good Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are

very grateful people. though we do give
you the evidence of some outside people
to show you how much they too value
Morrow's Kid-ne odds. They praise
Kid-ne-oids all over the land. Do you
suppose that people living here for the
last ten or fifteen years would tell you
that Morrew's Kid-ne-oids are beyond
doubt the best remedy to be found for
They have said this too often after they
have used kidney pills and kidney cures.
There is nothing like Morrow's Kid-ne-
OidS; the ingredients are the best the

Hogan's Alley Twice.

Two performances of 'Hogan's AL
ley'' were given at the Crawford theater
Saturday. The audience in the after
noon was small, but in the evening the
attendance was satisfactory. The piece
itself is rough construction of farce
comedy and nothing is claimed for it.
The specialties introduced during the
three acts form it's sole plea for public
favor and this plea, lacks considerably
in strength However, Campbell and
Caulfeld were responsible for a talking
act which gained them considerable ap-
plause, and the musical turn of Green
and Thompson was received with a
show of satisfaction. George Kaine, in
German character songs, was recalled
several times.

Mr. McKelway. probably remembering a quick

your enemies as well as your lrlehds.
There was general laugh at this Mr.. Foster
had remarked on the trip down the bay that the
Admirals early arrival might delay the sending
on. OF tickets by the committee.
