/ ing David Harum, was something Of a
disappointment to the small audience that
assembled in Dubois & Gays hall Friday
evening to hear him. He was not particu-
larly distinct in bis enunciation and
seemed 10 be not largely endowed with
that natural humor which an audience is
quick to recognize and respond TO and

acter like David Harum. The horse trade,
50 funny IN its first perusal, became a
drearv piece Of fiction in his labored re-
hearsal. He did better in short, snsppy
stories and, costumed 10 impersoaate a
maiden Of sixteen summers and some
twenty severe winters, fairly made hit.

have been reported e the state board, to
whom such matters properly belong, and
the members Of that board viii come here
later to make their own Investigations and
take such action as seems best. Ii should
In justice be stated. perhaps, that the ice
harvested from the pond is sold for reirig-
Grating purposes ana not for drinking
water, as il comes from a river and not
from a spring and Is naturally no more
