AUDIENCE WAS PLEASED
McMinnville Woodman Minstrels
Gave Enjoyable Performance
at City Hall.
The McMinnville Woodmen give a
good show. This is the unanimous
verdict of all who attended the rain
strel performance given by the mem
bers of McMinnville Camp, No. 229,
at the City, Hall, Tuesday evening,
Owing to a heavy downpour of rain,
the attendance was not as large as it
would have been under more favorable
conditions, the hall being only com
fortably filled. The performance was
far superior to those usually given by
the traveling minstrel companies that
visit the interior towns, and the work
of some of the boys, notably that of
Dave Doty, Dr. H. L. Toney. and
Elmer Cummins, was decidedly clever.
If Mr. Doty has not had experience in
professional minstrel work, the Ob
server misses its guess. He has the
easy stage presence of the veteran
performer, and is a fun-maker of rare
ability. His song, "I'm So Tired
o'Livin'," was the hit of the evening
Elmer Cummins did a neat turn on
the slack wire, and was rewarded by
liberal applause. Dr. H. L. Toney
surprised and delighted the audience
by his performance on the flying
rings. The Doctor is a powerful
athlete, and during his student days
at the University of Michigan was the
champion performer on the flying
rings and horizontal bars. The at
tractive features of his work are the
graceful manner and apparent ease
with which he performs the most diffi
cult feats. The Woodman Quartet
Dell Wheeler, Will Logan, Dell War
ren arjd Dave Doty, were received
with much favor, and were compelled
to respond to two encores. Dan Feely,
the well-knowa. band and orchestra
leader, wielded the baton in the
musical numbers. Harry Connoway,
a former Dallas boy, and Miss May
Kennedy, recently of Independence,
were members of the orchestra.
Read all the holiday ads.

the City Hall tomorrow night.

viae yesterday, aged about 60 years,
Mrs. Cowles was a member of the
Bewley family at Sheridan, and was

Tuesday morning, the Independence

put a crew of ten men to work on the
Sidney water-power ditch. When the
channel is deepened, it is supposed
there will be plenty of water for all
purposes. As a necessary precaution,
additional machinery has been order
ed to be placed in Independence, so in
case of an accident to the power de
rived from that source, immediate
connection can be made in town.

brought through with his skillful
treatment and knowledge. The people
