COMMITTEE.
"Mose" the widely known news boy
of Des Moines, whose voice combines
the soft notes Of calliope and tug
boat in distress, delivered the address
of welcome to the Pan. American con-
|
visit at the capital of Iowa. Probably
"Mose could have grated more effec.
tire before the committee that re-
duced the sojourn of the distinguished |
delegation from two hours to the stingy
thirty minutes.

The inimitable Robert Buchanan and
his select company of specialists, has
been playing to delighted Audubon au-
diences this week, closing last evening.
The company as whole Is much above
the average and in It's specialties Is I'M
excclled. The character of the plays
presented by Mr.. Buchanan is such as
to deserve the patronage Of all. The |
superb orchestra, the violin solos by
Robert Buchanan, cornet solos by Ed
gar Buchanan, and the fine vocal rendi-
tions by Miss Matte La Rue constitute
in themselves first class musical en-
tertainment worth more than the price
of admission. All are artists in their
respective lines. Altogether the enter
tainments are of high merit, with fea-
lures so varied as to afford something
to please all. We hope the excellent
patronage Mr.. Buchanan has received
while here will induce him to come
again. |,
The race which was run at Harlan on
Saturday, the 18th inst. between Albert
Tharnish and one Gish was won by the
latter, but later events show that Thar
nish is still on his feet and in good trim.
The sprinter Gish prior to the Gish-
Tharnish dash had race with one Le-
on Lozier, q travelling sign painter, in
which LoZier easily won. With this
record Lozier was the champion foot
racer about Harlan, and the speculative
sports of that town Were willing to back
him for any amount that could be put
up for any other man Accordingly
race was arranged between Lomer and
Tharnish to take place at Grand June
ton on Thursday, the 18th. The Har-
Ian sports drew the full amounts of
their bank accounts and accompanied
the sprinters to Grand Junction, and
put up everything on Lozier. Someone ;
was found to meet them with bets on
Tharnish, so that each side had 1906 at
stake-a total rake off Of $1012. The
stakes seemed to be an inspiration to l
Tharnish for he led off in good style I
and won the race, leaving Lozier and
his Harlan friends in the turreen. The
Harlan papers are in sore distress be-
cause Lozier couldn't get there and
charge him with treachery, but this Is
very unkind to their Splinter. The
losers must remember that Tharnish is
winner on the track, because he can
run just as fast as the urgencies of the
case demand. Bet your money on |;
Tharnish next time, gentlemen.
