COMING TO KEYLoR GRAND

The famous Juvenile Bostonians will
be the attraction at the KeylOr Grand
for two nights commencing Sunday,
Oct. Z.
These little children, 30 in number,
have won the confidence of the press
and public. They will present on Sun
day night the comic opera "Rajah Pa
zela" and Tuesday Dorothy. This
company has successfully toured the
United States and Canada as far as
the Great Lakes, and they come to
Walla Walla with high concentrations
from surrounding cities. The company
once known as the Williams Opera
company, has now been re-organized
but all of the old favorites have been

portrayal of the characters assigned
them. Babe Mason, who was seen as
Lurcher, was heralded as the star of
the company, and fully justified her
right to claim the premier honors.
She is a fine comedienne, and her ap-
pearance is always the signal for
laughter. Her antics are clever, while
the several little local hits inserted in
Der lines are brought out in a naive
fashion which invariably brings down
the house. Rose Henry, as Priscilla,
assisted Babe Mason admirably. OF
the solos, the rendition of Queen Of
My Heart" by Lois Mason, deserves
special recognition. In her hands that
composition loses none of its charm,
and the encOres the latter received
were thoroughly we'll earned.
AS whole the company is well bal
anced and those who appreciate good
music and like to be amused should
not miss the opportunity of hearing

that the different quartettes, quintettes
and choruses are worthily rendered.
The members of the Juvenile Bos-
tonian company showed marked abil-
ity and did full pustice to the music.
Mrs. Lang and Mr.. Wolff, who Vic
torians will remember as the organic
ers of a local amateur dramatic per-
Torrance entitled "Olivette," some
years ago are to be congratulated up
on the marked success that has at
tended their training of the children
forming the company now touring the
country under their direction. The
spontaneous outbursts Of applause
which punctuated the various chorus
climaxes is about as high a tribute as
could be paid the vocal excellence Of
the little singers by the music loving
public of Victoria.
While the Bostonians' forte is their
musical standard, those taking leading
parts show some dramatic ability. The

physical requirements of the part. I'm
der such conditions how in Heavens
name can an actor or actress avoid
assuming the characteristics of char
acter that they themselves practically
exemplified prior to its assumption?
AS far as the mental transforma-
ton of the man to the character 1t Is
different, 1 never could see any reason
to lead me to believe, that by the con-
stantly depicting of insanity an actor
should become insane, any more than
it is necessary for an actor to become
an habitual drunkard, in order to
truthfully portray the ravages of de-
lirium tremens.
Long association with dishonest peo-
pie never made an honest man thief.

GREAT is S<The Royal Chef''

With a swing and dash, with ging-
cry features working every minute
and in overtime for that matter-the
splendid production of "The Royal
Chef captivated one of the largest
houses ever played to in Walla Walla
at the Keylor Grand last night. And
the piece is undoubtedly the biggest
hit of the season in every respect.
Manager Catron has been doing his
best to raise the standard of plays at

succeeded in part-and again he has

enthusiasm with which his latest at
fractions have been received. Marietta

INSURANCE MEN INDICTED.
Forgery and Perjury Charged to Two
Former Vice Presidents of
Mutual Life

New York, June 12.-Indictments
for forgery and perjury against DR..
Walter G. Gillette, and for forgery and
filing false statements against Robert
A. Granniss, both former vice presi-
dents OF the Mutual Life Insurance
company, were returned Monday by
the special grand jury which has been
investigating insurance affairs for the
past six weeks.
Six indictments were found against
DR.. Gillette, five for forgery in the
third degree, and one for perjury. Mr..
Granniss was indicted for forgery and
for making false statements to the in
surance department, the latter being a
misdemeanor.
The forgery indictments against DR..
Gillette are based upon alleged fake
entries in the books of the company
and the perjury charge grows out Of
his testimony before the grand jury.
The forgery indictment against
Granniss is based upon alleged false
entries upon the annual report of the
Mutual for 1904 to the insurance de-
partment. 1t is alleged that the sum
of 1,O44, ,O58.23, the net profits of the
company for 1904, was not noted in
that report, but was concealed by Mr..
Granniss The misdemeanor charge
of making false statements grows out
of the filing of the alleged false report
to the insurance department.

SPORTS OF CHILDREN.

Skipping rope is childish pastime
of ancient origin. In place of a rope,
a vine stripped of leaves was original
ly used.
The childish amusement of riding
cane is of great antiquity. 1t was
practiced by the children Of Greece
and ancient Rome.
The game of hide and seek is an
other youthful pastime of ancient
origin. 1t came from Europe about
the beginning of the seventeenth cen.
tury.
The spinning of tops, favorite
amusement among children in the
spring, also came from the Greeks.
Records show that this kind of fur
was in vogue at the time of Vergil
Leap-frog is mentioned in the
works of both Shakespeare and John
son. 1t has been played by children
from early times, and is still IA
vorite game with boys.
The flying kite derived its name
from it's originally being made to re-
semble that species of bird called a
kite. The amusement of kite flying is
about two centuries old in Europe.
Probably it originated in China,
where, so records tell, the practice
of flying kites is very ancient.

NEW TEMPLE FREE OF DEBT
Two Million Dollar Structure Dedi-
Gated by Christian Scient-
lists at Boston.

Boston, June 12.-One of the most
remarkable religious demonstrations
ever witnessed in New England oc-
Cured Sunday, when the new $2,000,-
900 Christian Science temple in the
Back Bay district was dedicated
From every state in the union, and
from all parts of the world came mem
bers Of that faith to be present at the
dediicatory services. 1t was estimated
that more than 10000 Christian Sci
entists were in the city.
Six services were held to accommo-
date the vast throngs, but even then
there were thousands who were unable
to gain admission to the temple. The
seating capacity of the new edifice
exceeds 5000 and at each service
hundreds stood in the aisles and in
the rear of the church.
The new temple, which is entirely
free from debt, is one of the most i'm
posing structures in Boston, and is
said to be the largest church in New
England. Christian Scientists all over
the world have aided in its construc-
tion, and it is intended as tribute
to Mrs. Eddy, in recognition of her la
bors for her church.

FEDERAL LABELS FOR BEEF
COMMITTEE CONSIDERS PLAN TO
PROTECT CONSUMERS.
Proposition to Place Government Tags
on Fresh and Canned Meat
Duly Inspected.

Washington, June 12.-The house
committee on agriculture was locked
in its room with the Beveridge beef
inspection amendment for six hours
Monday. When the session ended at
$3.50 o'clock in the afternoon members
said they had agreed to observe strict
secrecy regarding what had been done.
There was geenral statement, how
ever, that nothing had been done
finally"
The Beveridge amendment was TAX
en- as the basis of action and the great
er part of it was gone over tentatively.
It is understood the committee found
itself generally in favor of striking
out of the Beveridge amendment, the
requirement that the labels on the
cans containing prepared meat prod
ucts shall bear the date of manufac-
ture.
The problem of federal jurisdiction
to enforce sanitary regulations on
which the question of constitutionality
was raised, has tentative solution at
least in proposition to have all labels
for every character OF meat product,
canned and otherwise, issued by the
secretary and attached to the product
only after such sanitary regulations as
the secretary shall prescribe have been
complied with and approval been CIV
en- by government inspectors These
government labels are to then be the
passport of meat products into inter-
state and foreign trade and common
carriers are forbidden to accept for
shipment consignments of goods with
out official government labels. This
provision, like all others, is only in
the tentative stage.
Several notifications are said to
have been recommended regarding the
discretionary authority to be given the
secretary under the proposed new law.

Mrs. Geo. 81. Simser, Grant, Ontario,

81 had not been well for about four
years. I had kidney trouble, and, in
fact, felt badly nearly all the time.
"This summer 1 got SO very bad

to you and began at once to take Peruna
and Manalin.
81 took only two bottles of Peruna
and one of Manalin, and now I feel
better than I have for some time.
81 feel that Peruna and Manalin cured
me and made different woman of me
altogether. l bless the day picked ur

It's the business of the kidneys fc
remove from the blood all poisonous
materials. They must be active all the
time, else the system suffers. There are
times when they need little assistance.
Peruna is exactly this sort of a rem
edy. 1t has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kidneys SER
