There were objections to running
trolley cars on Main street because
horses would get frightened and that
the people from the country could not
tie their horses along the street for
fear they would frighten at the cars and
run away. Saturday there we're a
number OF teams tied along Main street
and some of the horses paid no atten-
tion to the cars while others would look
around to see what was coming. We

fine shape to an audience that appreciat-
ed it. The Graves-Morton Opera Co.
Monday night at the opera house gave
the Mitchell people the first taste OF
comic opera they have had in long
time, and it was appreciated to high

in fine shape. The second act was the
most taking, which was representative
OF court ball, and the members of the
company appeared in court dress giving
pretty figure of the minuet. The
calcium lights added much to the effect
of the scene. The general work Of the

Railroad Extension.

There Is a rumor that has consider
able foundation to the effect that the
new railroad running between Clarion
and Summerville will be extended to
connect with the Shawmut. 1t is the
intentions to extend the new line to the
Clarion River Railroad to connect with
it at point near Mill Creek, through
Clarion, jefferson and Elk counties at a
point near Halton. This connection
would be valuable one to both the
Pittsburg, Clarion e. Summerville and
the p. S. g. NJ, and would open up a
lumber and coal field that has been prac-
tically untouched. The directors OF the
road, recorded at the time the applica-
tion for charter was made this week,
are John G. Evans, James G. Reany,
John B. Hoover, John G. Frazier, John
j. Heard, George B. Motheral and

But to return to Taggart. There have
been SO many and such conflicting accounts
OF the chairman that the artist and inter-
viewer half expected to see a lean and hungry
Cassius, so thin that he seemed all back
bone, and the artist had sharpened her
pencil accordingly. But this idea fought
for supremacy with another, that he was
a jolly Falstaff. CARRIED in large checks,
making merry jests over the telephone when
he had worn out his coadjutors in the de-
partments at hand. Neither is the case.
T. Taggart is a modest looking gentle
man who wears plain suit OF blue, butter
fly tie, whose buttonhole is adorned with
very small combination of star and
crescent both emblematic Of hope, though,
Judging from the size, the hope is not over
towering. The only other ornament he
sports is Masonic sign emblazoned with a
big diamond
He admits the possession Of four grown
daughters and a son but does not look the age
that that possession would seem to imply.
His mustache and hair do not match and
you cannot, therefore, classify him as either
blond or brunette, and his grayish blue
eye has none Of the cold, steely glitter that
sometimes accompanies that particular,
species Of orb.
On the contrary, the eye is Of the twinkly
order 1t is little like Anna Held's wink;

Right over the desk, in the place OF honor,
