All can appreciate the program of
The Ernest Gamble Concert Party on
Friday evening, Nov. q, as it is most
attractive and interesting, being a
four page, de luxe one with explanatory
and analytic notes and libretto, so
that 1t can be understood by the aver
age listener, whether musical or not.
Each member of the Gamble Party is
the product of the greatest European
masters and they offer an ideal even
ing of delightful music. These artists
perform to the hearts of their listen
ers not over their heads. A Philadel-
phia critic described concert by this
Party as being mot so popular as to
be musically cheap and not so severely
classical as not to be popular" This

Working From Head Office.

Secretary Morrison of the American
Federation of Labor has written to
Keohuk, stating that he is getting in
touch with organizers In the various
districts wherever button factories
are located and that as soon as the
international charter has been secur
ed and an international organizer ap-
pointed matters will be in such shape
that the union can grow.
The initiative in the movement for
gigantic international union of this
kind was taken in Keokuk almost inn
mediately following a wage contro.
versy between local button cutters
and the button factory here An
amicable settlement was reached af-
| ter contention of several days, and
matters are now running smoothly.
The industry has undergone stupen-
duous growth during the past year,
but conditions have also materially
changed and button workers feel that
there is need for some organization
on their part in order to regulate the
wage scale from time to time. The
Keokuk union and also the union al
Canton, Mo-, are large ones, compris
ing practically every cutter in the two
towns
Union men say that everything is
going along smoothly and nothing in
the way of difficulty is to be encount-
cred before the plan has been effected

Minstrel Show.

The ticket sale for the Old Time
Minstrel Friday night is exceedingly
large and the audience regardless OF
size is bound to be pleased, as every
thing is new, including jokes and
songs and the stage settings without
doubt, will be the best witnessed In
this city other than by professionals.
Much hard work and strong interest
has been taken in the event in order
to make it a success and uphold the
former reputation of all the previous
minstrel shows given by the best
talent in the city. Each and every par
ticipant has his part mastered IN con-
junction with the powerful chorus
which assists each soloist and end
men with the final chorus of his song
and is the premier feature OF the
show. The make up of the NONSENSE
cal end men with their tambo's IN
action throughout the entire perform
ance and the new and comical gags
and steps will keep the audience in
constant uproar of laughter. The
l9llaQ SINGERS, dllGl IL hSCh oS'ts ~ u
through their capable Judgment, have
chosen the most appealing songs
both in words and music in connec-
ton with the special written orches-
trations for each song. The after
part of the minstrel is another one OF
the strong points of the show and
will be just trife different from
what the public has witnessed before
in amateur performances including
songs dancing and monologues by
those who know how to get them OH
From the present indications there
will be no chance for any one in the
audience who possesses the slightest
ear for music and has a funny bone
in their body to leave the massive
auditorium tomorrow evening dissat'
isfed.

effort, and in order to maintain a

The revennc from foreign mails is tho

to give it away in any OTHER form or

The revenue from foreign mails In
1906 was nearly $4,000. 900. The cost
of transporting mails to South Aineri-
can and trans Pacific points was given
last year as less than 100000. Most

American shippers require. II the
