Another Large Performance- Andience A Good -Last Exhibition. Lee and his company of hypno- i tists gave their fourth exhibition at the opera house last night ' to another large audience. The pro gramme consisted of new features and the audience was highly en tertained throughout the evening. The special scenes were the sleigh ride in which Mr. Maupin took the part of the gentleman and Fred Roueche imagined himself a fair young damsel. They courted and made love and, finally the lady consented to a kiss. The balloon ascension was great; the boys en tered the basket and were carried above the clouds, then they soared above Niagara Falls and on over lake Erie. Here the balloon be gan to descend and the boys, fear ing they would be dashed into the water, donned their shoes and coats and plunged into the lake (jumped and fell flat on the stage floor) and swam ashore. In this scene the motion of the legs and arms of the imaginarv swimmers were perfect. The printing oflice scene was really an exact repro duction of daily happenings in this oflice. The remarks of the sup posed typesetter (who is a com positor) were familiar to the mem bers of the craft who were pres ent. His exclamation when drop ping his rule: "Tramp printer coming," has been repeated thous ands of times in every office in the country, as a printer considers the dropping of his composing rule as a sure'sign of the approach of a travelling typo. Mr. Lee advertised that, ho would build a human wood pile out of men of our city and last night he f uifilled'that promise to the letter The-' men were put 4n a cataleptic state (made as stiff as a corpse) then piled up like a stack of crossties. This afternoon a matinee was given especially for the benefit pf the ladies who wished to go upon the stage and test the experiment of hypnotism. To-night the engagement of this popular company closes here and , they will no doubt have a crowded house. Mr. Lee announced last night that if requested to-night he would repeat any scene which he had given during his engagement here. For genuine fun these exhibi tionscant be surpassed.

Statesville is laundry. to have a steam Notice to Water Consumers. To the Citizens of Salisbuky : I desire to call the attention of the citizens to the fact that the habit of leaving the water spickets open and allowing the water to run all the time so as to prevent the pipes from freezing, is greatly endanger ing the property of every citizen in town. The pressure in the stand-pipe is so much lessened that in case of fire late at night it would be impossible to get the necessary, pressure to control the fire. Iks sides, with; 100 or more spickets open, direct pressure from the pumps will not be sufficient to overcome the trouble. It is ear nestly hoped that the citizens will heed this warning, before some disastrous fire occurs and much property destroyed in our town. Very resp'y, T. C.
