The Rebeccas of Dayton will give a play entitled, "The Spinsters Return
From the Klondike," in the Dayton hall next Saturday evening. The
play is a
sequel to the one given by the Rathbone Sisters some months ago. It will
be
remembered that the spinsters in that play hear of a demand for women in the
Klondike, and so after being made over by Prof. Makeover, they all went to
the Frozen Fields of Klondike in search of companions. This play will
picture very vividly, the success achieved by the spinsters and is sure to
please everyone who attends. The Dayton orchestra will furnish music for the
occasion.
On Saturday evening of next week the band will give another minstrel in the
Dayton Hall. The program will be different in every respect except a few
songs which will be repeated. All the jokes will be new and up to date, some
new songs will be given and the monologues will be changed. One of the
features of the entertainment will be a farce which will take about one hour
to play and will be in itself an entire entertainment. The band will render
some very fine concert music.
In the trial of James Glenn vs. L. E. & W. Railroad company, Mr. Glenn was
defeated and will receive no damages for breaking his leg.
Messrs. Thompson, Morris, Cantrell, Benham and Keifer were summoned from
Dayton last week to Williamsport to attend the trial of Glenn vs. L. E. & W.
Courtney Thompson has his saxophone and is beginning to practice with the
band.
Despite the cold weather a large number were present at Mr. Glazes sale in
Wyandotte last Wednesday. The M. E. church society furnished dinner.
The lecture given by Dr. Cole of Lafayette was enjoyed by all. It was
intensely interesting and Dr. Cole held his audience in perfect control for
over two hours. His lecture, "A Trip Through the Holy Land," was ably
illustrated by Dr. Todd of Lafayette, who used a stereopticon. The next
number of the course will be given next week on Thursday evening in the M.
E. church, Mr. Pfrimmer, the "Kankakee Poet," will recite and a rare treat
is expected.
Mrs. Wm. Burkhalter is now recovering from a severe illness.
