AN EXCELLENT
feature
FIGHTING FLAMES IN THE
ELECTRIC THEATRE
THE FOREMAN'S Song.
Films Of Latest Pattern So Perfect
In Detail AS To Convince Of the
Unreal Being Real.

What excitement attends fire IN
a crowded neighborhood in large
city! Perhaps nothing appeals more
TO the American people than the dash
of the department to the scene of a
confagration and the terrible conflict
there engaged in The struggle to
save life and property rouses the
blood in the most sluggish among us
and makes us all want to engage IN 1t.
The Brundage and Fisher Amuse-
ment company, who are furnishing
the carnival in this city this week,
have in their Electric Theatre" the
very latest fire fighting films, taken
in San Francisco by the Edison
company These films show the eX-
perience of a fireman in large city
from the minute the alarm is sounded
70 the time the fire is eXtingulshed.
Every detail is accurately depicted
One imagines, while gazing, that the
horses, apparatus, burning building
actual, so reliable is everything.
actual SO reliable is everything.
The Brundage and Fisher company
axe il a point to exhibit the eight
mo the Flames" films at each per
formance, so that the public may
have better idea Of the response
bility devolving upon the men upon
whom we depend for protection OF
life and property at all hours OF the
day and night.
The Company also features "Llttle
JOSIE in the Electric Theatre. This
child receives hearty applause each
time she sings the popular song 1T :
the Man With the Ladder and Hose.
The song is dedicated especially to
the American fireman, who, up to the
time il was written, had only the col
umns of the daily papers to record
his true worth and manliness and to
merely refer to him when he met with
an accident, or was killed by falling
wall.
The army and navy furnish heroes
many of whom have been brought
into prominence by the action of
others. The policeman who arrests
a noted bandit is given two column
write-up on the front page of big
city daily, but the poor firemen are
looked upon as doing only what they
are paid to do.
If you want to see the best "Fire
Fighting" pictures made and to hear
Little Josie" sing you should not
fail to visit the Electric Theatre at
the Carnival this week.

have a good time all on account of
the mayors first "hitching act" Af-
ter the "iokers" had carried the

where the mayor had to get back at

on the "hitching" question,
A well known local attorney was
seated with the assemblage and it was
he VINO insisted on popping" the
"hitchmg' ceremony To the mayor
and each time il was mentioned il
naturally caused considerable laugh
ter Finally, the mayor succeeded in
direc;in, the crowds attention to the
carnival, particularly to Rosey's lad
de-, and soon started an argument
as a. the length of it, the mayor at
the same time saying It must he 50
many feet long. The attorney who
had been having a good time with the
mayor on account of the "hitching'
performance, together with the rest
.,l the "bunch" were soon on their
feat, each a.. them trying to convince
the mayor that he was away off, and
that they, alone, could come nearer
,ac>sin. the correct leucth, than he
could
So fast and furious did the srgu-
mut become that the front of the
Robinson hotel soon resembled the
floor ot the Chicago board of trade.
20 earnest and persistent was the ar
gument that Mr.. Mitchell, who al
ways has his eyes open for a good
joke, was soon on his feet with this
proposition: "Ill bet you box of
the best cigars in the Robinson hotel
that you can't guess any nearer the
length of the ladder than | can. 4"
They shook hands and the whole push
proceeded to the carnival grounds, ac-
companied by Rosey, who chanced to
be in the hotel lobby, and who was to
decide the bet
After the party arrived at the show
grounds, and the attorney took a good
focus up the long incline. he remark
ed that he would guess 90 feet. The
mayor walked up to the ladder, cast
his eagle eye skywards and between
the stopping points in a good hearty
laugh, remarked, "Wel. | guess 90
feet, and before the last words left
his mouth, the "wise" ones in the
bunch, gave a Comanche yell which
could have been heard for several
squares. The crowd returned to the
Robinson hotel, where the best ci-
cars in the ease, and a whole box of
them were passed out to the push and
the attorney footed the bill.
1t has been been asked not to men
ticn the lawyers name in this arti-
Gle, but should any reader get next it
will be to his advantage to not men
ticn Rosey's ladder to him.

A Clean, Clear Report.

The following is the text of letter
recently received from a prominent
millionaire business man
Narch %, 1906.
VIM +. Bache, Esq,
Gen. Agent Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Co.,
Water Street, Boston, Mass.
My Dear Sir: | have read with
much interest the 1905 report of your
company to its policy-holders, and
wish here to say that you are to be
congratulated in representing such a
company, and the writer also consid-
ers himself fortunate in carrying the
fun line of one hundred thousand dol
lars 100, OOOl insurance in the com
pany.
have always considered the North
western Mutual as ranking first among
the mary life insurance companies,
and am now even more thoroughly
convinced of my position.
1t is indeed very commendable that
the Northwestern has kept itself in an
impregnable condition and conducted
its business in manner that would
permit of such clean, clear, itemized
and comprehensive report to its policy
holders. The company had apparent
ly nothing to hide and evidently kept
nothing concealed. was much pleas
ed with the frankness and thoroughness
of the report, and am Of the opinion
that coming at this time, it will prove
the greatest advertisement the company
could possibly put forth.
am firmly convinced and wish to
60 on record, that the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance company will
within the next ten years rank at the
top in amount of insurance in force,
and will In the meantime conduct its
business on the same sound business
principles as it has in the past
Yours very truly,

The rapid growth OF the Peruna Medi-

business world as the universal pOpu.
larity Of their famous remedy. Peruna.
The plant covers number of acres,
and employs several hundred people.
No other medicine firm in the world
reaches anything like the volume of
business done by Or. Hartman's firm.
Although Peruna is proprietary
medicine, the details of its compound
ing are in strict accordance with phar-
maceutical discoveries and nothing
gives Or. Hartman greater pleasure
than to show his intimate professional
friends through the laboratory where
Peruna is made.
A Doctors Prescription.
For years DR.. Hartman used Peruna
In his private practice as a regular pre-

featuring it or advertising it a. pro-
prietary medicine until there WIS de-
mand made upon him by his many
friends, who elamored for the original
prescription.
