Band Minstrel A iIrnnd Success

1t was warm bunch of coons that
the Pastime Quartet introduced, by a
good plantation song, to fairly good
and thoroughly apreciative audience in
the opera house Friday night.
The band boys labored under adverse
circumstances, as their tuba player and
end man, Marsh Isenberg, was i'll with
pneumonia and unable to play. Just
the same, their performance was sue
cess, and their next appearance should
draw a crowded house. With one or two
exceptions their jokes we're new. and
the two whskered items which crept
in were so excellenly rendered that
their age was lost sight of. The hit by
the Pastime Quartet was made in re-
sponse to an encore when they rendered
comic song in which Mr.. Dunbar de-
clared that his vocation in life was
wheeling out grunts to the pigs in a
pig-iron foundry.
There was not muff in the entire
aggregation and good hits were the rule.
Orville Lakin was the coon of coons in
his makeup and doesn't seem to know
it. With little training in facial ex-
preston and posing he could paralyze an
audience without uttering word. The
song and dance man, whose disguise was
too good for the Glacier man to pene-
trate, was a peach. He was called back
and did his stunt with the air and ease
of "perfesh.". The debating society
was a good number, and "nigger" like,
the chairman ignored the judges, him
self rendered the decision to heated de-
bate and precipitated alively row. The
curtain came down with the chairman
yielding a razor about foot long and
chasing the debaters. The bad Indian
was another good one; but ii the boys
will pardon little criticism, to an old
'49er it seemed rather strange to see the
noble red man shed his blanket and do
the scalp act with great big frazer"
at the same time omit giving the old
time scalp halloo; however, these inno-
vations on the old regime may be the
result of the refining influence of mod
ern civilization. Another bit of Criti-
cism could be made in reference to the
long waits between scenes. Ii these
could be shortened or eliminated alto
gether it would add much to the enter
tainment
The music by the band was most ex-
cellent considering the experience Of
the organization and the old, battered,
wOrnout instruments used, some OF
which evidently came across the plains
in the early sos. We are proud of our
band boys, and want them to get their
new instruments and uniforms and 9TH
er property pertinent to first class min.
strel company as soon as possible, and
give us another entertainment soon.
There is some of the very best of ma
terial in their personnel, and with their
able leader, Chris Nickelsen, there is no
reason apparent why they cannot give
as good entertainments as any minstrel
company on the road. They can be
sure of full house next time. The
net receipts were $500

Saturday evening at the residence Of

asked to retire to another room and each
write a description of the dress and ap-

each wrote a record of the conversation.

Odd Fellows to Erect TwO.Story Brick

The wooden structure between the
Paris Fair and Bartmess' furniture
store, occupied last summer by o. B.
Hartley's grocery, was torn down Mon
day, and stone masons are laying the
foundation for two-story brick, which
is being built by Idlewilde lodge of the
|. o. o. F. 1t is intended to complete
the work by May Is, when the Paris
Fair will occupy the ground floor as an
annex to their present oyer-crowded
store room. When the funds permit it,
the Odd Fellows expect to extend the
brick to the corner, giving them a 80
foot frontage, and l00-foot depth. Be-
cause hard pan is so near the surface on
this block, it is considered impractical
to attempt an excavation for basement.
The building is estimated to cost
$500. Work is being done by the day
under the supervision of three lodge
members - Andy Gatchell, William
CANCER aud Lou Morse. The crowding
of somany goods in the Paris Fair store
works a great inconvenience on these
merchants, and they are anxiously
awaiting the day when they can occupy
a brick store.
