State House Chat

Clarence NJ Pierce. the gardener of the
State House grounds. has greatly improv-
ed the appearance Of the Blaine mansion
grounds by trimming the lower parts Of
the trees. removing dangerous dead limbs
and cleaning out some of the mass OF
shrubbery that has DISTRACTED the view OF
electric car motormen onto Capitol
street. It is a decided change for the
better. Mr.. Pierce intends in the spring,
the proper time FOR trimming the hedge,
20 cut II down TO about six inches above
the present fence. which will bring the
entire hedge into some sign OF symmetry.

Industrial Accidents

in Dexter on Wednesday for the pur-
pose OF hearing in the case of Lew
ellyn Wilson Fish VS.. the Amos Abb
bolt Co. employers, and United States
Fidelity and Guaranty Co., insurers,
the claim being compensation for loss
of time on account of injuries received
while in the Abbott Co.'S employ on

Skowhegan appeared for the employers
and Lafayette 3. Waldron Of Dexter
for the claimant
Chairman Littlefeld was due in
Calais for A hearing on Thursday but
his train was held up by wreck on
the line near Ellsworth and 1t was
thought that his late arrival and the
fact that the Liberty Loan demonstra-
ton was booked for Thursday evening
would cause the postponement of the
hearing to Friday morning
The case was the claim Of a depend-
ent Of Alice L. Preston. widow of Bert

Chances Good for Golf Club.

Chances Good for Golf Club.
The movement for a Golf Club
in Baxter Springs, on which Edw.
Polster has been working with
his customary energy for the past
few weeks, looks now like it might
be made a go. Mr.. Polster has
about fourteen names of men who
have agreed to get into the game
and a number of others have
shown considerable interest. Mr..
Polster has also been looking up
grounds that is the most serious
problem. He has tentative PROM
ises on two or three tracts but
has not succeeked yet in obtain
ing a definite proposition from
any land owner in the vicinity of
Baxter. Of course the grounds
which will require at least 40
acres, must be within fairly easy
walking distance from the town,
since all who would like to play
could not have access to automo-
biles. Mr.. Polster hopes to soon
have the propositisn reduced to a
basis on which he can give close
to the cost of renting and main
tanning grounds.
Mr.. Polster says that the mis-
conception that golf is a game
solely for the rich is fast disap-
pearing. AS a matter of fact, all
of the implements can be pur-
chased for a $40 bill, perhaps a
little less. One can play the game
with three iron clubs a midiron
at 81, a mashie at So, and aputter
at So, and one wood club a
bassie at $3.50. The total cost
of necessary sticks is $3.50, and
balls can be purchased at Is cents
each. A bag is not necessary but
a serviceable one can be had tor
81. Thus for 1895 one is COM
pletely equipped---until the ball
is lost.
For a combination of fun and
exercise, one cannot find greater
sport than golf.

SCHOOL OPERETTA
VERY SUCCESSFUL
Hall Packed and School Per-
formers Display Remark
able Cleverness.

1Hc pay, AihhSSSo Yin ceAh
themum," given by the Baxter
High school with the aid Of grade
pupils was a decided success.
The curtain raised promptly at
8 o'clock. The opera house was
packed, many people standing up.
Gate receipts amounted to $74.3O.
Many of audience endeavored to
secure another date for the
operetta but it was decided that
the pupils work on another one
to be given soon. The teachers
who assisted in the preparation
of the play should be compli-
mented on their good work. The
cast was as follows:
Princess Chrysanthemum ......
................P Priscilla Wear
Attendant Maidens, E. Dorothy
Smith, Helen Humphrey, Doro-
thy Cook and Dorothy Plumb.
Fairy Moonbeam. Louise Convey
Emperor What-for-Whi. ......
,............B Burton Convey
Prince So Tru =. Cecil Dowty
Prince So Sill. John Browne, Jr.
Top Not, Court Chamberlain.
............. Ralph Pfremmer
Saucer Eyes, the Wizard Cat.
...J James Chubb
Empervr's Attendants ......
...... Arley Shields, Jack Paul
Choruses selected from the
grades composed the Sprites and
Fairies. Saucer Eyes with his
band of Sprites brought much
applause from the audience as
did the Fairies and their leader.
A great deal of natural talent
was displayed by the soloists and
several remarks were made on
the chorus singing. Miss Alice
Smiley, pianist and Coveys'
orchestra deserve much credit
for the smoothness with which
they handled the accompaniment.
Miss Hazel Rowe, musical direct
ress, is to be credited with the
good singing which was produced
as it was her hard labor and
patience that made the operetta
a success. Miss Mabel Rummel,
who drilled the chorus, Sprites
and Fairies, showed tact as a
chorus manager and directress.
Miss Goodwin with the assist
ance of the girls Of the Do
nestle Arts class, the costumes
were made for almost the entire
company. Prof. Twente's skill
in handling the dialogue parts
showed plainly that he knew
what he was about. Cecil Dowty,
who played the part Of So Trn
was taken with tonsilitis just
before the play and it was thot
that another person would have
to be gotten at the last minute.
His throat improved sufficiently
however to enable him to take
part in the program.
