Blind BOOne's concert.

The gallery at the opera house was
iammed and the remainder of the
house well sprinkled Thursday even
ing at the concert of the Blind Boone
Concert company and every one
present got his moneys worth. The
house was cold and Boone used the
regular piano, not carrying his own
this year; but still he put up an en-
tirely creditable performance.
The soprano, Emma Smith, was
pleasing and nearly broke up the
show by her renderingof Ma Brudda
Sylvest. The gallery was so con-
vulsed that that it took some time to
restore order. The contralto: Jessie
Brosius, had good voice and re-
ceived two encores.

Water Main Breaks.

One of the Main street water mains
broke this morning. permitting water
to enter the basement of the Model
Boot Shop, threatening to fill it,
Water superintendent Dick Mclean
started a crew of workmen shortly af-
ter neon to make repairs. the task be
ing difficult one owing to the neces-
Sity of taking up a section of the
paving. 1t is believed a saddle gave
way, allowing the water to soak
through the soil and finding an outlet
under the walk in front of the Model
Boot Shop. Little damage was done in
the basement.
