al choir at the residence OF Alex Ross
Friday evening was a brilliant success.
The feature OF the occasion was the
musical program. l.. c. Parker de.
lighted the audience with d Humber of
songs and selections on the violin, the
best OF them being those of his own
composition. L. c. Is quite an artist in
the musical line and is deseryedly pop
clar.
A comma is a very small thing, bat
another case of making quite a differ
ence where it is placed has just come to
our attention. Some one handed II
local item to a Greedy paper saying: |
1.-TWO young men from Leota went
with their girls to Tribune to attend
the teachers institute, and "a soon as
they left, the girls got drunk" The
comma belonged after girls. III last
accounts the editor OF the paper was

The Ainsworth musical depot in
the Wallace Block, under the direction
OF I. c. Olson is now the popular resort
for musicians OF the city-the place
where they make purchases, OF all kinds
of sheet music and musical merchandise
generally. They sell such celebra ted
makes in pianos as Harry f. Miller,
Lakeside, Meuifeld, Schubert, Kimball,
Schimmel, Kipgsbury and Conover. In
organs Clough & Warren, Farrand &
Votey, Western Cottage and Chicago
Cottage.
Theodore Twetti is again at the helm
Of the Bristol Courier. There has been
some talk OF the paper being moved
from Bristol, but we are OF the opinion
that the business people of that enter
prising little berg will rally to the sup
port OF the Courier and keep it there.
The Reporter extends the fraternal p1S~
to brother Twett and is glad to well
come him back into the ranks. He
makes the Courier a bright, newsy,
chatty, local sheet, well deserving the
hearty support OF the community in
which it is published, and we predict he
will get it.

Mimi, aud are onyinced they are the
best orchestra that has ever visited
Webster. La the progrsm are intro
duced many new and highly pleasing
features, the ALUMINIUM. chimes, Swiss
bells and chimes, and the combination
marimbaphone and somerphone-one
selection on either is worth the price OF
admission. No lover of music can afford
Ia miss this en- entertainment, while to the
lover OF the Terpsichorian the evening
will certainly prove n OF exceptional
enjoyment. Ono Oh the best recon-
~mendations the orchestra has received
