Mr. Agnew snug a tenor solo with a
'cello obligalo which showed that
while Mr. Agnew may shine as a rat
catcher, he is also a singer and a good
one.
The entertainment netted a very neut
sum which was turned Into the relief
fund at once,
A LIBERAL OFFER.
Herman Wise will give 10 per cent of
al cash sales during the balance of this
month to the relief of the earthquake
sufferers in California.
As Mr. Wise carrtes the largest stock
of men' and boys' goods and has all
of his goods marked ill plain figures,
you will do well to buy your goods
from Mr. Wise and indirectly help
those who are In want in California.
