A Warning To Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months, to guard against
bowel troubles. AS a rule it is only
necessary to give the child dose Of
castor oil to correct any disorder Of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the old fashioned castor oil, and
see that il is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates
and has a tendency to gripe. If this
does not check the bowels give Cham
berlin's Cholic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and then a dose of castor oil,
and the disease may be checked in its
incipiency and all danger avoided. The
castor oil and this remedy should be
procured at once and kept ready for in
slant use as soon as the first indication
Of any bowel trouble appears. This
the most successful treatment known
and may be relied upon with implicit
confidence even ia cases of cholera in
fantum. For sale by all druggists.

One of the most prominent theatrical
managers of New York, Mr.. George
Samuels, has taken up his residence in
Las Vegas, to personally manage the
affairs of his new theatrical enterprise
out here. Mr.. Samuels has recently or
ganized a circuit of towns through the
Southwest, and has secured the rights
of the most celebrated plays of the
hour He will send an especially select
ed company of well known New York
artists out over this circuit every seven
weeks, presenting two standard produc-
tions each trip, thus giving, during the
season, a most varied list of plays.
These plans have meant enormous
outlays of m Iney for scenery, electrical
effects, royalties and salaries. Ten
thousand dollars has been invested in
electrical effects and properties alone,
while forty entire sets of scenery have
been built to fit the stages of he thea
ters. Mr. Samuels has undertaken a
big thing and has come to stay and
make good. He has met with fatter-
ing encouragement from business men
of the Southwest, and is assured that
his venture, big as il is, will be a huge
success.
