Leap Year Ball.

A most fitting close to the winter
dancing season at Concordia Opera
house was the leap year ball given by
the ladies Of the Concordia society last
Thursday evening. All the details had
been happily arranged and their sue
cessful consummation left nothing
wanting for most ENJOYABLE affair.
Herein was the efficiency of the COM
mittee in charge displayed, and, in
fact, this very appropriate quality
seemed to be impaired to all the ladies
present, for they performed the honors
of the evening with much grace and in
a highly acceptable manner to the men,
who expressed the hope that this
might not be the last affair of it's kind
given the present leap year. There
were over fifty couples in attendance,
and all stayed until late hour to enjoy
the unique features and the pleasures
of the occasion. Hardege's orchestra
furnished the music and Paul Thorn
prompted. An excellent supper was
served in the dining hall, which was
prettily decorated and the tables lit by
candlelabra.

Two Years for Tandv.

The trial Of the famous Tandv case
came to an end in the circuit court at
Jefferson last Friday afternoon, when
the jury rendered verdict of guilty
and Judge Bennett sentenced the pris-
oner to two years at hard labor in the
state prison. The charge was embezzle-
ment. In the spring of 1898 Tandy be-
gan operations at Waterloo as builder
and contractor. He was entrusted with
a sum of money by Mrs Mary l..
Smith, of that village, with which to
erect a house for her. After paving
only portion of the bills incurred
Tandy skipped with the balance of the
funds, and it was long time before he
could be brought to justice. He is a
young man of considerable ability and
talent and has followed various voca-
tions, among them that of an editor.
He has almost invariably, however,
used his attainments IN the wrong way.
Over 100 witnesses were on the case
and it is estimated the trial cost the
county 81 900. District Attorney Ryder
was assisted III the prosecution by
Frank Hall, of Madison. W. H. Por-
ter, of Jefferson, defended, by appoint
ment Of the court.

"Shamrock and Rose"

The members of st. Bernard's Dra-
matte society may well congratulate
themselves upon the entire success
which attended their presentation of
the Irish drama, "Shamrock and
Rose," at Concordia Opera house,
last Friday and Saturday evenings.
The players, in each particular charac-
ter, were happily cast, and under the
tutelage of their able director, Rev.
Father Coleman, had been brought
to pleasing familiarity with their lines
and correct understanding of the dra-
mas action. The plot of the play has
to do with IreIand's political troubles
in 1898. and many stirring scenes are
enacted. The characters are strongly

to life. Where all did so creditably it
is hardly just to discriminate, but per-
haps we may be pardoned for especial
ly mentioning the work of w. J. Stacy,
Thomas Ryan and Miss Mamie Stacy,
all OF whom were unusually apt and
earnest in their efforts, displaying ex
cellent histrionic ability. The scene
where Nano Desmond Miss Stacy
implores her lover Douglass (Mr.
Ryan, to prevent the hanging of her
brother. we considered the most inter-
esting and emotional of the play, and
both parties were entirely equal to the
demands Of the moment. To lend
additional interest to the entertain
ment, Miss Lizzie Brooks very feeling

rock and Rose," and little Irene Sta
pleton danced "Grandma's Minuet" in
most pretty manner. Miss Ella Rogan
presided at the piano with her usual
taste and skill. The cast was as follows:

Why do we hear SO little about the

ers, boys and girls. yes, and grown
people, too, | wonder. know that there
IS money in it. For several years past
l have kept an accurate account of eV-
erything raised and sold from our gar
den. and know just what article bring
in the most money. says j. X. Moore III
the Practical Farmer. We plant
Queens golden popcorn. and find ii pro
life, while the ears and kernels are
extra large. The corn when popped is
Il beautiful. delicious cream color. The
Shelled corn sells at 1 cents per pound
here, which is at the rate of $2.40 per
bushel. But we do not prefer selling it
in that way. \ pound of the shelled
popcorn nicely popped makes nine
quarts of popped corn. and Il bushel
consequently would make $40 quarts.
We use Mrs. Rorer's recipe-dressinS
the freShly-pOpped corn with little
melted butter, stirring the corn while
pouring it on. and then dusting light
ly with little fine salt (Just try
some and be convinced that it is deli
ciouS.) We sell the corn prepared thus,
direct to consumers at > cents per
quart, ut curbstone market in our
nearest town. Does not S21 pay well

products are profitable with us. and |

We urge parents 10 consider the pro-
