Old Orchards Scenic Railway.

Since the last Excursion to Old
Orchard there has been opened a new
Feature of entertainment which prom
Uses to be the most attractive yet Of
fered. This is what is called the Old
Orchard Scenic Railway, located in
Seaside park. just back of the Boston
& Maine station. The trip is mad"
comfortable in luXuriously uphOl-
stored car and on starting a trestle-
work of hills and tunnels bursts upon
the pleasure seeker, and after running
down a steep incline the cars are pulled
UP the huge hill to the highest point
of the trestle. The cars soon enter n
long tunnel which is suddenly trans
| formed by 100 electric lights. and mir
rors on all sides form an illusion de-
vice, the effect of which is better eX-
perienced than explained. A stage
| scene depicting the wonders under the
sea, mermaids and fish, and this scene
| is transformed into a beautiful grotto
in the rocks of which stand forth grue-
4 some looking skeletons with pitchforks
| in their hands, worthy subjects of his
satanic majesty. At this point the car
is obstructed by huge dragon and in
to his mouth the car is plunged; dark
ness covers all for a moment before
the exit to the tunnel is reached.
This novel railway has just beer
completed at a cost of $4,000. and
trip over il is well worth many time:
the fare of 10 cents. and the Main;
Central excursion advertised for mex
Sunday gives an opportunity to wit
ness this.

May l ask that local committees be
decided upon, submitting to me by wire
at the earliest practicable moment j

In framing a program it is important
that the following points be fully
observation-disclosures will not be made
earlier than 100 A. NJ, or later than
s P M. Committees will be received
only at the place they represent. Local
committees should be limited in num-
Der as far as practicable. No recep-
tons of any sort will be held, drives
being substituted for them whenever
practicable. Public meetings should
be non partisan in character; the itir-
erary and the time allowance for each
point must be adhered to absolutely,
and stops can only be made at principal

Mrs. Henriette G. Olberg, superinten-
dent Flax and Hemp Exhibition at the
Omaha Exhibition, writes from Albert
Lea, MIMI, as follows:
"This spring I contracted an agra.
waiting cold, having been exposed to the
damp weather. Catarrh of my throat
and head followed, which persisted In
remaining, notwithstanding I applied
tho usual remedies.
Reading Of the merits Of Peruna in
the papers, I decided to try it and soon
found that all that has been said Of your
medicine in such cases is true.
81 am very pleased with the satisfac-
tory results obtained from using Peruna,
am entirely well, and consider it most
valuable family medicine"
HENRIETTE G. OLBERG.
Summer colds require prompt treat
ment They are always grave, and
sometimes dangerous. The prompt
ness and surety with which Peruna
acts In these cases has saved many
lives. A large dose Of Peruna should
be taken ut the first appearance Of cold
In summer, followed by small and Oft
repeated doses. There is no other rem
edy that medical science can furnish, SO
reliable and quick in its action as Peruna.

pany, Columbus, Ohio, for free book

treats Of the catarrhal diseases peculiar

The Kennebcc Light and Heat Com
pany has a crew of men at work
changing the arrangements for light
ing the Capitol by electricity. Here
tofore the main wire entered the build
ing at the top. In the attic were five
transformers. and wires ran from
these to various parts of the building.
1t was thought that, although great
care was always taken to prevent acct
dents. there was more or less danger
of fire resulting therefrom. Col.
Stevens has therefore had the fire
transformers removed from the attic
and a large 1000 volt transformer
established under the stone steps lead
ing to the north entrance of the build
ing. This place is entirely surrounded
by stone and danger of fire is prac-
tically impossible. An underground
conduit has been laid from this place
to the companys trunk wire on Capitol
street and through this conduit are two
lead cables which carry the power to
the transformer and from there it is
transmitted to a marble distributing
board and from thence to different
parts of the building. None of the
wires in the building. now carry more
than so volts and are comparatively
| harmless.
In the Senate lobby a switch board
controls the House and Senate lights
and adjoining this board will be an
| other which will control all the fuses
| in the north wing of the Capitol, as
al of them will be consolidated there
instead of being scattered as they now
are If a fuse blows out there will be
no danger of fire resulting. Similar
arrangements in the south wing con-
| troll the lights and fuses there.
The fire alarm wire will also be put
under ground, and there will in future
be no wires entering the outside of the
| building except the telephone and tele-
| graph wires, and these may later be
| put under ground. There will be nc
| poles on the grounds. The ones now
in the rear of the building, which has
been used as a feed pole, will be re-
| moved and a large arc light raised al
the entrance to the grounds on Caplto
! street.

CITY TAXES
They Have Fallen Short This Year
as Compared With Last.
The Collections About cas-, 900 This
Month-Ircrease In Poll Tax.

CITY Treasurer Kraus IL enjoying
something of rush ct the city hall in
collecting city taxes, but the amount
thus far is not more than half Of what
it was the same time last year, before
the penalty went into effect.
Monday $6,364 was collected, and
yesterday 5000. 10. Thus far there
has been collected in June about sa5,-
600, as against $4,000 collected last
year during June. While only about
half the amount paid during the same
month last year has been paid thus
far, Treasurer Kraus believes that tho
amount will by Saturday night equal
$50. 900.
The poll taxes paid amount to s61s,
more than for the same time last year.
The people seem to be slow in pay
ing this year, one reason being be-
cause the tax rate is si.s5, and they
don't want to pay, and another be.
cause many are not able to pay the ex-
cessive rate.
