THE CANTATA.

The beautiful cantata, "The Flower
Queen" was rendered at the city hall
Wednesday evening under the auspi-
ces of the ladies of the Presbyterian
church. Mrs. G. w. Botkin of Hutch.
insOn, Kan, an excellent musician and
efficient trainer of ch0ruses, had full
charge and by her assiduous excrtions
the cantala was given to the perfect
satisfaction of the large audience who
witnessed it. Mrs. Botkin shows a
distinctive talent for this sort of work
and the skill she has shown in this
piece entities her 10 the support as
well as admiration Of all lovers OF
pure and perfect music.
The selection Of the caste of charac.
tiers was good throughout and all did
well and were duly appreciated by the
audience. Miss Leila Sands and Rn-
BY Tucker sang their parts perfectly
and were enthusiastically encOred, but
as there was scarcely al error in the
whole cantata IL is useless 10 mention
the work of each one In detail. Mrs
Botkin speaks very highly of the tai
ented young pupils who took part in
the piece and she hopes TO organize a
class IN vocal music before she leaves
It is to BIZ hoped that she will he met
in the proper spirit and that her efforts
towards the development of the must
cal talent in our young ladies will be APP
preciated and substantially supported.

Wheat advanced three cents a BUSH
el in Chicago on Tuesday. This sud.
den rise was caused by the order Of
the Russian government refusing the
expectation Of rye during the present
year. We have repeatedly urged our
farmers TO hold their wheat. You
need 10 syndicate, clique, or public
warehouses. Hold your grain and
you will get big price for it. The
supply and demand theory is this year
in favor of the crop raiser and holder.

The drama of tho Gypsy Queen,
which was given at the city hall Mon-
day night by local amateur compa-
ny, was attended by large, select and
appreciative audience. II was q good
play and well played and our young
amateurs may well feel proud of their
Efforts. Some OF our best young la
dies and young gentlemen took part
In the play and TO any right thinking
mind their moral characters have not
suffered to any great extent. Between
acts Mr.. D'Ornond took occasion to
come before the audience and de.
nouncc in round terms and classical
language Il certain clerical gentleman
who it is reported has publicly and
privately slurred the whole dramatic
fraternity, amateurs and professionals
as well. Mr.. DUrmond gave q short
history Of the drama aud mentioned a
few prominent actors and actresses
whose pure moral and virtuous lives
would stand forever as q reproof
against all calumny. His remarks
were vociferously and continuously
applaudetl by the entire audience.

We are sure to have another rainy
time during the reunion unless Col.
McGregor is willing to defer his py-

Scientists have demonstrated the fact
that explosions fired in the atmosphere
will produce rain and McGregor is
laying in a supply of fireworks,
bombs, rockets, japanese idols and ar
my beans that will produce delurge.
We have had all the rain we need for
one summer and it looks Ike flying In
the face of providence to turn loose
car load of explosives just at tine
when we want sunshine and fair
weather.
