children, or young men coming into
maturity. Shown to them, the evil
ways of the drinking habit, the curses
OF the bar room, and the tendency to
do wrong, formed by the habit Of
drink. All this and more is shown 10y

The New Band gave the first of d
series Of summer evening concerts last
Saturday, and it made q hit with the
public. In addition to The home boys,
there were five or six Lutheran COL
lege band boys who came up to attend
the La Crosse excursion. AS this band
comprises nearly all the members of
the old band it was not asurprise that
under the skillful direction and in
struction of Prof. Thaler that its
music was of higher order of merit,
and unlike other concert programs to
which our people have listened, was
full Of variety, embracing solos, over
lures and waltZeS instead of marches
entirely. Special mention must be
made of the baritone playing by Jas.
| Budin, whose tone and execution is
faultleSs, he easily being the best
player on that instrument ever a resi-
dent of the city. We know the other
boys in the band will pardon this
reference, for every one of them is
Jolly proud of him. The concerts will
be given each Friday night and the
public may expect some evenings OF
! tirst-claSs music.
