A stout Backbone

Is as essential to physical health as to politi-
cal consistency. For weakness of the back.
rheumatism, and disorders of the kidneys, the
tonic and dietetic action of Hostetter's Stom-

ABYSSINIA ARMING,

Large Quantities of Military Equip
 ments Being Shipped to Africa.
 London, Nov. 29.-The inquiries made by the customs authorities concerning the cargo of ammunition brought into the Thames from a Russian port by the steamship Envoy for transshipment on the steamship Beluchistan, which trades with ports on the Persian gulf, have been completed. The officers dis covered that the munitions are the property of Count Nicholas Leontieff, the Russian officer who some time ago was appointed governor general of the Equatorial provinces of Ethiopia by King Menelik of Abyssinia, and are des- tined for that territory. It was fur ther learned that Count Leontiaff Is inn porting large quantities of military equipment into the Equatorial prov inces in pursuance of a plan of thor ough reorganization and strengthening of the Abyssinian forces.
 The cargo was detained here on ac- count of a false entry, which led the customs officers to examine some of the cases which the cargo comprised. One of the bxoes said to contain rifles was broken open and found to be filled with gunpowder, whereupon the whole cargo was detained. The cargo was invoiced as rifles and cartridges" The pre- stunned destination of the cargo led the customs authorities to believe that it was intended for the use of the Afghan tribes.

Polls wonderland Theater.

Yesterdays audiences at Polls Won- derland theater were very large and very enthusiastic. There was so much fun in "A Trip on the Derby'' as pre- sented by MT. Filson and Miss Errol that the best of humor prevailed during it's presentation. The conledietta un- folds curious domestic tangle which results from the husbands infatuation for horse race gambling. He has near ly lost all, but determines, on the ad- vice of a tout, to take a, final flyer on the Derby. The cipher message sent to him is under the signature of a woman and falls into his wife's hands. She imagines the letter is written to make an appointment and merry war ensues. Finally when the final domestic crash threatens to come in a shape of a di- vorce, explanations ensue and peace reigns again. The whole thing is very funny, and MT. Filson and Miss Errol work the fun to the very utmost limit of it's possibilities. The supporting company has a number of very bright artists. Among them are John and Nell lie Mccarthy, the Americus Comedy Four MT. Stevens and Miss Clark, MT. and Mrs. Patten, MT. Nudge and Miss Morton, Conroy and Loring, and Miss Kathleen Warren. Popular prices, 10 and 20 cents; ladies in the afternoon, 10 cents
