his scalp and giving him quite shock
but not setiodsly injufing him. Had

where they do when singing, the results
doubtless would have been of more Sc
rious nature rs the clustering was quite
heavy and fell nearly twenty feet. Luck

with no greater injuries than q big
scare, save Mr. Riggs. who received q
more substantial reminder of the acct.

A Fine entertainment.

The many citizens of Emporia who
failed to patronize the concert given al
Jaws opera house last Tuesday for the
benefit of the Dunlap academy have
abundant reason TO regret that they
missed an entertainment of so much
genuine merit. The attendance, we are
sorry to say did not meet the expecta-
tions of those interested ia the financial
success of the enterprise, but we regard
it safe to say, that the anticipations of
the audience We're more than realized
by the satisfactory manner in which the
weil-selected program was rendered.
| The opening number was an overture
by Sogard's orchestra whose perform
ances are always first-class, and there
was no falling below the.usual excellent
standard last evening.
The vocal duet-"I Know a Bank
Wherein The Wild Thyme Crows" by
Misses Holmes and Hoxie, was sung
with fine taste and expression, and
proved one Of the best numbers on the
program.
Mrs. G. w. Newman played two piano
solos in her best style, and the latter,
Crusaders" by Krug, was so admirably
executed that she was requested to re-
peat it which she kindly consented TO do.
"The Moonlight Sleeps" was sung by
Miss Anna Bigger with fine effect and
her number received generous applause.
The Mendelsshon Wedding March
was given as an overture, Professor
Sogard leading on the violin, L. Il.
Peters accompanying with the violin
cello, and Misses Goddard and Hedden
presiding at the piano. No feature of
the entertainment was better received
or is more worthy of praise.
The anthem blessed is the People"
and "Star of Descending Night" were
sung as double quartetts and GNere most
acceptably rendered.
The violin performances of Professor
Snodgrass gave abundant proof OF his
skill in the manipulation of the bow,
and his fine technique, coupled with the
sympathetic quality of his playing,
rendered his numbers especially enjoy
able. His first solo was encored, and
his beautiful rendition of "Traumerie"
was most heartily applauded.
While the proceeds were not what
they should have been, considering the
object OF the entertainment and its
highly meritorious character, the con-
cert was thoroughly enjoyed by those
prpseDt and reflects great credit uDOn
the performers and the leading spirits
in the enterprise, among whom Robt.
Elstun and J. C. Burnett were promi-
nent.
