the glad hand to the l79 visiting bank

Northeast Nebraska Bankers associa-

was held In the Auditorium and was
the largest and most successful in the
history of the association. In the
evening a banquet was rendered the
visitors In Marquard's hall at which
Governor George L. Sheldon was an
honored guest. Covers were laid Tor

courses by the Ladies' guild of Trim
ity church The hall decorations were
the handiwork Of the young ladies Of
Trinity Social guild. In speaking of
the banquet on Thursday The News

The hall was decorated in remark
ably pretty way, green and pink pre-
dominating The ceiling was green
with artificial leaves that hung sus-
pended from everywhere; pillars and
corners and tables were pink with
real and artificial carnations. A
score of pretty young women served
the banquet course by course, in uni
son that was charming. From behind
a large cagclike screen of green came
soft, sweet strains Of music through
out the evening, produced by Miss
Fannie Norton at the piano and julius
HUFF on the violin And the deli
cacies of the banquet rounded out the

A packed house greeted the Norfolk
band at the Auditorium on Monday
evening, when they presented their
second annual minstrel show. 1t was
one of the best local talent produc-
lions Norfolk has seen. A dozen or
more pretty girls in bewitching cos
tunes added a new charm to the old
time minstrel show. The stage of the
Auditorium had been transformed into
a veritable electrical garden, with
clusters of rich red flowers hanging
everywhere, lighted by electricity from
within, the effect was very pleasing
Much credit must be given the band
part of the evening was given over to
minstrelsy exclusively. There were
the clever end men, funny jokes, songs
and dances.
The second part of the evening was
devoted to vaudeville specialties
Many new features were introduced
and the audience was we'll entertain
ed from start to finish.
Norfolk people appreciate the banc
and were glad to have the opportunity
of saying so. At the close of the en-
tertainment, the young people who
took part in the minstrel show were
the guests of the band at little sup
