Fantages Theater Presents Bill This Week That Is Brlmfnl of Laughter. THERE will be no dissension of opinions scattered broadcast con cerning Pantages bill this week. The vote is unanimous that the show Is "great." Al Fields and Jack Lewis, whose names are things to conjure with In the East, have brought their hansom cab, with a tired calico horse to draw It, onto Pantages circuit, and their act yesterday simply carried away the house. Al is a conversational luna tic and Jack encourages him In. It. They nave a crisp, refreshing- way or talk ing about nothing in the world. By turns the merits of the tea-taster, coffee-smeller, beer-listener and sugar- feeler as a profession are discussed with great earnestness, while the audi ence rocks Itself Joyfully. Then they wind up with a son, a tongue-twisting ballad called "She Sells Sea Shells. which Is convulsing in effect. The two clever comedians call their act the "Misery of a Hansom Cab." Its humor is infectious. Torcat and Flor TVAliza have a fas cinating entertainment. A hundred roosters of every age, color, size and condition of servitude flit and flop, am ble or pertly swagger about the stage. Each is a post-graduate in some va riety of trick. They bicycle, "teeter totter" and have a grand boxing match. As a distinct novelty this Brahma-Buff Cochin-Leghorn-rominecker act takes the corn. It's a departure in the line of accomplished stage chickens. Edna Tracy, with a positive penchant for the piano and a lock of hair that she blows out of her eyes every third note, scores a success with her two partners, Goetz and Tracy. Singing. dancing and comeding, this trio whiles away time delightfully. Sensational in every turn made by its seven members is the acrobatic achieve ments of the Luigl Piccaro troupe. They are veritable whirlwinds, and fly about nimbly as if propelled by the wind. The Gerhardt Sisters, who are pretty and young, give some old songs in a new way. The Halkings open the bill in a capital shadowgraph act, with com edy uppermost in all the picture studies. Vivian Marshall has succeeded Lottie Mayer in the swimming act presented last week, and it is being held over till the mid-week. Miss Marshall, who is a lithe little athlete in the water, gives some splendid examples of her prowess. LAREDO'S END IS TOLD H. P. NUNX HEARS FROM PARENT WHO WITNESSES DESTRUCTION. Federals Take Care That Kothtngr Left Before Evacuation of City, and Dynamite Is Used. H. P. Nunn, of this city, has received letter from his father, A. H. Nunn, describing? the destruction of Nuevo Laredo by the federal troops and the exodus of the refugees from the burn ing town. Mr. Nunn is a resident of Seattle, but has been engaged in real estate transactions at Laredo, Tex., for the last year. Isiuevo Laredo, the Mexi can town, is across the river from Laredo, Tex. The letter is dated April 26. Mr. Nunn writes: "Nuevo Laredo is a heap of ruins. Not a single one of the better build ings save the cathedral was left stand ing. All the railway buildings, round houses, extensive shops and a fine stone depot, also manufacturing buildings, large flouring mill, steel works, smel ter and glass works were blown up or burned to the ground. Not a single one of the business blocks is left stand ing. The American consulate was burned to. the ground. "For several days the federals had been preparing to leave and had ar ranged to destroy the town. By order of the commanding General, Cantina, large quantities of coal oil were dis tributed through all parts of the city by the soldiers with orders for its use. Orders were given to all the people in town Friday morning to leave, for the troops would withdraw that evening. Before leaving they announced that they would fire the town. "It was a fiendish, dastardly, cow ardly act, deliberately planned and ex ecuted. In the forenoon the coal oil was emptied and the mines laid. The trains were made ready to convey the officers and soldiers out of town. Short ly after 1 P. M. soldiers with torches were sent about to touch off the tin der. As the explosions echoed and re echoed and the flames swept over the city the garrison of 1000 or 1200 took the train and puffed out of town to the accompaniment of martial music." 20,000 RESIDENTS LOST TOM RICHARDSON TELLS HOW IN DIFFERENCE HURTS. " "Older Women of Oregon," He Says, "Io Not Show Courtesy They Should 'to Visiting Women." "Oregon has lost at least 20,000 resi dents through the indifference of the women of the state to the newcomers who come here," said Tom Richardson, emissary of the Oregon Development League, at a series of meetings In the Coos Bay country last week. "The older women of Oregon," he as serted, "do not show the courtesy they should to the visiting women, and this one fact is a great hindrance to the development of the state. "This condition is present not only in Marshneld and other parts of Coos Bay, but in almost every section of the state. "It may be that the women of the state are not conscious of this lack of friendliness, and have depended upon the men to do the chief part of the work necessary in making it pleasant for newcomers, but the fact exists Just the same. The Portland man is devoting several weeks to exploitation work in the Coos Bay districts. He has held meetings at numerous places and has aroused In creased enthusiasm in the cities and towns that he has visited. The people of Coos Bay, he finds, are preparing for increased business and wholesome development following com pletion of the Southern Pacific exten sion, which will be some time next year. residents of Coos County now are considering the plan of voting $300,000 in Donds for harbor developments. Mr. Richardson has told them in repeated utterances it is the best possible invest ment they can make. ' On his Coos Bay invasion Mr. Rich ardson has had the moral and vocal support of Dr. J. R. Wetherbee. for merly of Portland, and now owner of the Star ranch in Curry County. BIBLE IGNORANCE GREAT Chicago Parents Ask Where Story of Joseph's Coat Is round. CHICAGO. May 5.

Reliable evidence is abundant that women are constantly being restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound The many testimonial letters that we are continually pub lishing in the newspapers hundreds of them are all genu ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude for the freedom from suffering that has come to these women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain such recommendations ; you may depend upon it that any testimonial we publish is honest and true if you have any doubt of this write to the women whose true names and addresses are always given, and learn for yourself. , Read this one from Mrs. Waters: Camdeh, N.J. "1 was sick for two years with nervous spells, and my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a galvanic battery, but nothing did me any good. I was not able to go to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went awav for his: health, and my husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I am like a new woman ancf am at my usual weight. I recommend your medicine to every one and so does my husband." Mrs. Tim Waters, 1135 Knight St., Camden, K.J. And this one from Mrs. Haddock: TTtioa, Okla. " I was weak and nervous, not able to do my work and scarcely able to be on my feet. I had backache, headache, palpi tation of the heart, trouble with my bowels, and inflammation. Sinca taking the Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I am better, than I have been for twenty years. I think it is a wonderful medi- i cine and I have recommended it dock, Utica, Oklahoma. Now answer this question if you can. Why should a woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that it has saved many others why should it fail in your case? For 30 years Iydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been, the standard remedy for fe male ills.
