THE PEERLESS PYTHIAN The Brigade Sand at Manawa and the Feast of Olympia. IT IS THE PEER OF THEM ALL The Nebraska Brigade Band , Uniform - form Rank , Knights of Pythias , of McCook , Nebraska , is Winning Honors. The Nebraska Brigade band , Uniform Rank , Knights of Pythias , of McCook , captured the large audience at Lake Manawa , last evening. The band has been engaged to play at the Nebraska State fair and filled an engagement for Colonel Reed at the Grand Plaza with such success that it was the unanimous verdict that it was the finest band 'that has ever played at the lake. The organ ization is composed of twenty-seven pieces , under the leadership of H. P. Sutton , and while the audience was en tranced with the faultless rendition of Rossini's overture ; "Semiramide" , it could uot help but marvel how it became possible for a Nebraska village to contain such an aggregation of rare musical tal ent , and that it should be discovered and I drilled to such perfection as its work last night indicated. The concert was full of special features , among them the piccolo * cole solo by , R oy Smith , a 17-year-old boy , who was given the piccolo for the the first" time less than six months ago. About twenty members of the Arapahoe Second Regiment band were among the delighted ' listeners to the music. This band will divide honors with the McCook boys at the fair. A glance at the pro gram that was rendered last night will give \ an idea of the character of the music to be expected ! PART 1.

The second division was under com mand of Major H.J. Penfold , with E. E. Bryson and W. H. McCord as aids , and was led by a superb band from McCook , Nebraska. This band is the pride of the Nebraska Brigade , Uniformed Rank of ( the Knights of Pythias , "and bears its name. : It is composed of twenty-eight mu sicians , under the leadership of Prof.H.P. Sutton , while Drum Major E. L. Laycock wields the baton. The band last evening discarded its full dress uniform , which consists of the familiar Pythian regalia , and in its stead wore a brilliant uniform of white and maroon , the trousers of white duck and the military jackets of maroon colored-broadcloth , ornamented with black frog braiding. The helmets were white , with extra long maroon- colored plumes. It was a strikingly handsome uniform. The band's playing " was of a high standard of excellence.

Then followed addresses , papers , etc. , from different members , all of which were earnest and filled with instruction and profit. The program concluded with exercises by the Junior Endeavor in charge of Mrs. W. G. Dutton. This was the most inter esting feature of the evening. The little ones performed their different songs , recitations , readings , etc. , with credit.

GRAHAM TOR SENATOR He Halls From Stockvlile , Frontier County , and Was Named on the Second Ballot The Committee , Eto. The Populist convention for the 29th Senatorial district was held in the Me nard opera house , this city , Tuesday af ternoon. The attendance was not large , but every county in the district was rep resented. L. G. Ruggles of Dundy county and representative fame was chairman of the convention , A. L. Taylor of Hitch cock county was secretary. The second ballot for a candidate for state senator resulted in the nomination of Loyal M. Graham of Frontier county , I. A. Sheridan of Red Willow county and C. R. Walker of Dundy county being his nearest competitors for the honor. The following central committee was chosen : Chase county A. * M. Brittell ; Dundy C. R.

The resolutions passed endorsed the St. ; Louis platform and Governor Hoi- comb's ( administration ; and favored mutual life and fire insurance companies. There was considerable oratory in con nection : with the convention , which on the ; whole was quite unanimous. The nominee is a man of some means and has the of • appearance being a pretty clean 1 fellow if he does not possess any brilliant parts. He will not make a bad looking ; corpse. . g = : - , - . - j..7. . = - . , " , -i' , a , r. - . . 7i j ] I RAILROAD NEWS-NOTES.
