DAILY JOURNAL, Coffeyville, Kansas-The concert last night was as delightful and as thoroughly enjoyable as any Coffeyville peo-ple have ever heard. There were three distinct features in the concert, the quintette, the harpist and the banjoist. And every one of the three manifested the most wonderful skill on their in¬struments and wrought effects almost unheard of.     Their music is certainly entrancing.
