SQUIRREL CLUBS CONSOLIDATE.
Essex, Dec. 30.-The Beaver Dam
Coon and Maple Leaf Squirrel clubs
have consolidated and are in camp for
the winter. The coon club was organ
lied October l, 1890. Its camp is stu
ated near Hemlock brook, four miles
from the center of the town. Near the
camp where it is located for the winter
is Davis pond, which is six miles long
and affords good fishing through the
ice. There are fourteen camping mem
bers. The usual amount of time this
club spends at the happy hunting
ground is about ten weeks. The MEM
bers of the club are opposed to the
sharing and trapping of game and al
ways make it a point to destroy traps,
which are contrary to the game law.
Every two weeks details go to town to
procure mail matter and necessities.
Many furs, and also several of the 9TH
er species, are sent in.
The squirrel club is only three years
of age, but during it's career has made
a good account of ITSELF owing largely
to its securing the we'll known veteran
sportsman and trapper, Elijah Shell

Polls Wonderland Theater.

The biograph continues the most ac-
ceptable attraction that has had a
place on the bills of Polls Wonderland
theater. Its many fine views and the
number of local ones shown with each
collection account undoub teddy for its
eminent success. Three new views
were put on yesterday, and will prob
ably be put on before the close of the
week, as Indicated by this dispatch,
which Manager Poll received last eve
ming:
"Have been working day and night
for your views Shipping three to-day.
AMERICAN M1NTOSCOPE CO"
With these views added to those that
have been running since Monday the
display will undoubtedly surpass any
ever given here. The vaudeville olio is
full of comedy. Those who contribute
to it include the Acme Four, Mr..
Leroy and Miss Clayton, the Rossi
brothers, Mile Clark, and the Adair
Twins. Next week Drurmond Staley
and Belle Birbeck.

Observation-Disclosures SCHEME

Sun oOAG LA L oNSlIlNNlI1
Messrs. Lever Bros, Ltd, proprietors
of Sunlight Soap, do nothing by halves.
They have built up the largest soap
business in the world. first, by turning
out very superior article, and, second,
by pluck and attractive advertising.
Their latest stroke in the United States
is a bold one. 1t is a Monthly Wrapper
Competition, the tempting features OF
which are the presentation of $1,000 in
cash, bicycles and gold watches every
month of the year 1897, to those who
collect and send in to Lever Bros New
York office the largest number of Sun
light Coupons The total value OF
the prizes to be awarded during the
year 1897 is $40,S0O
This competition will commence in
January, when four first prizes, each OF
800 cash, twenty second prizes each or
800 Pierce Special Bicycles, and forty
third prizes, each of $25 gold watches,
will be awarded to the successful COM
petitors of that month.
A great advantage in this compet-
ton is that it is held monthly, and,
therefore, those who do not succeed for
one month have plenty more opportunl-
ties during the year. Rules and full
particulars are given in our adVertis-
ing columns from time to time. The
firm of Lever Bros. is thoroughly re
sponsible and will do all they promise

SILVER PAPER IN CHICAGO.
That Is What the National Committee Is Fig
uring on-An Appeal Made for Cam
paign Funds.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-The day atJnational
headquarters was largely one of prepara-
ton for beginning the present office work
of next week. Chairman Jones some
days ago appointed Thomas Gahan, on
behalf of the committee, to act in con-
junction with Chairman Cantrell of the
state board of warehouse commissioners
for the purpose of ascertaining the cost
and other details in connection with the
publication of a silver morning newspa-
per in Chicago during the campaign. The
figures were submitted to Chairman Jones
today, and some time was spent with
Committeeman Gahan and Johnson on
this business. The question of starting
such a paper will not be decided until a
full meeting of the committee, probably
Monday morning. Secretary Walsh of
the committee will arrive in town tomor-
row. The plan is to start at once an
eight-page general newspaper, the editor
to be named by the national committee,
and the business end to be controlled by
Chicago citizens who will subscribe to the
stock. The paper will be subsidized by
the national and state committees, and
thousands of copies distributed through
out the west. 1t is proposed to make the
price l cent everywhere. The necessity
for such a paper in Chicago is admitted
by the committee, but the cost of printing
1t lis found to be higher than expected.
An appeal for campaign funds was made
tonight in an address to the people of
the United States.
