ADJUSTMENTS.

The stage of Engiish's Opera House is
busy sight this week. during the engage
ment OF Palmer Cox's Brownies. 1t takes
just 1i5 people to give the show. This in
ciudes thirty stage hands and electricians,
who are kept hustling for three hours dur
ing each performance. The immense amount
of scenery and props require plenty of
help, and when the evening Is over the
stage hands know they have been working.
The Brownies is one of the most pleasing
things OF its kind ever seen here. 1t is full
of novel effects. and the scenery is beauti-
full throughout. The Oriental ballet in the
second act is one of the delightful MEM
ories of the evening. The aerial effect in
the last act Will also be noticed for its
novelty and beauty Of color reflection. Two
of the speciality features are particularly
sood-the acrobatic work of the four Rich
ards and the mandolin and guitar playing of
Newhouse and Waffle, the wandering min
strels- There will be matinee to-day and

gin promptly at 2 and p. m. Many late

MADE A MISTAKE.
Controller johnson Does Not Agree
with the Council Majority.

Controller Johnson thinks the Council
made mistake in not passing the ordinance
taxing natural gas mains. He does not
think it will be necessary to increase the
tax levy because of the failure of the ordi-
nance, but ii is one of Mr.. Johnsons IDEAS
that corporations which enjoy privileges at
the hand OF the city should pay sufficient
taxes for the expenses of the government.
Mayor Taggart lodged giving an express
sion on the action OF the Council and his
action indicated that he did not care TO
commit himself on the question.

the dyspepsia by unwisc feeding. Then You'll

Rev. Mr.. Tongue came within an

ing fell in front of him, missing his

Day at the Graded
School.

Supt. Lewis appointed last Friday,
the 9TH of November, rs Arbor Day.
It was a fine day and brought bright
ness to many children. Nothing
could have been more beautiful than
the outlook from the school building,
and no more fitting day for the study
of nature. The rooms we're tasteful
ly decorated with autumn leaves and
flowers. Three hundred and fifty
bright faces gave life to the scene
The primaries came first and carried
out their whole programme with great
credit to themselves and their in
s~tructors. The programme consisted
of recitations and lively music. Mr..
Waters then took them out and gave
them a practical lesson in tree plant
ing.
The older children assembled at
O:3O, and carried out q most inter-
esting programme. Rev. Nh. Cole
conducted devotional exercises. The
music was excellent, patriotic and
inspiring. We have @ space to
mention the names of all the partici-
pants, but suffice it to say the chill
dren never did better. The Rev. j.
p. Stump was present, and spoke in
his happiest creating much
mirth and giving much good advice.
Two badges were given to be worn
until the next Evolutionary exercises.
In the primary it was won by Miss
Juliette Tabb. Rev. Mr.. Stump pre-
sented the medal to Philip Porter
field in the other department. 1t
was received amidst much applause.
The children then adjourned to the
grounds, and under the supervision
of Mr. Waters planted a tree for
each grade. Thus passed a happy
morning to all.
