St. Paul Globe, 21 Mar 1899.

After a successful months long run of performances in Omaha during the summer and fall of 1898, and reuniting with her father, Agnes Atherton returned to familiar stages in St. Paul & Minneapolis in the spring of 1899. She had a three week run at the Palm Garden, performing sketch comedy and singing, followed by the first week of May at Horner's Palace Museum in Minneapolis.

She then went from Minneapolis to Buffalo, New York, at appear at the Wonderland theatre in May. This kicked off several months in New York state through October 1899, where Agnes performed during the summer in Binghampton, Oswego, Buffalo and Cayuga Lake park at Geneva. Toward the end of October, she performed at the Tivoli Fountain Theater in Buffalo.

Problems in Erie County

Apparently the Deputy Sheriff in Erie County, New York complained about the vaudeville performances on 16 July 1899, forcing a "strictly sacred show" and Agnes had to perform in "street clothes" instead of her normal stage costume.
