A Great Demand for City Resi-
deEce and Farm Lands.

A Great Demand for City Resi-
deEce and Farm Lands.
Special to the Globe.
ROCHESTER,, Mimi, July Tn an
interview with Register of Deeds
Spencer this morning at the court
house, we learned that real estate is
on the boom in Olmsted county and
that hardly day passes that he
does not receive letters from outside
parties inquiring for farm lands to
buy. Among the sales occurring this
spring of any note, we CLEAN the fol-
lowing from the records:
612 acres in Orion township .S15, 900
l50 acres in Eyota township..... 5000
4U0 acres in Marion township. 10, 00l
$50 acres in Rochester township 5000
122 acres in High Forest township 6.1G1
1I9 acres in ElmiTa toWnsllip.... 1909
so acres in Viola toWnship........ $500
n acres i'll Cascade township. 4001
200 acres in Viola township. 5000
110 acres in tyota township. 1909
The above farms are located in differ
ent parts Of the county, and show
fair average price for good farm land
with the usual improvements on same.
There are great many sales of smaller
pieces at about the same price per acre
as the foregoing. Real estate men say
that $40 per acre is the average price
for good farm land without regard to
improvements. In the city there has
never been time in it's history when
there was a greater demand for resi-
dence property. There is a great many
new residences being erected, and a
vacant tenement house is a thing OF
the past. In an interview with a num-
Der of our business men we find that
there has been a better feeling In
business circles this spring, and while
the trade has not been large, they
have ever reason to believe that a
large fall trade will follow the harvest,
which, at the present time, never pre-
scented better appearance, with the
exception of a few places the hail re-
Gently visited. Olmsted county is the
Garden of Eden, and her people are
never heard to complain.

When the performers have sung longer to-

and more finished shading. Last night
they sang with considerable animation
and were enthusiastically applauded by a
friendly audience.

undertook to crowd the house they could
do 1t with little effort; their presence alone
would do much toward it-their following
would do it. Many say there has been too
much music all at once, and perhaps that
is true. The need seems to be some relief
SO much of 1t. Scheel gave too much Tor
the money, really, with his ample pro-
gramme, and complaisance in the matter
of encores.
But Scheel himself was conscious of the
necessity of relieving the strain of an even
ing OF music by providing something to
engage the eye as well, and at the time Mr..
Parrott made this engagement with him
was training ballet of seventy-tive girls
to perform marches and dancing to the
music.
"Now there is to be another effort, this
time in the line OF opera. The great cost
of bringing the great numbers Of high
priced people incidental to the production
of opera away out here has been bar in
that direction, for it was shown in the re-
cent effort in that direction that we have
no theater large enough to make return
of the money invested. The cost of bring

Company, orchestra and all, was estimated
at $S7 900.
lent orchestra together with a chorus in
prima donnas could be brought here and
San Francisco treat itself with grand opera
Just whenever the words might be spoken.
So there is to be a meeting next Friday
afternoon, an initiation affair, with con-
cert to go with it, to take steps in that di-
rection.
"The idea is to organize a ladies' auxil-
larry to the Metropolitan Musical Society
after the plan of some Eastern organiza-
ton, the members to pledge a certain
financial support to all good music, this
opera idea in particular. If this shall sutfi-
GENTLY materialize it will result in Mr..
Scheel and his orchestra remaining where
they .sX are;
"Mr. Scheel must acknowledge that there
are some people in San Francisco who can
work wonders in behalf of music and
don't think he will meet their equal in
many places. They are John Parrott and
others at the head of the Metropolitan
Musical Society,""
While admitting and regretting the i'll
success that has attended the later con-
certs under the direction of Mr.. Scheel,
some musical people attribute it to other
causes than lack of appreciation. They say
that Mr.. Scheels concerts called out
crowds at first and were an unqualified
success. But Mr.. Scheel required an
Interpreter for everything he said.
Concerts were given for benefits in which
no one had any interest, the bar in the
place had a tendency to prolong the waits
in order that few might satisfy thirsts,
and popularity waned in consequence I'M
til Mr.. Scheel fell into debt. With a good
business head, and managers looking after
the orchestra it is hoped and believed sue
cess will attend it.
"Why shouldn't it?'' said a member of
the society. "Scheel is better conductor
than Paner of the Boston Symphony, and
his muic is on level, if not superior, to
that organization. Their concerts are
thronged at high prices, tickets are held at
premium and speculated upon. Why
should they not be -unless-unless-
it is jay town."

that his discourses will be especially at

Mr.. Post first came here two years ago,
and his address at that time was well re-
ceived. He came again last year and was
likewise favorably regarded as the apostle
of a new political philosophy. He was
formerly a journalist and lawyer in New
York, but became ready follower of the
Henry George school of advanced ideas on
economic issues.
He is one of the most advanced thinkers
and clearest reasoners of the day." said
Joseph Leggett in discussing Mr.. Post

grand reception. He Is an extremist on
single tax questions, and believes that the

the arts and to the esthetics of life. He is

subject and leaves lasting impression on
the mind of his nearer"
Mr.. Post will enter the State by the
south and will deliver his first lecture at
Los Angeles on March 10. He will take
part in a Joint debate with Judge r. NJ.

This amount has been supplemented by
some $500 secured at Il ladies' tea given by
Mrs. Robert A. Mclean and other sums
by Mrs. Tucker until it reached about
$4,000. This sum was subscribed and
given outright and was in excess of the re-
ceipts of the concerts, but it has all, or
most of it, vanished. The salary list alone,
exclusive of that of Mr.. Scheel, amounts to
about $1100 per week. To this must be
added the rents of the Auditorium light.

where the money went. The arrangement
for Mr.. Scheel's personal services is private

Scheel can go wherever music is appre-
ciated and get his own figure, you know,

Mondays and Saturdays, admitted free
and as consequence there was a constant
series of juvenile rushes and scurries be-
tween the several pieces rendered. If the
little ones got in the way of their elders it
was accepted as part of the plan of pleasure,
and good-nature prevailed on all sides.
OF pretty women there were scores, and
the many unincumbered young men
looked right and left in semi bewilderment
at the dainty forms that met them on every
side. There was fun and amusement, and
the more sedate people looked on and
nival OF music and iollity from which criti-
cism was barred.
The various illustrations of the music
were received with wild outbursts of de-
light by the young folks, and the shrill
whistle of the omnipresent small boy often
threatened to drown the energetic efforts
of the hundred men on the stage.
The medley selection of popular songs
brought out in strong relief the ability of
the street whistler, and there were many
more Accomplishments than there were
actual musicians. But it was when the
Midwinter Fair was recalled in detail by
the screen pictures and the band that the
crowd went wild, and insisted on encore
after encore. The Turks, the dancing
girls and all the attractions of the Midway
Plaisance were shown on the screens and
recognized with delight.
The views of celebrated paintings which
brought George Washington strongly to
the front proved that patriotism was yet
strong in man, woman and child in San
Francisco. The well-known negro pictures
of the 'Darktown Events called out strong
applause, as did the next piece, which was
descriptive of General Clusters fight on the
Little Big Horn.
The piece is a splendid work and the
Indian motifs especially well brought out
1t is in parts as follows:
Sioux Indian wardance-night before the
battle. Buglecalls in Clusters camp before
forming the line of march. Clusters cavalry
on march to Siouxs camp, the sound of horses
hoofs in the distance. Approach of Clusters
cavalry with band playing "Red, White and
tomary war music. Battle of Little Big
Horn in which our great general lost his life
Arrival OF re-enforcements, General Bent1ne
and cavalry. Clusters burial, volley OF shots,
muffed drums and bugle sounding the last
calls over our great generals grave. Finale
"Nearer, My God, to Thee"
The picture of General Bentine's arrival
with aid was received with enthusiasm,
and the battle scene, when it seemed as
though all the band were firing howitzers,
was particularly strong. Call after call
showed the appreciation of the crowd.
The night alarm, showing tre-engine
rushing out of its house at the first sound
of the bell, was shown without music be-
cause the repeated encores had practically
doubled the length of the programme.
As it was, when the last march by Ron
covieri was being played the big crowd
seemed half-inclined to stay longer and
applaud until they got more music, but
the tired musicians packed up their instru-
ments and the crowd left, chatting about
the pleasant musical evening.

Detective Seymour was detailed on the

The Union for Practical Progress Spend
Profitable Evening.
The Union for Practical Progress met at
the Builders Exchange last night, and
spent the evening in considering the new
charter. Alfred Cridge was the principal
speaker. He opposed the charter because
in his opinion its great length would cause
interminable litigation before its real mean
ing was decided. A general discussion
followed, and the majority of the speakers
opposed the document, though most OF
them confessed that they had not read it
through. Among those who spoke were:
NJ. NJ. Foote, +. w. Lynch, A. D. Miese-
gaes, P. j. Healey, NJ. McGlynn. ]. M.
Reynolds, Joseph Leggett and DR.. John A.
Miller.
Pursuant to resolution, President G. G.
Terrell appointed five men to prepare ten
minute addresses upon subdivisions of the
charter. These will be delivered at the
next meeting of the club, which occurs on
the Goth inst.
F. w. Lynch and A. D. Messages were
appointed delegates to a meeting of the
Labor Council next Monday night, at
which decision for or against the charter
will be reached, and a permanent organ
ization formed to influence voters in ac-
cordance with that decision.

THE CLEMENCEAU CASE"
Successful Season at the Popular
AlcaZar Theater.

The version of "The Clemenceau Case" given
at the AlcaZar this week is q strong dra-
matization of a strong story, and large au-
dience was present at the opening performance
OF the new company. None of the salient
points of the novel have been omitted, and the
story is as strong now, even after numerous
presentations, as it was when the book was the
literary sensation of the day.
The part OF liza, around whom the story re-
wolves, was taken by Rose Stillman, whose form
is well suited 10 the part and whose acting was
acceptable.
The strongest part was that of Pierre Gle
menceau, which was very well done by Mr..
Henderson, who made quite success.
Constantine Ritz was well placed in the
hands OF Henry Gilbert, and the other parts
were fairly done.
Between the acts Miss Clara O'Brien did
some clever Juggling, and the OBrien Sisters
did new whirlwind dance nicely.
"The Clemenceau Case is to run for this
week.

Debut OF a PrOmising ORGANIZATION OF
Male Voices.
The Knickerbocker Quartet made its first
appearance at a concert given in the Maple
Hall of the Palace Hotel last night, and
had every reason to be satisfied with the
reception given it by an audience which
nearly filled the hall.
The quartet, which consists of D. NJ.
Lawrence, E. P Evans, D. B. Crane and
H. Williamson, is certainly not hampered
by lack of voice. All the performers had
powerful vocal organs and produced a
greater volume of sound than is usual in
vocal quartets, without apparent effort.
