ent kinds of medicine, but received lit
tie or no help. 1 saw DR. Kilmers
Swamp Root high recommended for
kidney trouble, but l never had any
idea that my kidneys were effected. I
thought would try a 50-cent bottle of
Swamp-Root and see what the effect
would be. l commenced taking it &C
cording to directions and in few days
l saw that it was helping me. l used
the 50-cenL bottle and then bought two
more dollar bottles. and they COM
pletely cured me. l have got back to
my original weight, 1875 pounds, and I
am thorough advocate of DIR. Kill

SHOW AT THE CASINO.
Vaudeville Artists Are Pleasing the
Audiences.


Audiences.
The performance at the Casino is
one of the best given at this popular
resort this season. The audience last
night was not very large, on account
of the weather, but each act received
hearty applause. The first number was
Miss Edith Temple, who has a beau
tiful contralto voice, and who scored
a success. Then came Crouch & Roch-
ards, musical pair. Mr. Crouch ar
ranges all the music for their act and
their rendition Of my Old Kentucky
Home" with variations, made a de-
cided hit. Their act finishes with the
popular selection Bridal Rose" by
Suppe. This difficult overture was also
well received; their instruments are all
of high grade, and the stage setting is
very pretty. This act was followed
by Clara Douglas, a coon shouter and
buck dancer, who does very clever
stunt. Miss Douglas has a very good
idea of coon shouting" and it went
well.
The performance closes with a very
pleasing farce entitled Teaching Her
a Lesson" by Wesson & Walters. Mr.
Wesson rendered a parody written by
himself on rip Van Wrinkle" He re-
ceived several encores, and finally sang
a parody on the City Exchange, which
seemed to enthuse the audience To
show his admirers that he was cap
able of doing more, he sang "a song for
the benefit of the ladies. The work
of both Wesson and Walters was Of a
high class, and the audience enjoyed
hearty laugh throughout the act.
Both Wesson and Walters do two dis
tinct changes.
Matinee and night performances will
be given throughout the week.

Tommy Feltz will be matched to
meet Danny Dougherty, who lost the
bantam championship to Harry Forbes.
A letter was received by the Savan-
nah Athletic Club from Dougherty yes
terday, offering to fight in Savannah,
and asking the club to name a con-
Venient date. A reply was sent him
immediately, naming Aug.7. No doubt
match between the clever little fell
lows will be arranged for that date.
Dougherty and Feltz have been
wanting to get at each other for quite
a While. Their managers had agreed
mat they would be accommodated in
thls, and it was expected that the
match would be pulled off in Reading,
"a 1t seems now, however, that the
ooys Will meet here.
,FeItz is working hard AT Tybee for
ms fight with Andy Daley, which will
take place next Monday before the
Athletic Club Daley is doing some
SYSTEMATIC training at Thunderbolt,
ana he expects to be in perfect shape
oy the night of the meeting. He was
