AT LAST.
We Are to Have An Opera House in
Portland.

Over 100000 Raised-Prompt Work By
Messrs. Wright. Winslow and Cox.
The last move FOR a new theatre is 4
| success.
The original plan, which was formed
less than a week ago, was to raise $50, O0(
in $1,000 subscriptions to common stock,
issue bonds for $50, 600 more and out OF
this fund of $1,000 900 build theatre, or
the most available lot that would be s
credit to the city, and one in which every
citizen would take pride.
Over $50, 600 has been raised, and with
so little effort on the. part of the promoters
of the plan, that they have given up the
idea of issuing bonds and are now out
for 500, 900 in stock.
The gentlemen who have been at work
with this object in view for the past few
days are Mr.. A. R. Wright, Mr.. E. B.
Winslow and Mr.. H. P. Cox. 1t turns
out that they have been precisely the
right men to successfully accomplish suoh
an object, for they have met with most
cordial response from every citizen
solicited.
The subscriptions have been only $1,000
for each subscriber.
1t was the intention Of the present sub
scribers to the stock to meet this evening
and select five or seven men to organize
the corporation, select at once the lot and
make without delay the necessary con-
tracts for building and leasing. But the
subscriptions have come in SO rapidly
that this meeting has been deferred with
the hope of raising the entire amount in
stock to obviate ii possible the necessity
of issuing bonds. Many of the men seen
have Indicated desire to take more than
$1,000 worth of stock and under the new
nrrangementsthey may be given an oppor-
tunity to do this. -FOUR we'll known oiti-
zens have already said that they woul
take $4,000 each. mhis means that the
full amount will doubtless be subscribed
within few days and the details of or
| ganizatiOn at once begun. But even II
the full amount is not subscribed the re.
mainder can be raised by bonding. So
the success of the project is now com
pletely assured. 1t is the general desire,
however, to raise the full amount in stock
and every citizen who is interested in the
move will be given an opportunity te
| swell the fund.
The matter of location and contract fol-
| building, etc., will be left entirely with
the committee that will be chosen.

A DOUBTING THOMAS.
Who Stood Upon the Ragged Edge Of
Health.
BUT WAS WILLING TO BE CON-
WINGED OF THE TRUTH,

He Has at Last Become a Firm Believer.
Some people are SO constituted that
they prefer to keep ON in the beaten path
and never to strike out for themselves.
when they are sick they rely upon few
oid-fashioned medicines and apparently
choose to suffer rather than try modern
remedy of established reputation.
Among the various Ills of such people
none is more common than biliousness,
which is caused by torpor Of the liver,
thus preventing the proper digestion of
the food, which decomposes and ferments
IN the stomach. This causes dizziness,
headache, sleeplessness, pains in the stom-
aoh and abdomen, with an accumulation
OF gas; there is constipation and possibly
kidney trouble, the complexion ia pale
and sallow and life is only prolonged
misery.
In such cases what is needed is a nerve
and blood-builder to bring back the
bloom Of youth to pale and sallow people,
