AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
What Effects Will Fire Have on Rights
of Town in Coburn Hall.

One of the numerous topics of discus
sion arising from the fire, and perhaps
the most important, is the question of
the effect of the fire on the rights of the
town OF Skowhegan in Coburn Hall, or
more accurately against the Skowhegan
Hall Association. Those rights were
originally acquired by virtue of a vote
of the town passed on March 4, 1866.
and a deed of the old town hall prop
erty in conformity with that vote. The
language of the vote, AS 1t now appears
on the town records, was as follows:
Voted, that the town convey the
present Town Hall Building and lot to
the Skowhegan Hall Association and
also exempt the building proposed to DE
erected by said corporation. from taxes,
in consideration and on condition that
said Corporation shall grant to the
Town a perpetual lease Of the hall pro-
posed in said building for all town
purposes and also a room suitable for a
town Office, free of rent, except as
above provided. and shall sufficiently
guarantee that said hall shall be con-
veniently fitted up and kept in good re-
pair while the building shall stand"
The Selectmen were authorized to
contract with the Corporation, and tt
do all things necessary to carry the
vote irto effect. In conformity with
these instructions. they conveyed the
old Town Hall property. which Is the
property where the Somerset Reporter
building now stands, to the Hall Asso-
citation. the consideration being stated
as 5000 ION condition that the trustees
| of the Hall Association shall fulni the
vote of the Town of Skowhegan as to
perpetual lease Of Hall for town pur-
noses and an Office for the use OF

MAY HAVE NEW OPERA HOUSE.
Hall Stockholders Meet and Discuss
Matters Of Interest.

A meeting of the stockholders Of the
Skowhegan Hall Association was held,
Thursday evening, at the office of E. N.
Merrill. to discuss the matters growing
out of the destruction of Coburn block,
which was owned by the association.
Nearly all of the stock was represent
ed at the meeting. There was an ex-
tended discussion of the situation from
all points of view, and numerous prop
ositions were debated. The meeting
adjourned without definite action, but
another meeting is to be held in the
near future, as the interests of the
town demand prompt action. The pre-
yailing sentiment of stockholders is
strongly in favor of rebuilding, and the
probability is that if a block is built
the Ordway property on the west of the
hall site will be purchased and larg-
er block erected. A committee was APP
pointed to confer with Mr.. Ordway rel
alive to 4 transfer.
If this project is carried out, it will
mean much TO the town, and put the
business street in better condition than
it was before the fire. The old Opera
house was never matter of pride to
the town. the stage was inadequate to
the DENIAL ds of even a mediocre travel
ing company and as a result Skowhe
gan has come to be poor show
town." except for the inferior attrac-
tons. A modern, properly constructed
hall would mean much higher class of
entertainment and much more re-
spectacle place fer public meetings. In
the erection of a new building consid
cradle could be saved by reducing the
height of the block as there was large
amount of vertical space that was
practically useless in the old building.
One of the largest stockholders in the
association has offered to purchase the
outstanding stock at 500 per share and
erect a block with a first-class hall to
replace the old one.

STOP THAT COUGH!


Miss Lila, Of Illinois, started ont
exactly in this way. Fortunately, she
took . course Of Peruns before 1t waG
too late. She had caught several colds,
then . cough developed. She took all
sorts Of cough medicines, until, A. she
puts it, 81 sickened 1t the sight Of thcm."
In four weeks Peruna had cured her Of
her catarrh and her system was entirely
rid Of it -
This u what Peruna II doing al the
while. Not day, and probably not an
hour, passes but some one has similar
experience with Peruna.
The first step toward consumption 10
catching cold. The nextstepi is failure
to cure it promptly. The third step -
the development of catarrh, which grad.
ually becomes chronic. The fourth stem,
the catarrh begins to spread from the
head to the throat. The fifth step, the
catarrh spreads to tho bronchial tubes
and lungs. It then becomes consump-
ton in its first stage.
At any time during the progress Of the.
catarrh, from the first onset OF the cold
to its final settlement IN the lungs, Pc.
runa can be relied upon to stop the dis
ease. 1t cures entirely. Even after
consumption has become thoroushly
developed, many cases have found in
Peruna permanent cure. After they
have been given up by physicians to die
Of consumption Peruna has cured them.
We have hundreds Of testimonials
that declare these facts In the most
enthusiastic language.
U. 8. Senator John N. Thurston, from
Nebraska, writes the following lsttaR
from Washington, D. O. undsr date os
April 6, 1901:
az have used PeEuna - various insssi
during the past year Or TIVE with most
satisfactory results.
alt entirely relieved me from an irYi-
tating cough, the result Of excessive
effort in the Presidential campaign, and
I an q firm believer In it efficacy in
any such trouble."-Jno. N. Thurston.
To take quieting medicines to stop .
cough is absurd and harmful. The only
way to stop cough permanently and
without doing more injury than good 10
to cure the catarrh, which il exactly
wha. Peruna does. It cures the catsrrh
Of the bronchial tubes and the cough
ceases.
At the slightest appearance Of cough
bottle of Peruna should 10 taksn-
according to directions. One bottle in
the beginning will do more than half
dozen bottles after the catarrh has
fastened itself on the lungs,
Ifyou do not derive prompt and salts

full statement Of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.
