The musical given at the Wenat chee theater under the auspices of the Wenatchee High School last evening was a complete success. Fi nancially, and from the standpoint of a critic of musical talent, the stud ents of the local institution more than fulfilled the expectations of their friends. Much work had been ex pended on the part of the faculty and student body to insure the excellence of the program and a well-filled house greeted the participants on the raising of the curtain. A feature of the musical was the work of the High School orchestra, which ren dered the opening and closing num bers. Under the direction of Prof. Louis Crollard, the High School mu sicians rendered music of which an older and more experienced orchestra might well be proud. The High School glee club gave two pleasing vocal numbers, and there were some individual selections that were es pecially pleasing. Mrs. C. C. Griggs sang "My Dream," and was heartily encored, as was Mr. G. C. Humphreys in his vocal solos. Roy Smith, turn ing from the classical, ga\e an old time "coon" song, "De Watermelon Smilin' on de Vine," accompanied by a Southern "hoe-down" and was repeatedly encored. A violin duet by Messrs. Lyman Shotwell and Earl Thompson was one of the highly ap preciated numbers. The recitation:; by Misses Doris Jones and Helen Col lier were indicative of much careful work on the part of the young ladies in preparing their selections and showed them fitted for their parts. Piano selections by Misses Beard, Godfrey and Wiester were very well rendered and a whistling solo by Charles McNerney was one of the pleasing numbers. In conclusion of the program, the "Deutsche Gesell schaft" in the role of "Schneider's Band," made a hit, their seven-foot drum major being a wonder to the small boy in the audience. The pro ceeds of the musical will be used to make the final payment on the High School piano. The gross proceeds of the evening were $130, and the net proceeds will probably be $105.

ATKIXSOX HERE Former British Volunteer in Africa Decides to Locate in Chelan County One of the most remarkable mili tary expeditions of modern times, or of any period for that matter, was that sent by the British government in ISB4-5 into the Soudan for the purpose of raising the siege of Khar toum and rescuing from the Mahdi General George Charles Gordon.

The Bread and Butter Question AN all-important question with nine out of every ten of us. tew there are who are not con fronted with the question of making a living. It is necessarp, therefore, that attention be given to the practical side of life. Learn to Earn by attending The Wenatchee Business College Southside Resolutions. The following resolutions, which were passed the other day by the Southside Farmers' Club, are highly expressive of the indignation of the people in that section over the acts of a few men in Waterville which at tempt to thwart a good measure: Whereas, the Waterville Commer cial Club in a meeting recently held, refused to indorse the movement for the purchase of the bridge across the Columbia at Wenatchee by the state. Whereas, the Farmers' Club of Southside refuses to believe that this action is indicative of the sentiment in Douglas county and that we be lieve that the whole sentiment of the county except by a few men at Wat erville is strongly in favor of the measure and that we hereby con demn the action taken by a few men purporting to represent the people of Douglas county and that by mis taken premises they have caused the measure to be questioned. Whereas, By virtue of a contract made with the people of Wenatchee this bridge can be bought at a fig ure which would be a good bargain for the state, and Whereas, the bridge is the natural intersection of the great highways of the state and is located in the exact center of the state and is the natural center for great traffic, and Whereas, We charge centain men of Waterville to be acting for cen tain political interests and personal, and not for the benefit of the county at large, Therefore, Be It Resolved, By the Farmers' Club of Southside, that we do not agree with a few men of Wat erville who purport to represent the whole of Douglas county and that we request Mr. E. C. Davis, our state representative, to lend his influence to the passage of Senate Bill, No. 175. Lost —One watch foh set with opals and a Foresters' charm.
