Soldiers Memorial,

The Dane County Board determined
at the January session to submit to the
electors Of Dane county, at the April
election, the question Of appropriating
to the Soldiers Memorial Association of
that county the sum of Five Thousand
Dollars for the purpose of assisting it in
building Memorial Hall on the lot al
ready secured for that purpose. To per-
petuate the name and memory to future
generations of that brave little band of
over six hundred heroic young men, who
from every town in that county, went
forth to do battle for their country in
the war of the rebellion, and never re-
turned to the loved ones left behind,
whose blood moistened nearly every bat
tlefield of the war, and whose devotion
and loyalty furnish such glorious ex-
ample to succeeding generations, shall
their names be forgotten? 1t is now
nearly forty years since they offered up
their lives on our country's altar as
sacrifice to freedom, and yet not one dol
lar has ever been appropriated by Dane
county to rescue their names from OBJ
livion. Shall this neglect continue?
Surely you will say it shall not. Then
in the name of your patriotic loyalty we
make this last appeal, vote for it, work
for it, and do all you can to induce others
to vote for the appropriation. Every
town, city and village has it's dead in the
long list and is interested in this matter.
It is mere trife that is asked for, about
seven cents on $1,000 valuation. We
cannot believe the people will refuse it.
You need have no fears that the money
will be used to pay salaries, per diem or.
perquisites of any kind. The Associa-
ton is chartered by the state with COM
plete set of officers, board of trustees,
and our treasurer is under $4,000 bonds
for the proper care of all moneys of the
Association.

Mr. John Wilson died Sunday at his

stomach troubles pertaining mostly to-

longed.
A burglary was made Sunday night at
the wagon factory of j W Morgan & Co.
The thieves gained entrance into the
building through window, scattered a
few tools around, and finding the safe
unlocked attempted to force the cash
drawer inside, but failed for some rea-
son. Nothing valuable has been missed
and the job looks more like novices in
that line of work, possibly some dime
novel hero.

"AIice of Old Vincennes."

The colonial play, "Alice of Old Vim
cennes," will be the attraction at the
Opera House on Thursday evening,
April .. The tour of Gertrude Coghlan
in this play has been marked by the
most flattering appreciation and APP
plause from both critics and audiences,
and her personal popularity has in
creased to remarkable degree, al
though she has been great favorite
ever since she made her first starring
tour. OF the play itself it is necessary
only to say that it is generally conced-
ed to be the best of the dramatized
novels, and the adapter has succeeded
remarkably well in retaining the at
mosphere and favor OF the original
story. All of the scenic suggestions of
the book have been utilized as far as
it was mechanically possible to do SO.
The advance sale of seats will begin
Tuesday, March 81, at 10 A. M.

ferson Theatre, Portland, Wednesday
evening, and was witnessed by large
and distinguished audience. The
Portland papers are unanimous in
their praise of the play which was
deliberately staged and of the splendid
company which presented it. OF Mrs
LeMoyne's acting the Argus says: 1T
was superb in it's perfect assurance
and artistic quality. Mrs. LeMoyne is
perhaps the most intellectual actress
on the contemporary American stage,
and her intellect tells in the minu-
tiae as we'll as in the broad effects
of her acting. Merely to listen to
Mrs. LeMoyne's elocution is a liberal
education in the art ofsrefined speech.
1t was all stimulating and delightful in
high degree. AS a society woman
Mrs. LeMoyne appeared to the manner
born, and her splendid gowns served
but to set off her mate elegance of

PRELIMINARY SURVEY,
Maine Central Engineers Studying Au-
eusta's Grade Crossing Problem.

Assistant Engineer Boothby and
two assistants from the Portland
offices are here for a few days making
a preliminary survey for the railroad
tunnel which will doubtless be con-
structed here at some future time in
order to avoid the numerous and dan
gerous grade crossings which now ex-
list in this city. Their survey begins
at point below the Rines hill cross
ing and contemplates cutting through
the hill so as to avoid the grade cross
ings at Rines Hill, Court street, Win
thrOp street and Bridge street. L.
such tunnel is ever built, it will
mean the destruction of numerous
buildings and a vast amount of ex-
cavation. The cost would be enormous
and it is to get a rough estimate of
this expense, rather than because any
definite plans are on foot, that the
present survey is being made. Mr..
Boothby says that the present survey
will occupy only few days and that
it is very superficial in character.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Three Musketeers."

In the presentation of Dumas immor-
tai Three Musketeers," last evening,
the Rentfrow Company did the most
finished piece of work yet seen during
its stay here. The different roles were
filled with spirit and intelligence, and
the historically accurate settings and
costumes added much to the pleasing
effect. There was a good crowd pros
ent and the generous applause showed
its appreciation of the creditable work
on the stage. On account of the length
of the play the specialties were omit
ted. The great comedy "Hooligans
Luck" will be given, tonight, and dig
attendance is assured.

"Way Down East"

There are many things to take into
reckoning when accounting for the
tremendous vogue of iF"Way Down
East" which will be at the Opera
House, Tuesday evening, March 81.
The simplicity and the directness Of
the story appeal to everybody, the
broad fun of the inimitable Hi Holler
and the comedy of the other characters
the wonderful stimulation of the biz
Zard, the strength of the company, and
the power of the third act scene;
these things in some measure will tell
why Way Down East" fills the
theatres season after season. Added
to this is the fact that the cast is
kept up to it's original standard of eX-
cellence, while he production is made
more elaborate each succeeding sea-
son. The seat sale will open Satur-
day, March rs, at 10 A. M.

New Train nules Cause Trouble.

Augusta people who have had occa-
sion to travel on the Boston & Maine
of late report that the conductors and
brakenen are having more or less
trouble in enforcing the rule recently
inaugurated to the effect that passen-
gers must not put their feet on the
seat cushions. Passengers, especially
in smokers and always on night trains,
have been accustomed to take the trip
in as easy a manner as possible, put
ting their feet on the cushions of the
seat ahead of them. The new orders
prohibit this, and the brakeman calls
attention to it. thus: mo more feet on
the cushions, not even if you place a
paper over the cushion Another rule
says: mo dress-suit cases or heavy
bags in the overhead racks" Neither
are suit cases and bags allowed along
the aisles. If they cannot be placed in
that small space in front of the seat
they must be checked or sent by ex-
press.
Much feeling upon the part of the
travelling public has been occasioned
by this rule. On one train a man re-
fused to remove his feet or to give any
name, and according to the conductor
of this train, that official was power
less to enforce his rule, no penalty be-
ing attached to such a, case.
Into a smoker of another train came
a crowd of students. Twelve dress
suit cases were placed in the racks and
the conductor and brakemen together
were unable to get one of them re-
moved.
Undoubtedly, some regulation to en-
able conductors to enforce these orders
will be issued before long and the
travelling public is wondering if an ar
rest will be made for violation of the
rule. =

1t must be a strange malady which af-
fects 90 per cent. of the population of a
single community. Yet careful statistics
prove this to be the local situation.
DO you know what perfect health demands
at least one full, natural movement of the
bowels every day? Do you know that if
you are not regular in this respect that
you are counting disease. that you are lay
ing the foundation for fever, rheumatism,
blood disorders, dyspepsia, and dozen
other equally as dangerous conditions?
What do you do for constipation? What
do you do to establish absolute regularity
of bowel action? Can you not see the dan
ger of neglect? One of the greatest
sources of danger in cases of constipation
is recourse to powerful purgatives, as cal

Charles G. Blanchard who gives such
an excellent character study of "Rube
Whipple,' the village constable in
Way Down East" which will be at the
Opera House, next Tuesday, is well
known in this vicinity, having been q
draughtsman in the Maine Central
railroad shops at Waterville. Mr..
Blanchard always had a leaning toward
things dramatic, and at the time he
finally decided to adopt the stage as a
profession, had n more than local rep
utation as an amateur actor. Mr.
Blanchard has met with great success
on the stage, and has been all over
the Keith circuit in vaudeville, and
played in some of the best stock COM
ranies on the road in leading Juvenile
and character parts. He was with
James Hearne for some time, and also
put in two seasons with Richard Col
den in Jed Prouty." His greatest
hit, however, has been as "Rube Whip
pie" a part which he has played the
past two seasons.
