UfflßE CROWD GREETS MID Opera House Is Filled On Night Os Concert And Entertainment 0. you B. & 0. Quartette! Ditto, you Medusa Band! And likewise Prof. Powell, Miss Rapp and Miss Robb. They were all in fine mettle for the entertainment on Thursday night and they all exceeded expectations. The K. of P. opera house accomodated the largest crowd that has filled it in many a day and everyone was pleased with what they saw. The band has shown remarkable improvement and the fear that we would have no band concerts next summer has been disiapated. They played with a confidence that never before had been attained by them and they were ably assisted by the two new members, C. fc E. Bishop and Adrian Whiteman. The leader, E. W. Hire, has been drilling them faithfully for a number of months and it must be a source of gratification to the leader and members of the band to know that”they have so improved and progressed in their playing. The band was well supported by the B. & O. Quartette —A. B. White, W. H. Ray, Chas. Berry and J. W. Richards. They have long sung to us under cover of darkness and this is their first public appearance, but we can safely predict it won’t be their last. That their singing was enjoyed is proved by the numerous encores. Miss Katheryn Rapp was greeted with the usual hearty applause at the conslusion of her solo. She has an exceptionally sweet voice and is a great favorite with Syra* cuse people. In the encore she was assisted bv Harry Richards in the chorus and it made a very pleasing duet. C. E. Bishop and Knox Stetler each played solos with band accompanient and their efforts were loudly applauded. E. W. Hire proved himself a vocalist as well as a player and received several encores. Prof. Powell with his “Feats of Dexterity” has made himself a great favorite with local people and he always will be assured an audience when he cares to display his ability. His work created much mirtli as well as astonishment. The guessing contest was a novelty. Old pictures of Syracuse residents were thrown on a screen with a post card projector and the person guessing the identity of the most pictures was awarded a casserole. Six tied for first place. Slips of paper were placed in a hat with a cross on one. Mrs. Wade Zerbe drew the lucky slip and was awarded the prize. The enterprise was financial success also and the band will clear about $65.00. This will be put in the treasury and they hope to add enough to it to buy uniforms and new music for the coming summer. The entertainment has made a marked difference in the sentiment between the band and business men. It has shown the business men that the band is end eaver iqg to do something with its talent In additi *l it has shown the band that the business men and residents will support it and the band is consequently encouraged to proceed with its practice.

It is directly attributable to generous advertising. Prof. Powell inserted bills in the Journal on all the rural routes and we dare say that he had the largest audience from the rural districts that ever greeted any performance in Syracuse. The large number of people who attended both these exhibitions should open the eyes of some of our non-advertiseres. Ira Gans Injured County Recorder Ira Gans slipped and fell in front of his {home in Warsaw, Monday, and suffered a painful injury to one of his arms. A physician was required to dress the injured member. Public Sale The undersigned will offer for sale at public auction on the J. E.

Have us fix your hot water tank at the slightest sign of trouble. Delay in such a case is almost sure to mean danger as well as annoyance. As a matter of fact, at the beginning is the best time to attend to any plumbing trouble. Call us in then and your plumbing bills will be smaller, though ours are always moderate in any case.

Every day for the pqß weeks it has seemed had reached its high mark but up] until the time this was written, Monday, it still continued to advance. On Monday, wheat brought $1.42 in Syracuse markets. This is the highest price since June of 1888 when Joseph Lieter’s famous attempt to corner the market sent it up to $1.85. Not since civil war time has such prices prevailed this time of year. It is working a hardship on the poorer class of people who depend mainly on bread for sustenance, j There are families in Syracuse who j use as much as three sacks of flour a week and these are the families who feel the price as their money is limited. It is thought that heavy buyingby warring nations is responsible but the Argentine crop is now being harvested and it is probable that this will bring down the price again. An Egg Record Miss Flo Master, who stays at the home of’ Wash” Jones, has kept a record of the eggs produced by 25 hens in 12 months.

A Fish Story We heard a fish story recently that will bear repetition. Two Londoners took a day’s outing along the river and though they had never fished in their life they rented poles and lines to do as others did. They were* rented on the condition that any part of the paraphernalia lost shduld be paid for. They .fished in silence for some time when one asked: “What’s the name of the bloomin’ thing that floats on top?” He, was informed that it was the bobber. “Well,” said he, “I’ll have to pay for the bloody thing, for mine’s sunk.”" Ran Out Os Dope Harry Hosley, a wandering barber, who was employed at the Sleppy barber shop for some time several months ago, returned to town last week and slept in the city bastile, Friday night. When Marshall Hire went to release him and a hobo who had also taken shelter there for the night he found Hosley half crazy and raving. The man is a dope fiend and when deprived of this article his nerves gave way. He was taken to the county farm Saturday. Mahion Rohrer Dead Mahion Rohrer, aged 45 years died at his home two miles north of Millersburg Thursday evening of Bright’s disease after an illness of two weeks. He had been ailing however, for the past year. Surviving him are his wife and one daughter, a brother and three sisters. Dyspepsia Tablets Will Relieve Your Indigestion F. L. Hoch. AUCTIONEER Cal. L.
