Last week in referring to tho large
increnso of valuation added on to the
personal property of Ploaeant Hill, wo
inadvertantly used tho words "70 mills"
whon it should havo boen seventy per
cent. HorooB, cattle, mules, etc., should
havo boon raised, but to add seventy per
cent on all tho porsonal property was of
doubtful propriety or good business

aro soro and will, no doubt, contest the
authority of tho board to ralso their as
scBsment to such an extent. It is a
alrango thing that thoir assessment was
not right at first, and a stranger thing
that it was not equalized right afterwards.

In valuation in Wobstor county of D09,-

proporty was 12,510,370. In 1805, !,
000,022. In 1885 the lovy was 12 mills,
this year it is 19 mills, so it will bo Been
that the shrinkage is against tho people
as a whole. A fair valuation would
mako tho levy much less. What
seems tho queerest Js the fact that, in
the ten years montioned that tho do

of raw land havo boen cultivated and

musical f olrco.
On last ovoning, at the opera house,
was given om of tho most roflnod and
interesting musical entertainments that
has evor been put upon tho stage in this
city. The entortainmont was given in
hoaor of Prof. D. C. Jenkins, loader of
the band, who, a few daya ago, tortril
nated his services to take up another
and similar position with a band at
Marshall, Mo. Mr, Jenkins has boon in
Red Cloud over a year and, besides bo
ing a thorough musician, has made hosts
of friends who were pained to learn of
bis determination to leave, howovor, all
things boing equal, whilo it is to bo re
gretted, yot he is to bo congratulated
upon receiving an offer much tuoro ro
munoratlvo than the S. of V. band could
afford to pay at this timo; honce, the
farewell ontertainmont on last ovening,
THF. l'KOaiiAM
Opened with an ovorture by tho band
and titty, chorus voices, which was an
excellent musical trout and was arranged
for tho occasion by Prof. Jenkins.
Ralph and Vanco Foo favorod tho
audience with a beautiful duet "O Sing
of tho Roses.' Thoy woro cheered to
tho echo. "The Lost Ship," by G. S.
and L. P. Albright, V. 13. Fulton, Goo.
Morhart and Chas, Winger, was a mast
torpioco and well rendered. Miss Mury
Miner, in hor exquisite way, charmod
the Rudionce with a piano solo entitled,
L'Inquietudo." The ladies' doublo
quartot, "Tho Maldon'a Defiance," by
Lois Pope, Nellio Dennett, Llllie Smith,
Emlline Warren, Grace Fort, Mrs. J. A.
Baum, Blancbo Cummings and Poarl
Smith, was very prottily rondored.
Tho selections by tbo madolin club
wore highly appreciated, and Messrs.
Vance and McNltt woro loudly oncored.
The "fairy crowning" by Miss Blanch
Conover, queen, and six little girls, lone
Albright, Edna Crono, Millie Boyd,
Annie Tulleys, Lulu Chamberlain and
Jennie Cotting, was ne of the best
features of the evening and was highly
appreciated.
The County Fair, a descriptive soloc
tion by the band, was, using a slang
phrase, simply "out of sight" and
brought the houso down.
One of tho neatest selections was a
trio, entitled "Rainfall," by the Misses
Blanche Sherman, Nellio West and
Grace Fort.
The comic quartet, "The Auctioneer,'1
rondered by Mesdamos Emma Martin,
Rose West, and Messrs. Albright und
Cotting, brought forth continuous op
plauso. The cornet solo, by Prof. Jenkins wsb
rondered in his usual happy way. Tho
Professor 1b always at his best when fin
gering u cornot.
A selection by tho bund was a part of
tho program at this juncturo, and was
rendored in tho usual oxcollont mannor.
The comio malo quartot, "Tho Girl
Who Sat Down on My Hut," sang by
Jno. Dlckerson, D. C. Jenkins, Edgar
Cotting and Henry Clark, brought out
tho mirthful propensities of the audi-
enoo, and wore encored so hoartily that
they rospondod with unothor comic
ditty. "Tho Pio Song." Tho audionco
went into ecstaclos and loudly applaud
ed until tho singers returned for the
third time.
A soprano solo by Miss Josio Igou
"Ah, I have slghod to rostmo" was sung
with that graco and ease for which sho
is noted, She has a rich nnd molodious
voico and always ploases. "Good night,
but net good byo," by Miss Lilllo Smith
assisted by a full chorus, was a very
protty flnolo for the occasion. Miss Lil
llo has one of those swoet voices thut
ono listens to nnd never tiros, und this
timo was no exception.
Probably no city in the stato has as
many tlno lady singers as has Rod Cloud
und Tiir Chief feels a pardonuble pride
in chronicling tho fact. Tho last night's
entortainmont was no exception. Tho
beautiful musio by the pianist Miss
Mary Miner, togothor with the sweet
songy of the ladies and gentlemen seem
ed to watt ull lovers of good music into
angolic realms. The occasion will long
be remomborod.

A PARALYZING! PUN.
A MISER'S HOARD.
An Old Franobraau'a Queer Hiding Ptaoe
fur Ilia Money.
The relatives and heirs of an old
man who recently died in a small
French village have to congratulate
themselves on the circumstances that
his death took place during the winter,
and that, consequently, while waiting
in his cottage for the departure of the
funeral cortege to the church and tho
cemetery, a fire was made to warm the
room. The defunct was in humble
circumstances, aud though of athrifty,
careful disposition, nobody thought he
had left any property worth mention
ing behind him. Tho day of the funer
al being n very cold one, the old man's
btore of firewood was drawn upon
more freely, possibly, than tho thritfty
cottager himself would have approved
of, and this led to a remarkable dis
covery. As the flames from the crack
ling logs shot up, one of the clumps of
wood split In two, and out of it, to tho
surprise of the jisspmb.lcd -relatives.
A Mean Man Takei Advantage of Kvety
Occasion to Inflict Them.
Ho was one of those punsters who
make pons even ut funerals. Just like
the man that John Dennis had in mind
when, in 161)1, he wrote': "A man who
would make so vllo a pun would nut
Iscruplo to pick n pochct." Ho makes
vile pans, mofctly, but hetnaku? a good
rone now-and then. A man who makes
many puns cannot help but inakp
good one once In awhile. -Tho particu
lar pun which is to be glton to Uu
public in thin paragraph was mado in
the oflloo of a certain official who has
white beard long And flowing. Tho
punster and a reportdr entered tho of
fice together and together spoke
to the afllolal. Tho reporter nb
tlccd a hair on tho otflclal's shoulder
and said: "Mr. ' , thero'a a long,
white hair on your coat; I'll tako it
off." The punster saw that his chance
had come, and, gathering himself as a
bloodthirsty mosquito docs when about
to blto an innocent maiden, blurted
out: "White hair It away." Neither
the official nor the reporter spoko for
a moment. They wero paralyzed by
tho desfpVrato man's audacity.
Virginia and Ita Nickname.
Tht) authorities in tho colony of
Virginia, at the time of tho contest in
England between the Stuarts and
Cromwell, appear to havo been de
voted to the Stuarts, and whon the
Cromwelllan government threatened
to send a fleet to reduce the colony to
submission, its officials dispatched a
message to young Charles, who wafl
afterward King of England, under the
title of Charles II, but was then hiding
In France, Asking him to como over
and be king of Virginia. It is said
that Charles was on tho point of start
ing, when the collapse of the common
wealth und tho Cromwelllan roguno
took place, which sent him back to the
English throne. Charles never forgot
this devotion of Virginia to his for
tunes, and that colony was subse
quently classed with England, Scot
land and Ireland as one of tho main
portions of the empire. In this way
Virginia came to be known among the
American colonies as tho Old Dominion.
