These two ster- genial old Peter Stuyvesant, burgo- v ' l t i : e COLORED JUBILEE SINGERS master of New Amsterdam, and Willie the guy youth who leads the gove- jor around New York when he Is rein carnated. The company will number 50 people. The production Is an es pecially handsome one. The cos tumes have been revised and are all new. Especial attention has been paid by Mr .Cullen to the voices of the chorus, as well ns to the beauty of the feminine portion. "The Burgo master" was the first of the Plxley & Lmler pieces to gain popularity, others being the "Prince of Pllsen," "King Dodo" and "The Grand Mogul." The music is of the singing and whistling variety, and it Is said that more copies of "The Tale of the Kangaroo" and "1 ' Love You" have been sold than any other songs, brought out in musical comedies. Placed i" SlcH "ai The Cliffords at the Pastime will to night attempt to work their way out of a steel cage prepared by Bay & Zwelfel, plumbers. The builders are stout In their faith that the cage es pecially built for the occasion cannot be deserted by the clever trunk and lock man. There has been considera ble talk about the streets today over the outcome of the test of skill tonight. Last night the trunk man got out of one and Into another dunk, both from the Fair store.

Such were the conditions last evening when "Shore Acres" was pre sented in the Steward before a small but admiring crowd. From start to finish the progress of the plot is slow and easy, oscillating between comedy and something heavier and more, .seri ous, but scarcely emotion. Few plays COMING TO L AGRANDE SOON. in recent years huve been so unlvei sully satisfactory. Villainy Is missing but that New England air permeates every scene, every action, In fact, making the production one long to be remembered. m m Oregon Agricultural College, Jan. 28, (Special.)

Mr. Zimmerman Is In the city looking for a home and expects to move to Pendleton to take up his permanent residence as soon as he can find a suitable house. According to Mr. Zimmerman the league Is especially active at this time and is doing all In its power to keep up the enthusiasm for prohibition and to extend the sentiment wherever pos sible. It will be Mr. Zimmerman's work to go Into the Interior counties and through all the wet districts In the eastern part of the state to lay the foundations for prohibition en thusiasm at the next election on that subject. He will also have charge of the league's efforts at law enforcement - v,o pastern part of the state am' will supervise the work of such detec tives, as the, league shall send " him.

They are mere shadows of men and women once strong and robust. Most of them are deceived as to the real cause of their trouble, which is Kidney Disease. Diseased kidneys fail to strain out the impurities from the blood, which re enterinK the circulation, course through the whole body and derange the entire system. The nerves, the heart, stomach and liver are all affected, and backache, headache and nervous exhaustion are resulting effects. If you are this way, Foley's will help you. It builds up the kidneys, so they will perform their functions properly, and the symptoms soon disappear. Commence taking it to day, and you will feel better at once, as it corrects irregu larities, restores lost vitality, and will make you st.ong and 'robust. Do not take chances on becoming a victim of Bright's disease or Dia betes, which are the result of neglected kidney disor ders, when Foley's Kidney Remedy will cure you. Sold nd Recommended by A. T.
