The social committee of the Christian
Endeavor society of the Congregational
church, Miss Minerva Tyler chairman,
gave very enjoyable entertainment in the

d. W. Truss & Co., the well-known
theatrical managers of New York, are the
sole owners and managers of the great
comic opera success, wang" which will
come to the Auditorium next Thursday
evening. This itself is guarantee of the
excellence of the performance. The fact

alone gives an idea of the elaborateness

Geo. b. Hit, who returned Wednesday
night from a trip to Minneapolis taken in
the interest of holders of Kelley securities,
confirms the reports already given of the
condition of the FIRMS affairs. The assets
of the firm, as shown in the list filed by
the assgnees, consist largely of equities,
and many of these equities, 1t is feared,
will prove to be of doubtful value when
carefully appraised. The assignees will
make the best settlement of the estate
which is possible, but it is doubtful if, aft
er paying its expenses, a very large percent
age will be realized. The large volume o.
loans which were conservatively made By
the Kelleys, and are still in force, are moi
affected by the assignment. The losses
will fall upon those holding loans which
have been paid to the Keleys, and fo
which remittances were not made.
