Yeaterday's issue of the Omaha
World-Herald contains a very
graphic account of the convention
of the middle-of-the-road populists
in Washington Hall. The conven
tion was wonderfully unanimous
but after all that is not to be won
dered at as it consisied of one man,
Hon. Lucicn Stcbbins. The Hon'
Lucieu patiently waited for sev
eral hours for a revolt to take place
in the ranks of the fusionistB, as
he was convinced that the populists
would come to a better mind and
not fuse, but he waited in vain and
finally went to sleep in the serene
conciousuess that there wai at
least one good and cousis tent pop
himself.

The Boach & Bowers Minstrola.
One ol the best negro minstrel
performances ever wittucsscd in St.
Joseph was the given by Beach &
Bowers' company at the Crawford
Theatre last night. The Beach &
Bowers company makes no boast of
mastouonic proportions, but it is a
creditable organization throughout
and theshow presented is entertain
ing trom beginning to end. The
show is an exhibition of old-Hum
minstrelsy, with its plantation
songs and dances. The dancing is
better than was ever executed by
Primrose & Wcst'B 60 count them
60 company and there is no room
lor improvement in the singing. A
splendid clog dance turn is done by
somo. man who was introduced by
tnc interlocutor as the "champion
clog mincer in tlm wnrhl l,nt
name is not on the bills. The sonirs
presented in the first part were
mostly, new and were received with
great favor. A funny turn at the
close of the oil, as minstrel men
call it, is the take off on Sousa and
his band. However, Sousa is not a
Frenchman, as James Stewart
seems to believe. One of the most
pleasing features of the performance
i the appearance of the vocal oui
ni
tet in several delightful selection
ls,
The specialty work of Bobby Beac
ch
and Otis Bowers is extremely ludic
rous and in fact there are many
features worthy of extended men
tion, not the least deserving of
which is the performance at the
conclusion by u troupe of trained
dogs under the direction of Bobby
Beach. St. Joe Daily News, Dec,

were swung among the trees and
Mr. Lamplugh initiated the young
people in the mysteries of 'Lo vers'
Lane," "Courtship Avenue" and
"Pop the question Willow." Short
ly after the party reached the lake
a very delicious lunch was served
and just before returning to town
