The Singers Were Fine

$. E Busser, superintendent of the Santa Fe reading rooms, could not have sent any other company of entertainers to Williams that would have pleased the railroad boys and others any more than did the Nebraska Concert Company of the University of Nebraska Sunday night. This quartette of talented singers was greeted by a large and appreciative audience. Every seat in the opera house was occupied.
 The personnel of the company is E. B. Conant. manager and basso; Arthur Nesbitt, tenor; Alice w. Conant, soprano; Dorinda Abbott, alto; Marioried Anderson. pianist and accompanist. Each member of the company is teacher as we'll as student of music and puts forth every effort to please their audience.
 The stage was tastily arranged for the concert. Mrs. w F Dermont, president of the Library Associa tion, had charge of the stage decorations. The stage was one bower of flowers, holly, mistletoe and evergreens. Then the pretty lot of Navajo rugs and Indian reed work added very much to make the stage appear cozy and inviting.
 Monday morning Mrs. Dermont took the singers out for a two hours sleigh ride.

MRS. MELIN DESERVES
 LIBERAL AID
(Communicated)

The good citizens of Williams deserve credit for their untiring efforts in behalf of Mrs. Hannah Melin, who has been i'll for the past few months It is a most pathetic case. She has fought the adyersities of life alone and un- aided for the past five years. With four children hanging to her skirts she has trudged from day light to dark with her washing, while that dreaded foe, cancer, was gnawing her vitality away during the past three years.
 The doctors claim that she is too weak now to undergo an operation and she has been informed of this fact. but she refuses to give up to the disease. She wants to live a wear or two longer, her children be ing too young to be thrown upon this cruel world, scattered one here and one there to forget the brother and sister love for each other taught them from infancy. Thus she lies mon her bed thinking of her con. dition.
 One day a young man entered her house, selling liquid cement, and she told him her condition. The young man said that since the doctors had given her up she ought try Christian Science. He spent four hours telling her about it on his first visit. She was pleased and begged him to call the next day, which he did. Three more hours were consumed in reading to the poor woman who was now grasp ing at that inevitable straw that she may not drown The young man, although poor himself, stayed over another day with her.
 She was so elated over her new hopes that she sent for Mrs. G. H. Birney. who read for her and en-

HALF WAYHOUSE
AT WASHINGTON

"The Half Way House." beauti-
full rural episode. from the pen of
the late Ezra Kendall, will be the
feature offering at the Washington
next week, and will be presented by
Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins Fisher. The
playlet has just the right touch of
human nature to make it heart in
teresting and it is blended with a
veil of droll humor. The gist of the
little story is domestic incident in
small New England town. and it
will bring to mind and eye reminis,
censes of the "Old Homestead" An
exquisite musical offering will be
presented by the Moneta Five. who
are all skilled musicians, and as
singers they have few equals in
vaudeville. The title of their offer
ing is AN Evening at Home" and
is said to be one of the prettiest
musical offerings of the season. A
really ideal children's feature will
be Cabarets dogs These canine
actors perform number of feats
that are amazing and the manner
and precision with which they go
through their performance is sur
prising. The entrance of the dogs
on the stage is rather unique; they
all ride on in an auto and then
alight and take their proper
places. To assume three distinct
and contrasting characters in a
thrilling and absorbing melodra-
matte play is the task which Harry
Spingold undertakes to perform III
The Revielle,' and does so admir-
ably, The quickness with which
Mr.. Spingold makes his changes is
said to be quite remarkable. The
story of the little playlet deals with
civil war times and is said to be a
most interesting one. Americas

BY PETER POWER.

Is the United States Steel cOrpor-
alton preparing to carry its war of
trade union determination into the
mining fields? That is a question
that is uppermost in the minds of
leading officials of the United Mine
Workers. At the recent Indianapolis
convention of the miners President
I. l.. Lewis and others declared
that the steel trust has been quietly
gobbling up thousands of acres of
coal lands. and it was predicted
that sooner or later struggle
would be precipitated.
For more than a year the steel
trust has been endeavoring to de-
stroy the seamen's union on the
great lakes. and during nearly the
same period the octopus has waged
bitter war against the iron, steel
and tinplate workers association at
the trust plants in Ohio, Pennsyl
vania and Indiana.
Now the steel trust is showing its
teeth in the Illinois mining district.
The combine controls the Bunsen
mine at Danvillc, to which the
militia was ordered the other day
to break a strike The Bunsen Coal
Co. refuses to join the Illinois Coal
Operators association. with which
the miners have an agreement. and
insists upon making separate
agreement with the miners, know
ing that such action would cause a
strike in all the mines in the oper-
ators' association.
President Walker of the Illinois
miners charges that the United
States Steel corporation is not only
engaged in stirring up strife among
the mine workers through paid
spies, but is scheming to destroy
the Illinois operators association
"Once the operators association is
destroyed" says Walker, 'the
United States Steel corporation
mines will be in a position to DOM
mate the coal field and fight the
union with the same ferocity that it
has fought organized labor in other
fields"
