confident that an unprejudiced judg

Frank Mahara's Minstrels
This . big colored minstrel show will
play at the Phclan opera house one
night, Thursday, Dec. 17. There are
twenty-five performers in the company,
traveling in their own special car.
They carry a splendid brass band and
orchestra. Give a street parade at
noon and the press everywhere speak
of them in terms of high praise for the
excellence of tho performance. To
make the special jump from Crawford
and returning to go east over the Elk
horn, is an expensive undertaking but
believing that Alliance will give them a
good patronage is why they are going
to do it. Everybody will get the full
worth of their money from attending
this great minstrel show Thursday
night, pec. 17.
Mrs. H. G, Holdcn arrived from
Sterling, Colo., Tuesday for a few days
visit at her parental home.
