"Yankee Oak" is a name covering a multitude of substitutes for genuine Oak Sole leather. Common Hemlock or 44 Red leather now chemically bleached and softened, till it looks like genuine 44 Oak. It is then re-christened under some fancy trade name which includes the word "Oak." But though it looks like Oak, its wear is inferior even to honest Hemlock, which is brittle, heavy, spongy, crumbly- and cheap. Ninety per cent, of all $3.50 shoes are made of this kind of leather, which the U. S.

Government specifically debars from use in Army brogans. Using such learner in shoe soles, is like putting a mud foundation under a steel structure It costs the Regal factory over $400.00 per day to put the best Oak bark tanned sole leather into every pair, instead of the 44 Yankee Oak," "Union," and straight "Hemlock" used in other $350 shoes. This adds a dollar to the wear of every pair of Regals at no extra cost to you. Observe in our Windows, the shoe dissection test which no other store dare offer. Fall styles sow oa sake.

Justice White In Special Term yesterday granted an order appointing August Becker as referee to examine the accounts of former Receiver George Houck of the Buffalo, Hamburg Aurora Railway Company.

Mr. Houck was appointed receiver in sequestration proceedings at the Instance of the udgment creditors about the time the company began proceedings to dissolve.

A month or so ago the conflicting interests agreed upon Robert W. Day as permanent receiver. The objecting stockholders charge that during the six months Houck was receiver he ran the road at an expense of over $17,000, in that he not only spent $9,100 that he received in cash when he assumed the management, but vhat he left the company $8,000 in debt. Some of the charges made against Houck are: That he paid out in August, 1901, $233.21, including $45 to himself, without authority; that in the same month he charged the company 50 cents for hauling away a jack and rail-bender, which was never returned to the company; that from August 15th to September 1901. lie charted the company $328.55 for railroad fare, ostensibly to do1 busi-J ness for the company in Boston and Wor- i eester, but that not a aonar reaiiy was spent for the company, but that he had a private business In Worcester.

Other 'charges are that he built an office for himself at the company's power at cost of $200 or $300, without uthnrit- hnt frnm AnsniRt 19. 1901. to June 16, 1902. the whole period during' which he was receiver, he operated tne road in so negligent a manner as to cause a loss to the bondholders of thousands of dollars; that he neglected his duties as receiver and delegated them to others; that whereas the rolling stock was In good condition when he took charge, it was in bad repair when his term ended; that the engines and machinery at the power house suffered between $3,000 and 14,000 damages through his neglect. They also charge Houck with having lowered the track at' the Hamburg end of the line, which was not necessary, costing the of $1,000.

A general denial of the jharges was made by Attorney John K. Aliddaugh, representing Hamilton Ward, counsel for Houck. However, Justice White appointed Mr. Becker to investigate the accounts. OIL SOARS.

I WEIGH 175 IDS. Foracr velgui 155 Gain 40 IDs. There are people who say that the benefit derived from the use of put-up medicines is imaginary. It is not the case with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrin-tion, which makes weak women strong; and sick women well.

A woman may imagine she's weak, or may fancy she's, sick, but her imaginatiortcan't add forty pounds to her weight. The positive proof of the curative power of Favorite Prescription is found in the restoration of health which is recorded in face and form, of strength which can be tested, and weight which can be registered in pounds and ounces. The general health of women is so intimatelv connected with the local health of the womanly organs that when these are diseased the whole body suffers loss. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures womanly diseases.

It establishes regularity, stops weakening' drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. I am very glad to let other poor sufleiers jw watt ur. Fierce medicines bin done far me." writes Mrs. Edwin H. Gardner, of Beecbwood.

V. Pierce, Buffalo, 11. y. r- That the Republican leaders In this county do not wish the voting at the coming election to be above suspicion. Is not a matter of doubt, for the Republican majority In the Board of Aldermen yesterday voted down a plan by which the election would have been put far beyond suspicion.

Aid. John J. Kennedy offered a resolution yesterday providing for the appointment of a voting machine commission of two members, one of whom should be designated by each party organization. These commissioners were to be machinists, and were to serve without pay, and under the resolutions, their work would have assured that the machines were in perfect working order and beyond any chance of being Juggled wiwtX. The proposition was one consistent with the fairest possible election, yet it was defeated by a strict party vote.

The bucolic atmosphere of the play vr-. faithfully carried out by actors who were far above the average of those usually appearing in such presen tatlons. The piece Itself is a delightful conceit. This fact wa attested to by the manner in which the audience received it. Round after round of laugh ter and applause greeted the wholesome and witty lines of the actors.

Such plays have much to do with ridding the atmosphere of the tneaters 01 tne un savory impression left by let whole some presentations. Charles Dickson as Qumcy Adams Sawyer, has a dominating part and plays it well. As Zeke Pettengill. Robert Kelly appears to decided advantage, and Louis Hendricks (a Buffalo boy) is excellent as Strout. Corliss Giles Is a handsome Arthur Hastings, and Charles Dow Clark is a goo Hiram Maxwell.

E. H. Stephens Is quaint and irresistibly funny as Abner Stiles, and George Averill does a good Benoni Hill. As Linday Perkins1, Miss Marion Chapman does excellent work. She received several ovations.

Miss Helaine Hadley presented the sweet and lovable character of Alice Pettengill In a delightful manner. The Mandy of Mies Gertrude Howe was well done, and Miss Ann Hathaway was uncommonly sweet and clever as Huldy Mason. Miss Sadie Connelly presents a bit full of action and life in Mrs. Crowley, and Miss Gertrude as the eccentric? Saman-thy Green, while not cast in a role calling for arttetic ability, is decidedly popular after being kicked Into prominence by the cow. The staging of "Qulncy Adams Sawyer" is in thorough keeping with the lines of the drama.

Too much credit cannot be given to those who carried out the rural scheme so faithfully. It was a revelation to an appreciative audience. Country life and surroundings were faithfully depicted and many a country born individual in the audience attested to his appreciation of this trueness to nature by loud and continuous applause. LAFAYETTE. The attraction at the Lafayette Theater this week is Waldron Bryant's Trocodero Burlesquers.

The show has many good features. The company presents a good burlesque show. The bill is made up of burlesque and vaudeville, and while Improvement could be made, they are up to the standard and cause constant laughter. "Prince Henry's Reception" Is the title of the open burlesque- Adolph Adams. In his impersonation of noted men scores a hit.

The Van Brothers, in musical skit, and Smith and Chapman also made a favorable impression. Sullivan and Keller have a good one-act comedy. The three Herbert Brothers in their acrobatic work are good. Massoney and Hamel-man, two charming soubrettes, sang a number of popular songs, and were well received. The show Is closed with a burlesque entitled "The School of Love." In this act the members of the company are seen to advantage.

Many popular musical numbers are offered by two German comedians, and the chorus girls Introduce songs, some of which are new. SHEA'S. Cole Johnson, musicians and song writers, had the house at Shea's Garden Theater last night. Their act is exceedingly refined and consists of classic and ragtime reflections, with the latter variety predominating. Their "Mandy" and "Castle on the Nile" songs and travesty on "Floro-dora" seemed to be prime favorites and elicited a storm of applause.

A mystifying act is presented by the Zanzigs. whose appearance on the stage recalls the days when they were In evidence on the Pan-American Midway. The operator on the stage never fails to tell, with accuracy, names- and numbers given to the other member in the audience. The remainder of their work is also marvelous. "Maggie Haggerty's Father." a sketch descriptive of the novel experience of an aged Irishman with hotel life In a big city, is highly amusing.

A folding-bed. an electric fan. a meal ticket, a lofty window and superb acting all contribute to the success of the piece. Thomas Ryan, Mary Richfield and Maurice German appear In the sketch. Josephine Sabel can be classed among the good vaudeville comediennes.

She sang George Evans' song, "In the Good Old Summer Time" in an inimitable fashion. Others on the bill are J. Royer West and Ida Van Siclen, musicians; Terke ft Adams, delineators of Hebraic characters, and "The Great MontrelU" whose greatness is enhanced by a like assistant. The. Bard Brothers, acrobats, and the ktnetograph help the show considerably.

STAR. JAMES IC HACKETT opened a week's engagement at the Star Theater last night In "The Crisis." the famous story of Winston Churchill. Mr. Hackett is ever a favorite. in Buffalo.

He always meets with a warm reception, and that reception became an ovation last nlirht- "The Crisis" is full of Interest, and. It Is safe to say that three, fourths of the audience had read the novel and waited in brsthless anxiety for the development of the many stirring situations of tie story.

His admirers raved over him as the Prisoner of Zenda et but agree that In the better opportunity as Stephen Brice, his performance is artistic and consistent. Mr. Hackett is ably supported by his beautiful leading woman. Miss Charlotte Walker, who Is seen as Virginia Carvel, and special mention is due Miss Deronda Mayo Miss Grace Barber. Miss Barber is a Buffalo girl, and her many friends in the audience last night were delighted with the telling strides the young woman has made in a short time in her chosen profession.

Miss Mayo is also well known in this city, where she has many friends.
