"DO 1T TODAY"

The time worn injunction, Never
put off It'll tomorrow what you can
do today" is now generally pre-
scented in this form: "Do it today -
That is the terse advice we want to
give you about that hacking and de-
moralizing cold with which you have
been struggling for several days,
perhaps weeks. Take some reliable
remedy for 1t TO-DAY-an and let that
remedy be DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for
over thirty-five years. A few doses
of it will undoubtedly relieve your
cough or cold, and it's continued use
for a few days will cure you COM
pletely. No matter how deep lated
your cough, even If dread consump-
tiou has attacked your lungs, Ger
man Syrup will surely effect a cure
as it has done before in thousands

ACTIVE WORK BEGUN.
A New Opera House for Wszahachae
Now an Assured FACT.

1t will no doubt be gratifying news
to the theater-goers in particular
and the public in general TO learn
that at the opening of the next the
atrlcal season Waxahachie will have
first class opera house. The opera
house proposition has been under
discussion for several months and
there we're many Missouri people in
Waxahachie who refused to be con-
WINGED until they were shown.
Plans for a new theater have been
maturing for some time, but did not
assume tangible form until about
ten days ago when all the prelimin-
airy details were completed and the
contract for the erection of the
building awarded. The successful
bidders were Boze & Compton of this
city, and this morning a force of
w0rkmen were put to work on the
building. The plans and specifica-
tions were prepared by A. &. Hig-
ginson, a Kansas City architect,
who has had considerable experience
in the building of theateTs. Accord
ing to these plans the two-story
brick building of Washington street
owned by V. H. Shelton will be COM
| pletely overhauled and converted
into play house. Mr.. Shelton will
eXpend about s. 900 on the building
and when it is completed he will
have one of the most up-to-date and
modern theaters of any town in Tex
as no larger than Waxahachie.
There will be two openings to the
/ building in front, and just on the in
side will be lobby ten feet square.
| To the right of the entrance doors d
cozy little ticket Office will be fitted
up. There will be an elevation of
about four feet from the floor of the
lobby to the first floor, which will be
| built on an incline. There will be
| two aisles running from the entrance
of the first floor to the orchestra pit.
In the parquet there will be six rows
of chairs and thirteen rows in the
dress circle. There will be no posts
or columns in the center of the
building to obstruct ones view of the
stage.
The stage will be twenty-eight
feet deep and forty-six and one-half
across, and the proscenium opening
will be twenty-eight feet. There will
| be one dressing room at each end
of the stage and three to the rear of
| the stage. Two bath rooms, water
closets and sinks Will also be con-
structed in connection with the
stage. There will be a water plug
and reel of hose for protection
against fire.
The floor OF the balcony will also
be inclined and will be furnished
with 3l8 chairs.
The latest improved opera chairs
have already been ordered.
An order has been placed with the
Kansas City Scenic Company for
| the scenery.
The rigging loft will be ffty-four
feet high, thus atfording plenty of
room for handling the largest seen
cry carried by theatrical companies.
Attractions are now being booked
and the people of Waxahachie may
be assured of seeing some first-class
shows here next season.
