MALARIA GERMS
Fill the Air and Poison the Drink
ing Water.

Each season of the year has its spe-
cia liability to disease. The months of
August, September and October always
bring with them more or less malaria,
according to the locality. Malaria is
due to little organism which is gener-
ated in the water, producing millions of
spores. or eggs. with which the water is
filled. People drinking such water have
malaria. Or, again. if such water dries
up under ground, the spores are left to
dry, and they are carried from place to
place by the wind, which are inhaled by
the people, causing malaria. Every one
is liable to have malaria at this season
of the year. Malaria does not always
produce distinct chill and sweating,
but far Oftener manifests itself by the
following symptoms: Slight chillinesS
and flashes of heat. furred tongue and
loss of appetite. continuous dull head
ache and SleeplesSnesS, biliousnesS and
dyspepsia.
For malaria in all its forms there is no
remedy the equal of Pe-ru-na. This
remedy cleanses the system of the mala-
rial poison and arouScs each function of
the body to a healthy action. No matter
how many failures one may have had to
get relief from other remedies, Pe-ru-na
promptly restores the system to health.
The beneficial effects of this remedy are
felt at once, although 1t may have to be
continued some time to rid the system
OF the malarial poison.
For sale at most drug stores, each
bottle accompanied by complete direc-
tons for use. Any one desiring further
particulars write The Pc ru-na Drug

The pleasure of seeing three new and
delightful plays the past week produced
by two admirable organizations. At
Hooley's theater, Monday night, Daniel
Frohman's company. from the Lyceum
theater, New York, presented double
bill, a curtain raiser called "White
Roses" and a three-act comedy called
"The Grey Mare" The former is one
OF the dantiest bits that has been seen
on the Chicago stage SO far this season.
1.-The Grey Mare' is pretty little COM
edy, and deals with the customary
society lie.
Last evening at the Columbia theater
occurred the great event of the week
when Charles FrohDan's stock COM
pany presented for the first time jerome
K. jerome and Eden Phillpot's new
play called 1.-The Councillors Wife"
Briefly told, the story is of county
councillor who leads Jekyll and Hyde
sort of life, and while wearing the pious
disposition beats every one out of all
the money he can get his hands on.
through the play. Those who have
read Idle Thoughts by an Idle Eel
low" "Three Men in Boat" and
Home Chimes" by Jerome K. Jerome,
can perhaps better imagine what many
bright and pretty lines that talented
young writer is capable of putting into
play, CHAs. Aston PARKER.

weakness. The foreign demand was also
poor and the report of the worlds visible of

their effect Cold waves and lots OF frost

GET THE SKATES ON.
Wildwood Improvements Now
Ready and Contemplated.

In full accordance with the reputa-
ton for energy and enterprise earned
by them in the bringing up of that child
of their business genius-North st.
Paul-Messrs. Stone and Morton are car
rying on the development of their latest
Observation-Disclosures park, at White
Bear lake. The latest attraction, or
rather one of them, that Wildwood has
to offer to the public is Amusement
hall, the new roller rink, which will be
thrown open to the public today. A
new feature of the rink is the
coasting hill, which is built around
the inside of the rink after the idea of
roller coaster. but is intended for the
use of skaters only. The new aerial
slide will also be thrown open to the
public today. This slide, at present the
rage at Coney Island, consists of wire
rope stretched between the tops OF two
towers Is feet in height and 200 feet
apart, the slider flying through the air
from tower to tower suspended from the
handles of a small truck which travels
on the cable. The sensation is decidedly
novel and exciting and the experience
is not attended with danger in the
slightest degree. A full band will be in
attendance daily.

tiful girl. sing very nicely. The jokes
and puns in ''Hoss and Hoss" are really
new, and that is certainly the highest
encomium that could be bestowed upon
a farce-comedy.
Reed and Golfers receptions will I'M
doubtediy prove an ovation, and their
engagement successful one, as they
made themselves great favOrites when
here three years ago with 1.-The City
Directory"
Commencing Thursday night, Mr.
HOyt will bring his excellent company
to the Metropolitan in "A Texas Steer"
Mr.. Hoyt has given to the public play
with which there is sensible and suffi-
cient reason for being highly amused.
He has subordinated the farcical ele-
ment TO comedy, giving the latter the
leading place in each act. There is
nothing intrinsically improbable in the
character of Maverick Brander, the
Texan who is elected to congress,
as the ''o'er true tales" of the
doingS of certain members of that
august body have shown. Mrs. Brander,
too, and Bossy, their daughter, trans
planted from a cattle ranch in Texas to
a fashionable hotel in Washington, do
in kind what might be expected of any
TWO women under like circumstances.
The ideas, while not novel, are handled
with much freshness and vigOr; the lit
tie love making which is introduced is
all in keeping with the play, and the
evolution of the Brander family is natu-
raj. easy and wholly consistent. The
same excellent cast of last season, head
Ell by Tim Murphy and Miss Flora
Walsh. will he seen.
The attractions booked to follow IA
Texas Steer are Robert Downing, Sept.
~, 20 and 81, and Lew Dockstader's
Minstrels. Sept. %, % and "a. Mr..
DockStader gave the best performance
of minstrelsy last season that has ever
been given in this city. and it is said by
the Eastern press that Mr.. Dockstader's
show is much stronger this season than
last.
