Let Us Be
Your TaiIOrS

If garments we make for you
7: are not absolutely satisfac-
tory, we are here for you to
"kick at" We do "Custom
Work" only. We give all
garments the attention they
need to make them hang
well and retain their shape.
Sewing" as VIC sew, never
rips. We try on our gar
ments before making them
up. THEY MUST FIT,
AND DO FIT. Our prices
are lower than those of the
so-called wholesale Tall
orsn because our expenses
are lower, and we save the
agents profit.
We want you to compare our
I goods with the cheap shoddy
stuff you get by ordering
from the smooth toDgued
travelling fakir who takes
your measure in about the
same way he would measure
off a cord of walnut logs.
The goods YOU receive are
generally factory made, but
with a few alterations, such
as re.pressing and working
the button holes over, ETC.,
appear TO be the right ar
ticle, but fit you about as
perfectly as they would your
little brother or you cadav-
erous Uncle William. We
Y guarantee Fit and Quality.

O.V. Hooker & Son are making some
extensive improvements on their plant

They are now engaged upon the inn
provements at the o. V. Hooker & Sons
plant having put in an iron penstock con-
structed entirely of old boilers. The
company are building several machines
for the Lyndon Pulp Co. The members
of the firm are all men of long experience
in their line and their constantly increas-

already here ready to be placed when

Thursdays Concert.

What promises to be one of the choic-
est concerts of the season comes in Music
Hall this week Thursday evening and is
the opening entertainment in the Star
course. The Royal Tyrolean Concert
troupe consists Of twelve artists from two
of the finest foreign speciality companies,
the Meier family and the Murzthaers.
These natives of the Tyrol are all musi-
clans of established reputation and they
will appear on the stage in the pictur-
esuue mountain costume and use during
the evening a number of instruments.
One of the most striking features of the
concert will be the charming performance
on the crystal orchestra, an instrument
consisting OF 70 glasses and the only one
of it's kind in the world. Tickets for this
choice concert may be obtained at
Binghams and Stiles drug stores or at
the door. The following press comments
from foreign papers will give an idea of
the high class music this company pro-
duces:
"The either or mountain harp, is a
clever combination of different instru.
ments, and when played from the hands
of such master as Herr and Frau Meier,
the lover of music is surprised by the
soul-stirring, impressive effects pro-
duced. - London Times.
THE charming performance on the
Crystal Orchestra cannot be described or
imagined; the sound falls gently on the
senses, as if divinely produced and pro-
ceeding from etherealized bells. The in
strument consists of seventy glasses, and
we understand that this is the only per-
feet Crystal Orchestra in existence, as
crystal glasses only, independent of any
other instrument or accompaniment" y
sheffield Independent.
Last evening the famous Alpine
Troupe, Murzthaler, made their first ap-
pearance in the Philharmonic Concert
Room, before crowded audience; every
number in their original and varied pro-
gramme was encored, some items even
got two recalls. Their is no doubt their
visit will be a success. Not only the
choruses, are perfect, but the soprano,
alto and bass solos are equally artistic
ally rendered. Herr Godez is master OF
the ETHER besides being most able ar
ranger and leader. This troupe is one OF
the best we have had for some time, if
not the best. Their original dances are
also we'll appreciated. - Stettiner

Open Season for Deer.

The last ten days of this month are
by law the open season for hunting deer
in Vermont and for the next week there
will be good many killed, especially in
Essex, Rutland and Windsor counties.
Commissioner Titcomb will try and
keep a record of the number of deer
killed and has asked all the postmasters
in the state to cooperate with him and
report the number killed, Last year 80
were officially reported to the commits
sioners, but it is probable that the total
number killed was around $50.
Commissioner Titcomb has received
one report of deer being killed in the
town of Peacham. Our Sheffield CORES
pondent reports that a moose was seer
in that town last Friday by the stage
driver.
