UncIe Toms cabin Next Wednesday.

Stetson's Uncle TOMS Cabin company
shows at the opera house next "Wednesday
evening at the popular prices, rs, IS and
SO cents, the tickets being for sale at G. E.
Capron's. The company showed in Brigh-
ton, N. j., recently and the Star pub
lished in that place says:
The largest bloodhound in the world is
with Stetson's Uncle TOMS Cabin Co. He
weighs 203 pounds and cost $1,000. This
is the best dramat1zation of this celebrated
play ever presented here and the specialties
were Of high order. This combination
could not do otherwise than immensely
please the large audience in attendance.
OF the specialties the dancing of the
Topsiss was fine exhibition of supplene's
and dexterity. This the audience were
not slow in approaching. The natural
melody of the Lone Star Quartette, in
their southern songs, the overtures OF the
orchestra and the mandolin students were
equally entertaining in the extreme. A
calcium light situated in the key of the
gallery arc cast rich glowing colors over
he tableaux with charming effect.

DO YOU sUFfER7
What a Physician Has 10 Say About
This Season.
Authorities Say Rheumatism is
Unusually Dangerous.
Sig if1cance Of It's Alarming in
crease DURING this Fall.

There has been SO much discussion
recently about the alarming increase of
rheumatism in this section that q citizen
was instructed to investigate.
. A member of the board of health said
d" Do not quote me as saying that rheuma-
tism IS necessarily mortal disease. It
isn't. But there are often times when Il
leads to heart complication or disturbance
OF the brain and results in death.
And, whether dangerous or not, the
suffering is always intense. Anxiety and
care. mental shock and injuries lead to
rheumatism, but the prevalence of this
disease at this time in this village and
vicinity is undoubtedly owing to the damp,
cold weather of the fall months"
The usual treatment OF rheumatism is
uncertain, inefficient, and disappointing.
as is acknowledged by many physicians.
Henry e. Robe, who resides at No. l
Sycamore St., Buffalo, and who is a prom
inent G. A. r. man, recently created con-
siderable stir by going before Jas. w.
chatham, notary public, and swearing to
to the truth of the following statement:
Early last fall, had a severe attack
Of rheumatism, accompanied with great
weakness, exhaustion and indigestion.
was incapable Of anything like work, but
my health was fully restored by the use of
that vegetable medicine, Paine's celery
compound. 1t has brought joy to our
household, and the physician who discov-
cred it may truly be called the Good
Samaritan"
Inquiry among our druggists shows that
this compound has been used by quite a
number in Bellows Falls, and no case Of
rheumatism or neuralgia has failed to yield
to its curative powers.

Opera House Seats.

The chairman of the lecture course COM
mittee offers the following: So much criti-
cism having been made at the opening en-
tertainment of the lecture course because
only one door into the opera house was
open and the large crowd was obliged to
stand on the stairway and into the street
awaiting turn to pass in through one mar
row door, the committee has decided to
keep both doors open tomorrow evening.
Those in charge of the opera house explain
why but one door is used in entering the
hall on the ground that usually it has been
found to cause less Inconvenience and wait
ing The patrons seem to get turned around
in ascending the stairs, many of them
entering the door on the wrong side from
where their seats are located. There be-
ing so little space in the rear of the hall
back of the seats, if two streams of people
meet there crossing In opposite directions
it creates jam taking longer for them to
get seated than from one door. As pat
rons of the course occupy the same seats
through the course and have been to them
once there should be no trouble hereafter.
Care should be taken to enter the door on

The football game Saturday, November
6, between the high school team and the
boys from Black River academy was hard
fought battle and resulted in victory for
the visiting team. B. r. A. won the toss
and chose the west goal. McKinnon
kicked off to Clark who advanced the ball
well toward the center of the field before
downed. The ball was then carried for
ward by steady rushes toward Bellows
Falls goal and the first touchdown was
scored in less than three minutes from the
beginning Of play. The rain meanwhile
was falling in torrents in the faces OF the
home team and on the backs Of the visi-
tors. The goal was kicked and in another
three minutes second touchdown was
scored from which the goal was missed.
The rain now ceased and the Bellows Falls
boys began to hold their opponents in check
and made large gains themselves whenever
they had the ball. No more scoring was
done by either side. Fumbllng and an off
side play ruined the home teams chances
for touchdown but the Ludlow boys said
this was the hardest game they had played
this year. Both teams were weak in de-
fensive work and showed too much tend
ency to tumble at critical times. Consid-
ering the fact that this was the high schools
third game and that they have no team to
line up against in practice they played a
very creditable game. Much of B. R. AS
success was undoubtedly due to their
teacher, coach and full back CLARK, former
ly of this place and at one time substitute
tackle on the Dartmouth varsity eleven
The friends of interscholastic athletics in
this town fail to understand how such q
man is allowed to play on an academy
team against high school boys who were in
the Sd and 4th grades when he was in our
own high school. The following is the
line m:

boys went about where they pleased. Theil

Death Of 0. o. 0lco,..

The community was shocked az rarely
happens on learning last Saturday evening
Of the suicide of Oscar d, Olcott, life
long resident of the town Of Rockingham
and one OF its well-to-do and respected
citizens. The story Of the sad occurrence
can be told in few words. Mr.. Olcott
was in usual health and spirits so far as his
family and friends know, and no one seems
able to assign reasonable cause for the
act 1t does not appear that he contem-
plated self destruction for any length Of
time for on Saturday morning he made
some business plans for the following week.
He was not seen after l 30 p. NJ, and
about 5 p. M. Mrs. Olcott became alarmed
about him and began some Investigations
William Flanders, who was working at the
home of Mrs. F. P. Ball just across the
way, was asked to ascertain Mr.. Ocott's
whereabouts. He in company With o. E.
Burnham went to the barn and found the
lifeless body hanging from beam in the
loft.
Oscar Divoll Olcott was born in Rock
ingham January 30, 1S43, and was the
only son of Elias O.cott and Charlotte
Divoll Olcott; he was the last surviving
member of the Olcott branch of the family.
His nearest surviving relatives are two
uncles, J. L. and J. B. Divoll of Rocking
ham. On December 20, 1868, he was
married to Martha G. Davis of Rocking
ham, who survives him. There are no
children.
Mr.. Olcott was never actively engaged
in business; but always had considerable
property of his own and others to look
after. On several occasions he was hon
ored by his fellow citizens with important
trusts. In 1882 he was elected treasurer
of the town of Rockingham, which office
he continued to hold until 1898, when he
was succeeded by the present treasurer,
P. H. Hadley. On June %, 1886, he was
chosen custodian of the Campbell fund,
and was also custodian OF the library fund !;
he resigned both Of these Offices at the
town meeting in 1896. His official duties
were always performed with integrity and
ability and to the satisfaction Of his fellow
townsmen. Mr.. Olcott was favoraby
known throughout this section of Vermont
and New Hampshire, and the expressions
Of sympathy for Mrs. Olcott are many.
The funeral will be held this Wednesday
afternoon at the house on Atkinson street
at o'clock, the Rev. w. B. I. Smith
of Charlestown, N. H., officiating. The
burial will be in the Olcott lot in the
Episcopal cemetery. The bearers will be
James H. Williams, George A. Weston,
4. H. Allbee, George 0. Guild, H. d.
Ryder, Edward Arms.

Public Improvement.

The spirit of the age is irresistible.
The needs OF the travelling public and
commercial business passing through Sax
tons River village demand for their bene-
fit and convenience that a road be opened,
beginning at the termination of Main
street east, crossing the river to the old
road with long span iron bridge. Then
there would be nearly straight road and
strangers bound for Bellows Falls would
not have to stop and inquire the way.
The old bridge being condemned by the
highest authority, this would seem to be
the proper thing to do not only for this
but future generations. The new way
would shorten the distance and be much
easier to travel. The improvement Of
highways is now creating much attention
throughout the land. D. X.
