y lone individual with Il suspicious
brogue to his voice was taken into
the police station Saturday night
and when he was landed in the glare
of the electric light the officers
thought they had landed one of their
own kin. Dressed in the full uniform
of a policeman the man with a Moline
accent to his voice had all the appear
ance of one of the blue coated cop
pers who walk the streets. He gave
the name of John Leasure. Leasure
did a special police stunt during the
strike a few weeks ago in Moline
and he has been working a graft on
that set of blues and that star ever
since Saturday night he came to
Davenport and on the strength of
the star thought that the East End
should open wide its doors and re-
ceive him with open arms. Some
one objected, however. and then
LeaSure tried to assert the authority
that he had not. 4 policeman was
called and after he was taken to the
5 alton it did not take long to prove
him the biggest kind of faEir. He is
now in the city Jail.
Memorial services given by the To-
cal lodge of Elks were held at the
Burtis opera house yesterday after
noon. The exercises were held in
memoriam of Hon. julius fischer.
L. J. S. Greene, Oscar c. Koehler,

"County Fair" Tonioht,

When Neil burgess conceived the
clever idea of having about Is minute $
of biograph pictures introduced to tell
a part of the story of the new County
Fair" the order was given to spare no
expense and to get a set of films from
several county fairs in various States.
Those taken at Chatham, N. Y, proved
the best, giving a better variety of
sights and more comprehensive view
of what a fair of this kind is like.
The County Fair" will be seen tonight.
The most marvellous thing about this
play is that no matter how many times
it comes, every year it is actually fun
nier than it ever was before; one rea-
son of this is, it is County Fair and
like all Fairs it takes everything that
is interesting. Now the managers take
the audience over the entire fair
ground. We see the various games on
the grounds, the prize cattle, horses
and livestock, the floral parade, the
prize winners, in fact the grand pro-
cession is headed by full brass band,
besides the County Fair Comedy Com
pany, they have a second Company for
the Fair scene alone.-Jhe Dixon, Bow
crs & Dixon Vaudeville Company, who
stand at the head of their profession
now MAKE the Fair scene the hottest
snow on earth. New electrical effects

ing one of the severest snow storms ever
experienced in eastern Maine. They
tracked two deer which separated and
the hunters parted company.
Late in the day, Witham reached
Franklin and when Goodell did not re-
turn home, Sunday, a party was Or
ganized to look for him, the search be-
ing continued, today. Just before noon
the body was found partially covered

the Center Of the Earth"

Everybody who likes comedy of the
cleanest. jolliest sort got his moneys
worth at the performance given at the
Opera house, last night. Through the
Center OF the Earth is one of the most
ridicuously funny things to be seen on
the stage and that it was we'll appre-
ciated, last night. was evinced by the
roars of laughter which greeted it
almost continually. The scenery of
the company was excellent and the
costumes were in keeping with the
rest. The second act, especially, was
spectacular as well as funny. Reuben
Glue was, perhaps, the particular star
of the evening, and Professor Portly
was not far behind him. while Miss
Blondell as Gussie Portly did her part
for the ladies. Mr.. Blondelrs vaude-
Williams made the show livelier ana
brighter than it otherwise would have
been, and added much to the enjoy
ment of the audience.

THE sHIPBUILDING OUTLOOK
At Bath Has Never Been Better Thar
at Present Time.

Bath, Me-, Nov. 9.-The shipbuilding
outlook here never appeared better
than at present, and there is a posi-
bility that two new concerns will start
work in this industry. w. H. Reed Of
Jonesport, who is looking for a suitable
lacation in this city, has the contracts
fOr two wooden schooners for New
York parties, one to be a SiX-naster
and the other a fOur-master. The for
mcr will have q keel 80 feet long and
viii be about $500 tons burden, while
the other viii measure 100 feet on keel
and will be of about 1900 tons.
1t is rumored that Elwell s. Crosby,
who is building a schooner in the Pal
mer yard, will move to the old Hough-
ton yard as soon as the vessel he is
now building is launched 1t is also
reported that Nathaniel T. Palmer and
Frank Palmer are to build a vessel at
their yard.
Two new vessel contracts have been
given this week. The New England
Co. will build a four-masted schooner
les feet long and of about zoe tons for
5. b. Marts. Jr.. of Baltimore, while
fIldnk .. IoHNeNT Oh fHlppSDufS Zen :
ter has contracted to build a three
masted schooner of 500 tons for the
South Gardiner Lumber Co.
The Popham Beach division of the
Eastern Steamship Co. was, Saturday.
purchased by a syndicate of we'll
known Bath merchants and residents
along the line of the division. The new
company will continue to run the
steamer Winter Harbor on this route
for the present although it is under
stood that a new and much larger one
will be built for next years business. 1t
is understood that the purchase price
about $35O0. A new landing is to be
built at Parl<ers Head
a great change is soon to be brought
about along the river front owing to
the purchase of the wharf property of
the Knickerbocller Towage Co. by the
Eastern Steamship Co. This latter
concern, having purchased the formers
property on Commercial street, will
make it the headquarters for the island
branch of steamers, and abandon the
Old landing at the foot of Broad street.
The new location is next to the wharf
used by the Boston boats on which is
located the office of the general eastern
agent. The Knickerbocker ToWage Co.
will remove its Office to the foot of
Broad street, and will tie up it's boats
at the Moulton wharf.

Miss Bertha Dennis and William Evans
were married in Dover last Wednesday.
The wedding was quite a surprise to
many and an unexpected event to friends
Of both parties, and even to the partici-
pants Themselves, and it was nearly a
case of "straw-drawing" by the rivals,
to see which one was entitled to her
hand Miss Dennis spent Wednesday
with George Hall at Milford, and he ex-
pected to wed her at o'clock the same
evening. The two suitors met at the
brides home Tuesday evening, but were
kept apart by the young lady for some
time; but finally faced each other and
nearly came to blows. Each has threat
ened the life Of the other.
MIR. Hall is a contractor and builder
and has been devoted to Miss Dennis
for sometime Miss Dennis is very
pretty, stylish brunette and about Is
years of age and recent graduate Of
the Dover High School. Mr. Evans is
about 20 years old and is employed in
a clothing store.-Er.
