There are already thousand tickets
sold and the indications are good for
sale of double that amount. All seats
are fine in the auditorium for hearing
and seeing musical entertainment,
SO that no one need stay away on ac-
count of fear that they can not get
good seat. Not a-detail has been over
looked in the staging or cast. The
chorus is said by good critics who have
heard the rehearsals to be up to the
highest standards, and the same peo-
pie say that there are pleasant sur
prises in store for those who hear the
new people who are to sing the solo
parts.
The staging of the production has
been under the supervision Of Miss
Emma Vets of the state accountant S
office, assisted by Mrs E. H. Ander-
son, both of whom have had much ex-
perience in putting on amateur musi-
| cal entertainments, this being at least
| the sixth time that Miss Vets has as
sisted in the production of Queen
| Esther. Elaborate pains have beer
taken in fitting the stage to suit the
| occasion. 1t is well provided with
electric lights, and the tableau effects
are we'll worth double the price of adj
1 mission to see.
| The music of this favorite old Can
! tata appeals to all classes Of people
and there has apparently never beer
|
musical entertainment given in the au
ditorium among the people who do no

bankers and shop men all seem to b'
| taking much interest in the event.
| The one feature that will especial.

grand effect that the accompaniment

production. There are comparativel!

POLICE CALLED IN.
They Had to Help Bring Councilmen
to the Meeting.

It took the services of the police to
gather enough members of the council
together Friday night to secure a
quorom. 1t requires seven of the
members to secure a quorom and a
half hour after the council should
have been in session there were but
five members present. and it was
either a question of adjourning or
sending the police out to round up
the absent ones. Councilmen Miller
and Van Ness discovered that the po-
lice were looking for them, so they
hurried breathless to the city hall
arriving about 9 o'clock. A few min

The mad dog scare is claiming some
attention from the council again this
year. All the dogs and puppies in the
city were muzzled during the greater
part of the summer of 1907 because of
scare that fastened its hold upon the
people and which originated from a
report that one or two dogs were
suffering from rabies and supposed to
have bitten other dogs. A mad dog,
supposedly so, was killed at Sixteenth
had bitten other CANNES in that
vicinity. The judiciary committee of
the council will consider the re-enact-
ing of the ordinance regarding the
muzzling and tying up of dogs which
was in force last summer The COM
mittee reports back to the council this
evening. Councilman Horn en-
deavored to suspend the rules and re-
enact the ordinance Friday night but
Councilman Frazer, Hughes and Van

the council felt that it could not pay
that and offered $1,000. The $1,000
offer was more to their liking and the
mayor was directed to enter into a
contract with Medlicott for the work.
Richard Isaacs of New York will re-

city for land which was condemned
in the creation of Willow park. The
park fund was exhausted. but the city
borrowed from the general improve
ment fund the amount necessary to
pay Isaacs. In doing so the council
had to violate the law. but it was a
question of accepting the lesser of two

pay up the money due and Isaacs
was threatening lawsuit.

Crows and strinos.

II was proved centuries ago that
crow can count up to three and no
more met farmer once who said
that his corn crop had not failed I'm
twenty years owing to his habit of
stringlng his field. He explained:
"No crow will enter an angle formed
by two strings stretched on poles. !
illustrated this to some friends sew
eral years ago by sowing small field
In corn for fodder, protecting 1t by a
zlgzag string running from one end to
the other. Within the angles formed
by the string not blade of the young
crop was touched, but close without
them, at each end. the whole crop was
demolished. A crow is very wise
fool, and this is an effective and cheap
way of clrcumventing him." - New

Flavorina Tobacco. :

Nearly all tobaccos are doctored in
various ways in order TO suit the tastes
OF different consumers. Each manu-
facturer-- even IN Havana--has his own
secret methods, handed down from IA
ther TO son. which are regarded as per-
fectly legitimate and necessary In the
preparation Of the soothing weed. Salt
peter Is added to the tobacco to make
It burn well, llcorlce, honey, molasses
and maple sugar to give sweetness TO
II for the special benefit of chewers
aud rum to make 1t keep well and pre-
serve Its properties. Nearly every
plant which will afford o perfume Is
used in the preparation of what are
known as fancy" tobaccos. But 1t is
not true, as some suppose, that opium
and deleterious drugs are employed,
save in a few brands of imported
Turkish and Egyptian cigarettes.
Among the fiavors used are coffee, tea,
valerian, lemon, orange, geranium,
sassafras, thyme. anise, mint and Gin
namon. Gum ana glycerln are occa-
sionally employed to bind the tobacco
particles so that they shall not crumble
into dust, The various ingredients are
made into kind OF sauce, into which

which they are sprinkled. = London
