We very much regret TO confess that
we last week forgot to mention one of
the most delightful entertainments ever
given in Webster. The program was
enacted on Thursday evening Of the
week before and owing to late press
night we were unable TO be present, but
from everybody who was sufficiently
fortunate to attend the musical program
given by Mesdames Beulah- Buck Col
her. Frank Anderson, A. E. Gregory
and Miss Mcdonald we nave heard
nothing but unstinted praise. Mrs.
Collier is dramatic reader Of splendid
ability and training and her efforts in
that role were exceedingly pleasing
The vocal numbers by Mesdames Collier
and Anderson were away beyond those
usually rendered upon Webster stage
and the piano and violin as operated by
Mrs Gregory and Miss Macdonald
were delightful.
The Sioux City Journal Wednesday
morning contained the following item
from Andover: "With the object of
proving themselves as great heroes as
the heroes are depicted in some of the
dime novels they had been reading,
three young boys whose parents reside
upon farms in the vicinity of Andover
went upon a rampage and before the
heavy arm of the law could be laid
upon them they had done considerable
damage upon the farms In the vicinity
OF their homes. They started their
career of crime by shooting anu killing
valuable dog belonging to William
Boyd. Then they raided adjoining
farms, taking apart buggies and farm
machinery, letting great quantities of
seed grain out upon the ground, shoot
ing through windows of farm houses
and committing other acts of deviltry
They finally were rounded up by officers
and taken before an Andover justice
who fined them $97 for their fun The
boys, whose ages range from 10 to 16,
also have terms in the reform school
staring them in the face"
