TEE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF HQS
Is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing1 the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fia Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding' the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pa
ties. The high standing1 of the CALI
FORNIA Fia Sykup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. . It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating' or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

A MERITORIOUS PRODUCTION.
The Dalles Clnb Minstrels Flay to a
Crowded Houie-Many Words el
Praise In tbelr Behalf.
More than the unexpected happened
Saturday evening when The Dalles Club
MinBtrela presented their show to the
public. The production has been looked
forward to for some time as one of .the
events of the season and a more happily
surprised audience could not have been
The boys acquitted themselves in a man
ner that showed they were far superior
to many traveling troupes that visit onr
city and by c ming before the public
more frequently would undoubtedly be
come artists ia their respective lines,
The Vogt opera house was crowded and
it is estimated there were four hundred
and fifty paople present. This is noth
ing more than a show of appreciation
which is right and proper, for no matter
when called upon, by whom or for what
purpose, the "boye" have always lent a
helping hand.
At 8:40 when the curtain arose and
Bhowed the entire company on the stage
they were greeted with rounds of ap
plause. After the opening overture the
-'first thing announced on the program by
' the interlocutor, N. J. Sinnott, was the
comic song, "Mr. J oh u eon Don't Get
Gay," by J. F. Hampshire, who ac--qaitted
himself in his usual facioatiAr
-way. Next was a bass solo by William
Frank, who, indeed, has a fine yoice and
without doubt will be a singer of some
note. Arthur LUark followed with a
comic song entitled "I Don't Care if You
Nebber Come Back" and was well re
ceived. That beautiful song, "She Was
Bred in Old Kentucky," was then ren
dered by Chas. Clarke in his sweet
voice, and brought down a storm of
applause. He very gracefully responded
to an encore and sang "Just One Girl,"
and when through was greeted with
rounds of applause. W. C. Croseen
sang "My Ann Elizer" and made
great hit. This ended the first part, but
between songs the end men, who were
Hollister, Crossen, ' Hampshire ' and
Arthur Clarke, made some very clever
local hits, which were appreciated for
their origin ality and appropriateness.
The second part opened with a duet
by Hazel Waud and Lei a Kelsay, en
titled "How I Love My Lu." They
were warmly received . but when they
finished the house simply went wild
with applause. For such young children
they did better than was expected, in
fact it was one of the. best numbers on
the program. The "Quaker City
Quartette," composed of W. Barrett, F.
Snipes, C. Heppner and Wm. Erank,
then appeared on the stage and sang
several selections which pleased the au
dience greatly and was all that could be
' desired. The famous "Lorenzo Brothers"
locally known as Carey Ballard and
Claud Kelsay were the next attraction,
and from their first appearance - on the
stage had the entire'attention of the au
dience. Their tumbling, jumping,
somersaults, and feats in this line was
well worth the price of admission alone.
The Legerdemain act by Messrs. Daw
son and Heroux was one that held every
' one in suspense for one trick so closely
followed by another required the utmost
attention. It will be but a short time
until Mr. Dawson will rival the famous
Hermann.
A clever character .sketch by Messrs.
Crossen and Frank "The Warmest
Babies in Coon Town" is especially de
serving of mention. They acquitted
themselves gracefully and were perfectly
at ease while on the stage. Their tarce
tragedy was- cleverly executed and was
warmly applauded, which showed that
the audience more than appreciated
their efforts.
J. F. Hampehire and Arthur Clarke in
their original sketch "Life in Alabam"
were superior to any time they haye yet
appeared before a Dalles house. They
are always good but this was the time
they excelled themselves. In the first
of their sketch they took the part of an
old couple and sang an old time song,
and then Mr. Clark in a lightning
change appeared as a dandy and amus
ed the audience with a monologue for a
few minutes until Mr. Hampshire, thefe
male impersonator, put in an appearance
when they eang several songs in their
usual pleasing way, receiving rounds
of applause, and as an encore did some
very pretty dancing, introducing many
new and difficult steps.
The cake walk, which was the grand
finale of the play was one of the best ever
produced In the city. It is thought by
some had the "walkers" partaken in
the grand cake walk given at the Irish
fair in Portland Friday, our "coons"
would have surely carried away the
prize. ired Van JMorden, in an excel
lent and easy manner, as master of
ceremonies, introduced the couples and
led the way. The first to appear were
the little girls, Hazel Waud in full dress
costume with Lela Kelsay on her arm.
They did very creditably and held the
audience in a spell for no more graceful
couple were seen on the stage, Messrs.
Crossen and Barrett then came upon the
scene and from the applause tbey re
ceived one would have thought the cake
was theirs. Next came Messrs. Parkins
and Heroux and executed some very
pretty steps and were awarded several
rounds of applause. Messrs. Snipes and
Heppner appeared in very pretty cos
tumes and with grace and cleverness gave
the spectators one of the prettiest dances
of the evening. They were followed by
Messrs. Frank and Gilford and from the
moment of their entrance were given re
peated applause. Their make-up was
exceedingly good and tbey did more than
justice to themselves. Last, bat not
least, were the stars of the evening.
Messrs. Clarke and Hampshire, who
executed a most difficult dance and were
received with a most cerdial greeting.
After the grand march the contestants
lined up and as the cake was presented
before each couple they were given re
peated applause. The last in line were
the little Misses Kelsay and Waud and
when the cake was placed before them
he building fairly shook with the ap
plause by the audisnce. As announc
on the program the couple receiving the
most applause was to be awarded the
cake, so the last named couple was the
successful one.
The orchestra, under the direction of
Prof. A. T. Baldwin, discoursed sweet
music during the performance and the
audience listened to- it with great
pleasure.
Besides the players much praise is due
R. H. Lonsdale, who is business man
ager of the company, for a great deal is
due to his efforts that the show was the
decided Buccess it was. As a parting we
will say, boys, you have worked hard to
give the public a good time, and we can
candidly say you have succeeded to the
uttermost.
How to Prevent Pnenmonla.
You are perhaps aware that pneu
monia always results from a cold or from
an attack of La Grippe. Daring the
epidemic of La Grippe a few years ago
when so many cases resulted in pneu
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used.
It counteracts any tendency of a cold or
La Grippe to result in that dangerous
disease. It is the beBt remedy in the
world for bad colds and La Grippe

The city of J3ssSn is located in, the
senter of a hilly valley, which abounds
in coal and iron ore, and the digging
for both and the melting of the ore and
casting the metal into ingots and roll
ing it into bars have been the occupa
tions of the inhabitants for centuries
past. Frederich Krupp, the founder of
the great works bearing his name, was
born in 1787, and when crucible cast
steel was first being introduced in
England, and its importation from
there into Germany had been made im
possible through the edict of Na
poleon called "the continental-speere,"
Y. Krupp began to produce crucible
sast steel, first in small quantities for
tiles, stamps, rolls for coins and shears,
out only slowly could he convince and
persuade German manufacturers to use
ois cast steel, and after a life full of
iisappointments and hardships he died
ja. 1826, after a long and severe illness,
.eaving to his son Alfred little else than
the old homestead, which still stands
jn the midst of the great works, and
the secret of his invention.
Alfred Krupp's energy and enterprise
soon conquered. His first success was
to be able to furnish cast steel of a
varying degree of hardness, thereby in
creasing its adaptability for many new
purposes. Next came the invention of
the weldless car wheel tires, which
were patented in 1853 in all countries
and furnished him capital for enlarg
ing his plant. "In 1865 he interested
himself in coal mines, iron ore mines
and furnaces, which should furnish the
material f ov his own works, and in
1867 he began to reap the harvest from
bis experiments inaugurated long since
with steel cannons, and the great
Franco-German war .of 1870-71 proved
beyond doubt their superiority as
against the old bronze cannons. Since
then the success of these works and
their growth have been phenomenal,
and when Alfred Krupp closed the busy
and successful and philanthropic work
of his life in 1S87 at Villa Huegel, his
princely home on the side hills of the
valley of the Euhr, the city of Essen,
in recognition of his great work, erect
ed in his memory a beautiful monu
ment on the most prominent square of
the city and deputations from many
nations mourned at hi3 grave.
Essen is a city of 90,000 inhabitants,
and over 20,000 of this population are
employed in the works of the able and
energetic son of Alfred Krupp Fred-
rich Alfred. Over 1,200 acres of ground
are covered with buildings and ma
chinery. Many coal mines furnish fuel
for the works, over 400 iron ore mines
furnish the metal, and large iron ore
deposits in Spain, near Bilboa, have
been purchased in addition, and a spe
cial fleet of steamers has been built
which bring over 300,000 tons of this
Spanish iron ore from Spain to the
German coast and up the .Rhine. Twen
ty furnaces at Duisburg and Neuwied-on-the-Ehine
are reducing this ore for
the Krupp works and are owned or
controlled by them.
The main street of Essen divides the,
Krupp works into two parts, connected
overhead with innumerable mammoth
steam pipes and bridges, and parallel
with it, running east and west, the
tracks of the Hhcnish railway pass the
works in the north, v.-liile in the south
the railroad leading from Susseldorf to
Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin skirts the
mill. Innumerable tracks connect
these two main lines of railroad, sur
rounding in an inextricable network
the buildings and crossing the street
leading to Ji-uc-Iheim below its level,
Powerful locomotives bring train loads
of raw material into the yards and leave
the works with valuable products,
finished Aud ready 'for shipment to all
parts of the globe. Miniature engines
and cars move about between the build
ings on narrow-gauge tracks, bringing
material of smaller size from one build
ing to another until it 13 finished and
