It is hoped and eN- pected. therefore, that this second per fCrIrance will net something for the encampment. New features will be added which will tend to make the performance more interesting than tie previous one. and what with the added eXDcrience of that first performance and the laboriOuS rChGars0ls that are now being held. it may be expected that the performers will acquit them selves with far more credit than on the previous occasion. The sale Ct seats will open Monday. prices being .JJI\-0 and IJ cents.

SUNDAY NIGHT CONCERT.

The Nashville Students and Gideon's s NIinstrels return to the Jacques for big sacred concert tomorrow evening. Large audiences attended the perform ances given by this combined company in the early part of the week, and they are unanimous in declaring it q very fine singing organization. In- deed. it is very doubtful if any colored singers at least have ever appeared here who could outdo them, both stu dents and minstrels being specially gifted in the vocal line. The program as made up for tie concert includes many of the regular plantation melo- dies and coon songs introduced at the regrlars performances and in addition will offer. some of the sacred melodies sung at colored church services and camp meetings. It will be seen. there- fore. that it will be most enjoyabke concert and should draw oub a large

DOWN MOBILE.


 Lincoln J. Carter's new comedy drama, Down NNIobile,' will be the attraction at the Jacques on Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday, opening with a special matinee on Monday. The play has made a great success, rivallng the other fine productions from MT Carter's pen. It has been pronounced by some enthusiastic critics the finest picture of negro life that has been pre- scented to the public since the palmy days of Uncle Toms Cabin. It IS a play that brings out vividly with many exciting events the supelstltious beliefs of the ignorant negroes ana some of the whites ill the south, and in it voodooism plays prominent part. The piece is based on actual life studies made by MT Carter during q prolonged stay ill the voodoo dis trictS of Alabama.

Mr.. Auld's Statement to the Public.

Dickinson, N. D., May 9, 1900.
To All Whom it May Concern:
Inasmuch as a statement has been
made and given wide publicity that l
had signed a petition or other paper ask
ing that the saloons in this place be
closed up, l take this means of saying
that never at any time have l seen,
known off or signed any such petition or
paper, nor have / at any time made any
speech Or talk that could be construed
even by the liars that gave circulation
to this ghost story-into advocating the
closing Of the saloons, and any statement
that | either signed any such. paper or
made such talk is a malicious and bare
faced lie, without any foundation what
eve
The only papers affecting the saloons
that / have ever signed have been
licenses to sell liquid drinks, issued by
order of the board of trustees of the
village ordinance No. /, which was
drawn up and presented to the board
byL. A. Simpson, the village attorney,
and regularly passed by them, which
ordinance required me to sign such
licenses as village clerk.
Respectfully,
