pretty severely. It happened in the

does not suit everybody either.
On our return from Omaha last Fri

We can only wish Frank bon voyage

The celebrated Steen Family will
give a performance at Fitzgerald's
Hall on Saturday evening, Jan. 19th
consisting of feats of ventriloquism
etc. We give the following from the
Kearney Press:
The .Steen family came here Satur
day evening, but through the neglect
of their agent to properly advertise
them, a slim audience only was ob
tained. They were determined, how
ever, to let the Kearney people know
what they could do so threw open
their doors and gave a free perfor
mance, and it is tho general impres
sion of all who were present that it
is the best entertainment given here
for months. They will return next
Thursday and give an entertainment
in the evening at More's hall where
they deserve to be greeted with a full
house. Tickets are placed at the low
price of 31 cents, reserved seats 50
cents. The following, from a late Ne
vada paper, shows how they are appre
ciated by those who have witnessed
their performances:
. THE STEEN BROTHERS.
The wonderful Steen Brothers will
appear in Miners' Union hall, Gold
Hill, next Friday and Saturday eve
nings. Their performances are most
mysterious, and their powers really
marvelous. Wherever these gentlemen
have appeared they have been receiv
ed with enthusiastic applause. Their
acts excite unbouuded admiration.
Nothing of the kind was ever seen in
