Extra Good Bookings For
Opera House Opening
Next Month

The new stage at the Opera House
is assuming proportions which indi-
cate that it will be ready for the
opening on an early September
date. When the stage is completed
and the scenery installed, the aver
age play produced at any city thea
tire may be creditably staged.
The management has been care
full in the selection of attractions,
booking only those bearing good
regulations and the coming season
should produce many treats for our
theatre goers.
Paid in Full from the c. S.
Primrose agency, drama which
has had a phenomenal run in all
the large cities, will be the opening
bill, and THE Servant in the
House," which will be remem bered
as the play from which Mary Kinney
Barner read, number on the
Citizens Lecture Course, will occu-
py the boards later in September.
These attractions were procured
only after an investigation had led
the management to believe that our
citizens would gladly pay an in
creased price, if good productions
could be induced to play here.
The prices will be higher than
the usual popular prices" but the
standard of the entertainments will
be proportionately higher, and the
verdict of our citizens as shown by
their patronage will determine the
future policy in conducting the
theatre.
Announcements of positive dates
and opening of the reserved seat
sales will be made later.

late Michael + Kelley of Colchester was
proved in probate court yesterday and
developments at the hearing indicate
that it will be the fifth testament to BE-
contested within few weeks. The ex.
animation, conducted by V. A. Bullard

of undue influence over him. Mr.. Bull

residing in Pennsylvania A niece, Anna
r. Kelley. is named as the residuary
legatee and there are other bequests o.
small amounts. Another nephew, John

Elihu b. Taft. The testator was well
known in this vicinity, having formerly
owned the farm property on which st.
Michael's college, Winooski park was
later built, and having donated por-
ton of the property for that purpose,
it is understood, Other business in pro-
bate court yesterday included a settle
ment and decree in the estate of Fannie

DISTRICT NURSE BILL HELD UP.
Montpelier City Council Doesn't Pro-
pose to Pay Unnecessary Bills.

Much of the time of the Montpelier

with the asking and granting of re.
bates and discussion of the bill pro.
sented by the woman's club for the dis
trict nurse. This bill amounted to S225
and the report specified 3l7 free calls
and pa metropolitan calls. On gIancing
over the names, the aldermen spied some
who own property and who they con
siIered able to pay their own expenses,
and therefore, after long discussion,
the matter was referred TO the commit.
tee on accounts to investigate. City At
torney Bailey then remarked that he
considered the voting of 5000 for the
district nurse work by the city coun-
ell was illegal and he wished to go on
record as opposing the payment of ths
bills. He referred to one case where "a
calls had been made on one family. The
bill was held up until the matter can
be looked into more thoroughly.
bill for the service of election day
was ordered paid, to the amount of Sc
each except TO three men who worked
shorter hours, and to them was paid
So each.
Mayor Estee favors having some sort
of scheme laid out, by which the coun-
ell may know its liabilities and know
how much has to be laid cut and when,
and the mayor and city clerk are try

Most of the road work has been com
pleted and a force of only twelve men is
now employed by the city, at cost of
