foil lowing program was carried out:

The Old Maids Convention was a
bowling success; the characters were a
success and l.. G. 0chsenreiter ably
| assisted by the entire audience did the
howl ing-the make.ups we're unique and
grotesque. they beggar description. The
local hits, OF which there were a number,
were good aud took the audience by
storm. John Sauer, as Prof. Makeover
was all that could be expected and the
rapidity with which he made over the
Old Spinsters into handsome little girls
and blu shing young damsels was truly
wonderf ul to say Eothing of the dog.
Solos by Madeline Sears and Grace Hull
We're very pretty features o. the pro-
gr am; Miss Mabel Alley rendered q
beautiful solo to the entire satisfaction
OF the audience; while Rev. Mcbride
surprised many by his rendition of a
tenor solo, though by the way the Rev.
gentleman is not an Old Maid but on
this occa } o proved TO be the product
OF Prof. Makeover's machine charged
with tw o old Maids. The rest OF the
cast, the Sainted Maiden Ladies,-but
our inuate modesty, lack of space, and
limited knowledge OF the subject, even
though we are MUCH IN DEMAND, will
not permit us to go into details,
1t was a lau ghable affair from start
to finish and well worthy OF a more
liberal patronage.

this city Friday evening and entered his
new field OF labor i'm the Elevator store
Saturday. The MelIette Tribune has
the following to say OF Mr.. Elliot:
We are sorry 10 zee Elliot Bros go
out OF business here and wish them snc-
cess wherever they may locate IN the
future. Il. W. Elliot, who has been the
head OF the firm, has purchased an in

AS a member of the firm OF Elliot Bros.
and formerly of the firm OF Elliot &
Gange he gained the reputation oil be
ing a shrewd, energetic business man
aud by upright dealing leaves only
friends here. lie will be sadly missed IN
business and social circles, and his
many friends here join The Tribune in
wishing him the abundant success he
will no doubt achieve in his new Local
ton.

off the old block" from both a bueiness
and social stand point we a assure
