was applauded by a roar of hand

Agnes Knollieek added much to
the pleasure of the large audi
ence. Miss Hales has a rich
ing of her eyelids betoken that
her musical soul is stirred. Not a
rustle of the audience was heard
throughout her playing, and al
though her slight arm must havo
been weary and her tiny fingers
ached, she responded to an encore
gracefully. Miss Kiltie Cummins
played the accompaniment for
both Miss Hates and Miss
Knollieek. As an accompanist
Miss Cummins plays the piano
with an artist's hand; her
is always subordinated to the
soloist's music, and her rendition
of I)e Heriot's Concerto No. 9 last
evening was a brilliant perform
ance, as the accompaniment is as
difficult as the solo itself. Her
playing was greatly appreciated
by the audience and she was I he
recipient of a tine bouquet of
flowers.
The band played three numbers
after Miss Knoflicck's selections.
"Fifty Miles From Huston" and i
"Our Clorious Flag" both brought t
.prolonged applause.
The program as a whole was
one well calculated to impress the
music-admiring public of the
merit and versililily of the Hur

may well feel proud of the grand
musical organization, and we hope
it will give another of its pleasing
concerts before long.

A. J. Anderson of Union Desirous
of Knowing Name of His
Wife Before Adoption. j
From Friday's Dally.
A. J. Anderson of Union called
at Ihe office of the secretary of
slate yesterday to examine ter
ritorial legislative acts in Ihe hope
cf finding verification of the re
port that his wife's name had been
hanged by an act of Hie legis
lature at a lime when Ihe legis
liture of Nebraska had such
fower. This power is now vested
1 district courts.
Mr. Anderson married Ihe ad
apted daughter of Rev. A. L. Fol
den, u pioneer Methodist preacher,
trho died recently at Nebraska
City. Mr. Anderson alleges that
bis wife was the only legally ad
cpled child of Rev. Mr. Folden and
be desires lo prove that she is
beir to the small amount of prop
erty he left.
Mrs. Anderson was known as
Minnie Folden. She was born in
1857 und was adopted when she
ns 18 months old. Rev. Folden
ill that lime lived at Ihe village of
Wyoming. Otoe county. In
vestigation of the legislative acts
disclose two acts changing names,
but none has yet heen found
trumping Ihe original name of
ITinnie Folden. Mrs. Anderson
, does not know her original name
is anxious to discover it.
I jnroln Journal.
What Causes It?
The man who travels much
oxer Nebraska is struck by the
large number of packages he sees
in Ihe railroad depots that come
direct from the big mail order
houses. Many of these are direct
ed to residents of town, although
the major portions goes to the
farmers. This lias given rise lo
the speculation whether or not
this isn't due. to unprogressive
ness on Ihe part of many country
merchants. Much is made in dis
cussions of (his question of the
superior buying ability of Ihe
catalogue houses, but it is in
sisted by men who ought to know
that their selling cost is above
that of the country merchant. Not
an inconsiderable amount of the
selling cost is consumed in ad
vertising, the printing of costly
catalogues. Some small town
merchants have taken the hint,
and advertise intelligently. They
are not suffering much from mail
order competition. Newspapers
will doubtless be accused of using
this fact for self-serving pur
poses, hut it is a cohl fact never
theless. Lincoln Evening News.

A recent dispatch from Kt.
Louis gives lite following account
of a floating theater on the lower
Missouri, witlt indications that
the towns along Hie upper Mis

has just sailed up the Missouri

thousand dollars to the owners
ami to the delectation of the folk
of the river towns. It was Hie
lirst lime a river theater had ever
gone into (lie Missouri.
"And now the owners of all the
show-boats on the Mississippi are
wondering why none of them ever

They are all planning to go up the

can get. Hut to the company of

"Many of the towns and illages
along the Misouri are miles from

on the 'Wonderland' was the first
they had ever been in and the play
was Ihe lirst they had ever seen.
"The steam calliope on the up

echoed from the river bluffs in one

holidays decided that they would

accordingly Ihe heads of the dif

to that effect. Mr. Smith did not
have good luck with his turkey
crop last year, the summer being
so dry. Hut the river was open
and fishing good, and it was nol
long before our old friend had a
1 --pound cattish ready for Ihe
oven. Accordingly, on Christmas
day, Ihe Smith dining table was
graced with roast catfish and six
large, well roasted chickens, and
side dishes ill proportion. Eight
grandchildren were present, and
two others, when I hey learned
there would be no turkey, wrote
their grandpa that I bey could not
come. A tine Christinas tree was
erected in the parlor and laden
with presents for the members of
the families. It was a, jolly family

Firo at Judge Beeson's Home.
From Wediicaday'd Dally.
Yesterday afternoon while cele
brating the 7 (Mb birthday of
(irandina Ifeeson, Judge Hecson's
mother, at the Judge's home on
North Fifth street, a fire was
started, which hut. for the timely
work iiml presence of mind of the
Judge's wife, might have been
quite serious. A few friends had
been invited in to assist Mrs, Hr.e
son, sr., to celebrate her birthday,
and the Christinas decorations
were allowed lo remain over and
the children wanted (irandina to
see the tree illuminated, so the
candles were lighted. In some
way the lace curtain nearby
caught lire and this spread to a
fine rug. The lire was ex
tinguished with a pail or two of
water, hut the curtains and the
rug were badly scorched in fact,
they were destroyed. The fire was
put out and the excitement was
over before the Judge, who was at
the ofllre, was notified of the
danger lo his home.
