The Minst1els.

The performance given by the Young
ladies, last Thursday evening was a
huge success in every way. 1t put into
the Library Fund treasury $3.50, and
the large audience enjoyed every mo-
nent of the two hours entertainment.
When we say the performance was far
bevonSexpections we are not throwing
any undeserved bouquets. The cur
tain rose, and the opening number was
tamborine drill by school girls IN uni
| form. Their movements were grace
full and in rbymthic measure to the
piano music performed by Miss Ida
| Bradham. This number occupied about
thirty minutes, land there was not a
single false step or discord.
The next number was an Indian
Club Drill, by a company of students,
two being young men. The company
was directed By Professor Daniel. 1t
was indeed an excellent exhibition OF
calisthenics. Every. movement was
made with precision. .sand grace, and
some of the narchineXheels, were as
perfect as the best disciplined soldiers.
These TWO opening numbers were re-
ceived with applause, and high com
Imendation. and it was iRerited.
| When the curtain rose again. instead
of a pretty bevv OF girls beautifully
uniformed. there was upon the stage
in a semi-circle,a a flock, drove. or bunch
of. the blackesr. clumsiest and ugllest
coons that ever donned a bandanna
"kerchief'' or calico frOck: the blush
upon their chi4nney-back faces, would
| have darkened the" heavens. and put
the chickens to roost at midday: Iney
were black. but their color had no de-
terent effect upoa the songs: sllits and
labs. They kept the audience in rip:
roar from beginning TO the END, and
when the curtain-@en down, the audi
ence was ,oatSsa to leave.
The ''csacks" made upon almost
everybody in town were enjoyed heartl-
|lv and most OF them were real good,
much better than the average cracks
jnade bv Visiting minstrels: very few Of
1-tlie voun g[en escaped the humorous
darts ofthese funmakers, and too. there
was a studied effort to reach the vlsl-
bilities of TIE audience, and it succeed.
ed: especially did the lDlnstrels set the
audience to roaring when a telegram,
addressed, to the company was opened
and read as follows.

PERFECTED AIRsHIPs.
Sir Hiram Maxim Says We Shall Have
Them Speedily.

London.-The question of a per.
fected navigable flying machine is now
regarded by experts here as one Of the
probabilities of the immediate future
and every inducement is being held out
to inventors to produce reliable ma
chine. A correspondent has inter
viewed some Of the leading authorities
: N England and on all hands he was
practically told. 'If 1t be not now, 1t will
come soon."
Sir Hiram Maxim said: I'VE shall
not have any balloons in the future: we
shall have flying machines. The flying
machine is heavier than air, just as the
birds are. There are no balloons in ma.
tcre.
$50 have no hesitation whatever In
saving that before many more years
pass we rhall do away completely with
the balloon. II we are ever to fly, II
must be with a machine heavier than
cir. Many men are busily engaged in
trying to invent a machine which, like
a bird, will stay in the air as long
as they wish and go wherever they de
sire to guide it.
"The solution is coming, whetever
people may think, and really believe
myself that within a year from now
there will be great number Of ma
chimes In the air. This is certain tc

More pot..oe. Than Cars.

Greeley. Colo.-In other years lack
Of transportation has hampered the
moving Of the potato crop, but never
before has there been such a lack OF
cars for shipping potatoes as now
During the last four weeks this distric,
has lost $4,000 by the failure of the
railroad company to provide cars tc
carry the crop. 400 carloads of which
could have been easily sold.
In view of the situation, Texas ana
Kansas, where the demand for Greeley
potatoes is always great, customers
have stocked up with potaties from
Minnesota and Wisconsin, which will
considerably weaken the market this
winter for the Colorado crop. Over one
one-third of the potato crop has alread,
been moved, and II transportation facil
tiles had been anywhere near adequate
nearly third more OF the crop woult
ke sold by December 1st.
AS It is. from five to ten carloads
only are daily leaving for the market
and dealers are cancelling all order:
because Of inability to secure cars ana
are threatening to combine and sue th,
railroad company for damages.

Sugar see.s in Danger.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Fort Collins on the goth inst. says
The snow storm which set in Friday
evening caused another delay in beet
harvesting. which may result In heavy
losses. 1t is estimated that there are
10000 tons Of beets In the ground in
this factory district, and should the
weather turn cold and hold so for any
great length of time the possibility oi
gathering them in condition for fac
tory sse would be remote, thus involv.
ing loss Of 100000. The beets are
not injured yet. and IL the snow goes
on right away and the weather moder
ates so that digging can be resumed, II
is probable that the greater portion OF
the crop may be saved. The situation
is grave for those still having beets in
the ground.
