past week in Boston.
Misses Pearl Mclntire and Maude Nay,
both of %, recently made rs call.
Mr.. Roy l.. Marston, 5. Il. ). %.
Bowdoin 80, spent the Arbor Day recess
with his parents.
With the exception of last year. the
attendance at Skowhegan High school
is the largest for several years. There
are at present 30 pupils enrolled.
Through the kindness of the So
rosis, the Senior and Junior classes of
our school received an invitation to the
lecture by Mr.. Bancroft on Scotch
Songs and Song Writers.
We as a school should be proud to
boast of a Male Quartette that covers it
self with glory as it did at the First
Baptist sociable ON May L And above
all It's a Senior Quartette.
When the class of 80 completes the
course, twenty-four members will par
take in the honors of graduation. Ex-
cepting the class of %, who had an
equal number, '96 is the largest.
The much talked Of flag pole which
has been dislodged for sometime, was
recently blown off and as a result we are
without that necessity. The staff should
at once be replaced. Memorial Day will
shortly be here and We ought to raise
the stars and stripes on that day and
other occasions
Mr.. Burroughs, representing Boston
house interested in apparatus for heat
ing and yentiatng, recently made an
inspection of our building preparatory
for an estimate of putting in system.
Like others who have made a similar in
specton, he finds our building in ex-
ceedingly bad shape.
A fair delegation of the Sophmore
class, ON the evening of May ! enjoyed a
pleasant ride to the home of one of
the members, Mr.. Church, for the pur-
pose of hanging that worthy member a
May basket. After the performance of
the delightful operation, the evening
was spent playing games.
The members of ~ have made their
selections for the Junior exercises; the
Seniors are getting their articles well
under way We look forward to most
successful exhibition this year as Miss
Alice Sides has the training of the two
classes and she has in the past proven
her ability in that direction.
The interest in athletic matters CON
nected with our school is beginning to
assume a definite shape. A school team
has been organized with Marshall Niles
manager and Blaine ). Yies captain.

respective positions: AYore, C.;

CAPTURED THE PARTY.
Populists Claim They Now Control
Democracy...Will Support Bryan and
SeWall...ReasOns for So Doing.

Several members of the Peoples party
county committee met in the law office
of ex-Judge w. H. Stanton on Washing
ton avenue last night to discuss the
political situation. At least that was
the statement given out by M. j. Cole
man, the spokesman of the gathering,
when Tribune reporter called in search
of information.
I'VE have met in an informal way"
continued Mr.. Coleman, ito decide what
we shall do this fall so far as the ma
tional ticket is concerned. We will de-
eide about the local ticket later. No
official action has been taken yet and
none will be taken tonight but the sem
timent thus far expressed Is entirely
in favor OF supporting Bryan and Sew
all, the nominees of the Democratic
party.
you know it was not the old Demo-
cratic party that nominated Bryan and
Sewall. That party has been succeed
ed by another which is really the Popu-
list. In fact we have met the enemy
and captured it,"
win you decide to support Bryan
and Sewall before ascertaining who Will
be nominated by the Populists In st.
Louis?" queried the reporter.
Whatever is done In st. Louis Will
not change our position" replied Mr..
Coleman. "The platform adopted at
Chicago has Incorporated in it every
reform the Populists have been working
for during recent years and consequent
ly we will support it and the candidates
who are running on 1t believing that
1t Is easier to win with one party than
with two"
The meeting last night was not very
largely attended and another one will
be called for a later period when or
fetal action will be taken with refer
ence to the fall campaign.
The meeting last night was not very
largely attended and at its conclusion
the information was given out to the
press that no definite action would be
taken by the party until after the Popu-
list convention In st. Louis has com
pleted its work The sentiment Of the
meeting was In favor Of nominating a
full county ticket.
The committee adjourned to meet
next Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock in
the same place.

PRODUCTION OF MIKADO.
That Opera Will BE Sung at Froth-
ingham Thursday Night.

There never was an opera produced
on the American stage that met with
better success than "Mikado." 1t Is ac-
knowledged by musical people as be-
ing Gilbert and Sullivan's best effort
and as ii winner for theatrical managers
it stands at the head of the list of op-
eraS. This was clearly demonstrated
when ii was first produced in New
York city. At that time 1t was being
played at six different theaters, each
playing to crowded houses.
1t made its debut under the manage
ment of Il. Doyle Carte. Joseph r.
Burns. was then a member of the orig
inal company. In the production of the
"Mikado" at the rockingham on
Thursday evening, July 23, for the bene-
tit of the Pittston relief fund. the
staging is entirely under Mr. Burns
direction, whose work is on the same
style as that of the original company.
1t will be a musical as we'll as comic
treat from the rise to the drop of the
curtain William Connel purchased
the first box for the production.
The opera will be sung by the Caro-
Ian Glee club of Wilkes Barre, the COM
pany consisting of seventy persons.

KADZINA STILL ALIVE.
He Is Growing Weaker, However, and
Has Not Long TO Live-.-Where.
abOuts Of kOlar.

Michael Kadzina, Of Jessup, was
alive late last night, bu he was un-
conscious from IL o'clock yesterday
morning. Every hour he is getting
weaker. and as he Is possessed of a
great amount Of vitality the indications
are that he may live day or two
longer.
County Detective LeyshOn was quite
confident yesterday that Kolar. the man
who used the axe, will be captured
soon. Mr.. Leyshon does not think that
he has gone far away, but believes
that he is secreted among friends in
some of the mining sections of the up
per valley. Messengers are sent from
certain quarter regularly to inquire
about KadZina's condition.
The theory of the officers Is that Kolar
is anxious to know how his victim is
getting along and that the messengers
are sent out by him to keep him post
ed. Mr.. Leyshon refuses to disclose
where he thinks kolar Is or where the
messengers come from for the reason
that it might interfere with his cap
ture.
Absolutely nothing can be done by the
doctors for kadzina. The cash made in
his skull and the injury it has done to
the brain ax 50 extensive that it is a
mystery he did not die instantly.
