Word Of Explanation.

Some of our friends who are tavlpg
coupons for our art offers appear to be Ia
boring under the idea that these are num-
bered for the parts. If they will read the
coupors upon our first page carefully they
will fl nd that this is no longer the case.
When we started the Magic City we Iut the
coupons for both portfolios upon the same
basis, viz: Two coupons of different
dates and ten cents will tie taken
in exchange for any one of the parts
up to the one last offered for delivery.
Fer instance any person bringing two cou-
pons and ten cents on the Sights and Scenes
of the World can have Il cir choice of num-
bers up to and including number >. Later
numbers will be added to the list a. fast As
they are ready for delivery. Any person
bringing two coupons of different dates for
the Magic City can have his choice OF the
first two numbers. We EXPECT to have part
three ready for delivery before the close Of
week.
In response to queries from various read
ers we will state that Sights and Scenes of
the World when completed will contain
90 parts. The magic city will be completed
in l6 parts.
We shall have binders on exhibition at
the JOURNAL counting room within few
days which wes can furnish our readers at a
very reasonable figure.

To the Editors of the Kennebec Journal:
"From one learn ALL" 10 an old adage
and it is az true today as anciently, that il
false in one point, the whole is false. /
have been shown the auditors report up to
Feb. l, and find in the first item, that OF
abatements, a balance unexpended of
S793.7l. The city council appropriated
for attachments $3.50, As the record shows.
1t therefore appears that the unexpended
balance is $43.7l more than the appropria-
ton. But the New Age claims $26, 900 un-
expended on the business of the past year.
If the same system of jugglery is carried
through all the accounts, it would be an
easy matter to find almost any sum unex-
pended. True, the auditor says, "appro-
priation and revenue" but there can be no
revenue from attachments, and to have a
balance of S793.7l left out Of $4,000 must
be fearful strain on the jug. Perhaps
the jug has been strained too much, hent e
the overdraft by the city rum shop. The fact
is to get an unexpended balance, at all, the
unexpended balances of the previous year
have been drawn upon, and when the bills
of 1898 have been paid, instead of an I'M
expended balance there will be found a
large deficiency. If taxpayers want to
learn how much-make a change March

Business is very dull in the West q,
present." said Mr.. Joseph T. Beck yester
day, who has recently returned from there
on visit.
"The silver bill has effected the mining
industry, and the ranchers are terrorized
over the Wilson tariff bill.
Zone satisfaction sheep dealers will have
if the bill becomes law, is that it will prob
ably increase the sale of mutton. 1t
will tend to drive the small dealers in
sheep out Of business
'Hss this been good winter for the
Sheep" asked the gentleman in converse
ton.
Eyes, very good. The winter has been
mild; we have fed only two days during
the season. When left there, the Goth
of December, :he droves of sheep were feed
ing on the hills, and the weather delightful
and the grass green. You see we deal
in sheep by the hundreds and thou
sands in several of the western
states and when we have to feed q large
drove numbering several thousand it costs
considerable money.
"The mining is also dull at present,
many persons being out of employment on
account of large mining corporations being
obliged to shut down work till the money
market braces up, so to speak"
What is the general price of sheep
asked the listener.
CAL the way from 81 90 to $l.25, and
81 so for good ones. There are such large
numbers throughout the sheep raising Sec
tons that the price is low. Horses are
selling from $40 to S75, and the latter price
is paid only for the finest ones. At present
horses are very low, and being plentiful, do
not find very ready sale except to parties
who buy them to ship for specializing and
there is not any handsome sum to be real
lied from that.
1.-The people are waiting for a deciled
change in the condition of affairs. The
depression or hard times is felt to a much
greater xtent in the West than in the East. v
Mr.. Beck is located in Oregon, and is en-
gagged in sheep raising in company with his
brother. Mr.. Beck formerly lived here and
is home on a brief visit.

At THE OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT
Ullie Akerstrom will present that bright and
fascinating comedy, "The Sultan's Favor
ite." 1t is well known fact that melodrama
and emotional plays of like nature have lost
favor with the average theatre-goer. What
they want in these stringent times is to be
amused. They can see quite gloom enough
in their daily life without seeking it in the
theatre, consequently, comedies are all the
rage.
The ''Sultans Favorite,' is a panacea
for all ills, mentally and bodily for the time
being. If you can manage to get into
the Opera House this evening and Sc
cure seat, you will, within ten minutes
after the curtain rises, have completely for
gotten all your ills and laugh as heartily as
those who have been more favored. The
situations are exceedingly amusing and the
graduation, from the sublime to the ridicu-
lous is at times so startling that will upset
the gravity of the most confirmed cynic.
Between acts second and third Miss Aker-
strom will introduce her new dance LA
Chromotope." In it she is veritable
kaleidoscope, and the ever changing colors
are so beautifully blended, that the glory
of the rainbow is lost in comparison.
