The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers were the first to take advan tagc of thccloso of the Lenten season, tand Monday night Phelan's opera house was crowded to the galleries. The pro grains announced an "electric hall" and the electric illumination certainly warranted the title. Festooned from the city were -brilliant lights of every hue, and across the stage was the word welcome in frosted glass bulbs, while on the stage back of the music, was a model engine witli its big electric headlight, and signal lights of green, indicating that this No. 2 was not the last of the events. The engine is the work of the engineers and the machin ist at tho Achcson hardware whore it was made. It will hereafter embellish the B. of L. E. hall. yuick's Orchestra from Lincoln, fur. nished the music, and it was at its best. Prof. Bartz bade the guests welcome in a brief address. Perhaps the most novel and entertaining, feature of the affair was the entertainment fur nished after each dance. Tho hall was darkened and a scries of niavfng pictures were turnetl on tnc screen, or in lieu of these, were illustrated songs. A novel and commendable inovation, as entertainment, was fur nished for those who do not dance, as well as those who do. The entire affair was a grand success. The com mittees in charge of the affair were as follows: REFRESHMENTS C. B. Hancock, chairman; C. F. Chirk, I. LI. Huston. RECEPTION C. O. Davenport, chairman; J. E. Cook soy, R. J. Deitline, S. W.

The announcement that the Colum bia Opera Co., will be seen at the Phclan opera house, Saturday and Monday nights, April 29 and May 1, will be received with pleasure by all classes of our theatre goers. The label of approval has been(placed upon the company by critical audiences every where, and the company engaged in the productions is a capable collection of artists. It is indeed a pleasure to offer sincere commendation to an or ganization so delightlully free from those features which too often mar farce comedy productions, and such an opportunity is offered in speaking of C. N. Holmes' Columbia Co. This is the kind of an entertainment to which s -Old King Cole was such a merry old soul because his throne was covered with one of Richardson's Superlative Carpets. Old KinColepg& was a menyJS old soul people can take their whole families, so parent and' child can laugh together in enjoyment. Operas to be rendered are "Erminie" or "Two Vagaboudr" on 1 Saturday night and on Monday night "Said Pasha." Neither one has ever been rendered in Alliance, and no better comic operas are produced. Scats now on sale at Holsten's. Banquet Tor Phclan. , On tho arrival of 41 last Sunday, a number of friends oi J. K. Phclan met he and Mrs. Phelau 'to welcome home the general superintendent, who had left a week before, a division sup erintendent. The promotion is an un solicited honor, and as Jim Hill was never known to play fovorites, it is safe to assume that no belter man in the scrvicowas available," which speaks volumes for Mr. Phclan as a railroad mam k. ' 111 oidor to fittingly commemorate the occasion, Mr. Pliolan will bo tho guest of honor at a banquet to be ten dered him tomorrow night at the Stecn Cafe. Fifty covers will be laid, and as the affair is beiifg managed by E. C. McCleur, Dr. Knight, Fred Holstein and Dr. Bcttlcheim. Tho best will be none to good fcr tho new General Superintendent.
