Waterville, Me-, June S.-(SpeciaD.-
1t is with great JOY that the citizens
learn that an attempt will be made for
the construction of new High school
building and if the appropriations that
were made up by committee at re-
cent meeting are passed this evening,
it will carry an appropriation of $1O.-
900, which will be the first installment
towards the new building. According
to the present minds of nearly all the
members, in fact all of them, the roll
of appropriations will go through, es-
pecially the amount named for the be-
ginning of the work. The members OF
the city government have come to feel
that it is now necessity and is being
looked upon as such. The board OF
education has been making great
strides toward the construction OF such
building and no one is in better
position to know than they are. They
not only feel the necessity but they
realize it as well, for the present old
building, which is inadequate, Will not
meet the demands of the students VINO
are to enter the higher grades at the
beginning of the school year.
The old building will not stand any
more repairing; enough has already
been laid out on it to give a new
building a good start. 1t is unsanltary
and many of the parents refrain from
allowing their children to take up their
courses This is disadvantageous to the
city, for with a new school building all
scholars could be kept at home ana
receive as good an education as they
receive elsewhere. The members OF the
city eovernme mt realize that it is going
to cost a large sum, probably $oo,0oo,

Strong Hopes for a Fine
New High School Building.

but a start must be made sometime
and why not this year.
The Coburn Classical Institute build
ing was short time ago offered to
the city and for a time it looked as If
an effort would be made to purchase
the building for High school purposes.
But the more the committee appointed
and the members of the board OF, edu-
cation looked into the matter, the more
they disliked the idea. The building
might serve for a few years but the
cost of remodelling and repairing
would he SO great that little would be
saved. The building is not what is
wanted for a High school building. 1t
has served for years and has been eff
Gent for it's purpose, but today the
buildings erected for school purposes
are differently constructed. If we have
got to have a new building. and we GER
tain,y have, why not have the best,
one that will last for years to come
and will be suitable for all purposes.
1t is reported that Mayor Redington
is in favor of the lot on Gilman street
situated between Burleigh and Heath
streets, and it is also reported that the
city has the option on the same. Here
there is a vast tract of land answerable
in every way for the needs of High
school building. The lot is so situated
that there would be three streets ac-
cessihle to the building. The sanitary
conditions would be excellent. A large
piece could be laid aside for an ath-
letic field something that is greatly
needed in the modern school building
grounds. Anyway, the members of the
government in conjunction with the
School Board are using every possible
effort toward this end. The matter vii

Whom the Gods Would Destroy,
They First Make Mad" is the very
brilliant heading of a reading notice
inserted in one of the evening papers
Of yesterday by a competitor We are
willing to leave il to the public to
judge who is mad" ANY one who
has taken the time to read the state
ments made, can judge. AS to who
sells the cheaper, quality of goods con-
sidered, that is also for the public to
determine. We can only ask that you
see US after you have considered the
"other fellows" proposition, and decide
this important matter for yourself at
the time you wish to purchase a piano,
or piano player. There is no need of
stealing any more of your time talking
along these lines, as we have covered
the ground.
As to the system the Phoenix Branch
is operated under, we wish to relterate
that it is handled in the same manner
as any of our California Branches, and
you pay no more here for goods than
at any of our other stores. Why our
competitor should deliberately falsify
in this regard is easily discernible by
any one who will weigh the facts. Our
business here has been decidedly sue
cessful, and, as the evidence indicates.
has worried the "other fellow" consid-
erably. If our "out-in- the-open' bust
ness methods, and the success it has
given us, causes him mental torture
the agony will certainly be prolonged
as WE ARE HERE TO STAY.
We hereby wish to apologize to the
"other fellow" for a typographical err
ror made by the newspapers, and which
they will verify, in referring to the
Ludwig Player Piano, offered for sale
by him. Our copy read interior" and
not inferior" They inserted an 'f,"
while it should have been st" It is
not our policy to refer to any makers
goods in this way Our competitor,
however, is not so magnanimous, as
he has feebly attempted to poison the
public's mind against the old, reliable,
genuine Ludwig & Co. pianos, hun
dreds of which we have sold, and, as
before stated, have vet to hear from
a dissatisfied customer
To close this controversy regarding
the Ludwig situation we will say, and,
if you will call, or if our dear COM
petitor will so honor us, we will show
you the facts, to the effect that all
genuine Ludwig & Co. pianos with
an accent on the company, please,) are
manufactured at go Southern Boule-
ward and E. 135th street, New York
City: while the Ludwig Player Piano,
Offered by the "other fellow is manu-
featured at 1863 Rider avenue. New
York City, by the Claviola Co. and the
true name of this Player is the Lud-
wig Claviola Player, an entirely diff
ferent piano than the Ludwig & Co.
pianos. Legitimate competition we en-
courage, and it is good for all con-
cerned. The kind our competitor in
dulges in hurts him only"

THE HORSE BUcKED-W. D.
O'Neill suffered a severe fall from a
horse yesterday afternoon which re-
suited in the breaking of one of the
smaller bones in his ankle. O'Neill
took out horse from the Walker
stables to try it with a view to pur-
chase or trade He was told that the
horse bucked occasionally, and while
he admitted that he wasn't exactly a
bronco buster, he guessed he would
try her just the same. O'Neill and
the horse ambled along gently for a
block or so. He had it all figured
out as to what he would do if the
horse did buck. He would simply
dismOunt and lead her back to the
stable, and get somebody else to do
the busting. When O'Neill had rid
den several blocks he noticed that the
horse locked back to see who was
riding. In the middle of the next
block the horse looked back again
and seeing that O'Neill was still there
she put her head between her forelegs
and started in on series of volcanic
jolts. O'Neill found himself at one
time in the saddle and another sew
eral feet above il. He grasped the
pommel and prepared to dismount.
Unfortunately he selected the moment
when he was farthest from the
ground to fling himself out of the
saddle. 1t was like jumping off the
roof of a house and a badly sprained
ankle with possible fracture was the
result.
