HAD GOOD CROWD
Opening Engagement For the Fannie Wood
Company Monday Night,

The Fannie Wood company made
its first appearance in Library Hall
last evening and well deserved the
large audience which greeted it.
The play presented was the four act,
''The Victims of Fate" and all the
parts were taken in an able manner.
Lester A. Davis played the role of
Percy O'Neil and Fannie Wood that
OF Chick.
The specialties were excellent especi-
ally Miss Wood in songs and dances
and Harry Sargent in Irish songs and
sayings.
The play for tonight is "The Old
Vermont Home" one which is sure to
please every one. Miss Wood in ag-
propriate costume will sing "Blue
Bell"
Judging from it's first appearance
this company should receive hearty
support during the remainder of the
week

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. >. 49, The
assassin of Won Plehve. the cars min
lister of the interior, is dead He made
no disclosures before dying. The assas-
sin was badly injured by the bomb
with which he killed Won Plehve and
succumbed to the effects of his
wounds. In spite of the fact that the
police say the plot which resulted in
the assassination of Won Plehve dis
tinctly placed the emperor as ''unin-
volved" many extra precautions have
been taken to insure his majesty's
safety. His personal guard has been
tripled. NJ. Witte, president of the
council of ministers, has arrived in st.
Petersburg from Berlin. 1t is generally
believed that he will accept the posi-
ton made vacant by the death of Won
Plehve.

HORSE LOST HIS NERVE.
Could Not Stand It To See Nick Drawing the
Wagon.

Electrician w. II. Nichols had quite
an experience with a balky horse re-
Gently. While driving to Bennington
Center the horse grew suddenly tired
and refused to travel.
Nick tried every known and unknown
means to prevail on the obstinate
beast to start but to no purpose.
First grass, then sugar, whips etc,
and no lady from Philadelphia being
present, Mr. Nichols then drew the
wagon up the hill, the horse mean
while resting by the way side, unhar-
messed from the wagon.
But gentle ways succeeded, the horse
could not endure to see its kind friend
drawing the wagon laden with heavy
tools and electric appliance hastened
after the wagon and was willingly
harnessed again and finished the trip
in fine style, coming home with flying
colors
