Opinion of One Auditor.

Norfolk, February My Dear Mr..

treat you gave the people of Norfolk on
last Saturday evening, l congratulate
you heartily on the certainly very high
class entertainment provided.
l would speak particularly of the
splendid execution by Mrs. Helen Ham.
ilton on the piano. l have heard that
Tannhauser March many times by
skilled musicians but never before have
l heard it as it vas interpreted by Mrs.
Hamilton at your concert-she excelled
them all.
was also pleased with the charming
manner with which Miss nellie Gerecke
rendered her selections. She has a
voice of sweetness and power, well
trained, used in such a delightfully."-
gracious and unassuming manner that
lent an added charm to the beauty of
the songs. Her rendering of the songs
Love in Springtime," and For all
Eternity" is especially to be commended.
Again thank you for providing such a
musical feast and l wish you all success.
You are at liberty to use this letter as
you think best. Cordially

A MUSICAL TREAT.
J. ~. Surgeons Concert Saturday Evening
Was so Considered by Those Attend
ing-A Ib-days Tour.

was so considered by EhOre Attend
ing-A i5-days' Tour.
j. ID. Sturgeon gave his Norfolk
friends a rare musical treat Saturday
night when he invited them to his store
room in the Pacific block to hear a
sample Of the concerts he is to give
throughout north Nebraska during the
next two weeks. The room was seated
with chairs and the audience of nearly
300 people attending taxed the accommo.
dations to the utmost. All who went
were highly entertained and many ex.
pressed the wish that Mr.. Sturgeon
might give a public concert of the same
character in Norfolk in the near future.
The entertainment was opened with
a very nicely worded announcement by
Miss Roxie Sturgeon who delivered it in
an entertaining manner, explaining the
objects Of the tour and introducing
those taking part.
1t became apparent early in the even
ing that there vas a pleasing affinity
between the audience and the performers
that successfully overcame all formality
and caused the evening to pass most en-
joyably.
Mrs. Helen Hamilton, the pianist,
proved to be an artist possessing a nat.
ural ability that had been highly cult
waited. She was vivacious, had splendid
execution and thrilled the audience
with the tones produced by her magic
touch. Her Interpretation of Brilliantes
Variations and T%annhauser March were
particularly pleasing and for an encore
on the former she sang ''Comlng
Through the Rye" in a manner that
indicated a splendid vocal talent.
Miss nellie Gerecke, the vocalist,
whose pleasing and cultivated voice has
frequently been admired by a Norfolk
audience, was at her best and was com.
PEELED to respond to several encore dur
ing the rendition of the program. Miss
Gerecke improves with each public ap.
pearance and her friends are justified
in the belief that fame awaits her.
Certain it is that few singers who have
appeared before a Norfolk audience
have given equal satisfaction.
The self. play ing organ was a great
novelty and rendered some popular mu
sic in an entertaining fashion, but it did
not prove as popular rs the numbers by
Miss Gerecke and Mrs. Hamilton. 1t
rendered better music, however, than
many who claim to have some ability on
the piano and organ.
The people of the towns fortunate
enough to have secured a date for Mr..
Surgeons concert will find that in
every way it is q high class and appro-
pirate entertainment and the tour should
be a magnificent success. The concert
is first given this evening at Battle
Creek.

Miss Maud Abbott in her Interpretation
of Dolly Faye was very perfect aud she

well handled and, on the whole, it was
one of the most satisfactory plays ever
given in Norfolk.

BLOOD AND IRON.

You could not live an hour without iron in your blood.
 You could not get the benefit of one breath of air without this same iron.
 The blood runs the circuit of the body the lungs each atom of iron takes two atoms of oxygen back with 1t to keep the fires of life going This oxygen destroys waste matter and helps to restore your wasted tissues
 If your blood lacks iron you lack that much of life; you fail that much to keep up lhe needed repair of your bodes-that is you get run down and sick. This ac- counts for the life-giving properties of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. It supplies iron, and to do that 1t Is to restore the full body y-building power to the blood. This Iron has a peculiar ife-quickening func- tion; vitality goes down whenever any proportion of the iron is lacking. Vigor and strength returns just as surely when this element is restored.
 Dr. Harters Iron Tonic helps sick or tired-out people quickest because 1t con- tains the particular blood-making and str9ngth- giving form of iron that the sys- tenn needs This remedy purifies and en- riches the blood. it increases the activity of the stomach, liver and kidneys. It overcomes nervousness and builds up vi- tality and strength. It agrees with the most delicate and deserves your confi- dence because it has been doing all these things for forty-fve years. Prepared only by the pr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, Ohio. Sold everywhere. W

From the New Decatur Advertiser
 On the Fist of the present month the boys and girls of the Alabama Press As sociation will meet at Montgomery and when the session of business is over they Twill go to California and Pacific coast cities, to be absent about two weeks. We shall not go, as we have been over the ground several times before. but we heartily congratulate those who do Sb. No American thoroughly understands his native country till he has had chance to bathe in the waters of the mighty Pacific ocean, for California is quite un- like the East in regard to climate and temperature. We say to all who can, Go" No money you can invest will be better spent than on this trip.
 We learn that large number of rep resentatives of both the daily and weekly press have applied for the privileges of the trip. They want to eat the fruit of the guava, the nectarine. the apricot, the olive, the fig and the almond right from the tree. to bathe In the Pacific in Jan uary and to sleep under a warm blanket in midsummer.
 The members of the association are in- debted to the secretary, MT. Rountree, for this pleasant trip and to the railroads he has coaxed into such a spell of gene rosity. May he live long and prosper and may the sod lie light upon his grave when he dies!

CASHIER WAS SHORT.
Directors Demanded Examination of
 Ills Books and He Was Dead.

Milwaukee. Wis. June 9.-A Sentinel special from Monticello, Wis, says:
 The body of John F. Sears, formerly cashier of the Bank of Monticello, was found June at the foot of a windmill on farm belonging to him about one mile north of this village. His sudden death brought to light the fact that he was financially embarrassed and that at the time of his death the directors of the bank were demanding examinations It is also learned that creditors were grow ing uneasy. These facts furnished the basis for the belief that Sears committed suicide by Jumping from the top of the windmill. Sears bank books are in con fusion but the bank Is amply protected against any possible loss. Those famil- far with his affairs, however, place his liabilities in and outside the bank at about S40.000, and his assets at about $25.0O0 He also executive of creamery company.
