KILTIES BAND.

Lovers of music will recall the Kill ties band, which gave two fine band concerts here last season, and they will be glad to learn that the band is again to appear at Polls on Friday, giving concerts both afternoon and evening. Few band concerts have such q charm as those given by this crack organization, not alone for its splendid musical quality. but likewise because of the unique variety of Scot, ish dancing and broadsword exercises that is interpolated in the program. Naturally, the concerts are always of extreme popularity on that account and always attract very large audi ences. Seats go on sale Thursday.

Especially is this so of the leading act, the come Gdietta "A Thief of the Night present. ed by Sidney Wilmer and his company Rof five clever players. It is in this act that Miss Mildred Lawrence appears. the magnetic little comedienne who made so many admirers in Waterbury

 The above, heralded as a laugh pro- &ucer was introduced to very small
 audience at Poli'S theater last evening Rnd seemed to give satisfaction at times It has also been heralded as "colossal conception of convivial comedy" Pretty strong language for a farce constituted and enacted as this was. The company presenting 1t is headed by well known minstrel per former, Arthur Deming, and to be candid he was the life of the whole Ashow. The farce is altogether too Pshort and there are splendid oppor- tanities for introducing other elements which will lengthen as well as strengthen it. All the three acts are laid in hotel in Atlantic City, N. J., There is not much plot and perhaps you would not rightly call it a plot. The story simply tells you of cards and rooms that have been mixed up by the hotel porter and proprietor and a general mixture of husbands, wives and sweethearts that followed. There were some good features and some very poor ones The running too and fro across the stage by all the mem bers of the company in one scene or the farce was silly and not bit fun ny. Possibly it was done to make the performance last little longer, but such features are not to be found in cleverly written farceS or comedies. There were some good SpecialtieS ana the people of the cast got what they could out of the lines and business as- signed to them. The management promise some Improvements for this evening, when it will be given it's last presentation in this city.

"w1NTER QUARTERS"

The above name was given to the
village which was formerly located
on the present site of Florence, in
Douglas county, Nebraska. The &C
companying extracts, bearing upon
the rise and fall of "Winter Quar-
ters," are taken from all old book
published by the "Latter Day Saints
and placed in our hands by Mr.. H.
H. Harder, of st. George, Utah.
Readers of the Conservative will re-
member descriptive notes from this
book published in our issue of March
g. The author says:
"'Winter Quarters. This name
was given to the place by the Latter
Day Saints who wintered there in
1867, in their progress from Illinois
to the West. At that time it formed
part of the lands belonging to the
Omaha Indians, an insignificant tribe
of the Grand Prairie, who then did
not number more than 800 families.
Upwards of 1000 houses were soon
built-7OO of them in about three
months, upon pretty plateau over
looking the river, and neatly laid out
with highways and byways, and forti-
fed with breastwork and stockade.
It had too it's place of worship,
Tabernacle of the Congregation, and
various large workshops, mills and
factories provided with water power. >
At this time the powerful Sioux were
at war with the Omahas, and it is
said that the latter hailed with joy
the temporary settlement of the
journeying saints among them. At
any rate the encampment served as
sort of breakwater between them
and the destroying rush of their
powerful and devastating foes. The
saints likewise harvested and stored
away for them their crops Of maize, ,
and with all their own poverty fire.
quently spared them food. and kept
them from absolutely starving. AL

ways capricious, and in this case in
stigated by white men, the Indians.
notwithstanding they had formally
given the Saints permission to settle
upon their lands, complained to the
Indian Agents that they were tres
passing upon them, and they were
requested to remove. From this cir
cumstance is attributable the rise and
rapid growth of Kanesville, leaving
Winter Quarters again entirely to its
savage inhabitants, and only it's ruins
to point out its former prosperity, and
now it's situation.
'In the annals of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
this halting place in the wilderness
must always fill an important and in
teresting page. 1t was from this spot
that the Pioneers took their depart
ure on the 14th of April, 1S47, in
search Of a location west of the Rocky
Mountains, upon which the exiled
Saints might re-assemble themselves,
far from the haunts of prosecuting
Christendom, and where the foot
prints of white man had scarcely
ever before been seen. While tarry-
ing here the first General Epistle Of
the Council of the Twelve Apostles,
written after the expulsion from Nau
VOC, and dated December %, 1847, was
addressed to the Saints of all the
world and lastly the reorganization
of the principal authorities of the
Church was effected on the 9th of
April, 1848, at the Log Tabernacle in
Iowa-Brigham Young being acknowl-
edged President of the Church, and
Heber G. Kimball and Willard Rich
ards, his counsellors. The Presidency
left Winter Quarters for Great Salt
Lake Valley in the following May,
many of the Saints having previously
left for that place, and others having
re-crossed the river into Iowa. Since
the organization of Nebraska Terri
tory, an effort has been made, owing
to the desirable situation of Winter
Quarters, and it's good ferriage and
water facilities, to build city by the
name of Florence upon the old site. I"

LACK OF HARMONY.

spoke in Detroit recently upon
"The relation of life and literature in
the nineteenth century, DR.. Van
Dyke confined himself, in his lecture,
to the literature produced by the Eng
disappearing people, British and Ameri-
can.
He said that there should be unity
between them, that Americans should
claim Chaucer, Milton and Shakespeare,
that Emerson, Longfellow and Lowell
were merely transplanted, and that
Kipling did his best work in America.
He thinks that what English literature
lacks is harmony between the two Eng
lish nations, and that they should work
hand in hand for the progress Of the
human family. Here are few of his
sayings in epigram:
'Literature takes its local coloring
from the place where it is produced, but
its great spirit is universal.
"Any one who cuts himself off from
Shakespeare as an inspiration, cuts
himself off from all literature.
Literature is that art that stands
closest to the people, and has the most
direct influence upon life.
IA man cannot study books by the
laboratory method; books that are
written solely for arts sake, are not
books at all.
"Read books that have a living mes
sage; that express life and reveal it;
that cheer and console and encourage.
''There is something wrong about the
young man or woman who cannot enjoy
the works Of Walter Scott"
DR.. Van Dyke dwelt upon three
schools of writers, the romancer, the
realist and the idealist, and said that
every good book contains all three ele-
ments. He classed Sir Walter Scott as
the first real writer of historical ro-
nance, and called Thackeray and Dick
ems twin stars of English literature.
Criticise Too Severely.
DR.. Van Dyke thinks that Cooper has
fallen too much into disrepute, and that
many small-souled critics pick him to
pieces, when they could not write a
story as good as "The Spy" or "The
Last of the Mohicans" to save their
lives. Hawthorne, he calls. "that
strange, mystic genius" and Carlyle, a
writer who descended upon society with
many mutterings and lightning flashes,
but who preached the gospel of "Do
your duty and do it today" and that
John Ruskin's creed was "Buy nothing
that has been produced by the shame or
degradation of any human being; moth
ing that is not useful, or that you dc
not believe to be beautiful" He said
that the works of such men as Herbert
Spencer and Darwin did not have the
same demand as novels, but that they
