The address of DIR. DeNore did not
materlallxe, owing to the Doctor being
professionally engaged, and Rev. w l.
Douglas was late i'll arriving and there
fore the lodge was denied the pleasure
of hearing his promised address.
Bro q A Campbell of the Baptist
Church, of this city, delivered very
able and impressive address, which was
received with marked attention.
ID NJ Harris also delivered short
address.
The defamation by little Mable 10
senbaum, the five year old daughter of
MIR. and Mrs. j Il. Rosenbaum, was
received with demonstrations of great
pleasure, and Master Jensen, little son
of Mr.. and Mrs. j Jensen, of this city,
brought down the house by his rendl-
ton of Riding the goat.
After completing the arranged pro-
gram. a call was made for Wilson Do
ty ard his violin, and he responded in
a manner that delighted the audience,
then j II Jones was called and in his
lnimitab!e manneri in handling the bow
caused the heart of the young to leap
with 10y, and the old to think of long
ago Ii. w. Burbank was loudly calle
but being engaged in the banquet room
he did not respond. Every selection
of music, either vocal or instrumental
was encored and Kindly responded to.
To say the meeting was asuccess
does not fully express the subject. 1t
was fully demonstrated that Missouri
Valley has some very tine vocal and
instrumental musicians, and that we,
as citizens, are proud of them; lack of
space prevents us from personally ma
ming all those who participated i'm the
musical part of the program, or those
bration grand success.
Col Newton then gave very comic
dutch recitation and then announced
supper in waiting in the banquet hall
to which all were invited and repaired
70 the same. On reaching the hall we
were surprised to see the magnificent
spread, consisting of everything the
country affords to please the taste or
satisfy the inner man. Intact it was
just such supper as the Daughters of
Rebekah know so we'll how to prepair.
Some 200 persons we're served. After
supper Rev. Douglas introduced the
Morrill, Twins, who favored the audi
ence with several very fine vocal selec
| tionS.
Take it all in all, it was grand sue
cess, rejecting great credit upon all
the committees who arranged the pro-
CRANE for the meeting which gavesucf
general satisfaction to all, both mem
bers and visitors. ID M. III.
