MADE A HIT IN ..VELIDA."
Concordia Society Gave Pretty
Opera a Fine Rendition.

opera Il FINE HenGlff0Rl.
The performance of Penclues' beautiful
opera, ''Velida,'' by the Concordia society
did full honor to request performance, -
judging from the very large crowd in at
tendance.
Every seat in Mozart hall was filled, and
nothing but standing room was left. The
society far surpassed the former production,
and was very well appreciated by the large
audience present.
The opera is a gem of musical melody
which includes duets, trios and several very
fine ensemble choruses The plot centers
around Velida, the lost daughter of an old
dered. Nelida was left with an old wine
peasant, who raises her, and she is led to
believe thereby that he is her rightful faith
er. In the last act DR.. Walther, who is
charged with having murdered the old
count. in searching for evidence to clear
himself Of the charge, discovers the secret
and restores Velida to her brother Count
Curan, and afterwards beats his rival and
wins Velida'S hand
Miss Bertha Enderlin in the part Of Velida
gave an admirable rendition of the part
She was in excellent voice, and pleased her
most ardent admirers. The duet in the first
act between Velida and DR.. Walther, i'm
personated by Otto Rohland was one of the

WHY'D MODERATED YESTERDAY
AND BLIZZARD WAS AZ A. END
Trains From the soufh and East
Were Delayed Several Hours by
the DrIfjs-LocaI Conditions
Were Not Especially EnbnrrnsS-
ini; After the Storm Ceased.

The weather man who ordered up the
cold wave fag is entitled to one more
guess. 1t was reasonably cold yester-
day morning, but the thermometer
showed a rise instead of a fall and as
the northeast wind moderated greatly
after sunrise. the day was q good one
for sleighing parties.
About five inches of snow fell on the
level, although the wind prevented one
from finding any particular place
where the beautiful was just that
depth. In some places it was piled up
TIN ee feet, and in others there was but
little sign of the storm.
Streets and avenues running north
and south had practically all the snow
on the east sides Of the thOrOughfares,
and on streets running east and west
the north sides were banked with snow.
The street railway company, by
working five snow ploWs from mid
night to o'clock, managed TO clear
its tracks, and Assistant Superintend-
ent Graham said there had been no
delay after the first trips on any of the
lines. The official in charge Of the snow
plOWs said: The storm was the worst
this year, but that wasn't saying
much"
The fall of snow. slight as it was,
made excellent sleighing, and the liV-

All the Chicago trains due in ST Paul

The Milwaukee morning train was
two hours overdue, and the fast mail

SEiBERT'S SMITH HIT.
Pretty Concert Programme at the
metropolitan Yesterday.

metropolitan Yesterday.
The sixth concert by Seibert's orchestra,
at the Metropolitan opera house yesterday
afternoon, was enjoyed by an appreciative
audience, which comfortably filled the thea
ter. The programme was a well chosen Sc
lection, in the Interpretation of which the
orchestra evidenced a pleasing efficiency that
delighted the audience, and in each number
brought forth enthusiastic demands for en-
cores. From the overture to the concluding
selection the concert was a musical treat.
The choice Of numbers was happily varied.
In the inspiring march, with it's volume of
harmony, the audience was eXhilarated and
enthused in a spirit of animation which
was in turn subdued by the sweet-strained
plaintive serenade and the dreamy soft-toned
waltz. In the Interpretation of Schubert's I'M
finished symphony, an elaborate conception
with a technical skill that showed a true ap-
probation of the composers effort.
The instrumental soloist, Jacob DAM in
trombone selection, accompanied by Miss
Lille Danz, was so acceptable to the audi
ence as to be obliged to respond to a hearty
encore.
The vocalist, Gustave zenzius ac-
companied by Miss Edna Zenzus, was in
splendid voice. and in the rendition of
tenor in a manner highly pleasing to the
audience. Mr.. ZenZius responded to an en-
thusiastie encore
An overture by Suppe was one of the~feat-

Rev. w. w. Everts Pays a Tribute to
the Late Frances e. willard.

the Late Frances e. willard.
Rev. w. w, Everts, of the Woodland Park
Baptist church, delivered a memorial ad
dress last evening on Frances Z. Willard
organizer and leader of the w. c. T. T., who
died last week.
There was not city in the country of 10
900 inhabitants, the speaker said, in which
Miss Willard had not spoken on the subject
Of temperance. She was a graduate of the
Northwestern Female college at Evanston
Ill, in 1859, and until 1865 was professor Of
natural science there. In 1866 she was prin-
cipal Of Genesee Wesleyan seminary and
later spent two years in Europe
She left her profession in 1874 to identify
herself with the Womens Christian Temper
ance union, serving as national secretary Of
the organization until 1879 when she was
elected president, and since then held the
position. In 1876 Miss Willard decided there
was no hope for the success of temperance
unless women could vote, and she organized
movement for allowing women to vote on
temperance questions.
a petition, signed by nearly 200 co., was
presented by her to the legislature of I'LL
nos asking that women be given the right to
vote on questions of license.
In 1885 she became a Prohibitonst in that
she advocated that there must be a third
party, as it would be useless to try to carry
the temperance question by either the Repub-
lican or Democratic party
She was a woman of wonderful expedents
and her organization of the W. c. T. L.
showed her ability as a leader
In 1886 she accepted the presidency of the
White Cross league, which organization
raised the age of consent in twelve states.
The secret of her great success was that
early in life she became converted and with
Gods help started on her mission The Sc
love for her fellow men and women, and
faith in God

these poor people have starved to death

sidewalk not twenty yards from the COVER

starving children were found in cave close

He will attend the convention, and he

Joseph Roach, president OF the First
National bank at Minot n. D., came
in with the storm. Mr.. Roach says
the storm was general in North Da-
kota, and there has been a snowfall
for several days past. About four
inches had fallen when he left Minot,
and it was the first of the beautiful
this season. The snow came as re
lief to the cattle on the ranges. In
many places there was a great scar

In getting at the grass the cattle are
compelled to dig through the snow, and

THE NEMESIS OF KENT
II. G VOss, OF MANDAN,
a GUEST AT A LOCAL HOTEL
He Was tIle Public Prosecutor Who
Fought for the Conviction OF the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of the
Northwest Cleaned at Local
Inns.


Wife-Murderer-Go Of the
Northwest Cleaned at Local
Inns.
H. G. Voss, of Mandan, was a guest
at the Windsor yesterday. Mr.. Voss
is one of the most prominent lawyers
in the Dakotas, and for fifteen years
has ranked at the head of North Da
kota jurists. During his career be-
fore the bar, he has earned for himself
an enviable reputation. For nearly
ten years he was prosecuting attorney
at Mandan.
In 1895 he tried the famous murderer,
NJ y. Kent, and, finally, after several
new trials and a change of venue, he
secured the conviction Of Kent, with
the aid of Frank NJ. Nye, Of MinneapO
lis. who assisted him in the trial.
1t was one of the greatest murder
cases ever tried in the West, and Kent's
conviction, it will be remembered, was
secured only after eighteen months of
battle between the formidable array of
legal talent for the defense and Messrs.
Nye and NOss.
"Our supreme court has recently
handed down their decision in the
Northern Pacific tax cases." said Mr..
Vcss. LAS yet the full decision has not
been published, and will not be until
lIlt lNbIlS udSS lOI appear - JII e.
This decision will dispose of the
veXatious questions which were con-
stantly coming up in relation to the le-
aality of the law and the rate of inter-
est. The court, in its decision, fully
covers all the points involved. In Ger
tain parts the decision favors the
Northern Pacific. and on other points
the county has the best of the decision.
1t would be just about stand-off be
tween the counties. and the railroad
company. The whole question balanced
upon a controversy between the rail
road company and the counties as to
the taxation and possession Of certain
sections of the land tributary to the
right Of way"
