DARING ROBBERY

TWO FEET OF TIE
DOOR
OF "hop" Beck re- Barber Shcp-The
Thief Secured Some $50 or Setter
In Cash and Made Good His Escape
Entered by Rear Window.

There was a daring robbery last
evening at the barber shop of Hop
Becker, on Main street. The thief or
thieves entered from the rear window,
by prying that place open, and ad-
vaneed as far as the desk in which the
cash is kept, within two feet of the
front window near the door, under the
newsstand. There the door was priad
open and some $50 we're taken from it.
The money was partly belonging to
Ed. Roney and partly to Mr.. Becker.
The greater part ct it belonged
to Mr.. Becker, and $40 % belonged
to Ed Roney. 1t was reported to the
police, and they are working on the
case without any very tangible clews
to work on. This is the latest reported
of good list of local thefts, many of
them burglaries, and nearly all on
Main street. So far not single one
of the transgressors has been cap
tured. 1t seems that whoever is doing
the work is pretty well versed in GRIM
inal practices and understands his
business well enough to cover up his
tracks after he has done the job.

Miss Miller's playing is always good

Part second was opened by Runge's
orchestra with Gems of Offenbaeh's s

Moses. The music was good. and
lost noting IN its rendition. A lovely
Spring Waltz by Milde, was given
by the chorus and orchestra. This
was one of the liveliest and prettiest
numbers of the evening.
The audience fairly went wild in an
enthusiastic ovation to Mr.. and Mrs.
McGibeney, when they appeared.
When the former began to play OF his
violin the most rapt attention was
accorded by the audience, even the
chronic opera house whisperers forgot
their occupation for a time. The
playing was admirable. The i'm

even over his former artistic perform

appreciated by the audience as round

all parts of the house calling hlm
back again and again. The possibii

IN SOCIETY.
EVENTS THAT INTEREST
THE FOUR HUNDRED.
The Musical Clubs Concert at
the Bradley Last Evening"
Other Pleasant Affairs in So
cial Circles.

A magnificent audience greeted the
performers in the Musical clubs forty
third concert last evening at the Brad
lev opera house. The stage had been
extended several feet, until the space
in front for the orchestra was on a
level with the rest of the stage. The
orchestra took its place, and then the
drop curtain rose, revealing the mem
bers of the chorus on the stage proper.
Applause was gwen spontaneously
when the curtain arose. 1t was par
tcnlarly we'll dressed, fue look ng
chorus. The same thing might also be
said of the audience, with the differ
enee that among the latter were some
ladies who were so impressed with
their Few millinery that they thought
those back of them would rather see
their stock of rag roses and violets
than to see the chorus. and did
not take of their hats during the
performance. The majority of the
ladies', however, had eombed their
hair before they started and could
therefore. take of their hats without
fear.
The first number was an overture
by the orchestra, Italians in Algiers, -
by Rossini. 1t is daintily beautiful
piece, and all its loveliness was
brought out in the interpretation by
Runge and his players. The audience
received the overture with enthusiastic
appreciation, the orchestra number
warming up" the hearers in readi-
ness for the magnificent chorus num-
Der that followed. The beautiful
Fair Ellen" of Max Bruch was given
most musically and IN very satisfae-
tory manner. The chorus parts were
good, and Mr.. Hale's baritone was
pleasing indeed. However, decidedly
the feature :, f that number was the
soprano of Miss Clara Myriek. There
has not been . singer imported

cert work who did her part better oil
