small stage space in our opera house
prevented a complete arrangement
and exhibition to advantage. The
audience wss not as large as the
troupe deserved owing to the short
notice, but all present expressed
satisfaction and great pleasure.
Without particularizing it may be
said that each character was suit
ably and beautifully sustained, and
it in comedy, appreciation was shown
by hearty applause and laughter,
while the sentimental acts brought

Receives Patent on Vehicle Wheel.

Attorney J. A. Yarger during the
past year has diverted his mind from
legal problems long enough to figure
ont vehicle wheel which bids fair to
rsvolutionize the wheel business on
all passenger carrying vehicles,
especially those on which pneumatic
tires are nsed.
A patent was allowed Mr.. Yarger
December IA. In this wheel he has
taken the air from the tire and placed
IL in the hub, which gives the same
results as the pneumatic tire, and by
50 doing has made it practical to- use
the wheel wherever pneumatic tire
would be desirable. For strength,
durability and beauty it is superior to
AL other wheels at no greater cost
than the pneumatic tired wheels and
SHOULD come into general use on all
high classed passenger carrying
vehicles. Nashua Reporter.
