SWISS FEARFUL
 0F LANDSLIDE IN NEARFUTURE

Geneva, SwitzerIand. Oct. B. Anxiety is felt by the inhabitants of several villages in the Enga dine dis 1rict because Of the vagaries of an Alpine stream which has appeared in three different places during the past six weeks and as promptly vanished. The stream after cutting beds near villages disappeared overnight.
 In one instance the torrent passed quite close to the tourist resort of Bergun, causing the resort to become deserted. Swiss engineers have trac- ed the source of the stream to Lake Raveisch but failed in their expert Tnents with coIored water to follow it to it's discharge.
 Inhabitants recoIIecting the tragedy of 1892 at the health resort of Ger vais when a similar stream collect ing under a mountain caused ter ribIe landslide destroying the village killing and drowning several scores ot persons, have appealed to the can tonal government for assistance.

F2tirF meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some forn- or other, says a well known authority. because the uric acid in meat excftes the kidneys. they become overworIzed: :: get sluggish; clog up and ca-se all sorts of distress, particularly back ache and misery in the kidney region; Theumati- twinges, severe headaches acid stomach, constipation. torpid liver. sleepIessness, bladder and urin- arT irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't actins right, or if bIad- der bOlhers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act line. This famous salts is made from the acid cf grapes and lemon juice combined with lithia and has been used for generations to flush cIoggca kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity: also to neutraIize the acids in the urine so it no longer ilritates, thus ending bladder dis orders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent Iithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean thus avoiding serious kidney disease -AdY.

SOME WASTE.

The late Tody Hamilton, famous as a circus press agent, once planned a special performance at the winter headquarters of his show. He ar ranged to feed beer to the animals in their cages, and notified the New York newspapers.
 Among the reporters was a bibu- 1ous veteran known as Billy" The night before this assignment he had been engaged in a severe bout with John Barleycorn, and the next day felt greatly in need of a pick-me-up. As the keepers, under Hamilton's di- rection, poured gallons of beer into the receptacles for the animals sniff ing at it indifferently, Billy became more and more incensed at the waste.
 q can't stand this any longer, Todyr' he exclaimed. For the love of Mike, haven't you got an empty cage for me e?"-Everybody's Maga- zine.

UNDER The YOKE
Bentley Grand, Wednesday, Febrl.
dfV II.

Maria valverde, daughter Of a
wealthy Spanish grandee who has
settled in the Philippines, and Of
an American born mother, meets
Captain Paul Winter Of the Ameri-
can Army of occupation in the tur-
bulent islands of the Pacific. The
budding rose bursts suddenly into
full bloom. The ccquette realizes
at last the JOY Of living and falls
passionately into love with Winter.
She scorns the advances of Diabolo
ramirez. an overseer on her faith
er's large plantation.
Diabolo takes her refusal to ac-
cept his attentions with bad grace.
His hot blood boils with rage and
his heart blazes with revenge. He
foments an uprising among the
most, ignorant and savage of the
natives, and succeeds in killing
Maria's father. Then he makes the
girl herself his captive.
Word Of the revolt reaches the
headquarters, at Manila Captain
Winter is sent with a detachment
Of troops to rescue her. The
American soldiers, however, are
ambushed and Winter is made
prisoner.
Diabolo hearing that other
American reinforcemenls are COM
ing. tries by threatening death to
Winter and Maria, to learn from
the Captain how many men are in
the relief party. Wi nter refuses
to tell, whereupon Mar ia, to save
the man for whom she would go
through flame, gives the informa-
tion to Ramirez. She does not
know that she is pursuing course
just the contrary of what her sweet
heart would desire.
Dlabolo then attempts to murder
the American officer, but Maria
snatches~-the gun out Of his hand.
Meantime, force Of United
States artillery is on the way TO
the plantation. Diabolo is frantic
at the prospect Of being cheated out
Of his prey and he crushes Maria
in his arms. The girl struggles
with the passion Of tigress against
his embrace. but she sees that all
her efforts must fail. She is on
the verge Of physical collaps efrom
her eyertions when the American
guns begin to shell the great stone
wall around the house.
Diabolo runs to the window and
Maria frees Winter. While the
place IS still unner bombardment,
Diabolo and Winter engage in one
OF the tiercest fights ever screened.
The action mounts to a sensational
climax when a shell from the
American cannon sets the house
afire and stuns both Diabolo and
the gallant officer. The troops then
enter the villa and carry Maria and
her sweetheart to safety.

Shows Every Evening

It has been the Intention of
Manager Joe Nelson of the Bentley
Grand to make runs of three nights
a week. but so many persons have
come to him asking him that he
provide an every night entertain
ment that he has decided to provide
a schedule as follows: Mondays
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays
tickets will be 1Oc and 2Oc. On
Wednesdays and Fridays will be
special attractions and will have 20
and 80 cent prices. The 1Oc
and Zoe shows are program pictures
and will consis. of 5 reel feature
and | reel comedy, and Of up-to
date pictures. While the admis.
sion charges will be but 10 and 20
cents, the programs will be of the
more expensive films, and will not
be of a cheap character. On the
patronage extended to this weekly
program will depend whether an
every night program viii be con-
tinued. This program and price
arrangements will commence Mon
day evening. Feb. 10th.
While speaking of the movie
business we would call attention to
the fact that at Aberdeen and some
other places there has been quite
revolt Of many citizens against the
character of the pictures shown in
some of the theaters and an attempt
made to have them censored. The
fact that Manager Nelson has kept
his theater free from these obiec-
tionable features and has at all
times endeavored to give his pat
rons wholesome pictures is some
thing that the p.ople Of Milbank
can well be thankful for and make
them feel that they can afford to
give the Bentley Grand a full pat
ronage at all times.
