Theatrical.

To admirers of high-c class vaudeville,
a treat will be given at the Temple
theater next Monday when the Root
Gardner attraction will appear. The bill
consists of some of the best vaudeville
acts, and those who are interested to
see correct exhibition of prize fight
ing, but never had the opportunity of
witnessing one, the company carries
the polyscope giving the correct ex-
hibition of the fight which took place
on July 4th between Root and Gard
ner and resulting in George Gardner
becoming the worlds champion. The
moving pictures are so realistic, being
life size, that it makes it very inter-
esting, especially to the ladies who
have never had an opportunity to
witness a real prize fight. The per-
Torrance will conclude with the cham
pion, George Gardner, giving scien-
tific boxing exhibition. This attrac-
ton is booked over the Klaw and
Earlinger circuit through the south,
after just finishing two months en-
gagement through the same eastern
circuit, playing New York for three
weeks to packed houses.

Give Osteopathy chance at your

You need not have faith in the

come by the treatment, and not
through your faith.

FANCY FISHING OUTFITS.

tapering end Of the pole, and black
hook decorated with a Timber angle

led to. The downfall is logical-that's
the worst of 1t, and that's the reason
why am going to send my steel casting
