The Orpheus Company.

At the Silvernail opera house, last Saturday evening, the above named company entertained large and thoroughly appreciative au- dience. The affair was conducted under the auspices of the local K. of P. lodge, which is to be congrat- ulated upon it's successful efforts to procure performance of such high class as that rendered.
 The company comprised but three artists: Miss Miriam Esk- ridge, reader; Miss Edith N. Klock, soprano, and Miss Margaret Davis, pianist; but the individual efforts of each were of such high class, and similar performances here so rare, that lack of numbers was more than made up for by their renditions. Miss Davis efforts at the piano showed the touch of master hand, while Miss Eskridge, in k-1}iversi- fled readings, carried the audience with her as her moods changed in her different selections. Miss Klock, the soprano, possesses a rich, clear voice, and her enunciation was per feot, By special request she sang "The Holy City," which song gave ample opportunity for display of her powers.
 The NEWS again congra..alates the order, and hopes other similar attractions may be billed in the near future,

 At that time the outlook was not at all assuring. At 8 o'clock next morning a telegram was delivered to us from the Republican asking for further information.
