THE ‘‘MIKADO” BE HERE TONIGHT
STORY OF THE OPERA TO BE SUNG
TONIGHT AT RED MEN’S HALL
Accordng to a decree of the Mi
kado. anyone who was caught flirt
ing was condemned to be beheaded,
and Ko Ko, a cheap tailor was the
first one to receive such a sentence
but he was reprieved and appointed
Lord High Executioner, as being
first on the list he must execute
himself before he ^could kilj any
one else- Rather than serve with
so common a person as Ko Ko, all
the high officers of state resigned
1 their positions were all filled
o. b Bah, a very conceited and
pon.,!.;ua nobleman.
Nanki Poo, son of the Mikado,
rather than marry Katisha. an un
attractive spinster of his fathers j
court, left home and assuming a
disguise of a strolling minstrel- j
joined a band, where lie met anc |
loved Yum Yum, ward of Ko Ko,
but they were unable to marry be
cause she was betrothed to her
guardian Ko Ko. Nanki Poo re
solved to commit suicide but was
prevented by Ko Ko, who agreed
to let him many Yum Yum if at
the end of a month he would be
beheaded and thi s ensure Ko Ko’s
continuance in t’ie office of Lord
High Executioner.
On hearing that the Mikado was
about to visit the city, Ko Ko and
Pooh Bah agreed to tell the Mi
kado the execution had taken place
and their story was verified by
Pitti Sing, a sis er of Yum Yum.
But instead of coming to see ii
an executon had taken place, the
Mikado had come in search of his
son, and on learning Nanki Poo
had just been beheaded he planned
the punishment of the offenders,
but just at this time Nanki Poo
and his bride come in, and all ends
happily with general rejoicing

ago that her brother, Algat

tle for Alaska, and having
heard nothing of him since, she
wrote the captain inclosing
money for an advertisement to
discover the whereabouts of her
brother. She says that he was
born at Troll hattan, Sweden.
September 28, 1881, hut that lie

BACCALAUREATE
SERVICE WELL
ATTENDED
St- Jphnls church was filled with
a large congregation last evening
at the Baccalaureate service for "the
graduating class of the Ketchikan
High School, Rev. Harold Kelley
officiating at the beautiful episcopal
service, while the full vested church
choir rendered the musical program
contributing an anthem of great
beauty for the occassion
Rev. H. VV. Michener preached
the Baccalaurate sermon, which was
especially appropriate and inspiring
to the class. His theme was lofty
and well delivered.
Mrr- Osborne Williams, director of
the Methodist choir, contributed a
solo, well suited to his noble quality
of voice and sustaining power.
As announced by Rev. Kelly, the
offering was taken for the benefit
of the schools, to be used for the
purchase of books or pictures.
There is much to commend in
these union services, and the broad
and liberal .minded realize the bene
ficial influence which radiates from
them.

WAS A BIG SUCCESS
The sale of “goodies” held at
the Tongass store last Saturday
afternoon, for the benefit of the
hospital, was a very successful one
indeed, and the Draper Club is to
be commended for this worthy en
terprise. The sum of $54-85 was
realized from the sale, and will be
turned over to the hospital, to help
defray general expenses
The members of the Draper Club
wish to extend their thanks to the
many ladies who contributed to the
supply of “goodies” and also to all
those who helped to make the sale
such a success.
