BURGLAR RANSACKS
MILLER'S CIGAR STORE

The cigar store of Charles +. Miller
on Main street was broken into at
about 2 o'clock Wednesday morning
and tobacco and premiums to the value
! of about $25 were taken. The robber
! iimmied his way through two locked
and bolted doors, and opened the case
which contained the premiums in the
same way. The most value was in
number of watches, chains and rings
which are given as premiums for to-
bacco tags The fellow also took three
dozen packages of tobacco. The time
/ of the break is fixed by the people
who live over the store as about ?
o'clock. They had set UP until 100 and
/ had been in bed but a short time when
/ they heard a noise down stairs but
cid not investigate it at the time.
When they found out about the break
7 in the morning they connected the two
and were thus able to place the time
/ fairly accurately. The fellow came in
through the alley way at the back OF
the store and opened the outside door
I and then an inner one by the use of
what to the officers looked like the
Jimmy used by professional store
breakers There were marks on differ
4 ent places along the door showing that
! he had tried it until he got the jimmy
behind the bolt when the door had
been forced open by tearing out the
fastenings of the bolt 1t is the opinion
of Mr.. Miller that he must have been
| frightened away as there were num-
! Der of valuable pipes within easy reach
| Of where he stood. At one side of the
store is a well-knoWn sign of a man
J life size, one of those signs that al
ways seem as though the eyes We're
! looking straight at you. The way the
! sign is placed looking at it as the fell
| low would from his position behind
the show case it would appear to be
a man crouched behind the telephone
booth. Mr.. Miller feels confident that
| it was this sign that frightened the
robber away. City Marshal Robinson
was called as soon as the break was
discovered Wednesday morning and
was able to get some good finger
print impressions from the show case
and also to obtain an outline of the
feet of the man as he had walked
through the ashes in coming into the
store and the outlines of his shoes
were perfectly marked on the floor.
With these to work on the police hope
to be able to land the man who is re-
sponsible.

CHAPMAN CONCERT
Waterville Opera House, Tuesday Eve
ming, January %, 1917.

The Chapman Concert, with Mr. Louis
Graveure baritone: Miss Eleanor Paint
er, soprano, and Mr.. Samuel Gardner,
violinist, is the talk Of the town. Tick
cts are selling like hot cakes, and well
they might, for no such concert has been
given outside Of the Maine Music Fest-
val. Society has suspended all functions
for that evening, and the audience Will
be a most representative one in the
Opera House that evening. Those who
have not secured their tickets should
make applications at once. 1t is need
less to speak of Mr.. Graveures art as
he is in a class by himself, and is the
; man of the hour in all of the large cities
of America today. 1t surely seems al
most like the impossible to have Mr..
Chapman bring him, Miss Painter and
Mr.. Gardner to our very doors, yet that
is what is going to happen ON Tuesday
evening, Jan. %, 1917.
Eleanor Painter, his wonderful wife, is
known to the musical world as a fine
opera singer. She has just Joined her
husband in the concert field, and her
solo work and duet work with Mr..
Graveure caused the greatest sensation
ever witnessed In Maine at a Festival
when thunderous applause rewarded
their efforts. They will be heard in two
of their biggest duets, beside twelve
songs. All these selections are to be
sung in English with the exception Of
two arias, the "Paglacci' and Herodiade
They are the most popular OF. his entire
repertoire of over 300 songs, and will
take the people right off their seats Do
not fail to make early applications for
seats, for hundreds will likely be dsap-
pointed on the night Of the concert. At
the last series of Mr.. Graveures recitals
IN Chicago. New York and Boston. they
were obliged to put 300 chairs on the
stage to accommodate the audience. Mr.
Samuel Gardner, the vio1inist. will be
a special feature on this program. His
playing has aroused the greatest enthus-
iasm at his recitals, and we can feel
highly honored to have such wonderful
vioinist visit our town in connection
with the other artists. --Advt

His many friends in this city will be
very sorry to see him go but will re-
&c with him in his success.
