Miss Muller gave concert in the
church at Kimballton Thursday
evening which was poorly attended
on account of the rain that evening.
Miss Muller is more than a singer
of note-she's famous. She is d.
rector of the Royal conservatory of
music at Copenhagen. She sang at
the Harlan Chautauqua Scandinavian
Day and at Omaha the following
Sunday. Those who failed to hear
her certainly missed rare treat.
Tuesday eve was another Jolly
night for the people of Kimballton.
The occasion was Martin Esbeck's
birthday and he commemorated the
event with an ice cream social at his
home. Everyone able to be out was
there for the fact that it was to be
at Martins was evidence enough of
the good time in store for them. Due
to the royal entertainment given
them they did not disband until a
late, hour and yet they could
have staid longer with pleasure.

night the participants hated to tear
away. We all join in wishing Ras-
mus many, many returns of the hap
py event.
