ly necessary for us to taly space
here to give the program, or to
comment tit kngth upon It. The ap
preciation of the audience as the
various numbers were rendered was
shown by repeated encores. The
Slagttlg by the club was fine, Mr.
Greenslk's eornet ( .o was w ell re
colvKl, "The Bottleiet s" by Messrs.
Munter, Fulmer, New kirk, Tuttle,

the whistling solo by Mr. Tuttle was
as entertaining as It was rare, and
the quartet, "Crossing the Bar ", by
MscaatS. Humelhart, Johnson, Grs - i

the postal savings system of Alii
Mice's beting the important financial
and business center of western Ne
braska. The postal sowings system has now
been in operation for one year in
forty-eight offices, and for a shorter
period in others. It is proving a suc
cess. The deposits aggregate $11,
00,000.00 in the United States. .n
eional and sta'.e bankers have found
that these lnstitutlcna are not a
menace to their business as they at
first fei.nd, and are withdrawing
their opposition to their operation.
It has been f'lund that no deposits
have been withdrawn from local
banks, but that practieally all of the
