in the strife. All ballots are to be dated
and must be deposited within seven
days of date or they will be declared
void, thus prohibiting the holding
back of ballots, and keeping all inform
ed of the progress of the contest. 1t
was also decided that no dealer or his
employees. would be permitted to de-
posit any ballots bearing his own
name. 1t is desired that the strife
shall be strictly impartial, and every

An Electrical Wonder.

To all lovers of the pure and unadul-
fterated classic drama treat is assured
in the coming of Lewis Morrison's
"Faust,n next Friday evening. This
will be the last opportunity local play
goers will have to witness this wOnd-
rous dramatization. Never in its his
tory has this romance been presented
In as effec i've and elaborate a manner
as this year. A complete new vest
ment Of magnificent scenery, electrical
effects, ingenious mechanisms and
handsome costumes have been given
this production, making it in fact an
entirely new "Faust." Among the
many innovations introduced special
attention has been devoted to the gar
den scene IN the second act, in which
there will be phenominal electrical
display. Myriads of irridescent glob-
ules are brought into requisition, max
ing an effect which stands without an
equal on the stage. The mechanical
and electrical establishment in the
weird Witches Brocken are conceded
to be marvels in ingenuity and effect
iveness. The scene Is nightly received
with storm of applause, which only
abates after the curtain is raised to dis
close this truly wonderful conception
of stage art. AS this engagement will
be the farewell one of Mr. Morrison's
Faust" in this city and as attractions
of this magnitude and merit are rare,
a packed house will undoubtedly re
ward this excellent production.

Hats OF, Ladies.

Oh, the mean, cruel things. OF all
days of the year OF, course the ministers
of the city had to choose Easter Sun
day to inaugurate the movement for
the removal of ladies' hats at church
services. Without the least regard for
the tender feelings of the dear ones,
and for the beautiful bonnets which
bedecked their heads, they bluntly de-
manded their removal on Easter
morning. We understand that mass
meeting Of ladies will be held in the
near future to determine upon a
method Of united revenge, and until
this develops it will be well for the
pastors to remain on guard. We fear
for the preachers, but let us hope that
no blood will he spilled, and that the
matter may be settled by arbitration.
