Telephone Hearing Adjourned.

The hearing before the board of ap.
peals for valuation of telephone COM
panies in Vermont was adjourned at
Montpelier yesterday until Tuesday
March IL. Governor Fletcher made a
statement in which he suggested ad-
journing the hearing to March IL to en-
able the board to have in its possession
the report of the public service com
mission on the telephone rate cases, and
announced that the state would be con-
tent with valuations of all companies
outside the New England company and
subsidiaries and future attitude of the
state would depend on the report. At
torney Jones for the New England COM
pany believed his companies should be
treated with equal fairness and that the
attitude of state should be the same to
all. State and owners are content with
the valuations on the Ovitt lines and
Farnsworth of Colchester. The valua-
ton of the Western Telephone company
of Jonesyille was by agreement raised
from $4,000 to $27 800.

Tonight by Klark- Urban Co. "The Deer

From a dramatic standpoint, no play
in the entire extensive repertoire of The
Klark Urban company will eclipse Paul

press criticisms, or rather, press praise
from the cities in which they have play
ed pronounce it to be even better than
their opening play, "Alias Jimmie Val
entine," by the same author Mr.. Arm
strong has the habit of writing only sue
.cesses and 'The Deep Purple" heads his
list of exceptional plays. Its Chicago
record has never been duplicated by any
other play. The Klark Urban company
has the habit of presenting only best of
plays, and of giving each play pro-
duetion worthy of much higher priced
attraction. At no time in theatrical his.
tory have plays OF as high character
been presented by a capable company at
as low price as during the present en-
gagement of the Klark- Urban company

STREET WORK IMPERATIVE.
Mayor Boutwell, Urges Appointment of
City Engineer for Montpelier.

The first meeting of Montpelier'f new
city council and mayor was held last
evening to discuss policies to be followed
the coming year. 1t was the opinion
that, although there are many things
to be gone into, the problem OF streets
should be the first attended to. Mayor
Boutwell, recommended the appointment
of city engineer TO see that the work
was properly and efficiently done, as
sorting that the administration of the
street department should be radically
changed this year. 1t was voted that
hereafter the weekly payrolls be closed
Saturday night and the men paid Mon
day. Most of the discussion at the
meeting was in regard to streets, the
mayor asserting that the people would
not stand for their present condition
much longer. FIe felt that city engi-
neer was one OF the crying necessi-
ties of the day, that grades and
accurate measurements might be estab-
lished There was also considerable dis
c,lssion as to the demands OF the fire
department.
A resolution was adopted authorizing
the mayor and city treasurer to nego-
tiate for temporary loan not to ex-
coed $4,000, in anticipation of the re-
eeipt of taxes.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Next Tuesday "A Butterfly on the
Wheel" at Barre Opera House.

That sensational divorce play, "A
Butterfly on the Wheel" is an import
ant booking at the opera house next
Tuesday and Judging from the success
of the attraction elsewhere, admirers Of
good acting may well anticipate some
thing worth while.
Its scenes are those of modern life and
amaze one wit their direct and palm
treatment. In act first is shown the
temptations of the young wife in Paris
and her thoughtIess behavior in hotel
with an admirer-the discovery of her
compromising actions by her husband in
act second, the great divorce trial in
act third and the clearing up of the in
eliminating evidence in act fourth.
The trial scene holds the auditors
spell bound and has been pronounced
unanimously a masterpiece in stage craft
especially the climax where the Butter
fly wife vainly endeavors to avoid
the shafts of satire and the thrusts of
keen suggestion, at her conduct by a
pitiless prosecutor until overwhelmed
she breaks down in despair at being so
misunderstood.-Adv.
