lust why men who must feel satisfied
that they canno. be elected should worry
over little things is beyond comprehen-
sion. This is just What the candidates
on the republican county ticket aro do
ing. They are about town bellyachine
about the manner in which fusion was
accomplished. The people Of ibis coun-
ty know that it waa accomplished in an
honorable manner, aud that ii is fusion
that fused and that all the Candidates
will be elected. If they were true 10
Themselves the republicans would ad-
nit this. Instead Of doing so they are
paving the way to excuse or account for
their certain defeat by accusing each
other of swapping and trading and of
travelling under false preteneee on the
financial question. The gentlemen are
in pitiable plight. Burnt brandy
won't save them.

A City OF kress-Companies Very
Uneasy Because There Are
No Lights.

Now that winter approaches, with it's
long, dark nights, there is great deal
OF dissatisfaction expressed on the part
OF the public over the fact that the city
is totally without electric light on its
streets. To make the matter worse
there seems to be little present probabil-
ity of getting the street lights started
again. The Boston officers of the cleo
trio light company are, riding a high
horse in tho matter, feeling that they
were not used right by the city at the
time the lights were ordered discontin-
ued, ard decline to make any PROPOSE.
ton to the city for resuming the service.
They say that if the city wants street
lights, they are ready to consider any
proposition made them. Here the mat
ter rests, with little likelihood of any
thing further being done in the matter.
Meantime another phase of the situa-
| ton has developed, which will prove of
| interest to all business men in the city
A leading insurance agent of this city
Wednesday received letter from one Of
the head officers Of the insurance board
in San Francisco, which reads us follows:
| SAN Francisco, Cal, Oct, 3, 1896.
Mr. ..........., Great Falls, Mont.
| My Dear Sir: | am advised that the
city of Great Falls is without lights for
its streets. [ would be pleased with a
line from you advising me of the true
situation Ii your streets are not lighted
1t affords such d good opportunity for in
cendiarism that the insurance companies
are likely to take the matter up and in
sist on material increase of rates.
frankly admit that | shall feel very
uneasy, having regard for the interests
of my companies, it something is not
done soon to light the city.
a word from you at an early date on
this very Important matter will greatly
obligo, Yours, etc,
The insurance agent, vino received the
above, declined to allow The TRIBUNE
reporter to print the signature attached
as the letter was private, but it is evi
dent that unless something is done to Sc
cure street lights, property owners will
be called on to pay in increased premi-
ums as much as the lights would cost
1t is to be hoped that both the electric
light company and the city council will
get through the "dignity" role and make
some arrangement soon which will Sc
| cure street lights.

AAC Japanese Enterta1nme chit.
The Social Union and Epworth League,
the two vigorous organizations of the
Methodist church gave a delightfully."-
unique entertainment at the Auditorium
on Friday evening last. Supper was
served from six to eight o'clock, and it
was bounteous eve. The table attend
ants were dressed in Japanese costume,
giving a brilliant dash of color to the
feast. Following the supper Japanese
entertainment was provided. The pref
ty little hall was decorated with light
and airy Japanese creations, such as
fans, parasols, screens, tapestries, en-
broideries. pottery, toys-in fact the at
mosphere OF the place was d1stinctivelv
oriental.
Mr.. Squier, pastor ofthe church, made
an address of welcome in the Japanese
language, which he subsequently inter
preted. Mr.. and Mrs. Squier gave sew
.eral selections, of Japanese music and
both are excellent vocalists so the audi
ence had the benefit OF the music in it's
best estate. A Japanese high life we'd
ding was Illustrated with accurate fdel-
ity in detail, and aside from the pleasure
incident to the ceremony itself, it was
a valuable lesson.
Among the curious was valuable
pelce of pictured embroidery of the fif-
teenth century. 1t was interesting alike
from its execution and it's size.
At the close of the entertainment q
quantity of articles from Japan were
sold. 1t was altogether, a delightful
evening, the only drawback being the
fact that the ceremonious wedding was
conducted while the party was seated
on the stage-too low for most of the
audience to get more than disconnected
Chances at it. 1t will probably be re-
peated at the Grand Opera House soon.
where all will be able to see. The enter.
tainment Melted about fifty dollars.

Remeuvi.


The great violinist, perhaps the great
est living, gave delightful concert at
the Opera House on Monday evening.
lhe house was well filled with delight
ful audience. To most of them his per
formances were regulation of the
possibilities of the instrument: There
was peculiar something in every note
and tone evolved which showed the
hand OF the master. From the harsh,
strIdend imitation of the bag pipe to the
liquid and fading notes ofa drear set to
melody-throughout the EXTREMIST
range-it was all one to hint was
perfection. And he played as though it
were no labor, or rather a past time of
love. Words are inadequate to convey
any idea of the delights of his perform
ante. He responded with the utmost
good nature to every en- core. and the
conclusion of the programme found his
audience spellbound and 10th to leave
the hall.
He was well supported by Miss Stien,
a soprano, Miss Roman, fine pianist
and Mr.. Davis baritone. All were
excellent, superior artists, in their sew
eral lines. The concert was the most
artistic ever given in this city, and the
Knights OF Pythias are entitled to graft
tude for giving our citizens the oppor-
tunity OF such enjoyment.
Mrs. Susan Hunter, mother of Mrs.
Arthur o. Hubbard, died in Minneapolis
on Thursday last, and her remains were
taken to St. Cloud for burial on Satur-
day last. Mrs. Hunter was resident
of this city for several years, and had
hosts of friends here who will be grieved
to learn of her death.

The hand Concert.


The concert by the Sank Centre Brass
Bend on Friday evening was all things
considered, the most neritorious so far
as execution was concerned, ever given
by the band. There was not as much
variety in the programme as usual, but
the selections were rendered admirably.
The band shows thorough training UNI
der Mr.. Simonton, and he is entitled to
great deal of credit for the proficiency
shown by the several parts. All that
was lacking was little more of the so
called popular airs. The Anvil chorus
was the only selection of this class, and
it was thoroughly ENJOYABLE. The over
ture. Tampa" by F. Herold was a
masterpiece of execution, as was also the
Gillian dance, in fact, everv number was
heartily applauded. as it deserved to be.
Messrs Gaus and QuigIy, bangoist and
guitarist. respectively, added greatly to
the pleasure of the evening. They are
accomplished players and were repeat
eddy encored.
But there was one disagreeable feat
ure OF the concert-the large number of
empty seats. The boys did not deserve
it. In fact they gave concert which
was well worth the admission price
twice over, and it was discouraging to
play to so many vacant chairs. If our
70 IL
standard reached by this one. they must
give it substantial encouragement. The
city needs brass baud-must have one
and the way to have it, and a good
one, is to give it liberal patronage. It
is the only method it has of making
money for its current expenses, and it is
only Just that it realizes a sufficient sum
for its needs.
