Victor and His Band.

The Henderson Lyceum Associa-
ton made a good beginning in the
attractions offered for the season OF
19O7-O6. Victor's Royal Venetian
Band fully met the high expection
that had been set for them in the
grand concert given on Wednesday
evening of last week. They were
greeted by large and cultivated
audience, and that it was an appre-
ciatire one the generous applause
and genuine pleasure with which each
number was received, attested more
eloquently than mere words can ex-
press.
The program was we'll arranged
one and each number was encored.
1t was an evening OF rare pleasure to
music lovers. The band was ably
assisted by Miss Madeline Lourie,
soprano, who captivated the audience
by her sweet singing. Miss Lourie
possesses voice OF rare quality
noted for its richness and power of
expression, rather than great range
OF compass, with a pleasing stage
presence that easily makes her ia
vorite. She had to respond to sew
eral, encores being recalled as many
as three times before the audience
was considerate enough to desist.
Following was the program not in

dered in response to encores after
each number:

SPARKLING STARTS THE GUNS. Funniest Comedy of Errors In Court
 ship Almost Serious.

Williamsport, Pa, Agust 17.-A con- edy of errors came near ending in a tragedy at Montoursville last night. Constables Rogers and Shirm at mid night were spooking around the houses in search of a rampish-looking stranger, who they believed was burglar
 Edward Wadsworth of Galeton, school teacher, who had come to town during the day. was spending the even ing with his sweetheart. They saw the constables sneaking around, and thought they were burglars.
 Wadsworth said he would watch them. He followed. The constables saw him skipping from out of one dark corner into another. They thought he was the tramp they were looking for and gave chase.
 Wadsworth took to his heels. Con stable Rogers fired three shorts, and Wadsworth threw up his arms, expect ing the "highwaymen" to go through his pockets. Instead the two constables grabbed him, tore his coat and were hustling him to the lookup when his young lady friend, in a condition bor- dering hysteria. appeared on the scene and explained the situation.

What a Difference!

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 MT. Rockefeller overpaid his taxes re- gently by s156.67, and that sum was re- turned to him by the honest and trust worthy tax receiver That honorable offl- cial is no respecter of persons, and he con currently returned the sum of cents to q poor woman who had overpaid him by that amount. These acts are much to be commended, only the thought will be sug gested that the aggregate of human hap piness might have been increased if the reimbursement could have been turned the other way. MT. Rockefeller would have experienced all possible pleasure in the receipt of his cents. and think what joy might have been carried to the heart of the poor woman by the tax receiver check for sl5667.

He was opposed by Lively. who lasted until the seventh inning He was taken out in the seventh. when none were out, and aftr fly had scored.

May did the work in the box for the locals and the seven hits he yield ed cost three runs. Grafhus made a home run in the third after Holland and Murch had singled.

 Though this paper was issued so short a time before the Revolution, there is nothing indicating unrest in the colonies further than a statement in foreign dis patch to the effect that all military com panies for foreign service are to be fully recruited from Ireland.
 There is a long advertisement from George Washington, offering for sale OOo0 acres of land In the Ohio and Great Kan hawa river valleys.
 A few offers of reward for runaway slaves are inserted, with a description of the black Fellows.'
 There is a wonderful snake story of a rattler with ten rattles and an estimated age of "thrtee" years. which when killed was found to contain "ln hls belly five middle slzezd rabbits" There is also a story of a youngster playing with pistol which unfortunate ly happened to be loaded.

 Stunt In Surf.

Virginia Beach, Va, August 17.-The prowess of Fletcher Davis, an athletic young man from Oklahoma City, is a subject of much wonderment among summer resorters here.
 Davis was enjoying a swim when he saw a good-sized shark coming through the breakers some distance beyond the ropes. Instead of fleeing. Davis chased the shark, rounded him up and drove him within the ropes, causing panic among the bathers.
 The swimmer then caught the shark by the tail and dragged him to the shore. The shark was found to weigh more than one hundred pounds.
