The ELkS' ENTERTAINMENT,
A SPLENDID MUSICAL SUCCESS
THOROUGHLY ENJOYED.
The Heaviest Programme Ever Rend.
ered In Sumter-The Artists Who
Fartcipated-The Programme.

Monday evening the music lovers of
sumter assembled in the Academy of
Music to hear the best and most ar
tistic programme ever rendered in
this city. From the opening number
until the last note was sung, the au-
dience was enthusiastically apprecia-
tive. The numbers rendered were
most happily selected. There was not
one of them but presented some in
spring melody or simple grace. Mrs.
McLemore scored distinct success in
her first number, a waltz-song by
Gregh. which gave her voice much
scope for it's remarkable cultivation.
1t Is a great joy to hear voice so
roundly developed as her's-the high
tones so true and resonant yet full of
richness, and the low tones equally
as fine in appealing sympathy. The
other songs Spring Flowers" and "At
Parting" were less pretentious, techni-
cally, but unique and sung with great
taste. Mrs. McLemore was received
enthusiastically, being called on for
several encores. She sung two Irish
love songs by Lohr.
Miss Gottlieb might as well have
possessed fairy's wand and magic.
so completely did she cast a spell over
her hearers. Without doubt she DOS
sesses a wonderfoul voice and we feel
assured in saying that there is no or
dinary future in store for her. Hiss
Gottlieb sang "The Pilgrims Song,''
by Techaikowsky. first. This was her
most classical number. Then she gave
the MAY Morning" Of Denza and
Thou Art My All" Of Bradsky, with
exquisite grace. Her encorses were
in the lighter vein, yet charming, fas-
cinating.
Mr.. Arbuckle. the cellist, was in
great form. His solos were so ad-
mirably suited to the deep appealing
quality Of his instrument and his rem
dition Of them so thoroughly tasteful
and soulful that one could not but be
inspired by his work. The cello fair
ly talked under his fingers.
Concerning Messrs. Schumacher

Dividing PAS Money

When the thrifty master departed
this globe Of Joy and strife and sor-
rows, he left behind him snug sum
to be distributed thus:
To his wife, 5000.
To his sister, 5000.
To his shiftless son, 81.
The contents of this will only serv-
I'd as bellows to the jealousy, lust.
hatred and ambition that lurked in
the Goals Of the family forge. Con-
sequentiy these heneflciaries clashed
and fought 1t out In the courts. When
the law had settled this dispute the
final division Of the money was thus :
Wife, 1900.
Her lawyers, 5000.
Her sister-in-law, 1900.
Her lawyers, 5000.
The shiftless son owes his counsel
go.
Thus the shiftless son was $50 to
the bad instead of 81 to the good.

Decrease In Cattle

The large shipments Of cattle from
Routt county this fall, together with
the heavy losses from last years q

the number Of cattle In central and
western Routt. The Pierce Reef COM

Blevins Of North park. All the big
and little cattleraisers have made
heavy shipments to the Denver
market. Those who know state that

Into one of the saloons he went. At

the bishop to drink with them, and

We suspect our old friend Jack

to go through the bar room, 80 We
have no doubt the incident Jack re-

all, ha burned, but it turned out
that only the hay stack and pos
turt on the Francis ranch had been
destroyed. A party who went up

and all the pasture on the place

wind was blowing.

Good Headway on Magnolia

j. w. Clutf and j. ID Poutrie
returned from their visit to the

with what they found there. Mr..
Cluff said: sit looks good to me.
1 am satisfied with the way the
work" is progressing on the Magno-
liza and | am confident, from show
ing we are getting, as the tunnel
advances in on the vein, that we
have a good proposition. l don't
think any claim in Gold Hill ever
had a better showing with the
same amount of development
work"
Eighty feet of TUNE, has already
been completed and the work is
progressing at the rate of two feet
per day, which is considered good
progress. Supplies for the camp
for the winter have gone in and
all is now in readiness for a win
ter's campaign of development
work. The owners feel confident
that spring will bring the mine
work to such a point that the
value of the lead will have been
demonstrated and the value of the
Magnolia, as an ore producer, est
ablished.
