The SjMea BccMm tJut Mather fiwe fc MMt Fumm ccapaat. Columbus has been highly entertained the last week, there being nearly every evening something to draw a large crowd to the opera house, but doubtless none of the gatherings interested so many Columbus people as that of Saturday night, in which most of the denomina tions assisted the committees f the Presbyterian church in presenting "The Temple of Fame." The stage was beautifully decorated with flowers and draped curtains, while white canvas was used for stage carpet. The Queen, Miss M. E. McGath, was en throned in a rich canopy in the center of the stage; she was decked with real dia monds and took her part in a very nat ural and queenly manner. She was at tended by four waiting maids, Misses Maud Rightmire, Mazie Elliott, Frank Tiffany and Maud Naylor. There were also two pages, Masters Elliott and Tiffany. The "plot" was, the Queen had a wreath of flowers she would place on the head of the most famous, or the one most deserving the honor, each to be brought before her and to plead his or her own cause, why they should be the favored one. The pages would bring the card to the Queen of each in turn and secure her approval before announcing the person. & The following is a list of the persons and characters whom they represented: Sappho, Anna McColm; Benjamin Franklin, Mr. Koon; Robert Burns, W. A. McAllister; Diogenes, Earl Pearsall; Maud Muller, Bessie Sheldon; Roths child, Ed. J. Niewohner; Columbus and Lief, C. J. Garlow and Dr. Naumann; The Three Graces, Maud Tiffany, Mrs. Yoss and Nellie Welch; Pocahontas and Capt. John Smith, Mrs. Ellis and Dr. Yoss; Ruth and the Reaper, Grace Tay lor and Martha Turner; Cleopatra, Phonnie Cushing; Cchalchi, Mrs. E. H. Chambers; Xanthippe and Socrates, Margaret Gallagher and Charles Still man; Old Bluebeard, the Queen refuses his admission to her presence; Mary Queen of Scots, Mrs. Barber; Jennie Lind, Mrs. D. D. Lynch of Platte Cen ter; Mrs. Partington and her son Ike, Nellie Post and Ed. North; George and Martha Washington, J. T. Cox and Mrs. McAllister; Barbara Frietchie, Margaret Gallagher; Carey Sisters, Mary Henry and Florence Gleason; Louisa M. Alcott and her four little women, Louisa Guth erio, Mary Tiffany, Vera Cramer, Mattie Post and Gene Wilson; Hariet Beecher Stowe and Topsy, Mrs. A. M Covert and Guy Fox; Clara Schuman, Mrs. C. J. Garlow; Mother Goose, Mrs. C. A. Brind ley; Joan of Arc, Eulala Rickly; Wm. Tell and Son, A. M Covert and Georgie Scott; Samantha Allen and Josiah, Chattie Rice and Mr.Percupile; Bridget, Mrs. Stires. A chorus of little girls consisting of Edith Duncan, Lucie Martyn, Gertie Whitmoyer, Maud Hatfield, Ruby Rick ly, Clara Hon, Anna Taylor, Tena Zin necker Anna Rasmussen, Jessie Swarts ley, Bello Avers and Emma Rorer came out and begged the Queen to give Moth er Goose the wreath as she was the most deserving. Anna Rasmussen was the spokesman and her pleading evidently was very effective, as 'the Queen, after being further urged by Barbara Frietchie, who relinquished her claims, placed the wreath on' Mother Goose's head. The band furnished a few selections. When George and Martha Washington appeared, they played "America." The gentlemen's suits were very fine, most of them were got in Omaha for the occasion, and some of them were very valuable. The ladies" had some elegant costumes, no expense being spared to make them appropriate and beautiful. As none of the parts were lengthy, it was a continual program of the best talent in music and elocution our city affords. Mr. and Mrs. Garlow, Mrs. McAllister and Mrs. Yoss have been untiring work ers and succeeded admirably. Many have remarked that if the en tertainment is repeated, they would have even a larger house than greeted them Saturday evening. Should they choose to visit any other cities, they ought to be patronized by the best people, and the largest crowds, because it is an entertainment which all good people can enjoy. Alvin Leavie returned Tuesday of last week from Oklahoma. Asked con cerning the value of the claim he loca ted, so soon as he could prove up, he replied $20 an acre. He says that: fruit is abundant; a bale of cotton to the acre is produced; during the rush water sold as High as 95 a barrel; at Kingfisher they have an ice-plant and a flouring mill; oak posts sell at 4 cents apiece; one man said ho could sell $2,000 worth of cedar fence posts off his claim, at 5 cents apiece; ex-Sheriff Caldwell of this county is breaking on his claim with a pair of mules; the Connelly Bros, are there, too; O. N. McKay is located seven miles from Kingfisher; Stephen S. Mc Allister is practicing law in the town; the Otis boys of Humphrey are in that country; Mr. Price of Platte Center also, latter returned here Friday; claims within seven miles of Kingfisher are ten to fifteen deep, i. e., that many persons filing on each claim; there are three months of winter, and the country seems admirably adapted to stock-raising; some of the soil is a rich, black, sandy loam, while some is red, but all productive. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Gates of Benton died Sunday even ing about six, after an illness of a few days, of lung fever and teething. Its name was James L, and its age twenty two months. The funeral services, con ducted by Rev..Snider of this city, were held at Benton and the burial took place in the cemetery here at one o'clock yes terday afternoon. The sorrowing parents have the sympathy of all their friends in the loss of their first-born and only child, who had become so dear to them, although his life on earth was so very brief. The Quill says that one of the very first acts of the new school board of Schuyler was to appoint a committee to visit the city council and request that of the $1,000 liquor licenses now paid, the sura of $700 or $750 be allowed the school fund, instead of the $500 hereto fore paid. The Quill inquires if $12)00 is not enough on which to run the schools of Schuyler. EEBSOXAL. Dr. Hoehen was in Humphrey Satur day. Mrs. J. D. Stires goes to Lincoln today.

PLATTE CENTER. The Lovers or Manic Enjoy a Rare Treat. About thirty Columbus people went to Platte Center last Tuesday to attend the concert and ball given for the bene fit of the Catholic church at that place. The hall was crowded by an appreciative audience. All on the program did their best. Mrs. C. J. Garlow, Columbus rep resentative, sang three solos, with an encore, and doubtless never sang better. Mrs. D. D. Lynch and Miss Katie Hays, both of Platte Center, sang solos; both were encored, showing the appreciation and regard of the audience for their mu sical leaders. Jules Lombard of Omaha, his hair white with age, held' the audi ence spellbound by his rich boss voice in "I Fear No Foe." Lieut Kinzie of Oma ha appeared in a solo and also in a duett, "Hear Me, Norma," with Mrs. Lynch. Both were very fine. Joseph Mogill of Humphrey sang a comic song that brought down the house with its Irish wit. James Moore also of Humphrey sang a dude song, and later danced a clog dance which everybody pronounced fine. The orchestra furnished several beauti ful selections and played for the ball after the concert. The whole evening's entertainment was a decided success, and Mrs. D. D. Lynch will long be remembered as the means of securing so much rare talent in a single entertainment. C. L. S. C. To meet with the Misses Weaver, May 24th, 1892.

Kepreaeautives of Twenty Different Nations Frea Eight to Twenty-Three Yean Old, Give a High-CUss Entertain ment to the People or -Colaaibas. ' " The entertainment at the opera house last Friday evening by pupils of the In dian Industrial School at Genoa was greeted by a crowded house. In many respects it was u unique en tertainment. We are accustomed to think of the Indian as untutored, wild, given over to meanness and deviltry of all kinds; this entertainment gavo a partial, but indeed a very pleasing pic ture of the other side of the Indian nature the susceptibility to the finer sensibilities of human nature; the evi dent desire to improve; and, as a con sequence, the actual improvement, under favoring conditions of course. These native, aboriginal Americans have evi dently grasped the American idea Progress and they purpose clinging to it. As Superintendent Backus stated in a five-minutes' speech, all these pupils and the remainder of the four hundred at the school, are engaged regularly at work, the girls making their own gar ments, tho boj-s theirs, a great manv trades being represented by tho busy little community, raising on their farm grain, vegetables, broom-corn, etc., and conducting a broom factory, a harness shop, carpenter shop, blacksraithing, a printing office, etc., thus not only earning the bread they eat, but, in an honest way, by their industry, furnishing the means to make improve ments at their school-home. Some of the little children who took part in tho entertainment were brought to the school the past winter from tho wild haunts of their tribes in the west, and in tho costume of civilized folks thoy do look cute. Among tho older ones is an Indian chief who 6inco January has learned to speak considerable English, and at tho school has been of much assistance to the teacher assigned to give thorn their first lessons which were of courso all by signs and motions. Without mentally placing ourselves in thoir position, v:o cannot understand the difficulties of either tho pupils or the teachers. The pupils havo a fondness for music, and many of tho voices havo responded quickly to the cnlturo that has been bestowod upon them. In tho band, their proficiency is especially noticeable, little master Jimmie Goings, in a cornet solo, with only two months' instruction, and his older brother Louis, in a triplo tongue, baritone solo, evidencing a good deal more than ordinary musical talent. Lucy Laten and Levi Bird in a duett, "The Gypsy Countess," did themselves great credit, not only in tho purity of their voices, but in thoir manner on tho stage. Tho Sailor Boys' song by Messrs. Rouse, Kealear, Weston and Armell.was a delightful piece exceedingly well ren dered, and we must not forget to say that Rose Pulliam, a Sioux Indian girl of nineteen, in her rendition of a piano solo, gavo evidence of unusual ability. We learn that she readily reads all or dinary music and plays it on organ or piano, at sight, and without hesitation. Frank Mott, in his declamations, both humorous and grave, would do credit to tho best elocution school in the land. We have not space to mention all the numbers, many of which were greeted with rounds of applause, but must not fail to say that tho Sunllowers, tho Shak ing Quakers, tho Crows, tho twenty different nations, and the gym nastic and tambourine drills, and the full Indian cornet band, of twenty pieces, and that discoursed a half dozen excellent selections during tho evening, made an entertainment long to be remembered by those present. We learn that it is the intention of Superintendent Backus, if suitable ar rangements can be made, to give an en tertainment at Lincoln, and perhaps in Omaha, and wo can assure the aud iences there that they will not only hear and see a very enjoyable entertainment, but also be gratified to know that Ne braska's only Indian school is doing good work in the education of the abo riginal American. THE ONLY LEMEN BROS. SHOW. The Only Big Show to Exhibit in this Vicinity this Year. Through an arrangement entered into between tho proprietors of tho lending shown of tho conn try tho Great Lemen Bros.

The proprietors of this well known establishment, who are tho ac knowledged leaders of the circus business of America, are said to have ontdono all previous efforts in this line, both in tho novelty of tho entertainment and in the wonderful features ex hibited. The securing of tho famous Rajah, the largest elephant on earth, secured at n coHt of ovor$25,COO. The enormous outlay of cash ia evidence that tho managers of lids great show are bound to exhibit to its patrons t-omething new and worthy tho great name and reputation it already has.
