A Wizord from the Orient.

A Chinese conjurer named Ching
Ling Foo came to New York recently
and caused quite a sensation. The
papers gave him lots of space and
the public talked about him. What
he did passed the bounds of the
knowledge of other magicians, and
scientists haven't got any theory SO
far concerning how his tricks. were
accomplished. Mildred and Rouclere
went to see him several times and got
on to his curves SO ~cleverly that they
were able to very shortly duplicate
every IL of his receptions and will
present two of three of them here, or
any special ones that are requested
by the audience. 1t is the policy of
the management of Mildred and Rou-
clere to present nothing but what is
new and their own, and aside from
the duplication of some Ching Ling
Foo's magic, this policy will closely
be adhered to on their engagement
here at Wilder theatre Friday night.

COURTS CONFLICT.
Plan of Judge Booraem to Have Two
Courts Running at Once Does
Not Appear Very Promising.
special 70 the EYENING NEws.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 23:-
The scheme of Judge Booraem to
have two courts running while the
trial of civil suits is going on before
the circuit court judge who in this in
stance is Judge Lloyd does not have
a very promising outlook . This was
manifested Monday when the Apple
gate will case vas postponed because
of the counsel interested being en-
gagged in the lower court room. Judge
Booraem thought the county would
be saved money by having two courts
running at n time, but it is feared
it will often happen that the cases
down for trial in both courts will
have lawyers engaged in them and
that as a consequence there will be
a conflict that cannot be avoided.

MAKES LIFE MISERABLE.
Troubles That Keep Halt the Augusta
Doctors Busy.

For the sake of Your personal well
fare, just think a moment about the
process of digesting food.
There are certain secretions called
gastric juices that act upon the food
inter it is swallowed and change all
the nutrition in it into life-giving
blood
Anything that intcrferes with the
secretion of these juices causes indi-
Sestion and makes chronic state OF
stomach weakness inevitable.
From now on build up the strength
and health Of the stomach with
Mi-o-na tablets. You will soon find
yourself strong and never know the
meaning of indigestion.
Half Of the prescriptions the Au-
gusta doctors write are for troubles
that result directly from weakened
stomach. Strengthen the stomach
muscles, increase the secretion of
gastric juices, and you will find that
common Observation-Disclosures with
it's headaches. dizziness. depression of
spirits. spots before the eyes. nervous
ness, sleeplessness and general debility
have been overcome.
IF Mi-o-na did not have an unusually
curative effect in stomach disorders, it
could not be sold on the guarantee
given by Bowditch, Webster & Co, to
refund the money unless it does all
that is claimed for it, They give an
absolute, unqualified guarantee with
every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na that the
money will be refunded unless the
medicine cures. They take the whole
risk, and you certainly can afford 10
get Mi-o-na from them on this plan.
