All About The Town.
The round of gayety continues among
Denison folks. Every evening wines
ses some new species of fun. Wednres-
day is the beginning Of the Lenten sea-
son and we presume it will cause a
diminution of the festivities.
On Friday evening the 5lst Regiment
Band gave a splendid concert at the
opera house. They had

CONCERT. tive audience, and the
concert came fully up
to expectations. The Denison boys
who were in the 51st gave their former
comrads a cordial reception, the more
so because they could remember when
the band boys had laid aside cornet ana
basso and assumed the sterner lnstru-
ments of war to fight in the ranks.
The music was of a high order and
places the 51st Regimental Band as
among the very best musical organlzai
tions the state has ever had. The dis
play of Philippine curios wasinteresting
to those close enough to the stage to
get the benefit of them. The Filipino
boy looked like good Carlysle Indian.
Our people wish the soldier musicians a
most successful continuance OF their
tour.

stronger than is generally presented by
a repertoire company, but the different
parts were ably handled by the strong
caste of characters which they carry.
Louise Carter (Seymour) in the role OF
''Mae Barnes" completely captivated
the audience and brought tears to the
eyes of many as she touchingly portray
ed some of the sad scenes in the play.

with words of praise for her ability.
Mr.. Wilson Reynolds took the part OF
.'Rob't. Barnes and proved himself
we'll able to handle even the most diff
cult parts. Mr. NJ III. Hartman as
Squire Squares was exceptionally good
and made many friends throughout the
audience, while Miss Francis Sicily
and Mr.. Lee Hickman in their strictly
up o-date cake walk, brought down
the house. Arthur Jennings gave a
buck and wing dance that was the best
ever seen in this city. The musical
features under the direction of Prof.
