BAENABEE's CONCERT

BARNABEE's CONCERT.
AT the Bsrnabee concert, to be given at City
Hall January 18th, Mrs. j. G. Carter, Miss
Anna Holbrook, j. G. Bartlett, Mr. Shue-
bruck the cornet player, and Mr.. ii. M. Dow
will assist
THE LILIPUTIAN OPERA.
The operetta of Jack the Giant Killer will be
presented at Music Hall Friday evening, by
the Liliputian Opera Company. Jack is Ad-
miral Dot, twenty-eight inches tall; Jennie,
his affianced, is Miss Jennie Quigley, thirty
inches tall; Gertrude, the sffianced of Arthur,
is Miss Sarah Bolton, thirty three inches tall
the other little folks are taller, but still quite
short, and the giant is prodigy of human big
ness. Doubtless nearly every one present was
favorably disappointed to hear such strong
singing from the little folks. Musicaliy their
voices are not remarkable, but their acting
was spirited, and in many places was grotesque
in the extreme, SO great was the contrast be-
tween the giant and the Liliputians. A ladder
was used-and it was needed-to climb to the
giants shoulder. The plot of the operetta is
the abduction of Jennie by the giant-Fin Ma
Coon-her rescue by Jack, the capture of Fin
and his becoming the ally of the dwaIfs. Some
capital acting is done by Jack in the drinking
scene with the giant when the latter's liquor
drugged, and at the ratification of allegiance
each Of the dwarfs (save the absent Ulrick)
takes one of the fingers of the giants right
hand the jnncture of the big and the little
making striking contrast.

THE FOUR PER CENT BoNDs.-This loan
continues in great favor with all classes of il
vestors. The absolute security it offers, its en-
tire exemption from all taxation, the frequen-
| cy of its interest payments and the readiness
| with which these bonds may be converted, is
attracting the attention Of prudent and careful
| investors in all parts of the country. The
| Maverick Mutual National Bank of Boston
was the first bank to publicly announce their
| appointment as government agent for the sub
scription and sale of this loan. This was about
| year ago, and since that time their sales have
! aggregated many millions of dollars. The rec
ords of the department at Washington, from
the recent report of Secretary Sherman, show
| that the Maverick National Bank has done the
| principal business for New England, and that
| only two banks in the whole country have ex-
| ceeded 1t in amount Upon assuming this
agency they established United States bond
| department as branch of their business, af-
fording to banks and individuals every facility
| for the purchase, sale and exchange of every
| description of government securities. In this
| they have been eminently successful, and the
Immense volume of their business enables
them to give every advantage to those having
any transactions in government bonds. AS
this is the season of the year when capitalists,
trustees and persons of every class are seeking
the best methods Of employing funds, and
changing present investments we are glad tt,
call the attention of our readers to The safety
and convenience of this very popular loan of
the government
"FAcTs are stubborn things" and what
| shrewd business men want, and at no time
more than when considering the subject of life
insurance. The thirsy-sx years record of the
Mutual Life log. Co. of New York presents an
array of indisputable facts worthy of atten-
ton.
THERE will be an auction sale Of horses,

live, where her husband has been preach

her move away.
MIR. Lacy, of Lime Springs, is in town
looking over the elevator Of Bassett,
Hunting & Co., and making some
changes. He is going to take charge OF
the elevator and buy wheat for said CON-
pany in the fall.
The recent heavy rains have swollen
Rose Creek until it assumes the proper
lions of a river. The rains have also
lowered the hopes OF the farmers. The
wheat is badly rusted, and at best there
can be only fair crop.

largely attended by citizens from Rose
Creek, and was pronounced grand affair
indeed, especially the privilege Of stand

reading was excellent, and the Grafton of

were filled with patriotism, and took this
method of exhibiting the same.

A committee, consisting of DIR. Wheat,

ed to select list of eight delegates to be
elected by the caucus.
The committee, after few moments
consultation, reported in favor of electlng
the delegates in open caucus. Report
adopted.
Seymour johnson and F. A. Richardson
were then nominated as candidates for
first delegate. Tellers were appointed by
the Chair, and division of the house re-
suited as follows: Seymour Johnson 81;
F. A. Richardson Is.
G. IL. Davidson and F. A. Ticknor
were next placed in nomination. A divi-
sion of the house resulted in Sc for Da-
wilson and 16 for Ticknor.
Inasmuch as the strength OF the caucus
had been fairly tested, and the anti-Page
men had almost 5 to 1, motion was Car.
ricd that the remaining delegates be
elected by reclamation. Following is
