Concert Strikes Popular Chord
The concert Of Madame Schumann-
Heilk which will open the new Coli
scum Tuesday evening, Oct. 81, is
arousing general Interest. The excel
lence CT the attraction. one of the fore
NEST singers of the day, and the fact
that she IS to appear in this city at
moderate prices are responsible. The
popular verdict is that the bringing
of such a talented artist at prices
within the reach of all marks a new
epoch in musical circles in this city.
Heretofore, singers possessin gncither
the ability nor the reputation CT this
foremost artist, have been brought TO
Davenport at prices that ranged from
81 TO So. Music. both vocal and in
strumental, that is worth while. was
barred 20 people of ordinary means
because of prchibitive prices asked
by organizations that presented the
artists. The Redpath Vawter organ
ization sets a new precedent and it is
an innovation that is greeted with an
public response.

Seed Distribution.

Senator Clark has written us
that he will adopt a new plan for
the distribution of seeds the COM
ing 8 1t is his intention to
send seeds only to those who make
application to him. This will do
away with sending the free seeds
to many who do not use them or
give them to any one who will.
This is a very good plan, as a card
or a letter addressed to the Sena-
tor at Washington, ID. G, will bring
the kind of seeds that you may
want. This will be carried on as
long as the seeds last. If you want
any garden seed or flower seed it
would be advisable to get your
order in now. Heretofore it has
been customary to send seeds to a
given list, and this has been very
unsatisfactory, owing to the fact
that many people move away and
many new ones move in, and lots
of the seed is wasted.

HoOsier Quartette.

Thursday evening the "Aoosier
Quartette' held forth in the hall
to a large and interested crowd.
This Quartette is the third num-
Der on the Lyceum Course this
winter, and probably as much or
more enjoyed than any number
yet given. These young men gave
an entertainment well worth COM
ing many miles to. Their program
was varied, in quartette's treos,
duettes and solos of new and old
music. Mr.. Doughterty, manager,
is a fine young fellow, and sings
tenor, Mr.. Schafer sings first tenor,
Mr. Burton is a baratone singer
aud Mrs. Perkins, is the basso.
They have a fine organization, and
there is enough movement to them
to make the entertainment lively.
They are excellent singers, and
what little of praise we might say
of them would fall short of the
mark due them. The next number
will be on the 7th of January, and
will be a humorist and reader.

Has New Coach.

The s. & E. Ry. has built a new
coach out of an old one that used
to u on their line. They have
taken and rebuilt it from the
ground up, put in new trucks,
put in new double hard wood floor,
rebuilt the seats and put on new
upholstering, took off all the old
paint and put a piano finish on
the inside and out and repaired
all the interior, and in fact, you
can't tell it from new, and it is a
great credit to the road. As soon
as they get their new track layed
at Waleott they will fix up a
couple of box cars for a depot
until spring, when they will build
a good building.

part of the Bible, but it's written
in the history of thousands and
thousands of misfit homes. If one
of you boys ever run across a girl
with her face full of roses; with
eyes that would dim the luster of
a Wyoming sky and with a voice
that would make the song of an
angel seem discordant; and she
says, as she comes to the door (: 1
can't go for a few minutes, I've
got to help mother with the dishes"
Don't give her up. Stick to her
like a burr to a mules tail. just
sit down on the doorstep and
wait. If she joins you in two or
three minutes, so much the better;
but if you have to stay there on
the doorstep for a half hour, OF
an hour, you just wait for her. If
YOU don't somebody else WILL
and in time you'll be sorry, For
you'll realize what you have lost.
Wait for her, boys. She's worth
it.

School Notes.

We have no report from the
Scarrow school, but everything is
moving along nicely down there
under the direction of Miss Lee.
Chicken-pox has caused no little
absence the past two months, but
is subsiding.
Miss Adelaide Newport accom-
panied Miss Ruth Kidding to her
ranch home last Friday and both
returned Sunday evening.
Lyman Kirlin reentered school
last Monday after an absence OF
about two months caused by sick
ness. We we're glad to see him
return.
Garland Gross was out of school
a few days last week on account of
chickenpox.
The surprise party given to Miss
Bess WEIGH Monday evening of
this week was enjoyed by all pres
emit.
Walter McPhsil was up to the
ranch Saturday last.
Miss Lois Bush has been very
much troubled with her voice for
the past two weeks. You will have
to inquire of her the cause.
The class of Is met last. week
and elected the following officers:
Leo Kirlin, President; George
Reynolds, Vice. President; Loretta
Wyant, Secretary; Lenora Welsh,
Treasurer.
The school is in fine condition

All are now looking forward to

its charms" We trust all may
have pleasure abundance, and take
this opportunity to wish all a
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year. j. Frank Rose,

How We Get the News.

Day before yesterday a perfectly
nice lady called us up and with
tears in her voice reproved US for
not mentioning the fact that she
had had a friend visiting her last
week. We told her that she did
not let us know anything about it,
and that therefore, we did not
know that she had a visitor. Then
she said, swell you should have
known. l thought you were run
a newspaper" Wouldn't that rat
tie your stats ? Some people think
that an editor ought to be a cross
between Argus and Anna Eva Fay.
They seem to think that our five
senses are augmented by a sixth
that let's us know everything that
happens, even if we see, hear, feel,
taste or smell it not. Dear lady,
editors are only human or at least,
almost human. If you have a friend
visiting you, if you are going away,
or have returned from a visit out
of town, if little Johnnie falls and
breaks his arm, if your husband
chops his toe instead of a stick of
wook, if anything happens that
makes you glad, or sad, happy, or
mad. call us up. Tell us about it.
