the action OF the STANDARD OH Com

The farmers in tlie. vicinity believe

the Standard has struck a big field Of

"sHE sTooPs TO CONQUER"
An Immense Audience Delighted With
Last Evenings Production.

A very successful production of the
play "She Stops to Conquer was CIV
en- before an immense audience at the
Opera house last evening by the Ar
cadia Club. This is an organization of
young women of the Universalst So
ciety and the proceeds are to be used
for the benefit of the church. Delight
full music was furnished by the Cecilian
Ladies' Orchestra, composed of the
Leahy Sisters and the E. 3. Mandolin
Club.
Miss Agnes Barton won much ap-
plause by her rendition of contralto
solo during the change of scenes in the
first act. The participants in the ale
house scene won constant applause and
their acting of somewhat difficult
sketch would have been credit to
company of professionals. George
Bose as Tony Lumpkin was heartily
applauded for his "Song of the Three
Pigeons"
TIE story of the play was full of
hun,or and jollity reigned supreme. 1t
would be unfair to emphasize the work
of any one member of the cast, as all
made the most of their opportunities.
Miss Flood, rs the agitated Mrs. Hard
castle. in the third act, scored a sue
cess. she also deserves special credit
for hcr work in the preparation of the
play. The singing of Mrs. J. H. Hud-
dist IN was encored. She has q light.
but very smooth and we'll cultivated
voice. The costumes We're well selected
and as the play dated back to the 18th
century the wide range of colors en-
ploycd made the entire performance a
vision CT beauty.
Tie professional appearance of the
| makeup of the members of the COM
pany was due to the skilled assistance
of Norbert KrutZky.

invoking the aid of the police, but he
was nowhere to be found.
This woman, who is the one who
brings the charge of polygamy against
Sirois said that she had knowledge that
he has two other wives now living and
that she was the last Of the three.
When she married him she did not
know or suspect that there were al
ready two women claiming the title of
Mrs. Sirois. When she discovered the
alleged facts she Immediately institut-
Ell proceedings and hit upon his trail.
This woman. before Il her marriage,
was Miss Edith Ouilette and she now
lives in Winslow, Maine. 1t is alleged
that che of the other wives lives at
PresNue Isle, and the third somewhere
in Massachusetts.
Since that time a warrant has been
out for, Sirois' arrest and the police
have been keeping watch for him.
Wednesday morning Marshal Rowe re-
cciyed word that the -much-wanted
young man was in town, having arrlv-
ed the night before, and that he was
at AAk OAu OOetA Nli5 pAelNS u VI DPA AAAo
street. He went to the house and ar
rested Sirois in his room.
"If I'd known this I'd never come
back" was Sirois' remark. The. young
man strongly maintains his innocence
OF the charges preferred against him,
and says that he has but one wife, the
one at Pressure Isle. She who brings
the proceedings and who followed him
to Auburn is not his wife. he says.
All the details of the case are not
known here and the hearing will be
held at Waterville. which was former
ly Sirois' home. One of the pieces of
evidence. possibly, is a picture which
was found showing a young man and
woman together. Sirois says the
man is not he. but the resemblance is
most astonishing.
Sirois is a good-looking fellow, clean
and intelligent, and it is no wonder, if
the allegations are true. that more
