N. V. A. Becomes Greater
Factor i'm Affairs of
Artists in Vaudeville

When vaudevillians relax do they HE
themselves away from the theater and
booking Office to regions where stage
electricians and stage managers are
things only dimly remembered? Visit
the N. Y. A. Club, the home Of the
rational vaudeville artists, some Sun

Guilty in answering this question: Like
the baseball player who spends his day
off watching his fellow players in ac-
tion the vaudeville actor, any actor in
fact, spends his leisure time in the
thcater or any place where he can
watch others at work in the profession.
Every Sunday evening at the N. V.
A. clubhouse on West Forty-sixth
Street is known as Bohemian night,
when dinner is served in the reception
room of the club and members volun-
teer their efforts to furnish the enter
tainment. Places at the tables are at
premium and are reserved long IN
advance.
Eight acts were presented last Sun
day evening. NADIA Norraine, a double
voiced singer, opened the bill and was
followed by Harry Lester Mason, VIII Q
gave an amusing monologue entitled
"The Waiter" Irving and Jack kauf-
man, phonograph singers; the Llghtner
Sisters in comedy and songs, Felix
Bernard and Sidney Townes in piano
and song act, Gus Stewart and Jerry
Moore in dance limitations, Harry and
Anna Seymours in songs and persona
tions, and the Saxophone SeXtette com
pleted the program.
The actors, both those who have per-
formed and those who have watched,
wait until the space is cleared for
dancing and then the jazz band assem-
bles. Dancing starts, and if a visitor
not member Of the profession should
happen to be present he would be dis
appointed Despite the grace and agil-
ity which is shown in dances behind
the footlights no great skill is notice

has numerous places where non-profes-

better.

Austin & Mccoy are branching out
and establishing a new store at Big
Springs which will open for business
some time next week. W. J. Mccoy
left for Omaha this morning to pur-
chase a carload of furniture for the
new store. L. C. McKellips, son of
S. T. McKellips, will be local manager
Of the new store and will move his
family there next week. 1t is the
intention of Austin & Mccoy, now
that they have two stores, to buy all
their furniture in carload lots enabling
them to buy their goods at much bet
ter figures and secure better deliv-
cries. Since Austin & Mccoy took
over the furniture business the first
of the year the volume has been con-
stantly increasing: Both the propri,
etors are good business men and
bound to succeed. The Big Springs
business will be run under the firm
name of L. C. McKellips & Co.

Fellows who desire to take this de-
gree. It is the intention to put on a
big feed early in the evening and elab-
crate plans are being made to take
care Of and entertain the many visitors
who are expected. There are many
Odd Fellows in Julesburg who are
big enough to throw the bear and we
will wait and see whether they are
able to accomplish this feat or not.
Anyway there is gong to be a big

E. J. Waller New
Minister Appointed
For Methodist Church

=. J. Waller is the new minister who
will serve the members of the Method
ist church in Julesburg the coming
year. Mr. Waller preached to this
congregation about eleven years ago
and all were very anxious to have him
return again and the news that he
has been chosen for this charge is very
gratifying to the members of the
church. Mr.. Inman. who has been
pastor the past two years will go to
Windsor, Colorado, where there is
large and flourishing church. Mr.. In
man, during his stay in Julesburg,
made a host of trends both in his
church and among the citizens in gen.
eral who are most sorry to have him
leave Rev. Inman was a man among
men and has done great deal for the
community in many ways. We wish
Rev. Inman the best of success in his
new field.

Big Springs Now 4
Receives Electric
Current From Here

The electric light and power line
connecting the town of Big Springs
with the light and power plant Of
Julesburg has been completed The
line was hooked up with the power
plant here last night. A few more
supplies and accessories are needed
before the enterprise is fully COM
pleted but it will be q matter of only
a few days until Big Springs will have
all the advantages of modernly
equipped and up-to-date lighting plant.
A large number of the houses and
places of business in the town have
been wired and are all ready for the
turning on Of the juice. This will make
three towns. besides our own, whose
lights are furnished by Julesburg,
namely, Sedgwick. Ovid, and Big
Springs. In addition to that, there
is also line running out north Of
our city amongst the farmers and fur
nishing light to the farm houses, and
farmers all along the line both between
here and Sedgwick and between this
town and Big Springs are connecting
in on the line and getting their lights
from our central plant. Julesburg has
one Of the finest electric light plants
in the west and is amply able to sup
ply all comers with current.

CITIZENS SHOULD
MAKE EFFORT
TO SECURE R. R,
NEW PROPOSED LINE WILL
TOUCH RICH TERRITORY TO
SOUTHEAST OF JULESBURG-
SEVERAL TOWNS AFTER 1T.

The Grit-AdvOcate believes that the
Community Club of Julesburg ought
to get Interested in the new railroad
that certain business men of western
Nebraska are trying to build from
CulbertsOn, in that state, northward
to connect with the Union Pacific
either at North Platte, Ogallala, q
Julesburg. Considerable progress has
been made already and both North
Platte and Ogallala are going after
the proposition hard. 1t is not ySt
too late for Julesburg to get into the
race. Julesburg is the natural place
for the northern terminal Of the line.
From Julesburg southeast along tho
south side Of the Platte river to Grant
and from there on to Hayes Center
and Clbertson is the logical route for
such railroad. 1t is the natural d.
rection which nearly all railroads take
and would afford the best and most
easily constructed grade. Next to Q
sugar factory it would prove 10
greatest good to our city that could
be possibly obtained. It would opsa
up q rich territory to the southeast
whose trade and connections would -
worth untold wealth to this city and
in fact would come nearer being the
means that might finally induce
sugar factory to locate in Julesburg
than any other thing that could hap
pen: 1t is an opportunity that evs9y
business man and every forward look
ing farmer in this community should
be interested in. North Platte has
even gone so far as to partly finance
move to survey the proposed route
from Hayes City to their own city but
we are sure it is not yet too late for
Julesburg to enter the lists and ret
busy. Take a map and see how nicely
a line from Julesburg through the
places we have mentioned would con-
meet up with the Burlington railroad
at Culbertson and see il you don't
think Julesburg ought to do every
thing in its power to get this railroad.
If we lose we are no worse of than
we are now. If we win, no one can
calculate the benefits it will bring VI.
