THIRD NUMBER
OF THE COURSE
ParIand Newhall Company, Entertain
ers Gave Excellent Program at
Opera House, Warsaw.
Especial to The Gate City.l


WARSAW. H., Dec 5.-The Par
-Newland Co., Bell Ringers, male
quartet and Horn Quartet, gave one
of their grand concerts to a crowded
house in the opera house Friday night
being the third event in the Star En-
tertainment course, and one of the
best concerts ever heard in Warsaw.
As male quartet they are seldom
equalled and they carried the audi
ence by storm: their horn quartet
numbers were exceptionally fine and
sweet and as bell ringers they charm
ed and at times surprised many of
their hearers by the difficult rendition
of numbers presented The Church
Chimes were beautiful, bringing in
popular church hymns. and the song
in the prison scene from II Trovatore
was stirring and pathetic and beauti-
fully rendered. Mr.. Newhall carrying

rich treat is in store for them. They

there Saturday night.
The buggy, all the harness and the
horse which were stolen Friday morn
ing early were recovered by the mar
shall several miles below town. Some
school children saw the rig standing
on a bridge and informed a nearby
farmer. The thief has not been APP

seen with a sack containing the har-

the road is suspected, he having been
implicated in various thieving jobs for
some years. He has disappeared.

Business Mems Backing.

The second strong point in favor OF
Hannibal is that influential business
men of the town are stockholders in
the base ball association, and no long
er is it controlled by but two men.
Hough will not ask for popular sub
scriptions this season. With the bust
ness men of the town backing the
game, base ball should be a success.
In the third matter Hough compares
Hannibal and Galesburg in their rival
ry for the vacant berth. He told in a
straightforward manner the true con-
ditions in Hannibal, and the condition
in Galesburg as far as he was able.
OF course keokuk directors will weigh
carefully reports from each town, yet
it is thought that they are strongly in
favor of Hannibal at the present time
and that Houghs visit has had mater
ial weight with them.
Before returning to Hannibal Man
ager Hough will visit every city in
the Central association circuit, and his
trip should be productive of much
good.
Conditions in Galesburg are not as
familiar to Keokuk fans as those in
Hannibal, and that place is still to
hear from.

Being as December 18th is only q few days hence, we take our pen in hand to write a apropose edito- rial on the subject of Chrismus.
 Chrismus is something that comes once a year and is looked for ward to with more anticipashion by them as receives than by them as gives. It is said that it is more blessed to give than to receive yes, it is more blessed to them as receives. It is more blessed to give than to receive if what you receive consists of smallpox, itch, measles, or other contajus diseases. If it is more blessed to give than to receive, the folks of Bingville and vicinity ain't found it out yet. The general practice which pervails in this nab orhood is to get all you can and give as little as possible.
 Most folks hereabout will cele- brate Chrismus in one way or an other. Folks's idees about celebra- ting Chrismus differs considerable. Take Cy Hoskins, for instants. Cy always celebrates Chrismus by hav- ng a big turkey dinner. Then Cy aats turkey and stuffin and punkin pie and nince pie and cranberrys and other things till he nearly busts hisself, then he feels miserable for a week afterwards. That's Cy's idee of celebrating Chrismus. Then take Bill Hepburn. Bill always eel ebrates Chrismus by laying in a 1 gal. jug of whiskey, which he stays by all day Chrismus, guzzling same until he arrives at that con dition where he couldn't say for shure whether it be Chrismus or 4th of July. For several days after wards Bill is laid Up with head ache and poor appetite and thus is incapacitated for work in his black smith shop.
 On ChrlsnuS eve the BlngVlllt Church will celebrate Chrismus witt Chrismus tree in Church, also by entertainment. There will bt Chrismus anthems sung by the choii and resitashions recited by tht little folks. Follering this, the pres. ents will be took offen the tree anc distributed among whoever they b' for. Jed Peters, our intelligen skoolteacher, will act as Santa Clau' on this occashion. Jed will be al

 and candy. Since this has been an

Tho P. 0. COIdI

There has been considerable complaint lately on the part of folks who patron ize the Bingville P. o. because it is colder than a barn. Eph Higgins, our accommodating P. NJ. has a stove in the P. O., but there ain't no fire in it half the time, and when there is fire in it, the fire ain't big enough to even take the frost offen the stove. Several have spoke to postmaster Higgins about this, but Eph says that as soon as the people of Bingville and vicinity takes enough interest in the P. O. and enough inter est in him as s tumble servant of the U. S. Government, to buy more stamps and postage cards, and to buy more mail boxes for their own personal mail at 25 cts. per quarter, he will then keep the P. 0. so hot that it will be uncom- fortable. Eph said he only sold nine 2-cent stamps and one postage card last week, and how can anybody afford to keep up a fire when business is so dull ? As for Eph, what little time he Is in the P. O., he wears his buffalo coat, a wool cap with ear Hops over his ears, and his arkticks in order to keep warm.
