!. ga Gold Mine. /"

The local dramatic club held
ont two inducements to theatre
goers when they presented GA
Gold Nine last Thursday
night, and the result was a
crowded house, despite the mis-
cradle weather of the afternoon
and evening: The efforts of the
company i'll the past have COM
pared favorably with those of
travelling performers; and the
proceeds of the entertainment
were to be used in purchasing
books for the Coffee Club library.
Although lack of preparation
1narred to some extent the en-
joyment of the performance and
smothered the best efferts of the
players, the audience as whole
has well pleased with their in
vestment in "Gold Mile." "
The play has more real merit
than anything yet attempted by
the company; no prettier stage
setting has been seen here;
makeup and costuming could
not have been better, and the
music was excellent. These
things contribute at least one
half to the success of this form
of entertainment, and stock be-
gan going up with the rise OF
the curtain.
AS the play progressed, the
brightness of the lines, smooth
ness of incidents and interest oi
the plot held the attention of the
audience, and the nice concep-
4tion of the various role and at
times exceptionally clever bits OF
acting, atone Gor an occasional
twisting Of a cue, or tardy en-
trance. The local players de-
serve to be classed with the pro-
fessional companies which ap-
pear in the smaller cities, and
their work is necessarily sub
jected to as severe criticism.
One feature of the evening
that cannot be too highly com-
mended, was the numbers rem
dered by the band. This organ
ization is rapidly becoming one
Of the best in the state, and no
better program has been heard
in the Opera House this season
than the one given by them
Thursday evening.

Mysterious Mortality Among Horses.
People living in the vicinity of Guth-

lately in manner that is entirely

on Mr.. J. R. Lindsay's place, all with
more or less suddenness and generally
during the night. Mr.. Wade II. Hick-
lin lost fine mule u few nights ago in
the same manner, and telephone
message of Thursday reported that
Mr.. Robert Witherspoon had two very
sick mules on his hand. The stomach
of one of tbs dead animals was an
alyzed by DR.. Hanaban on the theory
that it may have been poisoned; but
the doctor was unable to find anything
that seemed to corroborate the theory.

PROPOSED NEW CHARTER.

In another column the town council
of Yorkville gives notice of an election
to be held on Friday, May II, on the
question of surrendering the present
charter of the town and accepting a
charter under the general incorporation
act.
In the ordinary course of events, the
present charter will expire with the
adjournment of the next session of the
general assembly, and upon that de-
velopment it will be necessary to either
accept the charter provided under the
general incorporation act, or try to get
along as an unincorporated community.
This latter alternative, however, is not
to be considered.
The principal material differences
between the present charter and the
general incorporation act are that,
while the present charter, as amended,
limits the municipal taxation to 8
mills, the limit in the proposed charter
extends to 10 mills and while the
present charter provides for govern
ment by an intendant and four war
dens serving one year, the general in
corporation act provides for govern
ment by a mayor and six aldermen
elected for period of two years.
Under the general incorporation act,
as originally passed, municipality
accepting it at all, had to accept it in
its entirety. The act was drawn to
fit all towns, and the ten-mill limit of
taxation was included so as to provide
for the cases of municipalities in which
the tax limit had reached exceptional
proportions. The act has not been
materially amended since it became q
law; but the general assembly has
provided means whereby the people
of any given municipality may amend
it at will to suit local conditions. 1t
will be remembered that the people of
Yorkville made use of this provision
some weeks ago when they amended
the present charter so as to permit the
levy of three mill instead of two
mill tax.
In view of the fact that in the no
distant past there has been some very
ill.considered management of the
towns finances, it is not unreasonable
to assume that such conditions may
arise again. 1t will be wisdom, there
fore, for the people of Yorkville to take
necessary precautions now while the
matter is up. The ten mill limit of
taxation is by far too high for the
present needs of the town of York
vile. In our opinion, under the act
referred to, the proposition now being
submitted by the town council can be
submitted with an amendment fixing
the tax limit at say five mills. If in
no other way, it can certainly be done
on petition of freeholders and by
majority of the qualified voters. 1t
might be we'll for the citizens of the
town to hold a mass meeting on the
subject before taking final action. At
all events it will be we'll enough for
the voters to deal with this matter
with due caution.
