Norwich MinstreIs Saturday.

On Saturday night. Feb. is, the Nor
wich University Minstrels will make
their initial appearance at the Barre
opera house. Last year they gave a
two-night performance in Northtield,
which was the success OF the season.
The second nights performance was at
tended by number OF Barre people, who
afterwards wanted it reproduced on the
Barre stage, but as this was impossible
last year, owing to conflicting dates,
Manager Hoban has booked them for
next Saturday Several theatres in both
Massachusetts and Maine have made
the management offers 20 reproduce the
show on their respective stages, as the
reputation for the most elaborate anna
teur show in the state of Vermont has
gained them an euviabe notoriety. Crit
les who witnessed the production Of last
year claim that it would do the utmost
credit TO any professional stage and
we feel secure " the statement that
this years performance will tar exceed
the success OF last season.
y The show is staged by Mr.. F. II. Col

to entering college, was on the profess
sional stage and has played in several
of the best theatres both in Boston and

local amateur productions. Mr.. Colburn

football team. and it was his general
shin. as well as the response to his com
mauds bv his team mates, that won the
great game at lntercity park last iall,
The musical director, Mr.. A. p. Leete OF
the class of 1917, has also had consider
able professional experience in comic OPP
eras and il well adapted to his part.
He has been the baritone soloist in
the college quartet for three years.
Barre people may be interested to
learn that the following Barre boys are

Howard H. Reid. ~; John E. Miles, ~.
and Harry c. Fisher, IA. Mr.. Fisher

former pitcher on the Spaulding high
school baseball team. He will appear as

sketch by Magnus Murray, the clever
buck and wing artists, and will render

success, will appear in a side-splitting
German sketch. and are the two princi-
pal end men, the others being as fol-
lows: A. p Leete, H. Murray, Is, the

ting vaudeville sketches unequalled by
any on the professional stage. In addi-
ton To these. The Prize Fight. from

Torrance well worth your attendance.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Crowded House Witnessed "The Red
MilP' Last Evening.

An audience filling every available
seat in the opera house, and the largest
of the season up to date, witnessed the
presentation of the musical comedy sue
cess, "The Red Mill" last night. 1t
was the second appearance in Barre OF
this well-known piece, which has enjoyed
many nights of popularity in some OF
the largest cities in the country. To
those of the local theatregoers who wit
messed the previous presentation our sea-
sons ago, the production last night
hardly sustained the favorable impression
already gained. Two or three charac-
tiers, however, stood out prominently in
cast that otherwise was wanting In
many respects. A pair of young New
Workers stranded in the Dutch lowlands
were "Con Kidder" and kid Conner"
In assuming these roles, James Crowley
as the former and William Moore as
kid Conner" figured IL the main comic.
complications Of the piece and were re-
sponsble for most Of the laughs. YER
nice Martyr as ''Tina," the barmaid,
was peculiarly well adapted to the part,
and her clever dancing was acceptable
at all times. The musical numbers were
up to the average, and seemed TO be rem
dered more satisfactorily as the piece
progressed "Good-a-bye, John" by
Crowley and Moore" and Love But
You" by Vernice Martyr, easily de-
manded the great applause. The sex
tette Of Dutch Riddles, widely adver-
tised as one of the strong features of
the presentation, was lacking in last
nights program for reasons unexplained.
The attendance from Montpelier was one
of the largest of the winter, owing, per-
haps, to the excellent transportation ac-
commodations arranged by Manager Ho-
ban OF the opera house, over the Mont.
pelier & Wells River r. R.

MILLION GONE ON WEEKS BILL.
1t Will Come Up in the Senate for Vote
To-day.

Washington, Feb. l5.--Victory for the
Weeks Appalachian forest reserve bill is
expected in the Senate to-day, when that
body will vote upon it, in accordance
with an agreement made last year. The
delay between sessions will cost the pro-
iect one million dollars, as the bill pro-
vided for an appropriation of one mill
lion dollars to be available for use in
1910 and two million annually for five
years thereafter. 1t would be only fair
to amend the bill so az TO save the lost
million, but the friends of the measure
have decided to let well enough alone
and attempt no changes.

No Rise.

They say that living sterner grows,
From high to higher varies;
They speak of food and roof and clothes
AS costly neeessaries.
But still no rise in smiles | see,
In friendship and forgiving,
In love and jest and charity,
Which makes up truly living.

VIOLATION OF THE
CATTLE QUARANTINE
Three Convictions Are Had
at Sanderson in Terrell
County.

Sanderson. Texas. Feb. 10.-County
court has been in session since Monday
with judge ]. B. Ross presiding. This
has been the most interesting as well
as the largest docket in Terrell coun-
tvs history. there being a number Of
charges against citizens of the county
for violations of the state livestock
quarantine regulations. The first case
was that of C. F. Cox, of the western
part of the county, being charged with
driving horses across the line without
Inspection On plea Of guilty he was
fined 500 and costs.
other charges affecting the same
statutes were pending against F. e.
Oxshear and D. Hart, also big ranch
men of this county. They were also
fined the lowest fine. 500 and costs,
on pleas of guilty.
Terrell county is the first IN the his
tory Of this law to prosecute violators,
and it is thought this will cause the
ranchmen of the county to unite in
an effort to clean the county up OF the
fever tick and put il above the quaran-
tine line. AS it IS at presents the coun-
ty has two different lines, one being es-
tablished by the state livestock santa
~ commission and the other by the
federal government. DR.. P B. Scott,
representative of the department OF ag-
riculture, was present at the trials and
assisted in the prosecution. and ]. B.
Harrell, local livestock sanitary in
spector, appeared on behalf OF the
state.
There are several more cases against
other citizens pending which were con-
tinued until the next term
An effort will be made to move the
quarantine line to the Pecos river by

JOHNSON'S SPARRING
PARTNER KNOCKED OUT.

New York, n. Z. Feb 1O.-George
kid" Cotton, of Pittsburg, former
sparring partner of Jack Johnson, was
knocked out here last night by Morris
Harris in the. seventh round of a 10
round bout. The negro furnished the
fastest battle seen here between
heayyweights in years and the knock
out. came as the sensational close Of
a round in which Cotton apparently
had Harris at his mercy.
Harris had the better of the earlier
rounds and in the third put Cotton
down for the count of nine with a
right swing to the jaw. When Cotton
elambered TO his feet he was gFoggy,
but the bell saved him. He came
back strong in the next round, and
just before the knockout had Harris
weak and covering up.
In the last minute of the seventh
Cotton forced Harris hard, but out Of
a defensive crouch Harris let fly
right swing. The blow caught Cot
ton fairly over the heart and he
crumpled like a leaf.
