$1,000 FIRE
Madison Mill and Fur
niture Store Room
Blaze Starts About 5 O'clock Thurs.
day Morning - Origin Thought to
Have Been Cigarette Stub

Madison, Me-, April THE planning
mill of Harry Hagopian with its con-
tents was destroyed by fire about S
o'clock this morning. The fire was
first seen by Mrs. Foss as she was at
work in the F'oss restaurant. Alarm
was promptly given and although the
fire station was nearby and the de-
partment responded promptly the
whole building was a roaring mass of
flames when they arrived and but lit
tie could be done toward saving the
building itself. The bill was a large
two story wooden structure located
just back of the Blackwell Block on
Main street and close by are a num-
Der of large wooden buildings, max
ing a bad fire trap. Had there been
any wind nothing could have saved a
large section of Main street from de-
struction. AS it was the Blackwell
Block caught fire on the roof several
times and the heat was so intense
that the sides of other buildings close
by were blackened Blazing shingles
dropped on the roof of the Simonds
garage, the old Smell house back of
the Mckenzie Block, and the store
occupied by the Waugh pool room
and barber shop. These were prompt
ly extinguished by volunteer watch
crs.
The upper story of the north end of
the mill was occupied by bowling al
leys and six pool tables. In the base
ment of the mill was stored a guam
tity of seasoned hard wood lumber.
The building was closed at II o'clock,
Wednesday evening and the fire when
first seen was breaking through the
roof. The origin of the fire is I'M
known, but it may have been caused
by cigarette of cigar stub thrown
carelessly down. A small wooden
building adjoining the mill and occu-
pied by the Madison Furniture Com
pany as a store room for furniture
and it's auto truck was also badly gut
ted. Hagopian's loss is estimated at
$4,000 with an insurance of $500. It
lis also reported that Mr.. Hagopian
has $4,000 more insurance with down
river company.
The loss of the Madison Furniture
Company is estimated at $4,000 and
will be fully covered by insurance.

chas. x. champlin Stock Company to
Appear at the Opera House All
Next Week. Matinee Every Day

Last season the .Chas. K. Champ
lin Stock Company appeared at the
Opera House and what happened
! then is a matter of local theatrical
history, Previous to it's appearance.
| the Opera House had made many
claims for it, claims that in some
cases were regarded as being far
fetched and exaggerated. But after
the very opening day of the Champ
lin organization there was no longer
any doubt as to it's worth. There
fore, the Opera House today has no
hesitancy in asserting that with
out any preadventure the Chas. X
Champlin Stock Company is absolute
monarch of all similar organizations
in America. For a score of years Mr..
! Champlin has steadily perfected ev-
cry one of the innumerable details in
cumbent upon the successful handling
of stock company. Last season it
did not seem possible for any stock
organization to be representative of a
more utter perfection than the re-
markable degree that Mr.. Champlin
and his players evidenced
Yet today, with another year gone
the Opera House predicts that the
| overwhelming success that greeted
the Champlin players last season
Will be trivial in comparison to even
the welcoming greeting that will be
theirs at the Opera House next week.
For one thing the repertoire of
plays are arranged more skillfully
than last year, if such a thing is pos
siblc, and there have been changes in
the cast that are sure to be favorable
! ones. Mr.. Champlin has selected
Daddy Long Legs" as the opening
I play and his rare good judgment is
| bound to be borne out before even
/ the matinee is over. Daddy Long
Legs" was for a long season the
reigning triumph in New York where
Henry Miller and Ruth Chatterton
made such a tremendous success. IT
! is a clean appealing story with de-
ilclous humor, tense situations and a
happy and altogether charming end
! ing. In the repertoire are 1.-The Grim
son Alibi," "Cappy Kicks" "The
House of Guilt" 1.-THE Unmarried
Mother" Broadway JONES'" kick
In" and Broken Threads"
/ Reserved seat sale starts at noon
/ today and the box office will remain

/ irons desiring. the best seats should
be on hand early as last season the

It's worth your while to read what a

the nerve and brain cell builder that
Bither and other leading druggists
sell so much of these days He writes:
Let those who are weak, thin, ner-
vous, anemic or rundown, take natu-
raj unauthorized substances such as
Bitro- Phosphate and you will soon see
some astonishing results in the in
crease of nerve energy and strength
of body and mind"
Bitro-Phosphate is pure, organic
phosphate such as good physicians
prescribe to increase weight and create
abundant nerve force
CAUTION: Although Bitro -Phos-
phate is an excellent aid in relieving
weak, nervous conditions, its use is not
advised unless increased weight IL de-
