AT PoLFs THEATER.
"Triiby."

Pleased beyond expression were the audiences at Polls on Monday at the opening performances of 'Trilby,' at which Roger Barker made his debut before Io.aI teha ter goerS. Though the evening performance was marreo by a slight fire in the cellar under the entrance to the Norwich Conner ciaI college, the audience returned aft CT the danger was over and greatly en- jOyed the four acts of the great French play.
 Roger Barker gave masterly inter pretation of the role of SVensaH, in which he was perfectly ot home- He impressed the audience with his work throughout the scenes in which he ap- peared, and it was apparent that Man ager Saunders had selected a most capable leading man for the company, succeeding Tom Moore. Victoria Mont gomery as Trilby has an excellent ve- hicIe in which to display her Versatil- fty. and as has always been the case gives a fine presentation of that role. The work of Fay Baker, Eleanor Alt man and Catherine Clinton added to the success of the production, while Kenneth Bisbee Richard Calvert and William Springer were thoroughly good John A. RObb as the Duke was well chosen for the rOles and he car ried it out to perfection. The work of the company called forth much ap- pIause and several curtain calls The scenery was one of the points of note which pleased, the stage pictures be- ing well done. The play and players deserve big business this week.

HAVING TROUBLE
 OVER SPUR TRACK
Problems Before the Trustees of Col
 ony for EpiIeptics at Mansfield.

Former State Senator William l.. Higgins of Coventry was at the state capitol Monday in connection with the work on the colony for epileptics, which the state is establishing in the town of Mansfield. Senator Higgins is member of the board of trustees, and Is the secretary of the board. He met in the afternoon with his col leagues of a sub committee, William J. Barber of HarWinton and Edward H. Deming of Pennington.
 Senator Higgins stated that the trus- tees are having some trouble in the matter of the building of a spur track from the main line of the Central Yer mont railroad to the grounds of the ccIcny. Ire trustees want the rail- read company to agree not to charge sH itching rates. The com pany is un- Wiling to agree to this. The trustees thlnk that the business which the col ony will bring to the railroad com pahF will be sufficiently large to war f&n1 the company's agreeing to their request. The matter may be event ually brought to the attention of the rublic utilities commission to adjust
 Nothing can De done in the way of beginrlng work on the buildings until cN@fy tElng pertaining to the switching and the construction of the track is settled It is true that even if this matted was adjusted at the present tune the trustees are not prepared to give out the contracts for the work The plans have not yet been developed by the architect. The trustees have at their disposal appropriation of S147,5O0 for the erection of the build ings, and $25,G00 for the maintenance for the next two years. It is proposed tO start a building that will have q possible development for the accom- modation of six hundred patients. The institution will be started with eighty patients. It is estimated that there are over $500 epiIeptics in the state The trustees have now three hundred and sixty acres of land on which 10 establish the colony. Their first pur- nase of land contained about two hCttdred anG twenty acres The farm known IS the Greene farm contained on fpndred and forty acres and Was bought for $4,900 The trustees cx- pect to get from the Greene farm all the sand and gravel which they will need for building purposes. It fs their rfentiCn to plant an apple orchard on the Greene farm One of the profes- sors at Storrs agricultural college has promised to direct them in the plant ing of the orchard, and he will con duct some experiments In apple cul- ture Cn it.

the requirements and the commission feels that an ideal spot has been se- cured.
 Opposite Car Barn.
 The Post place is located on the north side of West Thames street, di- rectly opposite the MontvilIe car barn, and consists of 80 acres of land. There is ten room house with outbuildings, including a large barn built four years ago This property was called to the attention of the commission by Prank A. Bill, through whom the deal was effected. It's many fine points spent but a half hour looking it over on their visit here week ago Sun day
 Slightly Location.
 There is a gradual slope to the prop erty from the street back until it reaches it's greatest height at the back boundary line. From there, near which point the sanatorium will prob ably be located, it is possible to get view for many miles and look into five townships. On the west the hills oT Bozrah at LeffingweII are visible and MontVille is of course the hilly Sec tion to the south. On the east the towns of Ledyard and Preston are seen, while the building will be located in Norwich. It is but a ten minute ride on the electrics from Franklin square and all through cars from New Lon don to Willimantic bass the property, while with a few minutes wait for changes all sections of eastern Con necticut are easily reached by electric or steam roads. IL is within a five cent fare limit and has the transfer privilege.
 Many Advantages.
 Electricity for light and power Fasses the property and the city water comes as far as Bushnell place. so that it is believed it can be easily ob- tained for the institution. The state macadam road passes the property ard there is a sunken stone and cinder top drive from the street nearly through the property. The 30 acres are rec tangular in shape. enclosed by stone walls. The present buildings on the land will be used in some manner at the institution. From the institution the fair grounds. Trading cove, the boats on the river and the passing au- tOs, teams, electrics and steam cars are visible. The state hospital can be seen across the river to the east.
 MT. Post has lived there for 14 years. Paving purchased the place of NJ. V. B. Pierson, who owned it for short time. It was what was known as the Thomas B. Woodwork place.

MAKING APPEALS.
Envoy and Mrs. ReckvvIth Wo-kinq Hard for Christmas for Children.

In pushing the Salvation Army work for the Christmas season, En- voy and Mrs. George Beckwif h, who are in charge of the local corps. have sent out 1000 letters of appeal, but report only forty responses thus far. These have been liberal but hardly enough, they write, to carry out their plans for the welfare of the children They write The Bulletin: We are sure that many people are in sympathy with our effort, and we are ready at any time to tell our progress and Invite the public to attend our meet ings, and would ask the aid and pray CT of our brothers and sisters in Christ in our endeaVor to raise fallen hI.nInu- ity. We feel sure that we are not calling for aid in vain for Merry Christmas for the children"

Post place in Norwich as the site for the New London county sanatorium, pos session to be taken as soon as the Post family can vacate, and work to be started in the near future on the erection of the buildings.
 This was one of the three sites which the commission viewed with zavor in Norwich. the other two being me Joseph Peckham place on rhe Dau- rel Hill road and the S- H. Reeves place at Shetucket Heights. There were many excellent features about the Post place which commended it to the commission. though it was the highest priced The purchase price was $9,5OO, while for the Peckham property SS,00O was wanted. and 5000 for the Reeves farm
 Judge AyIing in Charge.
 IL was announced by Commissioner Gunshanan that the commission will take possession just as soon as Mir. Post can arrange to Vacate and the deeds are passed Judge N- J. AylinS has been named as counsel for the commission to search the titles to the property and arrange for the transfer, that it may be properly taken care of and carried out.
 There will be spent on the sanatori- i'm in all between S50.O00 and S60.00O and of that amount it is intended that between S3O, GOO and $40. .00O will be eX- pended before April 1st as it is in tended to get the specified tions out for bids right away. Local contractors will be given the chance to bid on the work
 Back from Road.
 The sanatOrium will be located it is expected, about 1900 feet back from the road, on the hillside, which gives fl a southern exposure and at the same time also gives it protection from the north winds, there being also quite a barrier there of heavy wood to give c dded protection in winter time.

GOING WEST.

L. W. Strass6urg has sold his ton
serial establishment in the old "Y''
building, corner of Fourth and Scott
streets, to @. A. Humphrey, gentle
man who has been assisting him since
last July, and who has since that
time purchased a very pleasant home
and has brought his family here to
reside.
Mr.. and Mrs. Strassburg and daugh-
ter La Villa will depart this evening
for Curfew, Washington, where they
will make their home. Wausau has
been their home for seven years, and
during that time they have made
many warm friends who deeply regret
their departure. They 60 principally
for the benefit of Mrs. Strassburg's
health, as the climate there agrees
with her much better than here.
Both have resided in Washington and
have relatives there. Mr.. StraSsburg
intends to take up homestead, and
for several years at least, enjoy out
door life. Their many Wausau friends
wish them health and prosperity in
their new home.

LET WAUSAU CLEAN HOUSE.

The beautiful sunshine prevalent
throughout the month of March is a
reminder that the time is near at
hand for house cleaning. 1t is cer-
tainly to be greatly desired that Wau-
sau shall during the coming summer
attend to this matter much better
than in the past. Streets, alleys and
back yards must be cleaned and kept
clean. The typhoid flies must be
warred upon, by keeping their breeding
places screened. A very little effort
to do this early in the season when
warm weather is beginning, will kill
off the first crop of these dangerous
pests, and keep The city free from
them all summer, whereas if their
breeding places are left open for the
first crop of flies to come out and
scatter themselves over the city, there
will be no efficient means of protect
ing ourselves against them this year.
An ordinance requiring under penalty
that these breeding places, in the
horse barns, be screened, Will rid us
of them almost Instantly. But this
must be done at once to be effective.
1t would be great ''ad' for WauSau
if the people who visit US the coming
summer should find that WauSau is
not peStered with house flies. Clean
streets, alleys and back yards will help
in this and other ways to save the
public health. These very important
matters require only small outlay in
money. 1t is now high time that our
city council is attending to them.
Hot weather will be here presently
and then it will be too late TO keep
the flies out this year.

DOLAN MANAGER.

At meeting of the Wausau Base
Ball association held Wednesday even
ing "Biddy'' Dolan was selected to
manage the team the coming season.
The directors have had this move
under consideration for some months.
in fact since the close of last season
they have been of the opinion that
Carl Bond was not the man for the
position. Dolan, we believe, will
make an excellent manager. He is
well liked by his team mates, has
given evidence that he is a disciplin-
arian, uses no rowdy tactics, and can
control himself. Above all he knows
the game, and had he been manager
last year, some of the woodenhead
plays which characterized the game,
would not have been pulled off.
From now on Mr.. Doan and the
officers of the club will give their at
tention to signing new players and
getting in readiness for the opening
of the season.
In addition to Rhodes a new man
who will play third base, a fielder has
been signed in the person of G. ID.
Meister of Marietta, o. He was Sc
cured through scout of a higher
league.
Wausau has two hold-outs- Tony
Schieffer and Daddy" Cahill. The
former says he intends to quit base
ball. The management is on the
lookout for good second baseman.
Charley Fox, manager of the Jackson,
Mich, team wants to trade a second
baseman named Parker for Cahill,
and if dad don't come to his broth
soon the deal may 60 through. Pat
rons of the game don't like to see
Cahill leave us, for he is a good field
er and strong with the stick, batting
1903 last year, and stealing 50 bases.
The WauSau team will leave here
on the morning of April q and go to
Appleton, where games will be played
that afternoon and the following day
with the WI. pennant winners. The
team will then go to Fond du Lac
for two games.

CAPITALISTS
Big Sale Of Lands in the Dancy Drain
age District

Within the past few days deal was
closed for the sale of the large land
holdings of George III. Reynolds in the
Dancy drainage district to Minneapo-
lis capitalists. The deal involves be-
tween two and three thousand acres,
and represents many thousands Of
dollars. Mr.. Reynolds, who is now a
very successful real estate dealer in
Vancouver, B. c.. was for several
wears prior to moving west, one of
Marshfield's leading business men, and
for some years was one of the CON-
missioners Of the Dancy drainage dis
tricu. and one of the districts most
ardent supporters, and the faith that
he had in the undertakings ultimate
success lead him TO invest heavily in
the deal. and he will now net a large
sum. IL IS understood that the pur-
chasers viii sell 10 the actual settler
and will start developments in the
near future These lands I'll lie in
the vicinity of Rice lake. This sale
now leaves G. G. Knoller the largest
individual land owner in the district.

A SUGGESTION.

A business man of Wausau has
made suggestion to us which we
had not previously given considera-
tion, but which we think if put in
force might help advertise the city.
1t is this: Why don't the local mem
bers of the Wisconsin Valley Auto
mobile club adopt pennant, and
display that pennant when away
from home? This gentleman says
that in the course of the past few
months, in visiting other cities, he
has met many Wausau automobilists,
yet no one outside of personal ac-
quaintanceS would know where they
came from. During the past year or
two most every ear which has passed
through here has displayed a pennant
showing the city where the occupants
claim as their home. 1t is good adj
vertiSing medium 50 far as the city
in general Is concerned. 1t is worthy
of consideration.
