The Drummer Boy of Shiloh

Taking an interest as he does in all
that is best in the amusement line, and
that pertains to the welfare and best en-
tertainment for the people, Manager
Haskell has arranged to bring the Car
rington "Greater America" company
here for one performance to be given on
the evening OF Monday April %.
One OF the great features of this COM
pany is the world-famous Drummer
Boy OF Shiloh. one of Americas most
historic characters, who has created fu-
rore wherever he has appeared, and
who entered the service OF his country az
a drummer boy in 1861, when a mere lad
of II years, was only II years Of age
when the battle OF Shiloh (Which gaze
him his title) was fought, was the young
est regularly enlisted soldier, according
to the official records, experienced an ac-
tual service in the field of four years
and four months, was present at the
first, was present at the last, was pres
ent at twenty three battles and skirm-
ishes during the great American Civil
war of the rebellion, was wou ndsd, was
captured, was reported dead, and his
funeral sermon was preached. Such is
the historic record OF, without doubt,
the greatest drummer that ever lived,
and the only drum soloist in the world.

ODD FELLOWSHIP
Presentation of Fine Bible by the
Rebekahs Last Night, to Mesa
Lodge No. SO L. o. o. f.

One of those social occasions for which
the lodge of Rebekah Is noted for in
this city, was given as a surprise upon
the members of Mesa lodge No. So l. Y.
o. F. last night.
A note in the press of the city that
there would be business of Importance
transacted at the regular meeting of the
Odd Fellows. brought out large crowd
OF the members of Odd Fellowship.
At nine o'clock there was an alarm at
the portal Of the lodge room, delivered
in peremtory manner. When it was
responded to by the sentinel, he dis
covered about twenty members Of Grand
Valley Rebekah lodge No. 40 headed by
Noble Grand, Miss Rose McCary de-
manding admittance to the lodge room.
Coming from such a bevy of womanhood,
who were known to be exemplars Of
good Oddfellowship, Noble Grand j. M.
Graham, at the instance of the member
ship of the lodge gave notice to admit
the delegation. They were admitted
and marching to the centre of the lodge
room they laid upon the altar Of the Or
der one of the most beautiful bibles
that could be obtained. Inscribed in
gilt leeters on the outside cover, which
was of the finest grade Of book morocco,
was the following incription MESA
Lodge No. SO l. o. o. F." Without any
preliminary whatever and with the best
feelings Imaginable, Noble Grand Rose
McCary, of the Rebekahs presented che
bible, as token of esteem to the lodge.
The thought and act which prompted
the present were set off by Miss McCary
IN choice language and was heartily ap-
plauded at it's conclusion.
In the same manner and with the
spirit OF the occasion upon him j. M.
Graham, the chief officer of the order
responded to the presentation of Miss
McCary.
This was the open sesame to the lodge
and afterwards the ladies did the honors
again in providing substantial lunch.
Following the lunch Rev. o. E. Osten-
son and II. l., Philips spoke very pleas
antly to the good Of the order
Mrs. Steel and Leon Chapman favored
| the occasion with two choice and en-
| joyable recitations, which were greatly
/ appreciated.
Taken the occasion all in all it was one
OF the most enjoyable ever spent in the
lodge room and welded more closely the
bond of friendship and the ties OF frater-
nifty between the two orders.

ROADS BLOCKED
BY HEAVY SNOW
All Traffic in Cripple Creek Dis
trict Stopped Yesterday-All
Through Trains Tied up

Denver, April 16-In it's effect upon
traflc the storm of the past forty eight
hours has been the most severe with
which the railroads have had to contend
for many years. The storm king select
ed the Cripple Creek district and the
country between there and Denver for
his furry. So far as can be learned,
not wheel is turning on any of the
lines reaching the great gold camp and
complete tie up of ore shipments is the
result.
While the storm has been general over
the territory west of the Missouri river
to the mountains, it has not interferred
with the movement of trains east OF
Springs no the Midland, Colorado
Springs to Salida on the Rio Grande,
Santa Fe and Colorado & Southern, on
the South Park line and over the Cripple
Creek district, the blizzard was the
worst ever experienced and no trains
have come through on any OF the lines
since early yesterday morning.
high wind is blowing and the snow,
being light, is drifted in the deep cuts
faster than it can be taken out. To
make matters worse the blizzard is ac-
companied by cold so intense that work
mon who are exposed cannot remain
outside to exceed thirty minutes at a
time.
TID;Op h FUR rtrau
working between Denver and Kansas
City and the storm makes all wires work
heavy and slow SO that it is diftiult to
get information to many points.
Not wheel is turning on the Midland
Terminal. A train which left Divide
yesterday having seventy passengers on
board stuck in the snow when only
eleven miles from it's starting point, and
is still there. Fuod for the nearly fam
ished passengers was packed in today by
men on foot.
The Colorado Midland was blocked
between Florissant and Colorado Springs,
the storm being light west Of Florissant
and trains running on time between
there and Grand Junction.
No. 6 from Grand Junction came as
far as Florissant aud is standing on the
siding there awaiting the opening of the
line.
One of the rotary plows and Hangers
from Colorado Springs is working on the
drifts. 1t is possible that the line will
be opened tonight though not probable
il the storm continues
The Denver g. Rio Grande is com
pletely tied up between Littleton and
Colorado Springs. Nos. 3 and 15 left
Denver last night and are blockaded at
Castle Rock, where the passengers are
anxiously awaiting relief. A hanger is
at Colorado Springs with two engines to
attack the blockade and wedge plow
also driven by two engines, is at Castle
Rock.
The Santa Fe situation Is 80 serious
that il could not be worse but it will
move trains between Denver and the
south as soon as any other road. Two
passenger trains, three freight trains
and rotary snow plow are completely
showed in.
