An UnweIcome Visitor.

Over on Eighth street there is a
very unhappy family, all on account of
an invited visitor which has taken
possession of the cellar. The new &C.
cupant of the cellar is not very large
but at times is powerful beyond ex-
preston, therefore violent means are
not thought of for his exclusion from
the premises he has preempted. The
intruder is at present monarch Of all
he surveys, and, as the occupants Of
the house desire to live there con-
tinuously, they are lying awake nights
deyising some scheme whereby the
guest may be made to yacate with
out arousing his ire, and anybody who
can suggest a way Of getting rid of
that skunk will confer a favor on the
aforesaid Eighth street resident.

ing awake nights.

FIRST ATTRACTION
OF The BISMARCK
LECTURE COURSE

With some difficult and financial
risk, the Lecture Course association
has been able to arrange for a salts
factory opening number. Plenty Of
desirable talent was available, but It
was deemed absolutely essential that
the first number appeal to every taste.
Some people want light entertainment
while others lock for arItstic merit,
and many demand something of in.
tellectual value, generally lecture
presented with originality; everybody
declares for the celebrity who comes
with burning message on some live
issue.
The course offered this winter will
meet these various demands at one
time or another, but the kellogg
Haines Singing Party will probably
please more diversified tastes than any
talent coming to the Capitol City this
| season. The party is composed of
| five, musicians. 1t is an all-star com
| pany. -Four fuN seasons OF continued
success attest wide spread approval
The concert to be given here marks
the first engagement Of Pacific
coast tour of forty-eight concerts
The musicians come here direct from
Chicago, and their next engagement
is at Livingston, Mont. Following this
tour, they have been contracted fol
another one in the south and east fol
one hundred concerts. Many of these
\ engagements are return dates.
/ This record of past success and thu
4 full season ahead are sufficient guar
antee that no. mistake has been mad
| in selecting the Kellog-Haines Singini
4 Party as the curtain raiser for thi
4 years course. Thsy appear at tn
