Decision Of Importance in a Railroad
Indemnity Case.
FARGO. N. D.. Sept. 2S.-An import.
ant decision has been received by the
local land Office on some valuable land
in this county that has been farmed for
10 years. The land is an even num-.
bered section taken by the Northern
Pacific Railroad company as indemnity.
It was purchased from the county
and has passed through half a dozen
hands. The title was supposed to be
clear until about a year ago, when it
was contested. The general land Office
has registered a decision that even
numbered sections cannot be selected
as indemnity land. and holds the sec.
tion in question for cancellation. If
this ruling is sustained the contestants
will file. There are hundreds of farms
in North Dakota that will be affected
by this decision.

MUSICAL MENTION
JOHN RANDOLPH

Paderewski has just sailed for his
home in Paris taking with him nearly
two hundred thousand dollars of good
American moLey-preeumabIy on gold
basis. The enormous sum Of two hun
dred and forty-seven thousand dollars
represents the actual receipts Of HE
three months tour in this country. The
travelling expenses are comparatively
small for Paderewski furnishes the
whole entertainment without the assis-
lance OF vocalist or violinist. When he
plays with orchestra it lie with an or
ganizstion like the Boston Symphony
or the band OF Theodore Thomas per-
manantly located in some city. Of
course he carried with him private Sec
Rotary and manager besides his grand
pianoforte, but il will be seen that these
entail comparatively small expense Even
Madame Patti must carry an orchestra
and other singers; Bernhardt and Duse
and Irving represent hundreds Of peo-

must be some ground for the statement
that Paderewski is q hypnotist OF won.
derful power, who mesmerizes his audi
ences. So far only one man has been
heard from who is dissatisfied with the
entertainment" given by Paderewski.
He lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and
declared the show a failure because
there were not at least fiddle or two
and q singer to help out. He was
promptly refunded his money.
The hot weather is making the labor
OF musician and even OF the inferior art
OF the musical critic not an easy one.
On Sunday afternoon, May 3, the Hage-
now quartet gave their usual concert
before rather small audience. Wieni-
awslki's 'Legende" for violin solo was
played by Miss Ina Ensign with smooth
ness and beauty of tone, and an apparent
nervousness was probably responsible
for occasional deviation from pitch or
uncertainty OF delivery. II this young
player can develop temperament as
readily as she has acquired technique
and tone she may 60 far. At present
her power Of artistic expression is
somewhat limited. The vocal soloist OF
the day. Mrs. E. Lewis Baker, sang an
air from I'll Corsara" Of Verdi-presum-
ably an early work. for l am not &C.
