MaaleliMtl Christmas.
The municipal Christmas festivities took
place on tha state house grounds this
evening. Two big evergreen trees from
Joe Btecher's county were procured and
erected on a big platform on the north
side of the capltol. Back of these trees
a bower of evergreen with a flag of elec
tric lights, while colored lights and
spangled ropes of many different hues
were entwined about th bower and
among the trees.
Thousands of electric lights of different
colors gave the place a very pretty ap
pearance. Captain Fred Thornburg s reg
imental band gave a concert early In the
evening and about 300 singers mingled
their voire In Christmas carols.

cessful manner, although this year ap
peared to outrival all prevloua attempts.
They began last year by engaging the
city Auditorium and putting on a few
vaudeville stunts from the local thea
ter to amuse th kids, and this year's
program waa along th same line. About
8,000 boys and girls took advantage of
th opportunity to get free toys and
candy.
Krstos Some Showman.
Warden Fenton is beginning to make
a reputation as a showman, or rather as
promoter. The warden generally makes
good at anything ha undertakes, and his
shows at th penitentiary have always
been good. This year he put on an en
tirely new program with new stunts, mo
tion pictures and th like, and having
th Inspiration of a show house at the
pen which would be a credit to towns
of 14,000 people, the talent which he has
tinder his supervision turned themselves
loose In good shape. Many of the "shut

clroult, and the crowd which filled the
auditorium at th pen this evening was
well entertained and enjoyed one of the
