SIX GIRLS WHO
SING MID PLAY
The Dunbar Singing Orchestra
It Big Feature of Chau
tauqua Week.
PUYING POPULAR MUSIC.
They Filled More Than Sixty Chau
tauque Engagements in the Larger
Cities of Four States—Also a Ly
ceum Attraction.
There are six girls in the Dunbar
Singing Orchestra, one of the five
musical companies that appears here
Chautauqua Week.
This Orchestra was organized three
or four years ago by Mr. Ralph Dun
bar. who is at the head of the de
partment of organization in the Red
path Lyceum Bureau.
The idea in the organization of this
rompany was the presenting of a
class of popular music that could be
appreciated by everyone, and, at the
same time, was so perfect from a
thoroughly artistic standpoint that
there would be no unfavorable criti
cisms from those of strong musical
tastes and keen musical appreciation
and understanding.
The company succeeded from the
first and it is little wonder.
There w as a careful selection of the j
best musicians, capable of becoming
a strong part of a singing organiza
tion as well as orchestra. The com
bination of the two—the trained voices
and the instruments—gave variety
and the character of the work brought
applause.
Last summer the Dunbar Singing
Orchestra appeared in more than
sixty large Chautauquas of I ova,
Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin
and las* winter, they filled almost a
hundred engagements on the Lyceum
platform.
They are known in many places they
will visit this summer.
It is one of the strongest and one
of the extremely popular of the newer
musical organizations.
A Company That’s “Standard.”
The Litchfield Trio, which is to be
here Chautauqua Week, is one of the
oldest Lyceum and Chautauqua at
tractions that is known today.
They wrote a little sketch, which
they present week-days, Down at
Brook Farm. It made them famous.
They have been presenting that for
ten years. In America, in England,
and on the continent of Europe.
It is a pretty and laughable thing
, that won applause from the first, the
beauty of It being, of course, its pe
culiar and charming adaptation to
those who filled the parts. They fit
i ted In so well. It was written by
j them for them.
Every seven days, the Litchfields
present a Sunday program as beauti
ful and as appropriate as the week
day program is entertaining.
Their music on Sunday is sacred
music.
It is one of the most popular Lyceum
and Chautauqua attractions, or they
could not hare been successful nil
these jeers.

News of the Railroads
Kearney to Beloit Road May
L Soon be Under Way ^
Suggestion That the Sante Fe May
Be Behind the Project Is
Made at Beloit
State Journal. July. 18,—By the end
of this month tiie Dakota, Kansas &
Gulf railroad expects to have secured
pledges from the precincts along its
proposed line between Kearney and
Beloit of $150,000, the sum of $108,000
having been voted already. The bond
issues have been voted with the un
derstanding that the bonds are not to
.je delivered until the road is com
plete. Construction is planned to
commence October 1.
Mr. Jenkins, representing the Lon
don syndicate that is dealing with
ihe road, has rented a home at Kear
ney and will move there for a period
of three years, according to an an
nouncement made by C. Hildreth,
chairman of the executive committee.
From Beloit- Kans., comes the sug
gepi.,n that the SP-nte Fe railroad is,
behind this move and that Its plan is
to extend a line through Nebraska
tnat its nortli aud soutli business
may be added to. There has been
much gossip concerning the promo
tion of this road, some prefering to
believe that the Union Paeitic is be
hind the scheme and that it desires
a connecting line between its Nebras
ka and Kansas lines farther west in
this state.
A Kearney man discussing this
proposition says: . “It will be notod
that connection is planned at Carring
ton witli the Canadian Pacific, and
that English capital, which owns the
Canadian Pacific, is behind this pro
ject.
Preliminary maps of the proposed
road show the line running from Car
rongton N. D . where a connection i>
made with the Canadian Pacific U
Hutchison Kas., where a connection
is made with the Santa Fe and its
dne through Oklahoma and Texas to
Galveston. From Carriugton, N. D..
oo Galveston, over the proposed route
is about 1,500 miles. Connection
with the Canadian Pacific in the
north would put Moose Jaw, Canada
w ithin 1,800 miles of Galvesten, about
the same distance that western Ne
braska is from New York. The traf
fic idea is that much wheat from the
north country may bo divertid to the
gulf coast through the building of
700 miles of railroad between Car
rington. N. D., and Hutchison. Kas.
Some right of way has been pur
chased, it is reported, and some ar
rangements have been made for town
sites.

1 punctured the peritoneum.

Change In Motor Time,
Monday morning of this week there
was a change of time on the noon
motor east, leaving for St. Paul and
Grand Island at 1:20 Instead of 12:20
as formerly. This gives our business
interests time to receive their noon

change.

spot. The features of the game were
Jezewski’s pitching, J. Polski stealing
home in the 4th inning and a one
hand catch, 3rd baseman Ilolm of
Elba in the 9th.

in the 1st inning. It looked bad for
Ashton but when they got their turn
at the bat they got 4 hits and a walk
together with 4 errors by Elba that
gave them 8 runs, a lead which Elba
did not succeed to catch. In the 7th
inning with the score 11 to 10, Elba
had the bases full and two out, pitch
