Big Feature Attraction Next Wednes day Really Stuniilnu- Number. ' Seats will be on sale tomorrow morning at Van Buren'B for Connau ghat'a Bugle Band, one of the leading attractions coming here this winter. The flrst half is given over to straight music with vocal artists to aid the band. The program Is closed with one of the most ambitious pictures ever put upon the stage. The scene Is laid in the trenches of tbe British forces at Inkermann, the fiercest engagement fought during the long and bloody Crimean campaign of 1854. An attack by the Russians is repulsed in a tre mendously strong engagement, which finally reaches the hand-tohand per iod as the curtain falls on the scene with the Union Jack waving over the ramparts to the accompanlent of the British cheers of victory.

TMIMEO COM SUPERS "Flora's Elopement," Big Success. To say that the opening night of "Flora's Elopement" was a big event is expressing it mildly. A bright comedy with a Jingly mus ical iiiiale, this bill pleases all who like to laugh and you know, the lit tle rhyme , Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone, Thats why tragedians go borrowing, While commedians have money to loan.
