"The Heart of CHICAGO"

Considering the hot weather an UNI
usually large house greeted the Heart
of Chicago" at the Auditorium Tues
day evening.
The play was presented by a very
competent company and all of the parts
were well taken, but being melo-
drama chief interest centered in the
scenic effects, which were most of them
new to this town and all of them ad-
mirably presented. This is especially
true of the picture of the moving, on
rushing train, which was so well done
that the audience demanded several
curtain calls.
The play tells story of human in
terest, full of climaxes and bound to
fascinate spectators. 1t is put on the
boards in fine shape. The scenery
entire is beautifully Set, even lavishly,
and the managers have provided be-
change of scene.

OUR OWN HEATHEN.
Mrs. ouinten's Instructive Talk on
~ The Indians,

The address delivered at the union
meeting at the Congregational church
last Sunday by Mrs Amelia s. Quinton,
who came there under the auspices of
the Brattleboro Woman's Indian associ-
alton, was very notable and inter-
esting. Mrs. QuintOn is president of
the National Indian association, and
her labors for the past 25 years have
carried her into every state and terri
tory but one in the union. In clear
and simple style she gave an account
of the methods of the association and
the results accomplished. They take
under their care tribes who have no
one to care for them, sending them
missionaries and field matrons, to in
struct them not only in the gospel but
in the simple arts and industries of
life and in the making of civilized
homes. When the mission is firmly
established they give It over to the care
of whatever church Is willing to as
sumo the responsibility, and go on to
fresh elds.--Their- means being linn
tied they can support but two or three
missions at one time.
Mrs. Quinton told one touching little
story of a Mequi woman who for five
years has prayed to the Great Spirit
to send a missionary TO her little tribe,
and, though her prayer has not yet
been answered. continues firm in her
faith that some day 1t will be granted.
AT the suggestion of Rev. Miles an i'm
promptu collection amounting to $14
was contributed for this woman.
Mrs Quinton closed her address by
an eloquent appeal for help for these
heather, our own people, who are so
willing to lead higher lives if the way
is shown them.
Mrs. A. c. Davenport is president of
the local association, and Mrs. ]. M.
Tyler is secretary and treasurer. All
who may wish to join the association
may give their names to the secretary.

Brattleboro Commended.

The people of Brattleboro, through
the agency of the allied patriotic So
cieties, propose to erect a marker on
the old camp ground where the Yer
mont troops were mustered in during
the Civil war. Several monuments
on southern battlefields show where
many Vermont soldiers We're mus
tered out" and it is well that the be-
ginning of their road to a soldiers
death be likewise honored. And then
this act on the part of Brattleboro peo-
pie is continuation of a good work
that is well under way in Vermont. and
any act that furthers it is commend
able in Observation-Disclosures Journal.

Should be Enforced Everywhere.

Every school teacher, every parent,
should read with care the editorial of
The Brattleboro Reformer on THE
Taxation of School Children" printed
on another page of this paper. 1t
teaches a much needed lesson in plain.
but kindly manner, and the lesson
should not only be considered but put
in force in every school house in the
land. So far as the schools of this
city are concerned, it might well be
laid down as a positive rule that no
school teacher was to ask her pupils to
bring money to her for any purpose
whatever except with the approval of
the board of school commissioners

chambsrlain,s Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its good
qualities can be surprised at the great
popularity Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t not only cures colds and
grip ehectuaily and permanently, but
prevents these diseases from resulting in
pneumonia. 1t is also a certain cure
for Group. Whooping cough is not dan
gerous when this remedy is given. 1t
contains no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as confidently
to baby as to an adult. 1t is also
pleasant to take. When all of these
facts are taken into consideration it is
not surprising that people in foreign
lands as well as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
once used it. For sale by all druggists.
