MALE QUARTET TONIGHT.
Fine Entertainment ut the First Chris
tian Church This Evening.

The Royal Male quartet which
comes to the First Christian church
tonight is said to'be a fine aggrega-
ton of musicians and will be highly
appreciated by the music lovers of
the city.
1t has travelled extensively over the
central west and has met with hearty
receptions everywhere.
Speaking of 1t, South Dakota pa
per says:
Our expectations were far more
than realized in the Royal Male quar-
tet Not only were we more than
satisfied, but the audience was un-
usually enthusiastic in its reception OF
the program. We were especially de-
lighted that the repertoire contained
several sacred songs and that the
readings were not devoid of moral
tone. Several said 1t was the best
quartet they ever heard. and others
called 1t the best thing ever in town.
We should not be afraid to bill them
again next season with the same pro-
gram, and think standing room would
be in demand.

BOY CORNETIST TONIGHT.
Raymond Lehr, Youngest COrnet Vir-
tuOso in the Country, at Eagles
Hall This Evening.

Raymond Lehr, aged II, the young
est cornet virtuoso in the United States
will be seen and heard in the enter
tainment to be given by the Philhar-
monte Concert company at Eagles
hall tonight.
The Philharmonic Concert COM
pany takes great pride in presenting
a most remarkable prodigy in the per-
son of Raymond Lehr, n young cor
net virtuoso without an equal of his
age anywhere.
He is unquestionably the youngest
graduate of any acknowledged musi-
cal conservatory, having graduated at
the age of 12 from the famous Dana
Musical institute of Warren, o., with
the highest medal.
After leaving this school he took n
postgraduate course under Jules
Levy, the most famous cornetist of
his time, and he has, since, been most
prominent before the public eye,
noted for his technique and musical
conception, either of which are rarely
found in any one of his age, and par
ticularly on that instrument.

Weston. Oct. 26.-Reports are cur

Vancil sawmill is in difficulties and
has been closed under attachment.
Several of the men who have been
working al the mill, it is understood,
are minus their salaries, and Dave
Read, who was employed there was
arrested the first of the week for TAX
ing strenuous means to get his pay.
Read had been employed by William
Nancil and he came to Weston with a
load Of lumber which he sold for s27
to Allen Garrett and pocketed the
money. The understanding was to
invest the proceeds for provisions for
the mill. The outcome of the case is
not yet known, but Read considers
the transaction a fair one.
The mill is situated on Basket
mountain at the head of Couse creek,
and was established by William Van
Gil some months ago. 1t has a ca
pacity of 10000 feet of lumber daily.
