80 Make Mon y pend Money,

A manager who eXpends thousand OF
lollars that nothing viii be neglected that
night add to the enjoyment of his patrons
ertalnly deserves success, and as rule
he generally gets it il the public would
endeavor TO discriminate between respon-
.ibe companies and those who possess no
stability. There are plenty of good shows,
cut, unfortunately, there are hundreds
which are utterly devoid of merit. Now
anyone can tell if they see a magnificent
new store with massive plate glass windows
hat it necessarily calls for great lay out
of money TO erect it, and the stock in such a
store is generally of the finest. The same
line of reasoning to theatrical enterprises,
or instance, when you see a show billed
in the lavish and expensive manner that
characteriZes the Qunlan & Wall Imperial
Ministries you can rest assured there IS
money and push back of it. The beauti-
full artistic pictorial Autograph work is the
finest and costliest on the road. No litho-
graphing firm would attempt that kind of
work without having a large deposit to in
sure them from loss. This is only one Of
the many items OF great show and the
same good taste which provides this beau
tiful printing will neglect no other depart
ment OF the show, so there is not doubt
that the Quinlan & Wall Minstrels will
meet with the success that they SO richly
deserve and the theatrical going patrons
of Manager Baker, of the Academy, are to
be congratulated that he has Sc
cured a date with this magnificent en-
terprise for next Monday night, Novem

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it Is II
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Few People Know How Useful it is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient dislnfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better: it is not drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
an intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects the mouth and throat = from the
poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
OF another, but probably the best charcoa!
and the most for the money is IN Stuart >
Absorbent LoZenges; they are composed
of the finest powdered Willow charcoal,
and other harmless anti-septics in tablet
torn or rather in the form of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
rhe daily use OF these lozenges will soon
tell in much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, aud the beauty
of it is. that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but on the
contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal says: Il advise
Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat; !
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents box at drug stores, and
although in some sense patent prepare
ton. yet believe I get more and better
charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"

PLAN 10 CLOSE SALOONS.
Representative Stewart Advises So
ciety Tat Will Undertake Task.

Chicago, June 1-"Whenever a saloon
keeper gets more attention from the
politician than the preacher it follows
that the saloonkeeper is entitled to
more consideration from the politicians
point of view" said Orville w Stew
art the only prOhibitionist member of
the Illinois legislature, at a meeting in
the First Methodist church.
The meeting was held under the aus
pieces of the Young Peoples Christian
Temperance union. The members Of
that organization propose to organize a
society that they claim win eventually
close every saloon in Chicago and Mr..
Stewart was the first speaker The
members of the society viii soon have
a meeting at which it is expected rep
resentatives from every young peoples
society in Chicago win be present.
They claim that when this organiza-
ton has been perfected a monster petit
ton VIII be presented to the city coun-
ell and with the petition an ordinance
This ordinance will provide that ward
elections may be held to determine
whether there shall be saloons in that
particular ward when 25 per cent of the
voters have signfied they are ready for
an election of that kind"
Mr.. Stewart was IN favor of the move
and that paved the way for his tenn
perance talk
The fight against slavery was not
clearer than is the fight against the
dram shop" he said. "Some people
make the claim that the odds are too
great and that temperance will not
win. But the odds are not against the
temperance advocates. What are a few
