carefully attended to. Harvard Boy C»nfeiu««*M to Murder. Harvard III., Feb. 24--Michael Con nell, 17 years old, employed as a caller nights in the railway shops in this city, Sunday night confessed to the murder of Doinenico Brunetti, an Italian work­ ing in the railway shops. The man was slain last Monday morning as he was on his way home from work by being struck on the head with a blacksmith's ham­ mer. His body was dragged and thrown into a ditch. What money he had and his watch and pay check were taken from the l*ody\ Connell assisted in tak­ ing the Italian's body from the ditch and was one of the main witnesses at the coroner's inquest, and told of seeing the mnrdered tnafi shortly befote he was killed. His confession has created great excitement. The pocketbook of the Italian, with 970 in money, was found, and also his watch, Connell hav­ ing secreted them. ^ QUARTER OF A CENTURY.

While kidney dis­ orders are the most common diseases that pre- vail, they are almost the last recognized by patient aud phy sicians, who Mu­ te nt thHhaelte* with doctoring the effects, while the orig~ trial disease undermines the system. What To Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy^, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, .or hful effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, aud overcomes that unpleasant ne­ cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis­ tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
