MUSIC AND MUSCLE.
Pleasant Entertainment at Y. M. C.
A. Hall Last Evening.
A CreditabIe Programme Rendered
to a Crowded House.
Success Attends the Efforts of the
Ladies' Auxiliary.

That very creditable entertainment
can be given by local talent was proven to
the satisfaction of all spectators who wit
messed the rendition Of an excellent pro-
gramme at Y. NJ. @. A. hall last night.
The entertainment was given under the
auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary Society.
OF course they were compelled to invoke
tie assistance Of the sterner sex, in whose
behalf they are laboring.
The liberal patronage accorded the en-
tertainment is very gratifying to the dis
interested promoters. The proceeds will
be applied to the purchase OF a stove and
other furniture needed in the Y. NJ. G..
A. rooms.
The first number on the carefully pre-
pared programme was a pretty instru-
mental duet by the Misses Whipple and
Williams. 1t was rendered with fine
artistic effect and wa heartily applauded.
A tableau, playing Church" by the
young people attired in appropriate Co.'S
tunes, was true to life.
Miss Nellie Patterson's solo "Esmeral-
da" was fully appreciated. The lady was
in splendid voice and filled the hall with
rare melody. To an enthusiastic encore
she responded with a comic selection called
Il Wouldn't, Would Your" All who
heard Miss Patterson sing last evening
are convinced that the school board was
fortunate in securing the services ofsuch a
charming vocalist and accomplished musi-
clan to take charge of the musical depart
ment of the schools.
Miss Mary j. Lathtrop related a couple
of anecdotes and delivered a pleasing rccita-
ton in her characteristic style.
The soldiers dream, a beautiful tableau
in two scenes, was applauded to the echo.
1t aroused the patriotic spirit of the
audience and consequently was favored.
Mrs. Mason and Mr.. Isham sang with
fine effect the duet 81 would That My
Love"
The Indian club swinging by the Misses
McCrum, Rishel, Leibey, Whipple and
johnson was a revelation to the audience.
The silent drill evinced that much arduous
training had been done by the expert
manipulators,
1t is not generally conceded that the
parallel bars should be used in an exhibit
ton, but the feats performed by the
Messrs. Wilkes, Adamsky and Schilling
on this portion of the gymnasium appara-
tus last evening were one ofthe features of
the programme.
By special request Mr.. Isham sang in
inimitable style the comic story of love
and wa entitled Peter Gray" In re-
Spouse to vigorous applause he repeated
the final stanza of the ditty.
Messrs. Wilkes and Adamsky per-
formed many neat and dangerous acts
requiring nerve and muscle, on the hori-
zontal bar.
"The tableau "Opcn your mouth and
shut your eyes and FL give you some
thing to make you wise" was very clev-
erly done.
Mr.. Miller is a fine specimen Of muscu-
lar manhood, and showed himself an
adert at swinging heavy Indian clubs.
The dry humorist who conceived the
rendition of the qparteite 1--WE silently
steal away" deserves a decoration.
Following the exercises wa a social.
Many remained to enjoy the pleasant
occasion.

came down to Denver a few days ago to
visit his old friend, Peter McCourt, of the
opera house. This is Mr.. McGilIs first
visit to Denver, and he is so favorably
impressed with it hat it will require but
little persuasion to make him a voter, es-

HOUSEHOLD ExPENsEs.
Excerpts From County Clerk Jeffrey's
Report For 1887.

The appended figures are taken from
the annual report of County Clerk JEFF
frey. The statement includes items in
which all tax payers will be deeply inter
ested. The entire itemized report will be
published in THE LEADER next week.
The total county expense for the year
1887 amounted to S115, SS7. Sc, as against
$92, 246. 90, an increase of 1913, GAO. &C.
OF this sum $40, 100. IS has been expend-
ed in permanent improvements, as fol
lows:
Lusk lall..""""."-...-"".....S 936 65
Additional court house ground. 5000 0O
New cells, county jail.............. 3,1S6 10
Iotal"..".."....-...."..... $lO,122 rs
In this sum might also be included
$500 paid as a compromise to avoid costly
litigation with the patentees of an appli.
ance in use in the cells. 1t is probable
that much other money was disbursed
necessarily or judiciously which cannot
properly be included in the legitimate
running expenses of the county.
The Trumble, Mccoy, Germs, Ketchum
and DeCastro trials, strictly Lusk bust
ness, caused the disbursement of many
thousands OF dollars which might other.
wise have remained in the treasury.
The affairs of the county have been
economically administered, but unforeseen
unavoidable and costly incidents have oc-
Cured to assist in depicting the treasury.
However, let it not be presumed for an
instant that the county is in a bad way
financially. True, its monetary condition
might be better, but con sidering the vast
Improvements that have been made, valu-
able property acquired and number of
criminals prosecuted, an increase in the
expense account had been autici ,ated by
all.

What A Mistake !

| A careful examination would convince any one
that two-thirds of all the people in New England
have been or are now afflicted with catarrh of the
nose and throat.
No doubt more chan half of those persons have
tried every blood purifier they have SEEM with the
erroneous idea that catarrh is a constitutional dis
ease and must be purged out of the blood.
Why, greater mistake was never madei Stop
for moment and think or ask any reputable phys
ician what common catarrh is, and what causes it,
and the answer be only this "Its irritation
or inflammation of the mucous membrane of the
nose and throat, caused by neglected colds, damp
piercing irritable Winds foreign matter in the air
which is poi sonous to some persons and not to 9TH
just the bites of certain insects is poisoned
torture to some and has no unpleasant effect npon
Others" The reason for this is found in the struct
ure of the outer skin and its counterpart which
lines all the inner organs of our bodies. Some peo-
pie have chapped hands and chillblains and others
are so afflicted because of the peculiar struct-
ure of the skin of different individuals.
Therefore stop dosing. 1t is not blood purifiers
you want, but good wholesome food the palmer the
etter, then keep your feet dry and warm your
head cool and bowels open," and use an external
application, (Johnsons Anodyne Liniment is the
best we know, to allay the Inflammation, cleanse
the surface heal the sores, and your catarrh viii
+ disappear like magic. We do not say never to
return, because you may severe cold and in
three months catch another equally bad, with
catarrh and bronchial troubles. Exposure may
bring it on again. We learned more about treating
catarrh from the wrapper around bottle of John
sons Anodyne Liniment, than we ever knew. Ger

Ammoniated Bread.

Ammoniated baking powders-that is,
baking powders in which carbonate Of
ammonia is used as an ingredient, and
which exhale an odor of ammonia when
heated-are classed by many eminent
physicians and sanitarians as superior to
all others. Professor Hassell, of London,
who is recognized as highest authority
on the subject Of food hygiene, commends
in the strongest terms the use of carbon
ate of ammonia as a leavening agent,
stating its great advantage to be in per-
feet volatility, which permits it to be, by
the heat of baking, entirely thrown into
leavening gas whereby the bread is rails
ed. The experiment with heat would
seem to indicate the superior, not the in
ferior, value of such baking powder. The
little heat that is impaired to it when
held over gas jet, lamp, or stove, sutices
to resolve the carbonate of ammonia into
leavening gas and throw it off. The first
heat of baking, therefore, will effectually
develop all the gas, thoroughly leaven
the loaf and dissipate the gas producing
ingredients of a powder of this kind and
this is the highest test of perfect baking
powder. When other alkalies alone are
used they are not infrequently retained,
uuresolved, through the whole process of
baking. and remain an unwholesome in
gredient in the finished bread. The car
Donate of ammonia cannot be used as
substitute for cream of tartar.-NelC York

There was a tragic murder in Lisbon,
n. H., on the 18th inst. The victim was
Orrin M. Steere. farmer about 80 years
old, who lived in a retired locality, three
miles from Lisbon village. The tragedy
was the result of a family quarrel, the
whole crowd bearing a hard name. In
the house a double barreled gun which
belonged to Steere was found with ore
of its barrels empty. L. T. Williams,
Mrs. Steere's brother, has been arrested
for the crime, and she has been taken
into custody. The quarrel is supposed
to have arisen from money matters.
