About six weeks ago DR.. II. c. Brigham
discovered that his house, then unoccupied,
had been broken open and many articles
stolen, some of quite value. He imme-
diately informed Officer Demeritt who
since then has been on the look out for the
missing articles. On Thurday evening Of
last week, while on duty, he was asked by
George Whitney, n lad of eighteen years
OF age, to assist him in carrying a trunk up
stairs to his room, which he rented Of
Fuller & Howe, on the third floor of the
FREEMAN block. He did so and upon en-
tering the room noticed several of the
articles described by DR.. Brigham as be-
longing to him. He Immediately informed
the Doctor who procured search warrant.

The MENDELssoHN QUINTErrE CLUE
CoNCERT.-The lovers of good music en-
joyed rare treat in the concert given by
this club on Tuesday evening. AS former
ly composed, and rs they had Tor many
years travelled together, the club has sew
eral times visited our village, and made
here, us elsewhere over the country, the
reputation, so fairly earned for careful and
accurate rendering of good music. Now,
Mr.. Ryan's is the only familiar face to old
admirers Of the club, excepting that of Mr..
Edward Heindl, who was with the club
some years before its reorganization.
Mr. S. E. Jacobsohn takes Mr.. Schultze's
place as LIST violin, and if one misses some
thing of Mr.. Shultze's quiet style, they find
an equal mastery Of the instrument, with
more fire and power. Mr.. Jacobson was
leading violin and soloist in Theodore
Thomas's orchestra, and in that place gain
ed rank among among the musical pub
lie, as an artist of the first rank. Mr..
Gustav Dannreuther, makes good Mr..
Meisels place as I'd violin, and Mr.. Ru-
dolph Hennig takes Mr. Fries place as
Violincello. Besides these changes the
club have added permanently Mr.. Alexan-
der Heindl, Contra Basso, which is a great
addition to the effective rendering of most
of their music.
Miss Ella c. Lewis has the vocal part in
the programme and ILLS it admirably.
AS a whole, as ut present constituted we
think the club will rather gain new laurels,
than dim the brightness of their former
ones.
The programme was a purely classic
one, opening with the Poet and Peasant in
Overture of Semiramis, which was render
ed with careful shading and excellent eff
feet. The second number was "Qpi la
voice." from Puritani, given by Miss Lewis,
who has a sweet voice of medium power,
and excellent execution. She received an
encore, to which she responded by bowling
her thanks. The third number was IL con-
cert piece for the flute, which was admir-
ably performed by Mr.. Heindl, who is
perhaps the finest flutist in the country.
Number four to our mind, was the finest
piece of the evening, probably because it
is the kind of music we like, was the
Adaoo from Beetlloven's Septette, OPP. 90,
which was arranged as n seXtette by Mr..
Ryan, and was very effective. Number
five was ErnsL's fantasia for violin, given
by Mr.. jacobson, difficult composition
and finely rendered. gaining him an en-
core, to which he responded with II Han,
garian Rhapsody.
Part second opened with II ballad by
Miss Lewis, 1.-The Sands O. Dee" gaining
an encore, for which she gave " Robin
Adair." Number seven was Mr.. RyNn's
Romanza and Rondo for clarinctte, which
was of course we'll performed Number
eight, IL Gavotte and Swedish Wedding
March; number nine, Angels Scrcnalc,
sung by Miss Lewis, with cello ohligato by
Mr.. Hcnnig, which probably gave us much
as any piece of the evening;
number ten, the Overture, If I Were
King" by the club.
a fair audience listened to the music
with the excellent attention which shows
appreciation and approval.
