Grand Army Benefit.

The G.. A. r. benefit entertainment
at Cornell Hall last Saturday night
was quite well patronized and the pro-
gram was given in full. Perhaps the
best number was the tableau, a group
statue representing the army and the
navy, G. II. Trotter posing for the
former and II. S. Dennis for the latter
branch of Uncle Sans service. TIE
Patriots Drill which was first present
ed last Decoration Day was repeated
and was cordially received. The Gun
Drill was well executed, and Miss
Edna Dwyer made a good command
ing officer. The negro farce "Uncle
Jeff' by six young men, two of whom
represented women, provoked consid-
cradle laughter. The makeup of the
boys was good, but some of them were
afflicted with stage fright. The old
soldiers realized 3 neatsum from the
entertainment.

Dangerous but Amusing.

While on their way to Rosebud Sun
day J.. W. Spirk and Adolph Heller
had an exciting runaway which might
have been much more serious than it
fortunately was. When about four
miles out of town the team became
frightened and started to run, nnally
colllding with a telephone pole, tearing
it to the ground. In the melee which
followed Messrs Spirk and Heller were
dumped out of the buggy, the latter
making a flying leap through the air
apparently with the intention of riding
one of the horses, but missing the
equine he seemed to think a mud pud-
die was The next best place to light, so
he steered for that and struck the pud-
die in the center. While Mr.. Heller
was performing this interesting aero
battle feat MI. Spirk was trying to do
the "mysteriuus disappearance" act by
getting himself tangled up in the
buggy top, but finally "bobbed up
serenely' at the side of the road. BY
this time the team had turned around
and started for town, but were cap
tured by a farmer before they had
gone very far. The rig was not much
damaged, and after a little amateur
repairing had been done to 1t the two
pilgrims started for Rosebnd again. y
weak neckyoke caused all the trouble
by allowing the buggy pole to drop to
the ground.
