The RailWaH lTenis IN


The heavy rain of last Thursday
evening was not favorable for large
attendance at the railway mems New
Years ball. but at least 70 couples took
part in the grand march. The man
agement, with eommendsble foresight,
had a line of conveyances ready to
transport the guests to the hall, to
supper and then home. The music
was very good, being furnished by the
Marsh orchestra Of Norton, consisting
Of six pieces.
With the rain keeping accompani-
ment to tbs music the old year was
danced out and the New Year waltzed
in. At midnight the guests we're taken
to supper at the Thomas boarding
house, and upon returning the pro
gramme vas gone through to the
"Sweet Home" waltz, which every well
ordered ball winds up On.
Everyone present had nothing out
praise at the manner in which the bali
was managed, and. diseonraging as the
outlook vas at six O'Clock, the BAH was
pronounced one Of the most successful
ever held Ia Goodland.

0L. G. Moore was seen by a REPUBLIC
reporter Saturday, and, while refusing
to discuss in detail the incidents lead
ing up to the trouble between him and
Lancaster, said that he was but defend
ing the rights the laws grant to any
man. That the pFeYOoatiOn was great,
and had gone beyond the limit of suf-
france before he resented it. He said
he entertained no fear but what he
will be honorably acquitted of the charge
on which he will be aFraigned and that
the truth af the matter will justify mis-
aotiOns in every particular The report
that he used "knuckles" OF that he had
any intention of seriously injuFiDg
Lancaster he brands as false, and en-
anating from those who are seeking to
build up prejudice against him. There
are always two sides to every question
The sporting history of Goodland
records but one instance in which an
outsider ever left town with more than
he brought with him. They have gen.
orally walked out Of town bankrupt
The case of exception was one in which
two very astute sports tiimhammed q
local faro dealer out a gOod-sized roll
Said dealers eyesight had become i'm,
paired by long nights of weary striving
to look innocent of bluflng with bob,
tail. The strangers were next to the
dealers failing, and when they secured
his assent to deal them a solitary SNAP
for 81 900, they had him going. Whether
or not they did things to the cards, OF
whether they simply took advantage Of
the dealers infirmities, no one but the
strangers knew, and they never told
The things that are certain are that a
big sum of gambling money left town
and that it was the first and last time
such a thing ever occurred.

THE CHORAL UNION.
! Boulder's Popular Musical Society Coming
/ Prominently to the Front.

Boulder's Popular Musical Society Coming
Prominently to the Front
There are number of organizations
in our city that the people OF Boulder arc
proud of and among them stands proml
nently the Choral union. Last year this
society presented THE Messiah" Han
dels masterpiece. This was rare treat
and was enjoyed by splendid audience.
The Choral union did great service to
our people in giving them an oPportun'
ity to hear the finest music in our own
home town, assisted by some of the best
artists in the state.
This year the union has prepared for
presentation the great Oratorlo "EliJah,
by Mendelssohn. This is an O1atorio
that rivals the messiah and being full
of stirring incidents that please and cap.
tivate even those who may be uncultured
in classical music. 1t is considered by
many musicians more popular than the
messiah" Mendelssohn was every
thing that is great in music; he united
the highest qualities of Bach and Bee.
tnoven. There is a novelty of style, a
charm of sentiment grand and easy OF
appreciation.
Boulder always responds to high
grade performance whether literary OF
musical. Our people have ever shown
their taste for music by the eagerness
with which they attend high grade
musical entertainment, and our singer:
show their aptitude for music by the
excellence of their performance. The
su superiority of our Choral singing i:
acknowledged by all who have had ex
perience along that line.
Boulder being the university town o1
our state, she is like ancient Athens, "the
eye of Greece, the mother Of arts anc
oratory"-the eye of Colorado and the
center of the best culture Of our grea
state. And the rendition Of Elijah" by
the union, so soon to come, will no doubt
be patronized as it should be-that i:
every seat will be taken and full appre'
citation shown the union in giving oul
people the finest music known, assisted
by the best musical talent in the state.
