Very Successful Bazaar.
The Ladies' Aid society and the
Sunshine. Hand gave their annual
bazaar at the church last Satur
day, and when we say that it was
a very successful affair we very
mildly speak the truth, for when
the very inclement weather is
taken into consideration, we be
lieve it was more than a success.
The rain began falling about noon
and continued all afternoon and
evening, and in spite of that, fact
the attendance was quite large
and t be olTerings of the many very
pretty articles made by Ihe ladies
brought, good prices, Hie total re
ceipts of Hie affair being about
7"). Ilutli dinner and supper
were served, which netted Hie
ladies a good sum. Owing to the
bad weather ami the light at
tendance, many articles were com
pelled to be placed up at auction,
but they brought fair prices. Nad
the weather been more favorable
there is no doubt but that the
! ladies would have taken in con
siderably over $100.

W. W. Hamilton, Murray's boss
carpenter, was in the county seat
Tuesday, going up to consult the
Woodmen in regard to the con
tract on the new hall. After reach
ing Hie county seat Hilly came to a
different conclusion on the sub
ject, believing that the work was
in the territory of Plaltsmouth
contractors, and returned homo
without making a bid upon tho
work.
Gilbert Atlee Eldredge.
Mr. Eldredge presents a widely
varied, artistic and popular re
pertoire of costumed interpreta
tions of high order, changing
quickly from Ihe humorous to the
pathetic, and from the dramatic to
the sentimental. His line of work
reaches all classes, from those
who like the subtle humor of good
old "David llaruni" to the ad
mirers of the trauedy, "Julius
Caesar." lie is scheduled as one
of Hie numbers of our
course, to be at the Presbyterian
church Monday, evening, Decem
ber 1H.
A howl went up and I jumped o
suppress the rowdies on Ihe front
row, when 1 saw a solemn-faced
old woman coming down Hie stage
and I knew. the "front row" had
caught on. Hut where was Shy
look? Where was F.ldredgc?
(tone as completely as though
neither had any relation to the
other. True, all were about, the
same height and had a somewhat
similar face, but there was noth
ing to remind you that they were
one. Character after character,
from the wiggly boy to the giggly
girl; the money-loving Shylock,
shrewd David Ilarum, Hie gossipy
old woman and the man who lived
in Ihe past, they came before us
that night. Hut we never saw
Kldredge, Not after his acknowl
edgement of his introduction till
his dual "good night" was he any
where about. Lincoln McCon-nell.
Mos of Mr. Kldredge' h ' im
personations are done in costume.
II is changes from an old man to a
short -trousered school boy with
Ihe earache were startling in their
realism. His perfect control of
his facial expression adds great
ly to the charm of. his work. Of
Hie dozen or more characters he
represented, not one could be
picked out as Ihe best elTort of the
evening, all being so cleverly
handled. F.vory number on his
program could he given special
mention, and it will be a long
lime before Hie entertainment is
duplicated. Peoria Star, Decem
ber 21, 190'.).
Mr. Kldredge moved his audi
ence to laughter and tears alter
nately, ah or nis impersona
tions were very original and
showed Mr. Kldredge at his best.
Should he over visit this city
ogain ho will bo assured of oven a
larger house than he had last
Friday. Menominee (Wisconsin)

XMAS THOUGHTS
' We suggest the following list of useful gifts for men:
To the Busted 'Phone.
Close to the wall they limply lay,
Cihaslly chunks of human clay;
The last mournful song of life
he'd sung,
Eyes bulged out and a busted lung.
Sad human wreck, dead as n stone,
He'd tried to talk over a bum old
'phone.
All Heating Stoves will be sold
at a discount from now on, as we
must have the space. Also special
prices on Quick Meal Ranges.'
These prices are subjoct to stock '
on hand. Come early and take
'your choice. John Bauer.
