A secret circular is being issued
to the farmers of the United States
by the Alliance officers asking them
to withhold their wheat from the

Sharp County Must Have

There ought to be court house

ten years sharp county has been
without court house, and in that
time has been compelled to pay out
about 500 for rent, to say nothing

by the leyying court, there is Ger.

SWEET SABBATH SOUNDS.
Two Artistic Concerts by Crack
Orchestras Yesterday.

Two Artistic Concerts by Crack
Orchestras Yesterday.
The Turner hall was filled yesterday
afternoon with a representative gather
ing of admirers of the classic in music.
The occasion was the DAM orchestra
concert, and the audience came pre-
pared to enjoy ITSELF The opening
number was Macht's 'GipSey' march,
and the execution was so spirited as to
call forth tremendous applause. The
Auher overture, la Muette de Portici,"
came next, and, like the preceding
number, it found favor with the listen
ers. The violin obligato by Frank
Danz Jr. was simply superb
in its intensity of expression and
delicate shading. The solo was
given by request, and Mr.. Danz added
ecution. lie was recalled, and re-
sponded to the plaudits with an original
composition which was very pleasing.
A selection from the ballet ''Feramore''
was also accorded an enthusiastic recep-
ton, and the concert closed with Gross
mans "CZardos' for strings. The ell
tertainment was of a high order of
artistic merit throughout. and Prof.
DAM succeeded in adding another
jewel to his crown.
+
Paul Martins new hall on the West
side was crowded yesterday afternoon
with an audience comprising lovers of
good music from all quarters Of the city.
The attraction was the Seibert OrcheS-
trail concert, and a very excellent EN-
tertanment 1t was. The programme
opened with Mueller's favorite march,
l. &I,,1 r.i, oI,nr
acteristic spirit by the full orchestra.
''Dchter und Bauer" (Suppe), which
was artistically rendered, and gained a
hearty recognition from the listeners.
Miss Elsa Berg, the talented German
sopraniste, sang with fine expression
and pathos the solo dear Heart"
Miss Berg's voice betrays the re-
suit of careful training and long
study OF correct method. Fault
has been found with her enunciatiOn,
but her performance yesterday pre-
scented no opportunity for adverse criti-
cism in that or any other particular.
Schreiner's extraordinary composition,
"Around the World in Fifteen Min
uteS." was greeted with the widest en-
thusiasm. The audience was one of
mixed nationality, and the familiar airs
of the German fatherland round scarcely
greater favor than the rollicking high
land music which appealed directly to
the patriotism of the brau Scots in the
house. The national airs of all coun-
tries were given. and each met
with favor from those to whom
they were familiar, as was
yankee DOODLE to the home contin-
gent. Then came Prof. WuerZ's aboe
solo Concerto" Certainly there has
been heard in st. Paul no equal of Prof.
Wuerz in the playing of his favorite in
strument. Miss Berg sang another solo
Hast du Men Siel" in a manner which
in no wise detracted from the iaurels
she had already earned, and very eX-
ceIlent programme closed with selec-
ton from Sullivan's "Gondoliers."
Next Sundays concert will be held at
the Turner hall.

man who appeals to his reasoning facul-:
ties will by and by be called to witness
q conclusion OF the whole matter that
he is
Not Prepared to Accept.
This, believe, to be the exact result
that will come from the arehbishop's
sermon. The archbishop and Cardinal
Gibbons are to-day planting ideas that
will either revolutioniZe the church
from within or turn hundreds of its fol-
lowers away from its doors. In either
case they will do great deal of good.
The Catholic church to hold its own
must become new institution.
| will be allowed, on my own part. to
say that in my opinion the ideas of a
universal religion liein the teachings of
Christianity. Humanity, no matter
whether you find it in the women who
gathered around Mungo Park, in the
swllds of Africa, or in the Eskimo women
who surrounded and relieved Ledyard

I, is simply humanity: and is the same as
that of the church dignitary. The love

saint that ever recorded her visions of
heaven. The command, What does the
Lord require of thee? to do justly, to
love mercy and to walk humbly before
thy God, is not confined to any church !;
1t is universal. More and more we
shall come to look to purity, and rev.
erence, and humanity in all institu-
tions; more and more we shall come to
believe i'll right living as the one thing
needful, and those who do not lead to
such a conclusion will be obliged to fol-

AN ATHLETIC SUICIDE,
But Boyish Interference Saves Her
Life in the Nick of Time.

But Boyish Interference Saves Her
Life in the Nick of Time.
Annie Malcomb. domestic at the
home of George Palmer, $40 Dale street,
attempted to end her earthly existence
last night. Evidently she is not well up
in the art of suicide, for she attempted
to kill herself in very peculiar and
quite impossible manner. She went to
the barn and there found a rope hang
ing through pulley wheel at the hay
NOW window. Both ends of the rope
almost touched the ground in
the alley. She tied one end Of
the rope rather tightly around
her neck and then taking hold of the
other end pulled herself into the air
until her head almost touched the pulley
wheel. She was hanging in this posi-
ton when discovered by several boys
who were playing in neighborng
barn. AS soon as they saw the girl
hanging in the air they hurried to Mr..
Palmer's house and told HIM of what
they had seen. Mr.. Palmer rushed to
the barn, but when he arrived there he
found the girl lying on the ground in
the alley She had lost her grip
on the rope and of course it
slipped over the wheel and dropped her
to the ground. When picked up the
girl was black in the face from Strangu-
lation, but life was by no means eX-
tinct. She was carried into the house
and quickly resuscitated. Her most
serious injury is severe Sprain OF the
right limb, sustained by reason of her
fall to the ground. Had she not fallen
into bank Of snow it is quite probable
that she would have been fatally in
jured. Annie has no relatives in st.
Paul, and, as she refuses to talk about
the matter, her reason for attempting
suicide is unknown. She came to St.

DESERTED HIS WIFE.
Mrs. Charles johnson Mourning

Mrs. Charles johnson Mourning
Her Husbands Strange De-
parture.
Charles Johnson, laboring man who
has been employed during the winter
months in cutting ice on the river, is
missing. Johnson lives at 294 Utah
street. He has not been seen since last
Monday, when he, in company with
fellow workmen. attended the Olympic
theater in the evening. Andrew Ole
son, q teamster, who was with the
party, stated last evening to repre-
sentative of the GLOBE that, after they
left the theater Monday night the crowd
separated and he walked with Johnson
far as the corner of Seventh and Robert
streets. There they parted, Johnson say
ing he would go to bed. So far as can
be discovered, that was the last
seen of him. A little over
a week ago, Mrs. Johnson, with her two
children, went to Red Wing on visit to
her parents, who reside there. The
house was locked up. and Johnson went
to board with family on Bradley street.
Yesterday Mrs. Johnson came to the
city with her father, and the two pro-
ceeded to Johnson's boarding place.
where it was found that he had not been
seen since the supper hour last Monday.
They then went to the house on the
West side. and the missing man had
evidently not been there. The most
dilIgent inquiry failed to elicit any
thing as to Johnson's whereabouts,
his friends asserting that they
thought he had gone to Red
Wing to join his wife there. Andrew
OleSon, who was with johnson on Mon
day night, told the reporter that john
son showed him 1925 i'll bills, and re-
marked that he could live two years on
that amount in Stockholm. He also
asked Oleson to go to Sweden with him,
but the latter, regarding the proposition
as 4 joke, made no reply. OleSon says
that johnson was under the influence OF
liquor at the time of the conversation.
Mrs. Johnson says that her husband has
frequently urged her to return with
him to Sweden, but she did not
wish to go as her parents
resided here, and she herself was born
in this country. She refuses to believe
herself deserted, rather inclining to the
belief that her husband has been de-
tanned in Minneapolis, to which city he
paid almost weekly visits. The wife
says that more than half the money
johnson had with him was earned by
her labor, in washing and working out.
They had been saving to buy a team OF
horses. People who know johnson eX-
press belief that he has deliberately
deserted his wife and children, and
gone to Sweden. Mrs. johnson will APP
ply to-the police for assistance to-day.
and inquiries will be made IN Minneap-
oils after the absent johnson.
