This entertainment, which will consist of rare and beautiful piano selections along with sketches from his own brilliant pen, will occur in the Fitting School chapel, Friday evening, February 8, beginning at 8 o'clock, admission 35 cents; to all students 25 cents. Col. Bacon paid Bamberg a visit some years ago, and charmed the populace, hence, we need only to remind the younger element who have not heard him that there is a rare treat in store for them. He is a gentleman of the old school, courtly, cultured, refined, and entirely original both in his writings and in his executions, he being a most accomplished and brilliant pianist. He will give you Gottschalk's "Last Hope" or , "Hell Broke Loose in Georgia," in his { . own inimitable style. The proceeds of this attraction will be applied to a worthy charitable canse, under the direction of the Woman's Home Mission society. , If there is any man who knows good y): music when he bears it, that man is Editor James T.

(Lines affectionately dedictated to Dr. Brabham on the death of his wife.) Oh! Angel of death thou hast taken away / The sweetest of earth's rare flowers, And left our hearts sore, sad and lone, And oh! such dreary hours. We loved her so, her gentle smile Would brighten the darkest day, And when thy wings came fluttering . near, We shuddered and turned away. *. ..Gone in the beautiful Spring of life From those who loved her well, p* Gone from a world of sin and pain |k Hid scenes of bliss to dwell. | We miss her in our mission work, She was zealous, kind and true; > We miss her in the Sunday-school, And the league misses her too. j* W% miss her in the choir, That sweet and gentle tone vt v " .

Ten years ago an Allen county, Kansas, fanner pnt his initials on a dollar bill. The next day he went to the nearest town and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was oat he cot the dollar - hack. Four times in six years the dollar eame back to him for produce and three times he heard of it in the pockets of his neighbors. The last time he got it back was four years ago. He sent it to a mail order house. He has never seen that dollar since, nor never will. That dollar bill will.never pay any more school or road tax for him, will never build or brighten any of the homes of the community. He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness to himself and his neighbors. Don't send your money to mail order houses, but trade in your home town and you may get it again.

A harmless reptile was captured, deposited in the jug and corked up. Deuser's thirst caused him to seek the Jug, and the jokers watched his actions with great interest. He removed the cork and had the jug within two inches of his lips when the head of the reptile emerged. With a wild scream Deuser hurled the jug to the ground and ran until he reached the Columbia river, six miles distant. He plunged into the stream and lapped the water like a dog. He was wading into deep water when his pursuers captured him. PHONOGRAPH KEEPS HER DYING WORDS Wife Talks Daily Into Cylinder So Hus band May Always near Her Voice. With death near at hand, Mrs. Edward J. Mungen, the wife of a wealthy oil operator of Fostoria, .0., talks daily into a phonograph so that when she shall have passed away her voice may cheer her sorrowing husband. Together the Mungens have made a tour of the world, and in each place of interest they visited Mrs. Mungen has recorded upon the cylinder her impression of the sights seen. Besides, much of the conversation between herself and her husband is recorded by the phonograph. When the physicians at Fostoria and Toledo pronounced the "death sentence" upon Mrs. Mungen, who is now seventy-one years old, they said she probably would live longer If taken to other climates. Thereupon the Mungens set out upon a globe encircling tour. The other day they arrived in Denver, having come from India via Victoria, Seattle, Portland and Salt Lake. If the doctors think Mrs. Mungen's present-state of health will per/^\ TTRTR WORDS WILL BE REPEATED TO HIM. mit they will make a tour of Colorado. Upon arriving here Mrs. Mungen's first act was to repeat into the phonograph her impfessions of the sights between here and Salt Lake. She has a little chest in which she keeps cylinders, which contain comments neither her husband nor any one else has ever heard. These will be repeated to him by the machine after Mrs. Mungen dies. "It will be like making another tour of the world with Mrs. Mungen," he said. He is sixty-eight years old, but possesses a rugged constitution. Butterflies Hide the Sun. Myriads of butterflies, all moving in a general southerly direction over 8t Louis, attracted much attention on a recent afternoon, particularly in the business streets. Broadway was dotted with little groups of men who craned their necks and shaded their eyes against the Bun while they stared at the unusual spectacle. Occasionally the clouds of butterflies were so thick that they obscured the sun. The butterflies were very large, some measuring about three inches from tip to tip of their wings, and were of a flock occasionally circling, but all maintaining a general progress southward. Cooked In a Boiler. Literally cooked alive in a boiler into which steam was turned by mistake, Boilermaker Gustav F. Friend, thirty years old, of Vincennes, Ind., lived five hours, with his flesh dropping from him in chunks. He remained conscious and arranged all his worldly affairs, bade his family goodby and then prayed with his pastor until death came. ;> . . .. \ : \ : - r '\ . ; \ . -v. Mrs. Helen L. Bullock. Mrs. Helen L. Bullock, national organizer of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, spent last Thursday and Friday in Bamberg in the interest of the work. She spoke Thursday and Friday nights in the Methodist church, and those who heard her were charmed. She im| presses one as being very much in j earnest, and her plea for the salvation of men and boys from the curse of strong drink, very deeply impresses her hearers. She is not fanatical nor extravagant in her statements, but has at her command facts and figures to substantiate her arguments. It is to be regretted that more of ourj people did not hear her. It is sel-i dom that we have an opportunity to hear so cultured and sensible a woman on a subject of so great importance to us. The result of her visit was the organization of a local union. All the women of the town and community are invited to become members, and the men may become associate members. The body of Judson Kirby, a young white man, 18 years old, was found in the town of Union last Tuesday afternoon dead with a pistol lying by his side. It is supposed he committed suicide. He was employed at the knitting mill there. Possesses wonderful medicinal power over the human body, removing all disorders from your system, is what Hoilister's Rocky Mountain Tea will do.

A serious riot occured at Coal v Island, County Tyrone, on Monday night, in which some circus performers and a mob of about 400 people were concerned. The trouble arose through a man, who was examining the circns wagons, refusing to move off after being requested to go by a member of the circus company. The man then appears to have been roughly handled by some of the circus party, whereupon a crowd quickly gathered and attacked the circus with bricks and stones. They seemed likely to attempt a rush, but eight or nine of the performers, armed with "property" revolvers and swords, charged on horseback, temporarily scattering their assailants. Shortly afterwards the police arrived and flung themselves between the combatants, three constables being injured in the struggle. After two hours' pandemonium, Father Brown succeeded in dispersing the crowd, but the circus had to leave the town.? * J? rv.M- If.11 ijonaon i^any man.
