BOSTONIAN M INSTREL MAIDS A R E COMING ( )ne of the most pretentious mu sical organizations on the road this season is the Itostonian min strel maids, who are to appear at the opera house Saturday evening Oct. 3rd. This company is unique in as much as it is composed eu tirely o f young ladies of refine ntent, endowed with beauty, wit and vocal talent who give one of the cleanest entertainments of the season. The iierformance opeus with an old time minstrel first part introducing all the latest song hits, local illusions, pretty dances, all brilliautly lighted hv electrical ef fects. After one solid hour of the heartiest forms of enjoyment there will be an intermission of ten minutes to allow the performers to change their attire, then the cur tain rises on the real fun. A mu sical comedy in one act, entitled “ llarrigan’s Holiday,” some of the young ladies will portray the male characters which will more than be surprising to the audience. BUILDING ACTIVITY CONTINUES. As the season nears a close there is a grand rush to complete con templated improvements, and car penters are therefore at a premium. The latest improvements coming to our notice are: A neat, new cottage for Chas. McKibbeu on Taylor street. A large addition to the home of Mrs. Spray in the south part of town. A large, new addition to George Teeter’s home in south Cottage Grove. A remodeled and attractive home for Thomas Pearce on Taylor street, W ill Hart con tractor. A new home for Mr. Monroe on his tract in the Jones addition. A new modern cottage with six foot basement, also new barn for W . B. Cooiier on the elevated lots adjoining liis swimming pool and skating rink on Fourth street. Mr. Mee, a sawyer in one of the Pass creek mills, is building a large and very atttactive addition to his home on I'ourth street. Chas. I.avene has a neat cottage nearly completed on his acre tract on west Wall street. Merchant W . C. Johnson has his commodious new bungalo nearly ready for occupancy on his lots in the orchard tract in the north part of town. Harry K. Metcalf put a force of carpenters to work Wednesday, completely overhauling and re modeling his residence on Wall street, which will be greatly en larged and modernized. The lieautiful new modern cot tage home of Conductor V. C. London on Railroad avenue is nearing completion. It will l>e supplied with hot and cold water in all of its apartments and will have all modern conveniences. Over a score of the very latest song numliers will lie introduced and the music is very tuneful and of the kind one is apt to hear whistled on the streets for many moons to come. As a unique at traction, which deserves the liber al patronage of the public, it would be hard to find another to equal it. Secure seats early as they have the reputation for en joying large attendance wherever they appear. They are playing Ku gene at dollar prices hut Manager Johnson has arranged for 35 and 50 ceut prices here. Take advan tage of this. PHOTOGRAPH =1 N= Best $4.00 Shoes now $3.00.
