MINSTREL SHOW FOR PATIENTS
Band Minstres Give Insane Hospital
Inmates Pleasant Evening.

GFrom Tuesdays Dailyl
Patients at the Norfolk hospital last
evening enjoyed break in the course
of their hospital life, a score of young
men from Norfolk repeating the Nor
folk band minstrels for the benefit of
the patients. The greater part of the
minstrel proper, given at the Norfolk
Auditorium on April %, was rendered
again last evening in the chapel at the
state hospital.
More than 100 patients were in the
chapel. A few visitors from Norfolk
and members of the hospital staff were
present, but the performance, ar
ranged and carried out by the min
strel boys themselves, was intended
primarily for the patients, who gave
every indication of enjoying the
show"
The minstrel cast and the songs of
the evening were along the same lines
as the Auditorium production. Sam
Erskine acted as interlocutor again
last evening and Will Hall, James Pet
ers, Lorin Brueggeman and Ben Hull
were again the black face end men.
The hospital management expressed
their appreciation of the course of
the minstrel boys in giving their pro-
duction for the patients. The num-
bers last evening were greeted with
applause and encores.

NOT TO EXTEND FROM DALLAS
Herrick Press Finds Little Evidence
of Any Survey.


Newspapers in the Rosebud coun-
try are just at present teeming with
a report reprinted back and forth, to
the effect that the Northwestern Is to
extend to Phillips, on the Pierre-Rapid
City branch of the Northwestern. i'm
mediately This would mean the i'm.
mediate extension from Dallas on to
the northwest.
A report from Pierre stating that
surveyors have been laying out stakes
north Of the White river, Is furnishing
meat for the stories. One report says
that depot plans at Phillips, s. d.,
call for a much more elaborate sta.
ton than those at Midland, which was
formerly considered the point at
which the extension might connect
with the new road across South Da-
| kota
The Herrlck Press takes little stock
| in these stories and says:
Just now there Is great deal being
said about the C. & N. WIS new road
being extended on through Trip coun-
| ty this summer. 1t Is true there seems
high officials with reference to this
portion OF the system, the general SUI
perintendent accompanied by other
high officials having made two trips
over the new road last week, going as
far as Gregory the first time and out
to Dallas the second trip.
There have also been persistent ru-
mors of gang of surveyors working
from Midland south. on a line to con-
meet with the new road at Dallas. We
have been unable up to the present,
however, to find verifcation for any
of these rumors.
With the opening of Trip county
to settlement coming next spring, how
ever, may be sufficient cause for extra
activity on the part of the company
to push the road on as rapidly as pos
sible But it will take extra activity
on their part if the road is extended
this year.
