EXCELSIOR UP TO DATE.

The shades of night were falling fast.
As UP Kathahdin's side there passed
Up that dark, dismal, rocky road,
A youth, whose cry was, as he strobe
Excelsior"
He passed a cabin low of logs,
Half hidden by woods and evening
fogs;
A maiden called to him to stop,
But he cried, still pointing to the top,
Excelsior"
A hunters camp he next passed by.
Come stop with us, the hunters cry,
We've lots to eat and lots to drink"
His answer was-what do you think?
Excelsior"
He sees the campers in the light
OF their great fire, burning bright;
But naught can stop him, naught can
stay.
He shouts. still holding on his way
Excelsior"
He crashes onward throuhg the brush;
The foxes scatter with a rush,
The woodchuck, frightened, seeks his
hole,
But still he shouts with all his SOUL
Excelsior"
At last It's reached, the summer hotel,
Half hidden in shady dell
Here we will rest him for the night,
To go on in the morning bright.
Excelsior"
He stood beside the hotel bed
He'd paid two dollars for, and said,
It's mighty hard to have to sleep
Upon mattress stuffed with cheap
Excelsior"

A telegram from Toledo, Ohio, says:

magnetic course of treatment for his

years ago Shade was sandbagged in

he sought a Toledo physician. For

is TO secure convention mdu6 up VI
delegates selected by the electors of a
political party. It requires the names
of the successful delegates to be certi-
fed by the county chairman, and only
those delegates, so certified, are the le-
gal representatives Of their respective
caucus districts, and entitled to vote at
the convention. To allow a delegate
so chosen to name proxy would de-
feat the purpose of the law. No pro-
vision is made whereby any committee
is authorized to name proxy.
Senate and assembly districts wholly
within the same county come within
the terms of the law both as to the
calling of the conventions and the
management Of the caucuses, and the
selection of delegates to conventions in
those districts must be governed by it's
provisions. In all such counties it IS
practicable for the county committee
to call all of the caucuses and name the
time and place of holding the conven-
tions. This is not practicable in SEN
ate and assembly districts composed of
two or more counties, or parts OF two
or more counties. Nc provision is
made for the united action of the coun-
| ty committee of adjoining counties;
hence both the calling of the caucuses
and the fixing Of the date and place OF
holding the conventions in such dis
tricts must be left to the respective
district committees. The manner of
conducting the caucus for the election
of delegates to these conventions is
governed by the law.

THE ELECTRIC ROAD.

Receiver Dyer Will Build a Mile More Very
Shortly.
Receiver Warren c. Dyer and Trustee
w. H. Allison of the electric line took a
"trip over the road today to inspect its
condition and equipment and make an
invoice of the companys assets. The
receiver had his private car hitched onto
a regular train and the entire line was
taken in by the party.
One of the first moves by the receiver
will, probably, be to negotiate loan to
carry on the business on pay you go
plan.
The receiver WILL probably, ask Judge
Boughton to authorize him to borrow
from $4,000 to $4,000 to extend the line,
building the mile required this year IN
order to hold the franchise. This will,
probably, be granted, as the most valu-
able asset of the corporation is its fran.
chise and the court will be so advised. 1t
is thought that the operating expenses
will not be greater to cover another mile
than under the present run and the re-.
ceiver will. probably, desire to move
early in the matter of building, as he
views extension urgent because of the
increased earning capacity it will give

extension of the line to distant and popu

made to pay when the annual harvest

Certain it is that the required mile might

outlay and the receiver will proceed 10

JEPHTHAH'S DAUGHTER.

The Operetta Finely Rendered at the Tenn.
pie Last Night.
Miss Berthe Berlin, under whose dlrec.
ton Jephthah's Daughter was given at
Temple hall last night, scored another
distinctive success. Miss Berlin's sing
ing as the daughter, also, added to her
we'll earned laurels. The movement of
the operetta was smooth from first to last
and the chorus was unusually strong.
Mr. Grant Safely had his soldiers we'll in
hand and they easily carried the kopje.
Mr. Safely's singing of Jephthah and his
acting left little to desire Indeed, he
easily divided honors with Miss Berlin,
who is, of course. Boulder's favorite par
excellence. One of the most effective
scenes was that between Mr. Austin and
Mrs Theo. Davis, where Mr. Austin car
ried the dying song sweetly and, in the
duet which followed, Mrs Davis rich
contralto was heard to excellent advan-
tage. The trio of Miss Berlin, Miss Gill
