cept Them For Pay.

Des Moines. July 11.-Mr. Reese ana
Edwin Perry, Of Oskaloosa, met here
yesterday to settle a grievance OF a

ing in checks which are redeemabie
at their face value. but he also held
that the, men could not be compelled
to accept, them as payment for their
wages.

Dixie Jubilee Singers

The second number OF the Star Y. NJ.
@. A. Course will be the concert at the
First Presbyterian church to-morro
night by the Dixie Jubilee Singers.
This is one of the very best organiza-
tions Of it's kind in the country and
should attract an audience limited
only by the seating capacity of the
church. For several seasons the
Dixie Male Quartette has stood at the
head Of the list of colored male quar-
tettes in the United States, and, with
out doubt, it represents the highest
type OF the college-bred, cultured
negro vocalist. Wherever they have
given an entertainment they have re-
ceived the highest encominums OF
praise from their patrons, and we are
convinced that genuine musical treat
is in store for those Canon City people
that attend their concert Tomorrow
night. II you enjoy the melody of the
singing you should not neglect to pur-
chase ticket for tomorrow nights
entertainment, as the Dixies are the
leading colored concert company Of the
country. The program will consist Of
a fine repertoire OF music. rich in har-
mony and varied lin selection. 1t will
be replete with jubilees. old and new
plantation songs, negro melodies, camp
meeting songs, comic darkey songs,
negro lullabys, home, cabin and river
songs OF the old slavery days. etc.

that they number so many. As many
more would be published. but in the
meantime ask the first person you
meet what cures backache? The an
swer will be Doan's Kidney Pills.

tory.
