TWO GORGEOUS PLANETS.

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
sall other laxatives or cathartios. They
soak the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not grippe. they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions Of the liver
and stomach In a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation Is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which Is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness. indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver

Of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
suse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic

nvigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead OF impoverish

will appreciate. 1t would seem that
the old-style prop had done service SO
long that there could be no improve
ment suggested. but a well-known
shortening of the old wooden pole
is that in a wind It is soon dislodged

VAUDEVILLE At
THE AUDITORIUM
A GOOD SHOW, A GOOD CROWD
And \ GOOD TINE FOR EVERY
EVENING.

A big crowd greeted the raising
of the curtain at steptoe Amusement
hall last night, and a big show greet
ed the big crowd. 1t was the second
visit of the vaudeville show on the
McNaughton circuit, and the artists
were refurbished terminated, the
ranks renovated; and the show quite
recherche. There were new faces,
all in white; new acts, new special
ties; change in the stage appoint
ments for the better and an improve
ment in the acoustics of the hall.
"A Devil of a Mixup" was the
promising title of the first number in
which the talents of C. j. McNaugh-
ton and Miss Kitty Mccarthy shone
resplendent in the mixup; and the
audience was compelled, perforce,
to take part in the affray. The cur
tain went down with the sense of
something doing on the part of the
audience; and everybody settled
himself down with the conviction of
a good night ahead; and nobody was
disappointed r. f. T. Haff, until
recently the leading comedian of a
burlesque show at McGill, came next
with a Yiddish speciality. Mr.. Haff
blew in like a breeze from the East
Side in New York, and was made up
as a walking ad for Potash and
Perlmutter. He carried the banner
for the Yiddish.
When the audience got through
laughing they raised the curtain
again, and there were shed on the
stage a band of Juveniles, ranging in
age from nine to twelve years. More
of juveniles, under direction of Prof.
Schiller, and they played very pretty
music. Then there was some good
old vaudeville followed; a buck and
wing dance by Williams; banjo solo
by Schiller, and rafting Dutch
wooden shoe dance by Dickie Bird.
Chas. Gillingham, formerly with
Richards & Pringle's mfnstrels. and
once with Hamtree Walker & Will
liams, rendered a good monologue
stunt. mixed with good dope and
winding up with a song: You're
Bound to Get Something that You
Don't Expect" The show concluded
with a five peopled screaming farce
entitled THAT Rascal Pat with f.
f. McNaughton as the rascal, and a
well pleased audience filed out of the
hall. The show will be repeated to-
night in all its variety, and another
good nights fun can be counted
upon.

CONDITION IL SERIOUS.
DIR. Buckle, Suffering from Blood
Poison, Is Taken to Hospital.

The Rev. DR.. Geo. Buckle. pastor
of the Presbyterian church, is in a
critical condition at the hospital in
Central Ely as the result of compli-
cations which have arisen from the
injury he received last week when
he fell on the ley pavement on Ault-
man street. At the time of the ae-
eident the wound was dressed by DR..
Holmquist. who has charge of the
case. and DR.. Buckle was removed to
his apartments at the Steptoe hotel.
He apparently improved and was
able to be out on the street the early
part of this week, but later blood
poisoning set in and the formation of
pus in the neck necessitated an oper-
alton for its removal The swelling
of his neck and face has affected
both his hearing and sight, and 1t is
almost impossible for him to open
his eyes sufficiently to see. He is ex-
tremely weak and his condition is
very serious.

AMERICAN TROOPS RUSH
FOR MEXICAN BORDER

An American army number
ing 10000 men is gathering
. close to the Mexican border,
shrouds the movements of the I
. troops. Three brigades are be- I
ing or are to be quartered at I
San Antonio, Texas; one at Gal
. weston, Texas, and the third at
. San Diego. California. In ad-
. dition. marines are being dis I
patched from San Francisco to I
. San Diego. I
All kinds of rumors are
. afioat as to the secret mission
of the troops. One is that this
country is going to aid Diaz in
the preservation of Mexico
against the insurgents; and an I
other is that news has been re-
. ceived at Washington to the eff
. feet that the japanese govern I
ment is trying to arrange with
. Mexico for coaling station in
. Magdalena bay. in lower Cali
fornia. President Taft is silent I
as to these rumors. but there is ,
something in the ~ which has I
. the significance of war.
. President Taft has warned I
. Europe to keep hands off Mex I
. leo. This is in eonsonanee
. with the Monroe Doctrine.
The latest rumor is that I
. President Diaz of Mexico has I
. been dead for three days, I
. which, if true. would account I
. for the haste of the American I
army toward the border of the I
. sister republic.
. American fleets are being
. sent in hot haste. both from the I
. Atlantic and Paeie side to the
. southern waters.
