Inc Junior PIOneePS ApprOpFf-
ateiy Celebrate Their Second
Anniversary.
The second anniversary of the RAM
sey County Junior Pioneers was cele-
brated in very happy manner last
evening at the Elks' hail. Music, song
and recitations were interspersed so
prettily that the time taken up by the
programme seemed short indeed, and
each and every one seemed aStoniShed
that the line, TO conclude with hop"
was reached so soon. The Twin City
Mandolin club opened the entertain
ment with selections by quartette,
which they had to repeat before they
were allowed TO retire, +. e. IngerSOll.
one of the ablest and brightest Juniors
the society boasts of, gave short adj
dress relative to the society, its aims
and objects, which proved not only en-
tertaining but instructive as well. The
first vocal selection had now been
reached, and when Oscar Lienau took
position beside the piano. with Charles
b. POttgieSer as accOmpaniSt, the audi
ence knew there was musical treat
in store for them. "A Dream of
Spring." as tenor solo, was rendered
in an exquisite fashion, and when MI.
Lienau took his seat, although it had
been tacitly agreed by members that
there should be no encOreS owing to.
the length of the programme. the audi
ence would not allow two such local
musical celebrities as MessrS. Lienau
and POttgieser to go without repeti-
ton. A wise selection had been made
by the committee in putting piano
duet next on the programme, and every
lady in the assemblage looked eagerly
forward as President Starkey intro
duced Mrs. Jennie Melville and Miss
Clara Stiebling. These two ladies. in
pretty white evening costume. held the
audience Spell-bOund as the clear
notes of the piano were waited
through the hall. No entertainment of
the Juniors would be complete without
little fun, and the mere mention of
the name of Harry Holland caused a
smile to overSpread the features of
every one present. As Mr.. Holland APP
peared before the audience the smile
became a broad grin, ana ere he had
finished his opening remarks, it changed
to roar of laughter, which, like the
ocean wave breaking against the rock
hound coast. could be heard for blocks
around. His first selection was bet
between newly welded couple, given
in the German dialect, and was so we'll
appreciated that he followed with an
imitation of a negro preacher. Up to
this point none of the lady vOcalistS had
been heard from, but good thing was
in store, which every one knew who had
heard her before, when Miss Camelia
Jensen, with Miss Sophie Ellingson as
accompanist, stepped to the piano.
Miss Jensen has one of the pref
test and sweetest soprano voices
that one could wish to hear. How He
Saved ST. Michaels" was rendered in an
admirable manner by Miss Minnie
Kiefer, whose clear, bell-like voice
reached every corner of the hall, and
when the climax was reached by the
slave who had saved st. Michaels Spurn-
ing the offer of gold. she was the recip-
lent of an ovation of applause. Aid.
Gehan, with Charles POttgeiser as ac-
cOmpaniSt, was next on the programme
for song selections, but, owing to en-
gagements, he could not appear. Pres
ident Starkey then announced Miss Ruth
Klmball in the recitation bay Char
lie." That Miss kimball is recognized as
an eloeutiODist of ability was fully at
tested by the applause she received as
she stepped upon the platform. In
delineating the remarkable race of life
and death that the Union colonel had
on Bay Charlie her voice and gestures
carried the audience with her to such
an extent that they almost rose from
their seats as she described the jump
for life over the gate and left the rebels
behind. Miss Klmball is the author OF
bay Charlie" and the pleasing man
ner in which she has introduced dash
of sport by comparing the rebel yell
after Bay Charlie to the cheers at a
race track, thus squirting him on to
victory. is quite novelty. The TWIN
City Mandolin club gave another selec-
ton, after which the hop commenced
and was continued till early morning.
