WOODMEN AT PLAY.
Foresters and Their Ladies' Enjoy a
Pleasing Entertainment.
,.;J Doily

FROM Fr1oayS S Daily.
Modern Woodmen and Royal Neigh
bors and their families and friends made
the l. O. o. f. hall merry place last
evening About three hundred were
there, all that the place could comfort
ably accommodate, and more than could
be seated in the main assembly room
The doors between this compartment
and the dining room were therefore
thrown open, and a good number of
chairs placed here in such position
that the occupants could take in the
entertainment almost as well as if they
were in the main hall itself.
The program was one of various mu-
steal and literary features, and was in
deed splendid one. Applause was
hearty and encores were frequent. The
entertainment was opened with a pi-
ano duet By Misses Alma and Martha
Wachtler. This was followed by an
other instrumental duet, by Joseph
Erd with the mandolin and Joseph
Schmidt with the guitar. Their selec-
tion was highly entertaining one,
'Blaze Away March, Miss Cora Van
Tassel transported the minds of her
hearers to the realms of the hereafter
with a recital entitled, Theology in the
Quarters" This was promptly encored
and she responded with write Them a
Letter Tonight" a production of less
humor but more pathos. Miss Mamie
Skuse gave a piano solo and was also
obliged to respond to an encore. The
same result followed the vocal solo by
Miss Pearl Thackery. Next came an en-
tertaining recital by Miss Irene Olm,-
stead, and then xylophone duet by
William Erd and Joseph Schmidt, a
species of music not often heard and all
sylvia Kuebler rendered vocal solo
and received a call for another, which
proved as delightful as the first. Mas
ter George Scherer gave fine violin
solo, and then Miss Ethel Skuse pleased
the audience exceedingly singing to the
accompaniment at the piano by Miss
Mamie Skuse The sweet familiar
strains of "Massas in de Cold, Cold
Ground were brought out by William
Erd with the musical glasses, accom-
panied with guitar by Joseph Schmidt.
Miss Minnie Ables entertained the as
semblage with piano solo, and then
Messrs. Erd and Smith closed the pro-
gram with a rendition of Swiss bell
ringing
Ice cream and waters were now serv
ed, partly at the long tables in the din
inc room. but also at the card tables,
which soon made their appearance in
the large hall After the repast, the
merrymakers turned to card playing
and soon began the dancing. Messrs
Schmidt and Erd again made themselves
exceedingly useful furnishing excellent
music for the dancers with the mando
lin and guitar.

TO notify all persons who have
heretofore entered, or who may
hereafter enter, any of the lands
which have been segregated un-
der the provisions of the reclama-
ton act of June II. 1902, that
the leasing of such lands or por-

who have been and are conduct

such leasing either by themselves

Gent cause for the cancellation

The officers of the land Offices
are further directed to give the

fact that such use of any lands
withdrawn under this act, wheth-
er such lands have been entered
or are unOccupied, will be pre-
vented by proper actions in eject
lnent, by injunction or other
wise.
These instructions have been
called forth by the deplorable
conditions existing in Nevada,

plOys several Thousand men.
Homesteaders have leased a
portion of their lands to persons
engaged in the liquor business,
and murder and robbery have
been rampant in consequence.

LlNCOLN's BONDS
Bill to Sell Refunded Bonds Vetoed
BY the Governor.

The Governor did in excellent
piece of work when he put his
vetoe on the scheme to refund
the Lincoln county bonds and
sell them at almost any old price
to the Salt Lake and San Pedro
railroad.
The first bill was worked
through by II smooth Salt Lake
lawyer and it allowed the County
Commissioners to sell the refund
ed bonds at any price they
pleased. This bill enabled them
To secure the bonds at ten cents
on the dollar if they got the
Eoard their way, and then sell
them to the railroad. The APP
peal considers that there was a
rake-o off for somebody that
would take six figures to OK
press.
He vetoed the bill aud the same
people came in with another
scheme almost as bad.
1t was all being done quietly
and as soon as the Lincoln county
people got next, they sent in tel
egrams to the Governor asking
him to vetoe the measure. He
did so and suggested that the
matter be submitted to the peo-
pie at the next election.
This is the only proper way.
But for the Governors keen
scent for this smooth piece of
jobbery the people of Lincoln
county would have been done up
to a rich brown without knowing
what was in the wind.
The Lincoln County Record
did good work in exposing the
job.
Next election it will be submit
ted to the people. Carson APP
