ty or quantity Of the fun and amuse-

had numerous long runs.
The intrinsic value Of an enter

standard Of public appreciation and
the way In which the masses receive it.

In the North lo,ca Democrat in which
he compares the prices at which he
sells articles of merchandise with the

Prof. Thaler has a pupil at Waucoma
q sixteen year old boy named Rogers,
who composed waltz theme, which
he named the "Belles of Columbia, !"
Prof. Thaler arranged it for orchestra
and at the dance last Friday evening,
the orchestra played it for the
first time. That 1t is very good, is
shown BY the fact that request was
Immediately made for Its repetition.
The w. o. w. dance last Friday
evening in every way upheld the
previous reputation of this order for
giving some Of the most enjoyable
and popular balls in the city. The
floor was completely filled with a
merry throng Of dancers and nearly
every seat in the. gallery was occupied
with spectators, and not single
incident occurred to mar the enjoy
ment of anyone. The consensus Of
opinion is that the music by Mead's
orchestra was all that could be desired.
