AMUSEMENT NOTES.


The Wheeling News says of the
Brothers Rover. who are to appear at
Harper's theatre next Sunday evening:
g sNext Door, the acrobatic farce at
traction which is no ding the boards
at the Grand opera house the first half
of the week, comes nearer than next
door to satisfying the patrons OF this
popular place of amusement. An
9th ,r large audience was the evidence
last night, and the many pleasing and
Iaughable specialties that make up the
program were received with frequent
applause, and recalls were invariable.
Sherman, the contortionist. is one of
the features of the show, and is m
doubtedly one of the best in his line.
Archie Royer's mixture of comedy
and agility is both novel and anus
ing"
The management of Harper's thea
tire has booked Sevengala for five
nights. commencing next Monday.
He comes highly Endorsed by the
press from all parts of the country, as
the following will attest: ''Seven-
gala. hypnotist of repute, opened

of Music last night. He performed
many wonderful feats, some very.
laughable and others very mystify-

subjects from the audience and es-
pecialIy invites physicians and skep-
tics. Telepathy is given some clever
demonstrations. One of the tests was

Thomas Preston Brooke is native
of the west. His musical inclinations
were evident early in life, and by per-
sistent efforts he obtained thorough
education in theory, harmony, etc
large part of his work in this line be-
ing done in the musical atmosphere
of Boston. His natural talent for
composition is remarkable, and hun
dreds of very successful. marches and
snowy concert numbers bear his
name. 1t is fact that prior to the
craze for two-step marches, Mr..
Brooke's compositions were played
by bands all over America many
times over more frequently than
those of any other composer of band
music, and today he is regarded gen.
orally by band musicians as the
greatest harmonizer among the COM
posers of band music. Mr.. Brooke
and his famous Chicago Marine band
will give one concert only in Daven-
port under the auspices of B p o.
Elks Tuesday next at the Burtis opera
house.
