Emily Soldene, and known as the soldene

The concert attractions promise to be quite as

THE MUSICAL SEASON.

The summer vacations are nearly over. The
musicians are returning to their duties again
Tho managers are already busy over their pros
pectuaes, and some have sent them out. The
preliminary work has been so far accomplished
that We can now take general outlook over the
field and see the character Of the musical hosts
advancing to storm the public pocket The IN.
dications are now that the musical season o1
1915 will be fully up to the average OF, and
perhaps more prolific in, attractions Of all kinds
than last season. There will be at least as many
musical performances ns people will find time to
attend or money to pay for.
;EOf opera there will DO four seasona,-ons OF
Italian, one Of English, ono Of opera bouffe in
French, and one Of opera bou1fe in EugGsh.

Mr. Mou1ton also sustains the explanation ad-

Mrs Woodruff and cites 1ettors and circumstances
to prove that Tilton's association with this
woman was to tho end that she might be slenced-
Mr., Moulton also testifics that Mr. Deechers
payment OF $4,000 WAS for the support of
the girl Who had become possessed OF the secret,
and the $1,000 we're given Moulton to put into
the Golden Age. with the understanding between
him and Bcecher that Tilton should mover know
the source whence it came. Moulton also saya
that this money WAS given as partial restitu-
tiou for the money which Deecher deprived Mr.
Tilton Of by forcing him out OF his positions but
that Tilton would not have taken it had he
known that it came from Bcecher. Moulton
further declares that, whenever he hintcd to TIL

money, Tilton Indignantly rejected the proposal.

Send Your Name.

We are asked why we are so particu-
lar and ''tOuchy" upon the point of hay
inc the real of the writers of COM
munications, especially when they CON
tain simply ordinary items Of news.
The reason ought to he so patent rs to
avoid the necessity Of even asking the
question. Items seemingly the most
in~oflensive, and apparently only matters
of news, may be made to conceal some
SANDER, or some malicious thrust of en-
nifty, unobserved by the editor, who is
~macquainted with the circumstances,
but plainly apparent and keenly felt by
those in the secret. We must have the
name Of tie author, 10 sccurc us against
ccnsurc or difficulty from irresponsible
communications, in case such things
should happen. While we shall al
ways carefully conceal the names OF
writers of inoirensiyc communications,
when SO desired, we shall not hesitate
to expose those who seek personal re-
vcngc or the qualification Of malice
through the medium Of 4 newspaper
communication. Simply a joke may
be intended, and often give %oilense but
often it is meant more seriously than n
joke. We shall cndcavor TO satisfy
ourself upon such points before divuig-
ing the names Of writers. Another
reason, and 4 sufficient one of Itself,
aside from the foregoing, is, that if al
editor is desired to publish the produc-
ton of another, he is entitled, as 4 mat
ter of principle, TO know who the VIII
ter is. 4 stranger might as well ex-
pect to visit in your family, eat at your
table, and sleep in your bed, for 4 week
or more. without making himself known,

The result of the school election, on

Board. There was nothing o~biectiona-

but it was a prevalent feeling that the

that the election of others would seem

WE met Phel. Brown, Of Andrew

lie looks ike the same old Phel. he was
years ago. Many Of our readers re-
member that he was for l. long time Il
zen Of this county. His father,

card OF about 200 apple trees III the
s...n9 of 1Sil, many Of which were
gGa.lcd on the native crab apple, the

Geo. w. Lucus, ESQ, and is probably
tie oldest orchard in the county to-day.
This orchard was in bearing condition
nineteen years ago, when we came to
tie county, and is still the source Of
considerable profit to its present OWL
a.. Phel. was owner of this farm for a
number OF years, but sold it finally to
squire Briggs, and moved down to the
mouth ofthe Nodaway, where he is still
living. He says they have not had a
mosquito this season. This is very re-
l.larkable, for they are generally SO nu-
mcrous that a person is compelled to
carry an infuscr along Gone Of the fiat
