A Great Many Say. _ A splendid benefit concert was presented last Tuesday night at the Methodist church by Miss Grace Cam eron for the Home and Foreign Mis sionary societies. She was assisted by some of our best local talent, who were given a liberal sliare of ap plause. Mrs. Simon Davies is conceded an unusually fine accompanist and her accompaniments Tuesday night were faultless. The audience paid the duet cf Mrs. Davies and Mrs. Gist a much deserved compliment and Mrs. Gist’s Nocturne by Schumann called for an encore. Miss Alice Cleaver was heartily encored, as her violin solos are al ways appreciated. Frank Caffery of Mound City, Mo., is a young reader *>f talent and in ‘‘Pancake Sketches” showed ability that should bo cultivated. ‘‘The, Dude’’ was equally pleasing. ftU3s Cameron seemed pleased with the ovation given her when she appeared. She was more than gen erous v icli her favors and those who failed to hear her missed a treat, for it is long since Falls City heard a concert of equal merit. Ti. ■ sweetness, the flexibility and beauty ot her vioce was shown to SooJ advantage in '‘Pleurez Ales' Yeux" by Alassanett, sang in Italian. The compass and volume of her voice is remarkable and its sweetness and sympathy steals into the heart until you feel with her in every t^’ne and word. “Calm as the Night” was the encore and it was beautifully sang. The Aria from La Traviata by Ver di, also in Italian, showed to advan tage her wonderful range of voire; her trills and the wonderful ease with whi.h , t ■ :nbi s high “■■' could not fail ;.j al to tr; lovers. Shi si! unuii:.'.akablt power in tiii; nun:!: .. By request she sang “The Last Rot of Summer” and the beauty of the old favorite was only enhanced by hr-r splendid voice. Miss Cleaver played a violin ob ligato for Aliss Cameron in the Lul lady from Jocelyn and in sympathy, and feeling she held her audience until iii. last note died away.

Our neighbors from Humboldt furnished us n band for the last three days of the Chautauqua. The hoys made a “lilt” by their excel lent music ami their willingness to play, at any time that a lull In the program appeared. This organization has been in ex istence for many years in our neigh boring town, under the efficient training of Prof. A..Watzek, who can look with pride at the result of his patieneb and careful training. The band numbers some twenty-five pieces and some of these members have grown from boys to men of family without the loss of membership, it is but just to say that this is a uni form band and new suits were order ed several weeks ago, but greatly to the chagrin of the leader, did not arrive for this occasion. The class of music furnished by Prof. Watzek and his faithful following is second to none in the state and those who heard the sacred concert on Sunday were .loud in their praise of Its ren dition. In connection with tire band the leader lias a strong orchestra of fourteen pieces which handles the i latest and most popular productions from the best authors. We would like to see arrangements made for fre quent concerts in this city from this organization. School Board.

COB11LY. , It Wasn’t Us. We take this method of Informing the public, that the recent account of a Falls City confectioner being arrest ed for making impure ice cream, which appeared in the state papers, DID NOT have reference to us. The name of the firm arrested did not appear in the article and we therefore feared that the public might think it was our cream, as we too sold cream on the chautauqua grounds. . We have NEVER been fined by the inspector and our ice cream has been examined many times by him. It has always stood the test and we guarantee its purity and cleanliness. We solicit your further patronage. FALLS CITY CANDY KITCHEN. —Eat Sowle’s Candy. THE COMMERCIAL CLUB. A Meeting on Monday Night—Very Little Business.

The top to be of paving brick, each weighing nine pounds, laid on edge.
