Still More Counterfeitinq.

The Secret Service has unearthed
another band Of counterfeiters and Sc
cured a large quantity of bogus bills,
which are so cleverly executed that the
average person would never suspect
them OF being spurious. Things of great
value are always selected by counter
feiters for imitation, notably the cele-
brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
has many imitators but no equals for in
digestion, dyspepsia, constipation, ner-
vousness and general debility. The Bit
tiers set things right in the stomach, and
when the stomach is in good order it
makes good blood and plenty of it. In
this manner the Bitters get at the seat OF
strength and vitality, and restore vigor to
the weak and debilitated. Beware Of
counterfeits when buying.

THE VAUDEVILLE SHOW.
Now Being Presented at Magnolia
Park

Several hundred people took advantage
of the pleasant ride ON the Magnolia Park
line and the splendid vaudeville perform
ance being given there nightly and went
out to that popular pleasure resort last
night. The ride through the magnolia
trees Is most delightful one and is In
itself worth what is charged, and in addi-
ton to this an excellent performance is
given in tho pavilion at the park. The
Grayson Sisters--patti and Juliet, late Of
Hoyts Milk White Flag company--are
the stars OF the entertainment. These
young ladies' have many friends in this
city and are exceedingly popular and de-
servedly so, for they are undoubtedly
clever artists in their line. They have a
number of catch coon songs and sing them
In very pleasing style. Besides this they
are very graceful dancers. Their turn"
is neat one and 1t has made hit"
with all who have been out to Magnolia
park They appear twice during the even
ing, one in black face. The Tyrolean
quartette Is composed OF capable talent
and their work has been greatly appreciat-
ed. Mr.. Leslie Williamson, the tenor OF the
Quartette, who has a good voice sings
several solos. Mr.. Gay Hitner. late of the
Auditorium stock company gives readings
of several OF James Wh.icomh Riley's
poems In dialect. Mr.. Hitner also gives
a few limitations, one OF them being De-
Wolf Hopper in his recitation of Casey at
the Bat" MIR. Hitner is well suited for
this class of work and succeeds admirably
in amusing an audience,
On the whole, the programme is all that
could be desired in the way OF summer
amusement General Manager II. Il. Full
Ter is conducting the park aud the theater
on frst-cass principles. The train SER
vice is satisfactory and the park is well
lighted. Magnolia park is certainly very
desirable place to spend an evening of
pleasure these hot days, for there Is no
cooler spot anywhere than this beautiful
grove OF magnolia trees.
There will be performance at Magnolia
park every night this week except Salur-
