Ths world renowned Kirksmith
Sisters will present the first program
of the Tuesday Club entertainment
series, on Saturday evening, December
4, at the K. C, opera house. These
young ladies present a program as
varied as it is excellent. Their en
semble work possesses an amount of
harmony and volume that would mark
as a great success a musical organiza
tion with two or three times as many
players. Besides, there are violin and
flute solas, viola and flute duets, and
vocal solas and duets. This company
was one of the features of the Pawnee
City chautauvua, and the Pawnee
City Chief says this of them: “This
is one of the best companies which
has ever visited Pawnee City and the
Chautauqua cannot do better than
secure their services for next season."

something doin’ all the while.”

quarters last Sunday and the mail
delivered there for the first time after
the aruval of the 4:05 train. It is
about as fine a layout in the postoffice
line as can be found anywhere and as

ment buildings in large cities. The
building is nicely finished and the
bright, new fixtures make it an at
tractive as well as comfortable and
commodious office.
