DANDY DIXIE MINISTRIES
GENUINE NEGRO ENTERTAINERS
WILL BE AT OPERA HOUSE
NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT.

The Dandy Dixie Minstrels, -
headed by Billy Kersans, Many
Campbell and Arthur Prince, the
Big Four minstrel men, with two
genuine negro singers, dancers and
comedians, including the Cotton
Pickers Band" and orchestra, are
coming to the opera house in Daw-
son Saturday night, March 18th.
This is one of the guaranteed good
shows of the season, especially noted
for superb singing, dancing, special
ty, comedy, band and orchestra
features. Since their initial perform
ances on the New York Theatre
Roof Garden in 1905 the "Dandies"
have toured and triumphed in every
large city in the United States and
Canada, and performed continuously
winter and summer with great none
tary and artistic success. 1t is I'M
der the personal direction of John
j. Nolan, one of the founders of the
world-famous Black Patti Trouba-
dours, another successful and popu-
lar stage enterprise.
Billy Kersans, who, with James
Crosby, Many Campbell and Ar
thur L. Prince, the Big Four min
strel stars of the Dandy Dixie Min
strels," is probably the oldest and
most popular Of all the living real
negro minstrels. Kersans was con-
tempOraneous with Billy Birch,
Charley Backus, Billy Emmerson,
Dan Reed, Eph Horn, and all the
minstrel kings of the past thirty
years. Born in slavery and on the
plantation, where the bones, tambo
and banjo accompanied the old-time
darkey past-times, and with an in
herited talent for song and dance,
Billy in early boyhood attracted the
attention of Manager Jack Haverly,
who gave him his first stage oppor-
tunity. Billy's supremacy as a min
strel star has been acknowledged by
nearly all the present day coon
shouters" and singers, for they have
taken Kersans as a marvel to imi-
tate
This show will be in the opera
house, not under canvas.

BULL BURIED ALIVE.
ThreSherS Unintentially Cover An
imal With Straw But Discover
II In Time to Save Him.

Buried alive under straw stack for
six hours, a valuable bull belonging to
Ed. Banker, of Franklin township,
came near losing his life, but was dis
covered just in time to resusictate him
and save his life.
Threshing had been going on at the
Banker farm all day Saturday. When
the machine was set Banker directed
the straw to be thrown on the old pile
which the cattle had used for shelter.
Then the pile soon grew in size the
threshers little thinking that the cat
tie were not all out of the way. When
Banker rounded up the cattle the bull
was missing and search failed to
locate the animal.
Then the owner concluded that pos
sibly the old fellow was buried beneath
the straw pile, and after removing the
greater part of the latter there the bull
was found on his launches gasping for
breath. The ANIMAL will live.--Leba-

Twas a False Alarm.

The young lady who has charge of
the Office of Harry Dressler, the nat
ural gas man, is not overlooking the
interests of the establishment for a
minute, as the Norwood police can
we'll testify. Wednesday she was alb
sent from the room for few minutes
and when she returned she discovered
the typewriter was missing, She ran
to the door and saw man several
blocks away carrying box under his
arm. She didn't faint nor did she
scream. She telephoned the police
that very minute and she put them to
work. A half hour later Detective
Kendall nailed the man with pack
age, only to discover it was soap box
and not the typewriter. Operator
Edwards had the Seventh District
officers, on Walnut Hills, watching
the cars, and every Norwood copper
had his eyes peeled. Then 1t was sud
denly "al OFF," Mr.. Dressler phoned
the police that he had taken the type
writer home and forgotten TO notify
the Office girl, Norwood Enterprise.
