Il. M. Z. A. entertainments Course.
The third number Of the Association
entertainment course promises to be
an unusually attractive one. The Bos-
tonia Woman's Orchestra is one Of the
best known musical organizations in
the country and Is well-known in this
part Of the east. Wagner has said,
& Whatever the relation OF music, it
will never cease to be the noblest and
purest Of arts. This is especially true
in the point of orchestral composition
and an aggregation Of the merit Of the
orchestra which is to be the next at
traction on the Association course is
sure to please the most exacting must
cal taste. The brass quartette is a
feature of the program that will appeal
to every one; the personnel Of the play
ers being an exceptionally strong musi-
cal combination. The concert will be
given In Lyceum Hall next Wednesday

For GROWING Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, April "a
Mrs. A. l.. Smith. of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remed, for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by
the following experiences:
"My daughter Avas thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass off. In month she
would have the spells again. AT these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites OF
her eyes would be yellow.
"The doctors gave us no encourage
ment they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills. she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treat, Int until she had "sed in all
a.,out dozen boxes, q i we still give
them to her ,sionally when she is
not feeling VIZ Dodd's Kidney pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing. they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure a healthy. happy
future for them.

PLANS FOR THE CAPITOL.
Commissioner Will Secure Estimates
on ArteSian Melt

commissioner VIII Secure Estimates
on Artesian Well.
One OF the first moves made by the
capltol commission was to instruct the
secretary of the commission TO Sc
cure estimates Oh the cost of sinking
an arteslan vell on the grounds. This
would be sunk for the double purpose
OF securing water for the trees, shrub
berry and lawns, and gas for lighting
the building. and any power which
might be desired. The wells at Pierre
all carry sufficient gas to make Them
prolltable for that alone, even if no
use is made of the water The COM
mission will not attempt anything fur
Their until they return from their trip
to Helena, Mont, to look over the cap
ltol of that state, that building having
been selected as one which the lines
OF the building in this state will prob
ably follow and which can be erected
within the cost limit in this state. The
commission went over the grounds TO
decide upon what spot to place the
building, and discussed arrangements
OF the grounds. Ii it is decided to
SINK the We'll the probabilities are that
the plan of arrangements of grounds
VIII include a lagoon along the north
side OF the tract. which can be arrang-
ed by masonry dam near the eastern
end OF the grounds, and the lagoon
flooded from the we'll.
When the census of school children
| is taken in this state this year for the
purpose OF apportioning the interest
and income from the state school fund,
compliance with one of the laws of
last session. II. Bill 124, will show a
reduction in the number of pupils re-
ported iii several counties. The pro-
visions of this bill cuts from such emu
meration any pupils who attend the
model schools at the state normals, or
at any other state school. The the
DRY OF the bill is that when the state
IS paying for the education of these
children and the community in which
they live is relieved from local taxa
ton for their schooling, that commune
" is not entitled to draw from the
state school fund additional means for
their education. BY enumerating such
w
live secures a larger per capita of the
state fund on the pupils in actual at
tendance at their schools than do
those who are not favored by the
state schools. and the local expense of
education is reduced in both ways.
Outside of the state schools the law
will apply in other cases. In one town
in the state where an orphans home is
located. the children at the home have
all along been enumerated when the
census was taken. but We're not allow
ed 10 attend the school which drew
state funds on account of their num.
hers. the school board of the town go
ing so far as to secure court opinion
to the effect that the town could not
be legally compelled TO admit such
children to the schools. but the emu
meration Went on. Other cases are
just as glarlng, and the census returns
will be watched this year.
