Beach & Bowers minstrels ap-
peared Tuesday night to we'll
filled house. And while a number
of the specialties were excellent,
the entertainment on the whole was
disappointment. The program
does not run smoothly and gives

cut and spliced and altered gener-

which no doubt it was. This may
do f,r zone night stands" but is
poor business if return engage

Fred Reise, who was recently
badly injured in Albany, by the
explosion of an ecetylene tank, at
which time S. Stoltz was killed, is
slowly recovering. His injuries
are mostly about the face. Itis re-
ported in this city that the doctors
fear some kind of poisoning as the
result of acetylene and corroded
particles of metal that were blown
into his face. 1t is not known yet
whether these fears are well ground
ed or not, but it is hoped not. A
matter of local interest connected
with this item is the fact that the
tank was being prepared for ship,
ment to this city, where it was to
have been placed in the Episcopal
church, when it exploded.

claiming the attention of voters
were being considered by that BODY,
