The air gun has disappeared at the
capitol. A dog was accidentally Killed
last week, and now every empioye ex-
presses ignorance respecting the
weapon. :.
President Hill has been reported, in
newspapers scooped by the GLOBE. that
the Great Northern was not now going
to bridge the Mississippi and erect
freight wards On the West size flats.
Quite so. The Great Northern will hot
build right away, but the road will do
so ultimately. 1t was not in the inter
est of the road for Mr.. Hill, at that
time, to officially announce the lnten-
ton of the company.
1t was surprise to many of our peo-
pie who attended the Sunday concerts
given by the Danz orchestra last spring
at the Harris theater, that we really
possessed so fine an organization. Inc
idea was then suggested that more ex-
tended series of concerts be undertaken
during the fall and winter, on some
what broader basis perhaps, and under
more favorable auspices. for the pur-
pose of stimulating this already splen-
did organization to even better work,
and thus elevate the musical interests OF
the community. Negotiations resulted in
securing the full DAM orchestra OF forty
pieces for series of symphony con-
certs beginning about the first of Octo-
Der, and running every Saturday even
ing for the next six CT seven months.
BY selecting this night the management
remove the Conscientious ScrupleS OF
those who object to Sunday concerts.
They have also obtained the Peoples
church. whose perfect acoustics will
greatly enhance the artistic effects to
be produced. In securing this immense
auditorium the management also hopes
to be able to realize its wish to place
the benefits of these splendid entertain
ments within the reach of ali. by fixing
the prices of single seats at 25, so and
rs cents.
But to insure the financial success of
the enterprise and enable the manage
ment to carry out this liberal policy, it
is intended to cover the greater portion
of the expenses by the sale of subscrip-
ticn tickets. These tickets are good for
twenty-five concerts and are offered at
$40, which makes the price of single
concert only 40 cents. The tickets are
so arranged that the holder, by surren-
dering as many coupons as he wants
yeats at any time, can attend such COLI
ierts as he may specially wish to hear,
and take several friends with him if he
chooses, all by means of the same
ticket.
A subscription list which has lately
been started meets with such hearty
support from prominent musical and
society people that the success of the
enterprise seems already, assured. The
holders OF. subscription tickets will in
variably ghave first choice of seats to
each concert.
