Whole Number 1874

Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Mosier received
word on Wednesday that Mrs. E. Il.
Downing underwent a serious oper-
alton in a Chicago hospital the first
of the week. The operation was sue
cessful, and the patient is getting
along nicely, the message said.
Commissioner T.. " Root has reason
to feel proud of his vote on Monday
last. His name was on the state ballot
with no opposition. The fact that he
had much larger vote than any other
candidate on the ticket shows that
many people went out of their way
to express their appreciation of Mr..
Roots untiring efforts in the interest
of the schools of Van Buren, county.
Full returns on the county vote on
supervisors are not available as we go
| to press, but the political complexion
of the next board will be decidedly
republican. Sheldon Coleman comes
back from Antwerp, Frank Cleveland
from Arlington, Ben Schamahorn
from Bloomingdale, and John Gault
defeated Ed Chase in Waverly. A
telegram to The True Northerner
from Postmaster Burlingame Of Ban
gor on the evening of election how
ever, stated that Supervisor Burger
was reelected by majority of 218.
SO the democratic party will be well
represented on the board.
The "Bewildering Miss Felicia" will
play to crowded house tonight.
Practically every seat on the main
,, floor is already reserved and nothing
but the gallery remains. No seats
will be reserved for Saturday night
until tomorrow morning, and those
who are unable to get seats tonight
will have an opportunity to enjoy this
Interesting performance the second
night. "The Bewildering Miss Felicia"
| is a play out of the ordinary. and
something entirely different from the
usual run of plays. All the parts
are played by Female characters, and
| it will be a Scream" from start to
finish. Here we have the most pathetic
of love scenes, but not lover in
sight. Adaline Paisley has a most
devoted lover who has written his be-
loved love letter every day for the
past twenty years, Grain or Shine"
Mrs. Hippolytus Biddle has her lover,
who visits her often, but is never
seen by the inquisitive eyes of her
lady friends in Lilac. Finally her
secret is disclosed and "He" proves to
be "Only a Dummy" Mrs. Douglas
goes on her wedding tour alone, and
has real good time. Mrs. Mdrray's
lover has been dead these twenty
years, but she "Loved Him Truly.
Mehitable Oggsby, poor thing, has to
cook and eat for ten men every day;
but still has time to screech Hannah
Jane" from morning until night.
Aunt Sally is a good old soul, but
tries to boss everybody, even the
French Maid, direct from Paris, who
will not be bossed. Little Miss Free
dom never had a name because it took
all the good names for the cats and
dogs. Mrs. Addison has troubles all
her own but comes out with flying
colors. Miss Norma never had a
lover. but would like one. Miss Lu-
cretia Long just loves her giggle and
her sack of peppermint candy. Mrs.
Jose thinks that most men were not
intended to work and discovers that
she can't control even her own feet.
Miss Felicia, a charming girl. comes
to the village and occupies her old
grand fathers house which has been
vacant for over twenty years and is
supposed to be haunted. Miss Felicia
does not believe all she hears and with
her retinue of servants takes possess
ion. BY kindness she wins the love
of all. The scene is laid in the village
of Lilac just after the close Of the
Civil War, and the entire cast will
appear in costumes of that period.
The different parts are filled by just
the right person for her particular
character who will try her best to
please you.
