GREAT MAGICIAN COMING.

Negotiations have been com.
pleted whereby the people of this
city will have an opportunity to
witness q series of performances
by the great .McEwan, the fa-
nous Scottish hypnotist, who
will inaugurate a three night
engagement at the Electric, com
mencing Fl Thursday, October %
There is no performance so fun
ny as a we'll conducted hypnotic
Entertainment A class of local
young men are always used as
subjects. Coming upon the stage
from the audience of their own
free will, the antics they go thru
are amusing in tbs extreme. For
instance the imaginary ball game
milking the COWS, picking straw
berries, the young man in the
park alone ON bench with his
best girl. All of these tests go
toward making a clean perfor
nance. Aside from hypnotism
Oriental magic occupies an i'm
p"rtant part on the program
A strong feature of the perform
ance is the singing OF MISS Flor

First Presbyterian Church.

Notwithstanding our serious dis
building for religious purposes. we
are still making headway, and are
pushing the work with all our might.
The bazaar held by the ladies of
the church last week was an unquali-
fled success in spite of the very in
clement weather we encountered. The
gross income seems to be about $240,
with very trifling expenses to be de-
Quoted therefrom. In the name of all
our people, the writer would offer his
sincere gratitude to the general pub
lie for the generous patronage given
u.s.
Our services for next Sabbath will
include a beautiful solo sung by Miss
Agnew, and written by Adams, en-
titled "Alone With God" There is
always a unity between all the spec
ial music and the sermon which
makes the service most helpful and
pleasing. The pastor will preach both
morning and night, and at both of
these services we will have anthems,
as well as solos
On the evening of December 10th,
the choir will give the next musical
service entitled, THE Shepherds
Story The story will be illustrated
with music Throughout. Remember
what treat we had a few weeks ago,
and be on hand for another such in
spring service.

gathered to pay their last act of
respect to the departed friend, and
extend sympathy to her sorrowing
family.

There comes time in the affairs
of every town, if it would move for
ward. when it devolves upon its citi-
zenship to join hands, lay aside all
animosities of the past, and pull to-
gether for the common good of all
1t is by this process that cities are
built; it is by this process that viii
lagos and towns east aside their
swaddling clothes and advance, keep
ing step with the agricultural and
commercial environment in which
their lot is cast. The history of cities
that its inhabitants point to with
pride, show that concentrated act
ion in civic affairs was the one thing
that led up to greater and better con-
ditions, and placed realty values up
on safe and substantial basis.
Next Tuesday, December 14th, the
voters of Falls City will be called up
on to vote bonds in the sum of
$12,500, which amount was pledged
by our citizens last July, the same
covering the cost of a tract of land
to be used by the Missouri Pacific
railway company as terminal yard
age. At the meeting last July there
was not dissenting voice to the
proposition, and our best citizenship
came forward promptly with their
personal guarantees covering the
amount asked for. The agreement
between the railroad people and our
citizens was plain and to the point,
and for fear of misunderstanding
of the same, we give verbatim copy
of the document:
