standing room was at Il premium. The
entertainment was a decided success.
A most happy programme had been
selected for the occasion, and the eX-
cellent rendition thereof was univers-
ally plimented, the participants
all evidencing rare aptitude and splen-

large audience frequently manifested
its approval in prolonged and repeat |

and commented on. The net receipts |
of the evening were about $40; of this |
amount $40 will be applied to the bal |

remainder given to the library fund. !
The teachers and pupils alike are to |
be congratulated on the notable sue |

who was the Republican candidate for
Congress against Edward Robb ia the
thirteenth district of Missouri at the
last election, is here looking for Fed

an application for Assistant Librarian

that there were about 500 applicants
for that job and he abandoned it, and
