The star number of the evening

mlde' by Rossinl, rendered by sixteen
performers on eight pianos. 1t would
seem almost Incredible that a thirty
two hand performance could be given
with precision and beautiful effect,
still this was done. The overture was
faultlessly rendered and the players
were obliged to respond to an encore.
The theme was well defined through.

the line Of eight pianos. from the last
one on the left to the furthest one on
the right, only to re. appear again in
a slightly modified form until all the
little notifications blended into one

this city only short time ago by the
Minneapolis symphony orchestra, one
of the recognized leading musical
organizations of the country

southeast, were broken into last Fri
day morning, supposedly during the
Barnum & Bailey parade, and bur
Rlarlzed these homes out of couple
valuable watches, several pieces OF
iewelry, and some money.
The residence OF DIR. Hall was en-
tered some time between $50 q. m.
and 10 80 p. M, while the family was
away. It is thought that the thief or
thieves got IN through the back door
with skeleton key and then locked
the door again when leaving the
house. as revolver, which had been
taken from bureau drawer, was left
on the back porch. A gold watch,
gold ring and a purse containing
about $16. the property of Mrs. Hall,
we're taken, as also stick pin belong
ing to Mrs. Halls sister. All the
rooms of the second story bore evil
dence of having been thoroughly gone
through, bureau drawers being pulled
out, etc. ..
The home of Mrs. Steele must have
been entered while the lady was in the
back part of the house, as she was at
home all morning. Entrance was
gained by cutting a small slit in the
front screen door and unlocking it.
The thief went up to the front room in
the second story and stole gold watch
valued at $685., gold ring valued at
IS, class pin, college pin, and a
purse containing about S.. Neighbors
state that a couple of suspicious look
ing fellows had been seen watching
the premises early that morning.
During the time of the parade a
young man trid both the front and
back doors of a residence on Fourth
street northeast, after which he went
and looked through window screen,
but saw that somebody was in, made
a face, and was heard talking with
someone else when departing.
At the Al. Simonet place, savings
bank belonging to the children was
taken from the home. Not much
money was in it, but what there was
was taken, and the broken bank left
in the barn.
A couple residences on the West side
were also entered, that of John Don
nelly and Axel johnson. Nothing is
missing from these two homes, how
ever, although they bore evidence of
having been generally ransacked.
