The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1903-04-30


The TIMES omitted to chronicle
the death of Ole Guinness last week,
which occurred the forepart of the
week. Mr.. Guinness was an old
resident of the city, and had a large
number of friends. He has been in
poor health for years, and his death
was not much of a surprise.
A. B. Severson, of Mason, for
two or three years chairman of the
place, was in the city last Saturday,
looking after some matters of bust
ness. Mr.. Severson has served his
people time and again, in a public
capacity, and is now taking well
deserved rest from official labors.
| It has been ascertained by re-
cent survey made of the property
that the Bank of Washburn build
ing projects about foot upon the
joining property on the inside lot
and it is more than likely that the
town may have to settle with the
vner of the lot which upon the build
| ilg has rested it's foundation for so
many years
There were exciting times last
Thursday evening for short time.
A few minutes past seven o'clock a
| fire alarm was turned in from the
first fire district, and the fire was
located in a small building on Bay
field street near the old town hall.
The Company had hardly left the
premises before another alarm was
given, and then came the third
alarm. Burning out of chimneys
caused all the excitement and con-
fusions
Travelling in their own $50. 200
palace car, carrying the latest crea-
ton of the famous scenic artists,
Sosman and Lands of Chicago in
the way of scenery, enhancing cos
tunes to aid the effort of 80 Of the
foremost colored Stars. Mahara
Brothers ought to be able to furnish
two and a half hours of music, mirth
and melody, odds and ends and
oddities that would be acceptable to
the gloomiest Individual living.
Mahara MINISTRIES will appear in the
opera house here Monday night Civ
| ing that street parade at noon.
The new town board have an
nounced that they will carry out the
instructions of the people at the
town meeting, and will prevent the
running at large of cattle after to-
day, upon the streets of Washburn.
After the new order Of things has
been in operation for sixty days
there will be no one who would want
to change back to the old order of
letting cattle run loose upon the
street. 1t is quite probable that the
board will endeavor to try and ar
range in giving some assistance in
herding cows, believing that money
can be better expended in this way
than in maintaining a pound
The idea is all right. The board is
to be congratulated upon their
stand in this matter, and it is hoped
that there will be no weakening on
their part while the new order is be-
| ing put into execution.
The famous Mahara min trels an
nounced for Monday night, May 4tE.
| is a superb combination of the best
and most popular features OF opera,
travesty and vaudeville with the
largest and best colored chorus
in America. The performance
abounds in catchy music, snappy
specialties, beautiful costumes,
funny comedians, novel dances,
special scenery, striking electrical
effects, pretty octoroons, pictur-
esque ensembles and all the
latest song hits of the east. The en-
tire performance is presen ted by a
metropolitan organization of fore
most colored singers, comedians and
speciality artists of their race in
America. More bright music, en-
PERTAINING vaudeville numbers and
hearty daughters is offered in the two
and half hours of Maharss min
strels than would supply half a doz-
en- of the average musical farce
comedies. Mahara's famous chal-
lenge band and orchestra will give
street parade at noon. Concert in
the evening in front OF the Opera
House.
