Band Out of Money; Will Give Box Social Thursday.

The Rensselaer Boys’ Band will give another of their enjoyable box socials Thursday night of this week at the armory. They are unexpectedly out of money and are generally able to procure some by giving a box social that winds up with a ball. They had expected to get $l5O out of the horse show committee, but the committee was not very flush of money at the wind up of their affairs and the band only got SIOO The loss of the SSO which they had counted upon is assigned by Prof Otto Braun and Manager Don Wright as the cause of the present depleted condition of their treasury. Tbe Republican has often said that the boys’ band is the best investment musically we have ever had and we still think so. The band has its band room to rent, its instructor to pay, new music to buy and other expenses and. the public should be glad to help them out when the need the money. At the box social all get value received. Bring a box and enjoy yourself. „
