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.

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. Their marvel
ous acts continue to draw big house
for the Pastime. The moving pletuivs
are very satisfactory.

PENDLETON
I
Pendleton is to be the headquarters
of a campaign for the extension of lo
cal option through eastern Oregon,
and the enforcement of the local op
tion law where the voters have decid
ed for prohibition, according to Rev.
B. F. Zimmerman of Portland, a field
worker of the state Anti-Saloon league
who has been assigned to the eatsern
Oregon territory, to "continue thej
movement, says the Pendleton East
Oregonian. 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.
The leHgue now, Mr. Zimmerman says,
has three detectives employed and
sends them wherever they are needed
In the work of law enforcement. Hi
believes that Pendleton may offei
the ma field of usefulness.
At present the organization's work
U centered at Salem, where It Is us-!p-:
-very effort to continue the loca'
option law as It is at present, and es
peclally to prevent beer from beliu
exempted from Its provisions.

A North Powder special to tht

New Tricks ToiiIkIiI. '
The slde-psllttlng feature at the

Bang will be varied tonight. The
lady tumblers and acrobats will also
have new phases to their work. The
suicide people are growing more pop
ular every day they are here, for their
work Is extremely catchy. The films
that were put on last evening and ap

and pretty.
Are You
Only
Half Alive?
So many people look and
act as though they were only
half alive.
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.

Charles A. Dana,' former editor of

"As a writer of biographies he has no

fascinating as It is exceptional.! He
took himself as a poor country lad,
created out of the crude material the
orator who often combines a Webster
