M'KlNLEY MEMORIAL FUND

Will be Made.-Nez Perce Gives 5000.

VIII DC Made.-Nez Perce Gives $500.
Some time ago the governor of this
state appointed committee to look after
the collection of contributions for the
Mckinley Memorial association. The
committee made good progress, but there
remains some S32s of the amount appor.
toned to this state to be collected.
The plan was to collect something for
the fund in each county: There was $1,000
apportioned to Idaho. The local commit
tee apportioned this among the various
counties. Eleven of the counties re-
sponded, but the others have not sent in
contributions. 1t is therefore desired
that persons interested in the matter in
each Of the counties not represented in
the list of contributions shall take the
matter in hand and secure a subscription
SO that all counties shall be represented
in the offering.
The II counties have raised much more
than was apportioned to them, and if
each Of the others send in little the full
amount will soon be secured. The money
may be sent to Miss Shoup, whose ad-
dress is Boise.

CANTATA OF QUEEN ESTHER
Local Talent Gave 4 Splendid Rendering Of the
Beautiful Story Last Nsht-A Delightful
Audience Crowded Opera House.

The cantata Of Queen Esther was given
at the opera house last night by local
singers under the direction Of NJ. f.
Robinson. 1t drew a crowded house and
no entertainment ever given in Lewiston
by amateur or professional talent was
ever more thoroughly appreciated. The
story of the beautiful Queen Ester is
charmingly told in the musical arrange
ment of the famous cantsta. Esther, by
her beauty and charm of character, won
the love Of King Ahasuerus, reigning
sovereign of the Indian Empire. Her
foster father was Mordecai, the Jew,
whom Haman. premier Of the empire,
seeks to destroy. because Mordecai re-
fused to bow down and do him obeisance.
Queen Ester makes intercession for Nor
decai, has him advanced, restores her
people to their rights and sees the proud
Haman overthrown. Around this plot
the story centers. The characters are
strongly drawn and as taken last night
In the cantata were admirably rendered.
Mrs. w. F Kettenbach. as Queen Esther;
w. P. Hurlbut. as King Ahasuerus; Mar
Gus Barnett, as Haman; Mrs.
Henry Miller, as Zeresh, Haman' S
wife; L. W. King, as Mordecai;
Clara Waldman. as Mordecai's sister
Cora Coburn as Prophecies and Arthur
Stacy as High Priest sustained the lead
ing parts and in voice and manner gave
a strong rendering Of the beautiful story.
The play is we'll staged and the costumes
beautiful and elaborate. Many of the
scenes are of dramatic interest and were
made very effective by the performers.
Esther's conference with the king and
Haman' g parting with his wife aud child
wer. especially attractive. Among the
minor details the scarf dance given by
Misses Claudia Pefey, Fay Yantes, Lolo
Timberlake, Claire Morris, Mae Pingree,
Ermeth McConville and Olive Neal was
very pleasing as was also the charming
duet rendered by the queens maidens,
Mabel, Neal, Marian Bussell, Georgia
Carter and Bertha Doris. The kings
and queens Pages and Zeresh's maids.
Misses Down and Lois Rowley. Dells
SHAFT. Olive Neal, Florence Harper and
Edna Schiebe, gave pleasing rendering
Of their respective parts, aud Elizabeth
Kettenbach as Haman's child, deserves
special mention for the artistic cOncen
ton of her part.
The chorus is strong and we'll trained
and the success Of the entertainment re
fects great credit upon the director, M
E. Robinson. His artistic arrangement
of the scenes of the story 10 among ths
best ever produced. Mrs L. M. KIM
acted as accompanist during the evening
and added materially to the success Of th,
programme. The performance will b
repeated this evening and seat sales indi
cate another crowded house.
