move to Indianapolis next year and have it manufactured and placed on the market. Saturday night was another very cold one lor the time of year, the temperature Sunday morning getting down to 22 degrees, or ten below the freezing point. If such a severe cold,; after all the rest of the freezing since the good old Bummer time iu March, does not make a finish of all the fruit, it must be that it i-. because the bnds this year are made of injuu rubber, or some other very tough substance.

The orchestra concert|by Burch’s orchestra Friday evening brought out only a fair house, but the program was one of the most enjoyable musical events ot the season. Every member was heartily ap plauded. The orchestra’s rendition of “William Tell” was the most artistic-work of the evening. Miss Burch sang one solo in place of one of the regular numbers and was heartily encored. The piccolo solo by E. W. Kinsley was also very enjoyable. Mr. Kinsley is piccolo artist with Spencer’s band and is well knows to our people. He added much to bis already enviable reputation as a piccolo and llnte soloist and he was compelled to respond to an encore. The violin solo, “Hungarian Ithapsodie,” by Mr. Burch was another number that was encored and de servedly too, as Mr. Burch is certainly very clever with the king ot instruments.—El Faso Journal.
