iOuS Entertainment.

"The minstrel" entertainment at
the opera house last Thursday
evening, under the auspices of the
Mountain Home Cornet Band, was
a complete success, financially
and otherwise. The program,
which was under the supervision
of Messrs. F, J. Moore and Byron
McWilliams, had been conscien'
tiously rehearsed and was well re-
ceived by the audience. The end
men in the minstrel first part FL.
Moore and U. A. Couvrette, bones;
Byron McWilliams and L. [. Herr,

local hits.
The entire program was good,
and we'll rendered, 80 that indi-
vidual description is unnecessary.
One feature, however, deserves spe-
cial mention-the part assumed
80 perfectly by little Nell Smith
son, 10 years old. She was made
up as little darkey boy, maintain
ing the role with an easy, rythmi-
cal grace which astonished and de.
lighted the audience. The music
and theme take complete possession
of her, the little girls body moving
in perfect unison with the note
variations, forgetting self entirely
and being guided only by the waves
of sound from the orchestra. She
was encored repeatedly, the audi
ence being 10th TO let her 60.

AN EDITORS APPEAL
To Brother Publishers In Behalf of
the Lost Child OF Dr.. Byers.

If the editor of every paper in
the central west will republish
these lines there will be no question
but what DR.. s. L. Byers OF Steeley-
vile, Ind, will recover his little
son who was stolen from his home,
one year ago last May. DR.. Byers
has spent his entire resources in
search for his child and unless the
big hearted members of the press
come to his assistance his son will
grow up an outlaw and an outcast
among the lowest people of the
earth. 1t is a cause that should
appeal to everyone and no father
reading these lines can do 80 with
out quickening of the heart and
sympathetic throb. 1t is believed
that if this article is reprinted in
newspapers it will form an endless
chain that will uncover the lost
boys concealment and return him
to his distracted parents. In do.
ing this the profession of journal
ism will be fulfilling one OF its high.
est destinies.
Publishers whose circulations
touch the Wabash, Ohio and Mis-.
sissippi valleys are especially re.
quested to reproduce this story of
the lost child, as DR.. Byers believes
his boy TO be on some houseboat
waiting to take the road in the
spring. There is reward Of $500
awaiting any information that will
lead to the boys recovery, No
questions will be asked and il the
abductor himself would deliver the
boy to his parents he would not be
molested. The bereaved parents
are heart broken with grief and
want only their child. If each
journal will reprint these linee,
they will go to every exchange table
in the United States and bring
back TO a wretched home a child
who is now no doubt suffering with
cold, unfed and wretched TO a de.
gree. Think of what your own
feelings would be under similar
circumstances This appeal is in
dicted originally by a publisher
who saw DR.. Byers only once, has
no personal interest in his quest
other than the bond of sympathy
that makes the world akin, and is
inspired from the belief that the
lost boy can only be found through
the united effort of the country
press of which he is proud to be
member. His recovery will be
triumph in advertising and no edi.
tor whose heart is placed right will
: refuse this appeal. Remember, it
may be your child nextl
The following is description OF
the lost boy:

No one should become offended
when he is presented with a bill says
Ralph Tennall. To take offense un-
der the circumstances is very silly.
II is form Of vanity and conceit
and you cannot make much else out
OF il. A man who owes ought 10 be
interested in getting a statement Of
his account; the fact that man is
perfectly good should not make
him immune from having bills sent
TO him. A man who is perfectly
good" is under obligation to some
one beside himself; his method of
paying when he pleases may not be
the method Of the man he deals with
and the latter's methods are entitled
TO as much consideration if not more,
than those of the man who is per
fectly good"

and two bases on balls with some

that the Georgetown people treated
the visitors with the highest courtesy

BASE BALL.
Opening Of the Season In Beres
Faculty VS.. Normal.

The base ball season began quite
auspiciously on Saturday last with a
great game between the Faculty and
the Normal Students. Although no
effort had been made 10 advertise the
game, yet nearly everybody seemed
10 be there, and cheerfully paid the
admission fee Of five cents in order
10 see their favorites win or lose, as
the case might be, About 81 was
taken in at the gate.
The sympathy of the spectators
seemed TO be about equally divided,
with possibly preponderance in ia
yor Of the Normal boys.
Though the game started cut with
the Faculty in the lead by score OF
8 to 0 at the end Of the first inning,
yet they failed 10 keep the lead, and
the Normal boys not only succeeded
in passing them, but steadily forged
ahead until the end Of the game,
when they had % to Is for the Fac.
ulty.
George q. Dick occupied the box
for the Faculty, while Kirk did the
twirling for the Normals. Both did
effective work and IL there had been
no change in pitchers the score would
not likely have been 40 large. Dick
was relieved by Scale for two innings
and Arnold took Kinks place in the
box for the last three innings.
The line up was as follows:
