his various talents. The comedy Is sue
cession of specialties aud opportunities for
amusing situations, the latter are taken
advantage of by some OF the members OF
the company to good advantage. Mr..
Bakers singing was good, and his broken
English amusing. Miss Grace Euler as
Lena was clever and is possessed Of q sweet
voice, that is, however, lacking In power.
John Chester, an Irish comedian, was
one of the most amusing members OF the
company, and his work is very clever.
The Moss family, who appear In . mu-
sical speciality in the second act and be-
tween the acts In musical specialties, are
very good and made hit last night. They
play q variety Of instruments and play
them well. The play, as before stated,
pleased those present last evening, and will
doubtless prove popular during its stay.

Dangerous USE Of
Strong PURGANVES.

Pills and purgatives which act
quickly upon the bowels, irritate
and destroy the mucous Innings
of the stomach and bowels. A
continued use of such remedies
infames the stomach and bowels.
The use of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudei Salt is highly
recommended because its action
is due solely to its solvent and
stimulating properties, without
irritating the stomach. Best re-
suits are obtained when out door
exercise can be had. Obtain the
genuine imported article only.
