Sidney versus North Platte
On Monday and Tuesday afternoons
of noxt week tho Sidnoy nnd Noith
Platto hall teams will try conclusions

defeated North Platto this season with
out, as most of our pcoplo believe, hav
ing a license to do so. It thercforo fol
lows that tho games will bo full of gin
ger, and will p-obnbly bo ns good ex

A Splendid Entertainment.
Misses Josio and Anna O'Hara pre
sented their musical extravaganza last
ovening to an audience that moro than
filled tho seating capacity of tho Keith
theatre From tho opening number
"Meet Mo in Rose Timo, Rosio, with
tho six dancing girls in front, a bovy of
pretty -girl faces peeping through tho
open petals of roses sot in a back
ground of black and n dozon summer'
dressed young men surmounting tho
background, through to tho closing
numbor, "My Own United States."
produced with considerable allegorical
splendor, tho audience was entertained
in u manner that no previous home
entertainment had equalled.
There were ten numbers on tho pro
gram, not ono of which wbb dull, in
fact all were so bright, tho settings so
pretty that each received merited en
cores. The clown song by a half
dozen boys in costume, with false
faces on tho back of thoir heads,
proved a decided hit, "Cnpid'B Tele
phone" ns portrayed by Carl Abraham-
Hon and a dozon or more young
ladies was a bright pretty stunt, and
tho Dream of fairyland, partictpatou
in by fifty children with Holon Walte-
math as queen, nppeaieu strongly to
thoso who admiro child acting, and
that means everybody. Especially
pretty were tho Fisher Maidens, in
which tho maidens looked most be
witching in their summer costumes, with
fishing rods, to tho line of which first
dangled a fish then a red heart and the
music, with Miss Clinton as soloist,
had a catchy jingle that won the
audience.
"I Love my Wife, ButOh, You Kid,"
as carried out by Miss Seyferth, Mrp.
George Schatz and Messrs. Clinton and
McGovern nnd in which Miss Seyferth
appeared as tho coquette proved ono of
tho best numbers, and was followed by
"Bootrie-Boo." in which a dozon tots
nnnoared in "nitrhties." aud with Eliz.
abeth Weir as soloist, told of tho boogy
man.
A four-character sketch, in which
Mrs. Georcre Schatz, Miss Alma Wal-
tomath, Richmond Birgo and Guy Rob
inson appeared as tne porraycrs
showed up tho much malign ou motner-in-law.
in nn amusing manner, followed
by tho "Glow Worm" in which Miss
C uiton and Mr. Munger appeared as
principals, supported by a chorus, in
which pretty electrical etlects were
used. "Tho Fair Coed", a very catchy
song, with Frank McGovern as soloist
and the young men with thoir guitars
and mandolins, brouorht lortn tne coeds,
from their summer habitation, mo
wholo presenting a very pretty scene.
Tho nrocram closed with "My Own
United States".
To Miss Josio O'Haro, who directed
tho music, and Miss Anna O Hare, who
looked after thti stngo settings and
drills, groat credit is due, in fact thoy
demonstrated an ability in mat direct
ion that cannot bo too highly compli
mented. Fo" over n month they
worked zealous v for tho success of tho
production, and certainly th result at-
