he thinks he is the only original and
righteous reformer but If he would
not put so much of the great l am"

argument, with just a grain of con-
sideration, into his speeches, his work
might accomplish something.

"UncIe Josh Perkins,"

Uncle Josh Perkins, is the title of
a play that has scored a success this
season unprecedented in recent years.
1t is to be given here in all it's en-
tirety by the original company which
first carried it on to prosperity and
popularity. 1t will be produced here
next Wednesday evening at the Key
Tor Grand theater, and it is certain to
play to a packed house. Uncle Josh
Perkins is comedy drama, there is
a touch of tragic nature in it that ex-
cites to an intense pitch the emotions
of the spectators, with all ending
happily. The play is livened up by the
excellent comedy and when the spec-I
tators are not in tears over the mis-
fortune of the beautiful young heroine
and the shadows that appear to threat
en- her future, they are laughing and
applauding uproariously at the funny
antics of the comedians. Some new
and exceedingly clever songs and spe-
cialties are introduced at appropriate
stages of the play, vast amount of
new and magnificent scenery is used
for the impressive stage pictures pre-
scented in each of the four. acts of the
piece.

Bnnard Stock Company PIeases With
"Tennessee's Pardner."

Large crowds greeted the Binnard
Stock company at the Orpheum thea
ter last night and at tine matinee this
afternoon to see their production of
"Tennessees Pardner." Tonight is
the last time this piece will be put on,
The show last night was fully up to
that of any other performance and
every member of the company was
letter perfect in his part. AS usual
every actor received his share of the
applause, though perhaps Montgomery
and Miss Murilla were favored by the
audience. The play is a good one and
has been we'll received.
Beginning tomorrow night another
play, entirely different from any yet
put on, will be staged. 1.-THE Black
Flag is the title of the play and al
though it has never played here, it has
an excellent reputation and should not
fail to please the audience at the Or
pheum. AS usual, new scenery has
been prepared and the piece will be
realistically staged.

FIT IT'S HAVE THE TRUTH.

The Bulletin makes some serious
charges against Revenue Collector B.
D. Croker, even going so far as to
accuse that gentleman of openly vio-
lating the law. 1t would seem that,
since there is a criminal statute pro-
viding punishment for libel, and since
there are laws giving damages to those
who have been imposed on by libelous
publications. it is due the people who
are interested in the affairs of the pub
lie offices. that the party making the
allegations should be called on to sub
stantiate them. While they may not be
true there are many people who will
accept the charges as true from the
simple fact that they were publishe L.
although they would not have large
circulation. The further fact that the
party making the accusations would
have the boldness to publish them
will also lead many to believe that he
knows something of what he is talk
ing about and fears neither prosecu-
tion nor any other unpleasant meas
ures. OF course it will be realized
that B. d. Croker is bigger than
the Bulletin but that is all the more
reason why he should not stand for
any Islander or libel when he has a
way of avoiding it if he innocent. Such
accuSat .onS not Only reflect on Mr..
Crocker but also on our senator AMI
the general administration ana they
should either be proven or forever ST.
fenced in justice to all parties con-
cerned. The people are tired of polit-
zeal 'buncum." This is an age in
which accusations of graft ard cor
ruption in high places are quite gen
orally accepted as the truth without
proof and the mere fact that silence
is maintained when serious charges
are made. has a tendency to give rise
to erroneous conclusions.

may PLAY IN zion CITY"
NOVEL ENGAGEMENT IN PROS
PECT FOR THE GENTRY
SHOWS.

Zion City, for this day and date
OILY"
This is the way the advertisements
of the Gentry Brothers Famous Shows
United, which will come to Walla Wal
la, Friday, Sept. 8, are to read in the
near future if the plans given a pre-
liminary discussion in Helena recently
are successfully carried out.
AS every one knows, Zion City is
the religious commonwealth founded
and for many years governed by the
late Alexander DOwie, Elijah H. sit
uated some 40 miles north of Chicago
on the shores of Lake Michigan and
having within it's limits several thou
sand souls.
AS the essence of the Dowie teach
ing was industry and as he successful
ly discouraged any semblance of friv-
olity in his followers, the field of
amusements in Zior. was never thor
oughly developed, it being Dowie's be-
lief that work and worship should so
fill each day as to leave small room for
the lesser things of life.
Following these teachings to their
finality the people of Zion City have
developed factories, and built homes
and churches, but they have never had
a circus and some of the more conser-
vative might be shocked at the sug-'
gestion of an invasion of the red wag
oLs and the tented city with it's peo-
pie who are generally supposed to be
distinctly unorthodoX. Nevertheless,
the subject was preached to a repre-
sentative Of the Gentry Shows by w.
H. Lee, travelling representative of
Zion City. when the two met in the
office of the Helena Independent last
week and there seems no doubt but
that Zion City will open its gates to
Gentry Brothers Famous Shows, Unit
ed
The situation as viewed by Mr.. Lee
and the Gentry representative is that
while violent objection might be made
to the coming of the usual run Of cir
cuses, those objections are removed
by the character of the Gentry shows
ana by the personnel of their owner
ship and management.
The Gentry shows have always
been conducted on a superior moral
plane" says w. o. Harrington, the
general agent, and so free have they
always been from any suggestion of
se1.sationalism, vulgarity or immorali-
ty that other showmen often allude
to them as the Sunday school shows
Catering to women and children has
been the principal business of the
management.
why wouldn't the Gentry shows
enter Zion? They are owned by M. w.
Savage, a member of the Fowler
Methodist Episcopal church of Min
Leapolis. whose business and private
life never runs counter to his pro-
fessions, and are managed by l. c.
Speers. three of whose boys have long
been members of ST. Paul's Episcopal
church choir Minneapolis. If l can
change the route sufficiently, you
will see the Gentry shows entering
Zior. this season."

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For. a great many years doctors
pronounced it local. disease and pre-
scribed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
theatment, pronounced it incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be q
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-08-31

The city council of PeLdleton asked
for bids on a large issue of municipal
bonds but when the time came for
opening the bids there were none to be
offered and it looked as though there
would be none of those many proposed
improvements. With commendable
patriotism local capitalists in the
Oregon town said: Give us those
bonds; they look like thirty cents to
us along side this 100000 wheat
crop being harvested" Hurrah for the
sagebrushers. That's what should be
called the "Walla Walla spirit" If
people have no confidence in their
home city they can expect little con-
sideration from outside capital. No
one would have any fears about in
vesting in a town where the local
capitalists were backing the munich
pality for several hundred thousand
dollars.
