FIFTY MINISTRIES
IN TON|GHT'S SHOW
PARADE GIVEN THIS NOON WITH
BAND AND PART OF THE MIN
STRELS-TWO NIGHTS SHOW.

strenuous hard work in the prepara-
tien Of the show, the Ragtime Min
strel Reception will take place this
evening, with all the eclat that only
a "culed gemman" can fully appre-
ciate. The matter of "why does
chicken cross the street," has been
thoroughly discussed, and it was de-
cided to leave that problem to the
next generation and to inaugurate
some entirely new and original stunts.
Mr.. James w. Evans, the director.
has recently come from "Blacktown"
and brought with him a fresh assort-
ment of the latest lore Of "Coondom.
The boys have caught his inspiration
and the Wenatchee band is offering
guarantee of one thousand dollars to
any one this evening who laughs less
than six hundred times That is
about one laugh for every two sec
Onds.t
Some of the stunts will make pro-
digious hits. For ages to come the
children of this valley will be telling
their grandchildren Of how Mr..
Stocker impersonated Mrs. Lee; how
"Blondy" gave the Salome dance. And
the gags of the end men are simply
side splitting. Coon songs vibrating
with African emotion will thrill the
soul of the most rabii opponent Of
syncopated melody. The political
burletta of the finale is somtehing
very original in the way of "nigger"
entertainment. Nothing was ever at
tempted like 1t before in this kind of
a show.
An olio of several specialties will
pe introduced. MI. DaI1acn VIII pre-
sent his new and unique swinging of
Indian clubs, illuminated by electric
lights. Mr.. Humphreys will be as
sisted by Mr.. Dallach and by eight
little boys who will make an enor-
nous success of "The Bogie Man" 1t
IS introduced by male quartet.
Numerous other features are on the
program and not a dull moment will
be allowed the full house that is ex-
pected this evening. This show re-
peats tomorrow night. The follow
