at Saturday's result can therefore 

je imagined.

SUCCESS. 

Theatre-igoers of Quesnel were treat 

id. to a- good programme on Thursday 

evening when they taxed Occiden 

~al hall to its capacity to hear the 

concert and the Minstrel troop. The 

concert was the first part on the programme. 

Mr. Zschiedrich opened the 

joncert by giving a piano solo: "Si 

J'Etais Roi"; then Mr. Palmer followed 

wth a comic song. Miss Blan 

che Curtis sang "Why Did You Make 

Me Care" which was well received by 

he audience. Mr. Boothe came next 

with his company of 'chauffeurs' and 

feelingly sang his "Little Ford" song 

Miss Dennis made a complete hit 

with the audience when she sang 

Lieberlied." This brought forth an 

outburst of applause, so Miss Dennis 

sang "Where my Caravan has Rested 

as an encore. Mr. Donnelly is an oldtimer 

with theatre-goers of Quesnel, 

and kept bis reputation as a comic 

singer. His song brought forth out 

bursts of laughter from the audience. 

The next on the programme was Mr. 

Graham who made many friends in 

the audience by giving two vocal 

solos. Mr. Carson also rendered a 

vocal solo In his usual inimitable 

way. Messrs. Brady and Miller sang 

a duet which brought the first part 

of the programme to a close. 

Tho Minstrels occupied the whole of 

tho second part of the programme, 

and was a continuous laugh from 

start to finish. Mr. Donnelly, who had 

charge of this part, lived up to his 

eputation of being a flrBt-class stagoraanager. 

The entire proceedings went 

off without a hitch, and the lavish 

costumes were favourably commented 

upon. Of tho programme every item 

was good and well rondored, the 

hearty manner in which the jokes and 

songs were encored testified to the 

great appreciation on the part of the 

udiencc. 

Mr. Cowan proved a most efficient 

chairman. Those taking part in the 

programme were: MessrB. Brady, 

Pope, Donnelly, Carson, Boothe, A. 

Johnston, Rosel, Box, Cater, Mitchell, 

Miller, Nevu, Palmer, Lortie 

find Forsythc. 

The^dancc after tho show also proved 

another of our trenches only to b 

bayoneted to a man. After the fight 

ing was over the enemy's dead wa 

estimated at over two hundred. Pri 

spners say that there were, one nun 

dred dead lying in this trench before 

the Germans advanced and that non 

of the troops making the assault hac 

attacked before."

"Dandy D i c k " 

From whispers we hear from the 

f equent rehearsals, the play to be 

produced in aid of the local hospital, 

Dandy Dick," promises endless 

musement and laughter on the night 

if the 16th. "Dandy Dick" it seems, 

s a racehorse, whose hasty introducion, 

owing to a fire_.in his own stales, 

into those of the Deanery at "a 

ertain place," causes uproarious 

omplicatians in the household of the 

/orthy Dean. The part-owner of tht 

orse turns out to be the Dean's ow: 

ister: an ardent follower of the turf 

p whom he has offered a quiet 

:ome at the Deanery as a refuge in 

:er "chastened widowhood;" and theonsequent 

atmosphere of bels and 

ebts not only involves the revereiid 

entleman himself into making an inoluntary 

bet on the races, but also 

nto spending the night in the loca 

aol, on the charge of nobbling th 

avorite! .His subsequent rescue froir 

he custody of the police is organiz 

d by Georgina Rodman—tho afore 

a.id sister—and her "pal," Sir Tris 

ram Mardom. For this purpose sh 

hvokes-. tW -aid -of Bundry bookies 

ard sharpers and pickpockets, on the 

lea tbat the Dean—skilfully disguis 

d by having his head thrust into a 

lorse's nosebag—has been taken up 

or working the three-card trick. 

Under threat of the disclosure o f 

hese unusual proceedings, the Dean 

further compelled to forego the 

leasure of punishing either h.is two 

aughters who have been secretly at 

ending a masquerade ball under mil 

tary escort, or his butler, who is dis 

overed on the race course investing 

he savings of the cook and houseaid 

in a little "flutter." 

From this brief synopsis of the plot 

t will be seen that "Dandy Dick" afords 

plenty of scope for the versatile 

alents of the strong cast, and also 

or unlimited merriment on the part 

if the audience. 

Remember it's for the benefit of the 

ospital, and the date is Feb. 16th. 

THE 

GUILD. 

Last Tuesday evening the meeting

FUTILE RAIDS. 

and 

If the German Government felt 

that its Zeppelins were of great war 

value it would put them to large use 

against the armies of the 'Allies in 

France, Belgium, Poland and Galicia. 

It would also keep them busy over 

th s British fleet. Apparently they 

are more relied upon for the terrifying 

and killing of "women and children 

in England than for coping 

with armed forces. The recent airship 

raid upon English towns may be 

followed by others of like character. 

Whatever slaughter of civilians may 

bo effected, it is unlikely that any 

military object will be accomplished. 

Barbarous and futile though such 

raids are, the German war lords are 

shamed into committing them instead 

of shamed from committing 

them. They are goaded into doing 

something to save the fall of their 

navy. The German people are wandering 

why their navy is so backward 

in war. Something resembling a 

hostile operation on its part was 

called for, and the airships accordingly 

were sent out to drop bombs on 

the non-combatant populations of un 

fortified English towns, in order to 

raise the spirits of the German people 

and dispel some of their dissatisfaction 

with the inaction of their 

navy. For a short time an effect of 

that kind may be obtained. The

THE CARIBOO OBS^mn. fttmgÊL, *B, C., B, 1913 

LONDON, Jan. 30.—A despatch 

from Petrograd dealing with the battle 

in East Prussia, says: "The Russians 

occupied Pillkallen after a day's 

shelling. The garrison suffered heavily 

before retiring. Of a population of 6,- 

000 only 300 women and children and 

aged persons remained. Germans have 

strong defences northward of Ma-iUrian 

Lakes, in the region to Insterburg 

along Augerapp River, but t':« y are 

comparatively weak farther north to 

Tislit." 

A despatch to the Morning Post 

from Petrograd, says: "The Humans 

are steadily closing in on Insx'-'j'irg 

(East Prussia) from northeast and 

southeast. Tislit is virtually surrounded 

and the Russians thrtre »ic 

in a position to threaten the left 

wing of the Germans defending the 

line of Pillkallen-Lasdehnen. In the 

Carpathians matters are going entirely 

in favour of the Russians. An 

official government messenger reports 

serious disturbances in Hungary's 

wing owing to scarcity of provisions. 

Conditions in the Carpathians are 

such that both sides are entrenching 

themselves in snow as it is impossible 

to dig into the earth."
