Return Performance.
In The Journal of Saturday notice
was made of the excellent program
given at the Majestic theatre in the
presentation of the Belle Gunness
pictures and a lecture by Mr. Wal
lace, who Is in charge of them.
Is a pleasure to announce that this
lecture and the pictures will be re
peated this evening and tomorrow
(Saturday) night. Owing to th
miserable weather which prevailed
at the date of the last showing of
these pictures, the attendance was
limited and for this reason a return
date was arranged. The pictures are
marvels of accuracy and present
many of the features of the greatest
series of crimes in modern years
Including scenes around the Gunness
farm near LaPorte, Ind., the trial
of Ray Lamphere for the murder
of Belle Gunness and pictures
many of the principals and victims.
The lecture of Mr. Yallaee is highly
interesting and worthy of close at
tentlon. He is a fluent talker and
has the facts of his case at his fin
gcr's ends. In addition there is the
usual line of pictures and fine sing'
ing. These pictures with Mr. Wal
lace's lecture hold the bonrds at the
Majestic tonight and Saturday night

The early part of the evening was
spent in various games and music,
after which the dining room was
thrown open and the guests invited
in and seated at tables prettily de
corated. It is quite needless to say
ought of the "eatens." They were
prepared by the Past Chief's and
were thoroughly up to the standard.
The supper was enlivened by the
gueBts toasting the Past Chiefs.
The toasts were something quite out
of the ordinary.
One of the best features of the
affair was the feeling of good fel
lowship which the occasion aroused
and the hearty wish expressed that
such spreads "be given oftner."
Following the banquet the re
mainder of the evening was spent in
dancing and other amusements.
The husbands of the Past Chiefs
have requested that their thanks be

that organization for the superb sup

on their behalf that it was one
which could not be excelled. Never

north of the city, came to town with
a fine specimen of what someone
told Ed. was a genuine Rocky Moun

the bird at his home on Platte bot

for mounting. Learning that thi.4
strange and unusual fowl had bees
killed in this neighborhood, Ed. got

The members of the choir of the

ed in a most delightful manner by
Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Farley last even
ing. The members of the choir al
ways expect a fine time when Mr.
and Mrs. Farley make it known that
they will have "a feed" and expec
tations were fully realized in the en
tertainment of last evening.
The usual practice was Indulged
in for a few hours after which var
ious amusements and social chat
were thoroughly enjoyed. The de
licious oyster supper and its accom
paniments provided was not the
least appreciated of the many de
lightful things provided by the
thoughtful host and hostess for the
entertainment of their guests. The
only regret expressed was that these
occasions are so few and far be

like that on him, is drawing it mild'.
He took the fowl out presumably to
have it mounted and then hired a
small boy to make way with it. Tha
small boy took it to William Holly
who sent it to the Journal and the
story was out. Mr. Clugey waa
