Tonight Reynolds Opera House
will be opened to the public for thu
first time. The new seats have
been placed and everything about
this new theater is now complete
and ready tor the opening tonight
Shares were sold and the house
was built under specified con,
tract, including all but seats and
heating apparatus. These are
bought at an extra cost, and Mana.
ger Reynolds is offering seats for
the first performance at a rate
slightly ia advance of the usual
price in order to secure fund to
pay for them. This is customary
with the opening Of all new opera
houses. AT Jackson, Tenn, when
the Pythian Opera House was
opened the seats sold for $1,000
The amount Of stock was So, 600.
This gave them an opera house for
$4,000 which is one of the best
ever built for that amount The
fund secured in stock, etc, for the
Reynolds opera house was 81, 500,
almost as much as that Of the Jack
son house. For the opening night
Manager Reynolds is asking for
seats from Sl.0O to So 90, only
double the usual rate, while the
seats at Jackson sold at $500 and
over. In making this statement it
Is our object to impress upon the
citizens the Importance Of small
subscription from each and every
one, in the way of purchasing a
first-night ticket or otherwise. It
is especially duty of those who
have not subscribed tor shares to
add something to the fund for an
enterprise of this character, and by
buying an opening ticket they can
take advantage not only of sub
scription to the opera house
fund, but an entertainment worth
half the price Of seats. The opera
house has already been described
in these columns. It is 6rst-class
building in every way tor the pur-
pose constructed and a credit to the
city and every citizen in it. If you
don't care to attend a play, then
you will want to see the commence
ment when your son or daughter,
brother or sister graduates; you
will want to hear the public adj
dresses or lectures delivered there.
Under these circumstances it is not
asking too much for you to make
small donation to Reynolds Opera
House. The opening attraction
for to-night's bill is a clean high
class comedy to be presented by
a company Of capable artists in
every sense. It is full of sparkling
humor, brilliant dialogue and
lively comical situations from
start to finish, The opera house
should be packed tonight.

ton. If he fails to run for an
elective Office, he wants an APP
pointive Office. We never saw q
man SO anxious to fiji a petty office
as this same Mcdowell appears to
be. Why should be be so anxious
to be elected Representative from
this countyg Some say it is be-
cause be has sore toe and wants
to get even with Governor Frazier
for not appointing him election
commissioner for this county.
Some say if he is elected, be win
remember bis failure to get that
appointment and will do all in his
power, which, thank God, will be
nit, to embarrass the administration
of Governor Frazier. Democrats,
do you want to elect man to do
such d thing as thatG We think
not. Then it is said he wants to
be elected SO he can do what he
can (which won't be much) to re-
peal the Democratic election laws.
Do Democrats want him to do
thats We think not. But whether
these be bis reasons for making
the race or not, yet, he is now
playing the same role he has often
played, running for office. What
kind Of man is this Mcdowell,
anyhowg Why, he is the man
who tried in season and out Of
season to array the country people /
against the town people; who. goes
about crying ''ring," ring" and
hat he wants to beat the ring,
when he knows he simply wants
'fice, that bis greed for Office is so
great that it can never be satisfied.
According to this chronic Office

He lives on, feeds on and de-
lights in strife, discussions and a

If it. He is Of the rule or ruin
rider. The first we remember Of
lin, he was doing his best to array
he country people against the
own folks, the country people
gainst the lawyers. One of bis
tocks in trade is to berate the
awyers and call them ringsters
nd members of the clique. If he
hould be, by the aid Of Republic
an votes, elected to the Legisla-
ure, he would be without a party,
influence and could do alb
olutely nothing for anybody or
nyone. The Democracy of this J
tate know him too well, and want
one of him and would refuse to
ave anything to do with him in

hook or crook he should be {

itely no probability.

Chas. Peterson Gets go Days for
Stealing "Bart's'' Goat.

Don't make any court of it; I'll
plead guilty"
That IN brief was tho testimony
of seedy looking individual who

court Saturday morning on the
charge Of having committed petit

and was given a cell in the
county Jail until Saturday morning
at 10 CLOCK when he was gwen a
hearing. He wanted to make quick
work of his case and therefore
pleaded guilty.
Thursday night he was about
town and made several attempts
to sell the coat and when he came to
John Van Volkenburg Friday
morning he disposed Of the gar
ment for $1.75. The coat was
practically new, as it was bought
last season and had been worn but |
very little, and Mr.. VanValken burg

somewhat soiled. It is supposed
that the fellow had got on a drunk
aud slept in it in some alley Thurs
day night.
Peterson was unable to pay his
fine and was given jail sentence

SOFTCORE

o.AS9A&Sa6~
Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core Of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat. :.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest Of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

NEWPORT, r. T., June 1.-The sub
marine torpedo boat Fulton was given
a trial today n.the presence of a naval
board. The Fulton was given a speed
run on the surface and under water
and was put through diving maneu-
vers and a course sof torpedo firing.
Capt. J.. H. Traine, chairman of the
trial board said tonight that the ma
neuvers were entirely satisfactory
They lasted five hours. The weather
conditions were unsatisfactory
choppy sea and heavy rain.
The Fulton went over the Narragan-
sett bay course twice at cruising speed
and three times at full speed, the boat
being on the surface during these runs
While submerged she was sent over
the course three times and covered the
same distance awash and ready to
dive. She was also tested on quick
turns and made ten dives. An OBJ
server stated that one of these dives
carried the boat to a depth of twen-
ty feet in twelve, seconds.
Capt. Traine said that both the gaso-
line and electric engines of the boat
were used with satisfactory results.
