Final Amateur Night
For This Season

Last evening tho final Steel FORKS
~" amateur night performance was
given. until next September, when
that popular feature of entertainment
will be resumed under the guidance
of Musical Director Thomas a. Chris
tian.
While there were not as many
numbers on the program last night as
usual those rendered were interest
ing and amusing. most notably folk
tots in Miss Birdie Adams Minnequa
school kindergarten classes. There
were probably thirty children. boys
and girls ranging in age from to
years. The little ones we're costumed
like old world Dutch peasants. and its
remarkable how well Miss Adams has
| trained her charges in character sing
| ing, dancing and evolutions while the
audience enjoyed their infant gyra-
tions the spectators had no more fun
| than to all appearances did the chill
drcn. Their dances were rendered
in groups and no professional ever
| took himself or herself more serious
| ~. So strenuous was tho applause
given each feature that the = judges
| awarded tho tots first prize thru Miss
Adams who no doubt will fill them
up on candy. ice cream and cake. and
| they deserve 1t.
| The second prize went to two little
| Girls-Dorothy Babcock and Anna
McIndoo about of u size. and less
| than 10 years of age. They first
| danced a Scotch Highland fling ac-
lcurately costumed as Bonnie Scotch
Iassies. and their dancing was in per-
feet unison and step. II would
have made Harry Lauder wonder
how such graceful dancing could be
ldone outside of Scotland. Their-sec-
ond dance was an Irish reel costumed
az two colIeens from the Emerald
Isle. and they did the barn door jig
steps to perfection. They wcrc call
cd back time 6tcr time. repeating
steps OF both dances twice. and final
Is having to bow themselves of the
stage. These graceful children de-
served the prize awarded them.
A burles1uc three-round go be-
tween Mexican Pete Everett. who
weighed In at ESQ pounds. and Kid
Buttner. who tipped the scales at
las. created much amusement. The
referee appeared to take bigger
chances of getting knocked out than
did either of tho principals and the
bout ended in draw. So we'll
| pleased with tho audience at tho
| antics OF Buttner that the applause
he received brought the lightweight

Il was a great improvement over the
Clinton. which dated back to- 1881.
The Clinton was little more than a

DUG UP $4,000. 900 TREASURE

A treasure chest containing gold.
silver and jewels worth s5,000.000
was recently unearthed in the marsh
es near Cuxhaven, Germany. The
metal is said to be the finest gold
and silver and to have an art value
considerably in excess of its metal
value. The treasure is believed to- be
part of the hidden hoard of a pirate
named Stoertebecker for which Ger
mans have been hunting since 1890.
Stoertebecker and the Vitalien broth
ers were the most notorious of Euro
pean pirates. After long and sue
cessful career as robbers on the high
seas they were finally defeated in a
battle near HelgOland and later when
they attacked Hamburg. In the lat
ter battle Stoertebecker was captur-
ed. He was hanged in Hamburg.
Under German law the finders are
entitled to 10 per cent of the treasure,
the owner of the property on which II
was found getting the remainder.
The owners hope to have lie trea-
sure remain in Germany rather than
be bought up by wealthy Americans.
They have undertaken negotiations
with the government to that end.
