guests may count on having a most
enjoyable time. Special music has

be filled. The money realized from

“The Kangaroo” at The Liberty.
Tonight the World Film corpora
tion presents the Kangaroo at the
Liberty Theatre.
“The Kangaroo,” the Terrors of
Old New Orleans, deals with an epi
sode of the slave-holding states, about
1834-1836. An arch conspirator
known as “Shack,” headed a gang
known among themselves as the spec
ulators. 'i’his gang recruited repre
sentatives from all over the Southern
States. Their membership included
from the lowest strata of white up
to ministers of. the gospel, judges,
sheriffs, and men in high offices. No
robbery, large or small, was disdain
ed. Slave running also proved very
lucrative. The slaves were induced
to escape from their masters with the
promise to run them North,, where
they could secure freedom. Once in
their power the gang would embark
them in boats, dispose of them to
some member of their unscrupulous
band and send them to worse slavery
in the farther south. All this was
criminal enough, but the “Specula
tors” were organized for a far more
terrible purpose, viz., on a given day
(secretly decided upon) the slaves
were to rise against their masters,
and the “Speculators” taking advan
tage of the whites’ attention being
centered on saving their lives and
subjugating the slaves, were to loot
all plantations, stores, banks, etc.,
and escape with their booty to Mex
ico. In this film they are shown in
one of their nefarious operations, in
a series of thrilling situations and
scenes teeming with action.
Shown at the Liberty Theatre to
night.

CUSTOMS DUTIES TO
ALASKA ARE TOO HIGH.
A certain Valdez lady’s husband is
enjoying a joke at her expense and
she is wondering if the people Of the
eastern states will ever become ac
quainted with the fact that Alaska is
not a foreign country or one of the
Canadian provinces. Some weeks
ago she sent a big New York mail or
der house a small order accompanied
by a postoffice order. The last mail
brought a letter from the house, the
Chas. William’s Stores, stating that
they had been forced to cut out their
foreign order department owing to
the customs duties and trouble in
sending goods in bond to Alaska.

MIDDIES EXPELLED
EDDM ANAPDLIS
Secretary Daniels Says they Would
Later Become Undesirable Offi
cers If Forgiven.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Six of the
midshipmen who were involved in the
scandal whereby they obtained ad
vance sheets of the subjects in the
examinations, have been expelled
from the naval training academy at
Anapolis, and six other middies who
engaged in hazing have been suspend
ed for one year.
Secretary Daniels declares that the
middies violated the rules and regu
lations by refusing to obey orders,
and that later they would become un
desirable officers if permitted to re
main in the navy.
The decision of Secretary Daniels
is considered very severe and the dis
missal of the young men is receiving
severe criticism from many papers.

The After-Hours
Salesman
MANY concerns lose money every night by not attract
ing the attention of the crowds on the streets in the
evening. On the other hand, many other^ concerns pros
per because they employ the after-hours salesman—Elec
tric Light. You can readily pick out these stores on the
busiest thoroughfares—their show windows pouring a
brilliant flood of light upward, outward and downward,
thereby adding an attraction to the goods displayed not
obtainable in any other way. Few people can resist a
glance at the beautiful effect—most people stop and ad
mire it. The proprietors of these shops are well versed
in all modern methods which make for success in devel
oping trade. They know that the lavish use of electric
light pays, and use Edison Mazda Lamps to obtain it at
a minimum cost.
