THE WAR CONCERT


-
Drew Fair Sized Audience to the
Opera House Last Night,
A fair sized audience was present at
the Opera House last night to witness
the presentation OF the "War Concert"
given under the auspices of the Ladies
of the G. A. r., but the efforts OF the
various performers we're greatly nppre-
ciated, as was attested BY the frequent
rounds OF applause,
The entertainment consisted In the
presentation Of songs and scenes of
the late war, and they strongly APP
pealed to last nights audience, especl-
ally to the boys who wore the blue. 1t
was under the direction OF Miss Ruth
Hall Meister's orchestra lent its
strains 20 the war melodies, and Miss
Grace Il. Bell, who presided at the pi-
ano, proved an efficient accompanist.
The programme, previously printed in
the Intelligencer was carried out In
detail
The choruses, particularly those by
the children. were very good. and the
little folks dressed in red white and
blue. were grouped on the stage with
pretty effect All the tableaux, In fact,
were decidedly picturesque and Illus
trative of the stirring times when the
blue and gray made American battle
fields. The drills were pleasing fea-
lures and executed with precision, and
the arotesuue costumlng OF "The Home
Guards couldn't have been improved
on.
The songs Of the war were another
ENJOYABLE feature, and ue entertain
ment, as whole, deserved a better
audience.

turning in the alarm. The first appar-
atus getting at work was the city side
chemical, which did effective work, A
line OF hose was soon passed down the
cellar way and stream of water settled
the fire not already extlnguished by the
chemical boys. The smoke was dense
and filled the first story Of the building
and found Its way to the upper stories OF
the building, though not in such dense
clouds.
Police Lieutenant Dan Ingram, while
assisting In removing valuable papers
from the office. had his wrist severely
sprained, and at first 1t was thought the
limb was fractured. officer Michaels

All the fire apparatus OF the entire city
with the exception Of the Island chemical
and Eighth ward engine was at the scene
Of the fire. These two came to grief
while making the run to the fire The
Eighth ward boys were brought to a,
sudden stop on Market street, Just as the
turn was being made off the Market
street bridge at the creek, one Of the
horses slipping and falling heavily to
the pavement Though the tlremen were
badly shaken none was injured and the
horse escaped with bruises on the legs,

telegraph poles. The wagon tongue was
broken and the horses slightly injured,
but as in the case Of the Eighth warders,
