A CHOICE CONCERT.
The Mrs. Abel. Haas Entertainment at
Harper's Theatre Interesting
Programme.

Notwithstanding the extreme heat,
fair-sized audience gathered at Bar.
per's theatre last night, on the occa-
sion of the Ottilie Abell- Haas concert. but
not such as the entertainment deserved.
The famous and popular Strasser's or>
chestra gave three selections. the opening
overture, a waltz at the beginn ing Of
part second and a selection at the close,
all of which were highly appreciated, as
were also the Accomplishments by the or
chestra to several OF the numbers through
out the programme A male quartette,
composed of Messrs. Kuappe, Downer,
Haas and Altman, sang Marschner ser
anade IA lullaby very fine compost,
ton, but IN its rendition the quartette ap-
peared exceedingly lame. and something
less pretentious would have been more
pleasing to the audience. On the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Seth Crane, he was
greeted with round of applause that
plainly showed him to be favorite with
the audience. Mr.. Crane was recalled on
both of his solos, Boot and Saddle, I"
from the operetta MAID of Belleville, /"
and the "Scapegrace", as an encore to
the latter he sang do not Forget Me. =
His selections were all adapted to his
voice, which is baritone of great com
pass, wonderful power and fiexibility, and
his ideas of expression are perfect.
The solos of Mrs Haas were both en-
cored; she only responded to one of the
re-calis. when she sang The Position
in very pleasing manner.
The instrumental selections by Prof.
Cramer, the De Beriot club, and Prof
Strasser, were faultlessly rendered
The quartette, The World is but a
Broken Tow" from Princess Ida. in
which Mrs. Haas, Mcssrs. Kuappe, Dow>
ner and Altman sang, was like unto the
male quartette, and evidenced lack of
preparation, with the exception of Mrs.
Haas and Mr. Downer who sang with
ease and degree of confidence,
One of the best and most pleasing fea-
lures of the entertainment was the scene
from The Mikado" in costume, in which
Mrs. Haas as Yum Yum, Mrs. Crane as
Pitt Sing, and Miss Heinrich as Peep
b." sang Three Little Maids from
School" on which they were called and
a repetition given. The closing number
by Mrs. Haas was another selection from
"Mikado, The Moon and |, in which
she made decided hit
On the whole, the programme was one
which commented itself to the ear for
good music. and while there should be
distinct exceptions in awarding the hons
ors as to the most meritorious numbers,

The republican brethren of the county,
those who pull the wires and run the par
ty machine, are up the stump in po-
litical sense, SO to speak. Their princi-
pal trouble just now is to find a suitable
candidate for sheriff-one who has a
slight chance to be elected. This GUAM
Diary accounts for the number of names
that have been proposed, but up to the
present time no satisfactory solution of
the problem has been made. 1t seems
that the republicans should be able to Sc

can camp. The republicans are aware
that be is known from one end of the
county TO the other as the best deputy
sheriff the county has ever had. and that
his efficiency is only exceeded by bis pop
ularity. They know he will receive the
votes OF the people, irrespective of party
ties, and that when the people call, tho
result is obvious. Therefore, the anxiety
and fear among the republicans is not &c
be wondered at. They held one of their
semi-weekly meetings yesterday, but
without arriving at any satisfactory con,
clusion. One and all admitted that the
outlook was exceedingly dubious. In
order to draw the attention from their
present demoralized condition, we would
hint that there is pretty fight brewing
over the treasurership, and if conciliatory
measures are not speedily adopted. rip
roaring fuss will break loose in the O. O.

Sunday Excursion

The Peoria Freeman says of the ex-
cursion from this city Sunday:
An excursion train with six coaches
came in yesterday over the Rock Island
road. The party came from Moline,
Davenport and Rock Island, and would
have been burger but for the threatening
weather when they started. The pleas
ure seekers amused themselves IN various
ways, some going to the parks, others
rambling about the city, while not few
went down to the Druids picnic at Pckin
on the Anderson. These last were all
left, as the steamer did not get back IN
I'll after the excursion train had gone.
Quite a number had TO remain 10 the city
over night and not few were discussing
the probability of having to count the
ties on their home ward march to day.
