M. Shafer, at the public library, tomorrow and Monday. AND The big double program at Steine's Nickelet called out packed houses, and the pictures were of the very best. The Wright aeroplane maneuvers gave a comprehensive insight as to how airships move through space.

Mr. Lloyd Calby's song was well received. We have been informed that Roosevelt in Africa will be presented soon.

He remembered one of his friends at the Democrat office with a fine bass, weighing about four pounds, as fine a specimen as we ever saw, and words are lame to express its exquisite flavor. It was fine!
