him be in charge of the music and
that is a sufficient guarantee within
itself to insure success.

we were going to have regular

ed its strength it parted, going up
the Ohio and up the Kanawka, and
in in both valleys it was very severe
and did much damage.

The CoNcERT-The Choral So
ciety's first Concert came of last
Wednesday evening, according to
advertisement, aud we congratulate
them upon their artistic success.
The scene, as we saw it from the
audience, was lovely indeed. The
stage was brilliantly lighted; the
ladies werelooling their best. charm
ingly dressed, and with pro-
fusion Of flowers; and when their
conductor with his new baton, pre-
scented to him by the society few
weeks ago on his birthday, sounded
the little trap, rap" that means so
much to musicians, and gave them
the signal to rise. all rose to their
feet as one body. The organ sound
ed the chord; the conductor moved
his baton; and then what a burst of
harmony came from those twenty
five or thirty singersl And how
perfectly they followed the batonl
1t was especially noticeable too,
that we could hear the words of all
the songs, which can hardly be
said of any chorus singing. Every
piece was well rendered.
But there was one thing lacking
to make the occasion entirely en-
joyable; there were so few to hear
the music; and every one knows
that to speak or sing to empty
benches is discourageing work. We
understand it was intended in this
first concert, only to show their
friends what they had been doing,
and as they have thus far devoted
their time exclusively to chorus
work, they gave "chorus concert"
As SO few of their friends turned
out to hear them sing, the inference
would naturally be that they are
not interested in their progress.
What the future course of this
society will be, we can have no
means of knowing. 1t is expensive
to buy an organ, hire room in
which to practice, and fit it up with
chairs and light and heat it, and
have it taken care of; buy new books
and music; all this is continual
draw on their pockets. They have
responded with elacrity to all re-
quests to sing, and their performance
certainly has been a noticeable fea-
ture of the occasion on which they
have appeared. Now, when they
give concert, expecting to get
little money to help towards fitting
up their hall, paying rents, and etc,
the people whom they have helped,
at their request, almost every one
quietly stayed away, and they bare
Iy made expenses by having the
court house free, and doing all the
work of building stage, moving
chairs, and etc. themselves.
We are sorry for this. An or
ganization like thisis handy to have
in a town, to sing on decoration
days, dedication of lodges, mission
airy meetings, or other gatherings;
but-if their efforts are not appreci-
ated enough for our people to turn
out to their concerts, they will
scarcely care to give their services
when called upon at other times.
We hope however, they will not be
discouraged, but go on with their
studies, believing that they will
have abetter luck the next time"

Prof Virgil A. Lewis, Principal
of the Mason City Schools, is can
didate before the State Democratic
Nominating Convention, for the
office of State Superintendent of
Schools. AS a scholar and writer,
he is the peer of any man in the
State, and as historian has a Ma
tional reputation. In addition he
is a practical teacher Of many years
experience, and no one in the State
is more familiar with our school
system than he. Should he be
nominated he will be triumphantly
elected.
On Monday morning several
roughs who were arrested Saturday
night, by Officers Hoover and
Hughes and lodged in Jail, for disor=

befoer the Mayor, who after hearing
the evidence, assessed a fine of $40
and costs on one, and So and costs on
the other. The other fellows were
let off as the evidence would not
warrant their CONVICTION. The par
ties fined were named Vance and
sisson, who lately came here from
Ohio. We hope this will learn them
a lesson.

A NUrsANcE.-A lady friend sends
in request which can best be voiced
by using her own language which
is as follows:
elf. Edttor.-A lady wants to
say few words to the Grocery
Merchants, and really it is deli
cate subject to handle. You know
it is now the time when our grocery
men set their vegetables outside on
the pavement, and do you know
there are many tall dogs in town,
and-and it operates as though they
drank from Saratoga Medical
Springs. Now, MIR. Editor, you
must know what / mean to say, and
if you will help me out you will do
the public great favor. What we
want is the vegetables in boxes, or,
in other words, tabove high water
mark. For the good of the woman
and mankind, the grocers will please
attend to it. Those wire screens
they use over baskets and barrels
are not twatertight.' This is a del
icate matter, but you know, when
lady goes shopping for cabbage and
beets she doesn't like to be obliged
to get peas also. Please put it in
shape so as to offend nobody.

The location of the Cincinnati
Centennial Buildings could not be
improved upon in any manner.
The main buildings occupies Wash
ington Park, and another spans the
canal from Twelfth to Fifteenth
streets. In addition, these build
ings are connected with Music Hall,
situated between them.
They are within ten to fifteen min
utes' walk from any portion of the
main part of the city, accessible
either by street car lines or by the
numerous other conveyances.
They are IN easy reach of the ho-
tells and depots, and very comfor
table lodgings may be secured in
the immediate neighborhood of the
Exposition grounds.
The inconvenience of crowded
cars, or of tedious waiting for con-
veyances, is thus reduced to a
minimum.

Labor Saving Machinery.
United labor Ase


The machine comes and the
workman goes. Capital reaps all
the benefit OF the machine. Our
productive power may have in
creased many fold, but the condi-
ton OF the wage-worker remains
much the same from century to
century. 1t is true that he is a
little better off, but very little,
considering our increased power
to produce. Then think of those
whom machinery disinherits; those
who are thrown out in the cold
without employment. The ma
chine is a good thing, but it should
be the servant of man, and not
his master. 1t should tighten the
employment of all, but it should
disemploy none. This is the only
stand the humanitarian can take
in this matter. To-day the ques-
ton of machinery is the most
formidable of all questions facing
the reformer. 1t is in a great
measure the labor question. The
