LET MEMBERS BE PROMPT.

The organization Of the Brunswick
Lyceum has been effected, thanks to
the persistent efforts of the few citi-
zenS who took an active interest in
thu plan. By promptly coming up
with their annual dues, the members
can now do their part Of the work.
Then, all will be over except the en-
tertainments, and the public can en-
joy itself, despite the absence of an
opera house.
Although the officers are elected,
and are determined to do all they can
toward carry ing out the purposes of
organization, its success is not yet as
sured; and cannot be until the funds
are in thu hands Of the treasurer. The
board of directors cannot make ar
rangements for the coming Of enter
tainers, unless they are insured against
personal liability by the fact that there
is money in the treasury to pay for the
entertainments. 1t is therefore neces-
sary that all members promptly pay IN
their dues.
The list of attractions from which
the association has the privilege Of
choosing, isa very enticing one, and
some of the best entertainers Of the
country can be brought to Brunswick
IL the lyceum succeeds in its purposes.
1t is too near success now to furnish
any excuse for it's abandonment.

THE "Goo Coos" should particular
ize. Reforms are not brought about
by generalities aud innuendoes. If
any member of the present admins
tration is corrupt in the discharge of
his public duties, let the charges, In
detail, be made public, and sworn to
by reputable witnesses. That is the
only way TO effect reform. Sensible
people pay no attention to omnibus
attacks, that make no specific allega-
tons.

FOUGHT WITH SPIDERS.
st. Louis Grocery Clerk Was Badly Bitten
by the Insects.


by the Insects.
John Held, clerk for the J. A. Pat
ton Grocery company, had an exciting
adventure with three gigantic spiders
Friday morning and as result his face
is swollen to nearly twice it's natural
size.
Held repaired to a wash basin in the
cellar of the store to perform his morn
ing additions While busily engaged
scrubbing his face three large spiders
made their appearance from an aperture
in the wall just above him. Held, on
looking up, saw the insects, but thought
nothing about them, as spiders were
common in the cellar.
Suddenly one of the insects sprang d.
rectly in Held's face. Before he could
recover the other two followed the lead
er. Held fought the insects off, but not
until he was severely bitten number
of times. He killed one of the spiders
The other two escaped. Held's wounds
were dressed at the dispensary. -Cleve-

a LIFE TURNED AWRY.

The pathetic exit of Scott Thornton
from the stage Of life points the moral
that many a man is damned With faint
praise. Thornton was no actor, had
none of tie characteristics of the
actor except personal appearance. He
looked like one, and finally came to
the belief that he was one, and a good
one.
The newspapers and chronic "guys"
made much of his pretensions, and, by
insincere adulation, goC the ambitious
Scott to thinking that he was a rival
of the great ones of the stage. His
every appearance on the boards was
the 6 ,saal rc~ more or less disgraceful
proceedings by the audience, and
showers of vegetables, eggs and other
improvised missiles descended upon
the person of the hapless imitator of
Booth.
But the newspapers continued to
make Scott believe that he was
great actor, and he persisted in
his efforts to win recognition of the
talents that he sincerely thought were
his. Thus was his life made laugh
ing-stook, and a miserable failure. If
he had not fallen a victim to the faint
praise of testing associates, he might
have been a success in some other
field of labor.

 Skirts arc seen arranged to open over panels or plaited fans at the side. Another way of securing variety Is to button the tablier down to the body of the skirt ly paste steel or other decorative buttons.

 Charley Wheeler aud Lucille Sprock- ett had been married nearly three weeks. md they had just returned from theiF wedding trip, They were supremely happy In each others love, and tho honeymoon so far bad been to them as one long, blissful dream. Within the next day or two however. tho brids grow slightly depressed in spirits, and an uneasy feeling seemed to take pos. session of her, The young husband no. ticed the change, but attributed it to fatigue from the recent travels But his bride grew moro nervous and took oa such troubled expression that he said to her:
 You have something on your mind, darling, that is troubling you Tell me what it is. "
 At first sho tried to persuade him Chat he was mistaken. that nothing worried her
 You are wrong, Charley, dear. she would say. Really, am not wor- rying over anything. I am just as happy as l can be- "
 The day following, however, the young wife wore such troubled look that her husband said to her:
 Lucille, you must toll me what is troubling you. I will not be put off any longer As your husband I haye right to know.
 Seeing that further oonceaIrnent was impossible, she broke down and sobbed bitterly:

Reciprocity Wiln oaiadn.


 It is certain that trade reciprocity treaty with our neighbor to the north is desirable--necessary in fact. This is especially so in view of tho intimate TO- lations that will arise between the two countries i'll consequence of the recent tremendous gold discoveries both ill Alaska and in the British Northwest Territories. There will be constant pass ing and repassing tho borders of both countries by miners with their packs and business men and manufacturers with their outfits. Goods purchased across the border in either nation will be scanned with tho closest scrutiny, and if the customs official is at all in- clined to be il natured they will be taxed to the utmost. Already there arc grievous complaints from American miners who have crossed into British territory on the way to the Klondike with outfits purchased this side of the line. Ill some cases these outfits have been taxed so heavily that 1t was cheap CT to throw them away than to pay the heavy duty, Complaints similar in character have also como from Ganadi- an miners and business men who had occasion to cross into Alaska.
 The utmost courtesy and good nature, spirit of entire willingness on the part of each nation to give as good ndvan- tages as it receives. will Do necessary to frame a reciprocity agreement that will bear evenly on all. The worst obstacle ill the way of such reciprocal trade agreement is the warning of petty local interests both sides of the line. These should be ignored ill tho framing of tho treaty and the good of tho whole eoun- try considered. It is not a case where one party to the treaty must or wishes to gain an advantage over the other It is n oase for an arrangement mutually profitable to both. h this light let our congress and the Canadian parliament regard it.

 One day soon after Lincoln's call foz 800. 900 moro men, Irving, then young man, was on his way to Defiance, O., from Fort Wayne for the purpose of singing at political and loyal meeting He had considerable reputation as a composer and singer and the Republic ans had asked him to come and help them On the way he read the poem, which had just been published. Irving studied it, formulated tune, hummed it and got the rhythm, and that even ing at the Defiance meeting he sang the song for the first time. When he had finished. and the last echoes had died away, men mounted their chairs with wild enthusiasm, swung their hats and broke loose in cheers that rang with feeling. He sang 1t again and again. and they would scarcely let him rest
 The next night he sang tho song at Fort Wayne, and again aroused the same enthusiasm. He wrote out the music and sent 1t to the publisher who had handled what he had composed. with instructions to publish it on his usual terms of royalty. It was publish ed, and inside of month more than 40, eco copies had leen seld In few days the lullish,r failed and Irving never receivtd . aeilsr Tor tie music - l New Yur,i sun

They Kept Quiet Until the Professor
 Struck the Loud Notes.
 The piano was an old grand It had not been used for months. The compa- ny had arrived ill town but a short time before the performance began i; hence there had been no time to test the instrument Nevertheless, the profess or boldly opened wide the lids of the long unused grand and then sat down to tho keys The first touch convinced him that tLe notes were still clear and strong, and that whatever defects in tune there might be would be very slight, so he began the soul inspiring selection.
 Now, it happened that in all the months in which the piano had remain cd unused colony of yellow jacket wasps had industriously built them selves home i'll the shape of nest US fargo as u good sized saucer The soft pianissimo prelude to the selection gem tly woke the wasps from their sweet dreams. But when the soft pedal was released and the notes grew vigorous and the piano began to reverberate to the heavier passages the disturbed wasps suspected danger. They curled their backs and stretched and shook their gauzy wings vieiously. The profess or, unheedful of the fact that tho nsu- sic. far from soothing the savage breast of the vicious wasps ambushed within that piano, was rousing their ire, play ed on. From pianissimo to piano and 1 from piano with one bound to fortissi- mo the composition ran. All the while tho wasps futtered their wings wicked l Iy viciously, and all the while the pro- lessor played. Now came the climax; now he was throwing together vast 1 handfuls of notes i'll the basse profpnde region of tho instrument. Just as the grand was belehing forth from its inner most soul the musical thunder of that great Wagnerian opera the vengeance hunting army of yellow jacket wasps swept out of the instrument. with 8 buzzing war song, down the hallway and upon the audience Suddenly soul rending shrieks resoundod through the hall. Men and women were striking about their heads, benches were upset. and general stampede for WlndoWs and doors ensued. Over the terrible up- roar a shrill, piping voice could be heard shrieking;
