Dramatic entertainment.
In the dramatic entertainment given at
the Oakville public school house on Friday
evening last. our people were permitted TO
enjoy q rare treat.
The school building. under the skilliul
hands OF the carpenter, coupled with the
delicate and tasteful touch of fair decorat.
ors, had been transformed into a vesitable
theatre when the curtain at 8 o'clock was
rung back on the LIST act of the play. "The
Fruit Of his folly"
The play is q act drama by strong
in conception and beautifully wrought out,
skillfully blending the comic with the pa.
thetic and illustrating with powerful re-
alism, the results of d departure from the
paths Of rectitude, yet proving by the char
acter and course of Dorothy" that how
ever wide the departure may be on the
part OF husband, the love of a true wife
can never die.
The young ladies and gentlemen present
ing this play TO the public. are Miss Spal-
ding, Miss Mattingly, Miss Buckler, Miss
Robinson and Messrs st. Clair, Lafayette
and Victor Buckler, Robt. Graves, and
Henry Turner.
They all have talents of high order
and having given much time, careful study
and labor 10 the preparation of this play,
their rendition of it Is almost faultless.
They are now In the very laudable work
Of trying 10 start q circulating library in
Laurel Grove and looking TO this, the play
will be produced in Chaptico on Tuesday
evening, 22nd instant.
We bespeak for them large audience,
feeling satisfied, that great mistake will
have been made, If the Hall is not filled.

WANTED TO STEAL POST OFFICE.
"A Queer Feud in Small Kansas
Village.

Chicago, March 30.-A special from
Topeka, Kansas, says that an old feud
between two factions at Hill City has
broken ont again.
The principal street of the town has
been the dead line between the two rival
factions, the Pomeroy people, led by a
wealthy Boston man of that name, and
the opposition led by another wealthy
man named McGlll
For years the post Office has been on tho
McGiL side, but tia postmaster, o. B.
kilkey, being Pomeroy man, secretly
secured permission from the government
to move the post office across the street.
Saturday morning before daylight, fifty
OF the Pomeroy faction appeared at the
post office and moved it across the street
while the McGill men slept. When the
latter heard of it {. posse was organized
to move t back, but fear Of government
officials dissuaded them and a riot for
tile time being was narrowly averted.

DON'T TAKE A SUBSTITUTE.
Preparations that are "Just as Good" Will
Seldom Stand the Test.

A recent article in the New York
Times says that 1--WE are confronted with
the serious problem of how to prevent
keepers of drug stores from palming off
some preparation Of their own in place of
goods that are guaranteed to be pure and
wholesome, and which are put up in orig
inal packages, with the name and trade
mark of the manufacturer on them.
No large and profitable sale oan be OBJ
tanned for any article which has not NOR
it behind it, The advertiser merely
makes known the quality of the article
he has to sell, and his profits come from
the steady demand of retail customers,
who find by experience that the article
is what it is represented to be. He makes
his goods on large scale, saves all posi-
BILE economies, ami, naturally, can make
the best article. But the keen competi-
tlon OF business brings a constant pressure
upon the resailer to substitute an inferior
article for one on which there is living
profit
There is one aspect of the sale of sub
stituted goods which the public certainly
should know about. There are many
non-secret manufacturers of drugs in this
county who will put up an limitation
of the local druggist who sells it on every
package The druggist who buys these
goods has no guarantee that they are pure
and. as a matter of fact they are fire.
quently adulterated with comparatively
harmless drugs, which cost. however,
much less than the real drug The manu-
faoturer would not care to sell them un-
der his own name as pure because it would
iniure his reputation. If the druggist
put them up himself he probably would
| not have tie skill. nor the deliberate dis
honesty, to substitute cheap goods for dear
ones; but by shifting the responsibility,
the fraud on the public is lost sight of.
1t is not the man ufacturer's business; it
is not the druggists business, although
they are sold under his name; profit
is made all around, and only the public
is the loser.
When you ask in drug store for any
particular article that you want, and are
put off with the answer that the druggist
has another, made by himself, which is
not only better but cheaper, take care
You can always afford to pay fe y cents
more for that article which has record
| of years of results back of it.

Charges Against Members of the Chicago

Quoted on the floor of the Board of Trade

Lawyer Riddle intimated that members
of the Board have been doing a bucket
shop business with the clerks during
luncheon hour.
'.If that is SO, and the Board knows
it, declared the Court, proceedings
should be commenced to have the charter
revoked" The attorneys for the buoketi-

have, or what proceedings they will take
until the motion to quash the indict-
ments is disposed of. Judge Norton will
probably render his decision next week.
