At Mozart hall the society," whose
name 1t bears. will entertain on scale
never before adopted, and It's endeavor
will be literally supported. The society
proper Is German male chorus with
sixteen years good work to Its credit,
and In this connection It may not be
amiss to give the opinion. In part, Of
Frank Van der Stucken, of the College
OF Music, Cincinnati, regarding the POSI-
tion and value of these German organi-
cations as musical factor. He says:
None of the fine arts has In this country
reached such an altitude, and found
such loving reception among all classes
OF society. as has the noble art OF music.
This has been brought abput, principal
~ by a branch Of music, which In Its
popularity with the masses. has the
most direct influence upon 4 class OF peo-
pie who would not otherwise be reached.
This branch OF tonal art, offspring of the
snng-loving districts of Germany and
Switzerland. Is male chorus singing, the
representative OF which, the male chorus
singing societies, form a most character
istic product Of the present versatile
century" These singing societies de-
velop the Unborn love of music In all
classes OF society and thus prepare de-
sirdble public for the refining Influence
OF chamber music (The Philharmonic
Quartet. every two weeks) and great or
chcstral concerts. such as that given
here last week by the Pittsburgh Sym
phony Orchestra, under the distinguish
ed leadership OF Frederic Archer. There
are several OF these societies In Wheel
Ing, OF which the Mozart, under dircc-
ton OF Professor Schnckcy. ranks second
to none, and Its concert occurs next
Wednesday, at which Mrs. Flora Will
inms. Mr.. Charles Zulauf and Mr.. Will
lam Clemens assist. together with the
attraction OF the ladies'. comprising the
social section of the club.

Potter Necedah Lumber Company Case
at MaustOn.

Mauston, Wis, Jan. 0.-Arguments
to the jury were made Wednesday in
the Potter-Necedah Lumber company
case. John M. Olin began his argu-
ment in the morning following Judge
Morrow for the defense.
Congressman Babcock, Geo. Burch.
J. NJ. Burch and Silas H. Reed were
recalled to show the value Of pro-
perry and rentals in Necedah. During
the testimony of George 3. Burch il
was incidentally disclosed that he as
president of the company had given
Mr.. Potter full permission to examine
the books OF the company, but had re-
fused his attorneys that privilege. 1t
would seem that the plaintiff had sci
UT in her complaint the allegation
that Silas H. Reed had fraudulently
slipped an additional sheet into the in
ventory made by himself and Mr..
Wheelihan Or something to that effect
Tor the purpose OF defrauding Mrs.
Potter, but had offered no direct evil
dence to sustain the charge.
The defense put S. H. Reed on the
stand to deny the truth Of this allega-
ton which was objected to by plaintiff
on the ground that no evidence had
been offered to prove that part Of the
complaint. Judge Vinje finally over
ruled the objection against Mr.. Reeds
testimony and at the same time ruled
out the plaintiff from offering any tes-
timony to sustain that part of his COM
plant. In rebuttal the plaintiff re-

GERMANY SATISFIED.
China Comedies to all of it's De-
mands.

Berlin, Jan. 25.-Before the budget
committee of the reichstag Monday
Baron Won BuelOw, minister of for
eign affairs, said that negotiations
with China were now concluded and
had resulted: Firstly, in the governor
OF Shan-Tung being removed and
forever debarred from holding high
offices; six high officials named ty
Germany had been removed and pun
ished and proceedings had been insti-
tuted for the punishment of the
actual perpetrators of the crime.
Secondly, China promised to pay three
thousand taels for the material losses
Of the missionaries; three churches
were to be erected, each provided with
an imperial tablet, showing them to
be under the protection Of the Chinese
emperor; China grants sixty-six thou
sand taelS for each church and free
sites; another twenty-four thousand
taels are assigned for the building of
seven residences and for Catholic pre-
lecture of Taso-Chou-Fu. Fourthly,
| special imperial edict will be issued for
the protection of the German mission.
China" Baron Won Bue1ow ex-
planned, has thus complied with all
our demands and Germany believes it
has done all that is necessary for the
prevention Of further cutrages. -

DOUBTING DOCTORS.
Controversy Aroused Over an Alleged
Appendicitis Cure.

New York, Jan. 25.-Medical and
surgical circles are now discussing
with a great deal Of interest a method
Of treating appendicitis, advocated by
DR.. M. o. Terry of Utica, surgeon
general of the national guard of this
state. In the November issue of the
Medical Times, DR.. Terry defended his
practice. His treatment is substanti-
ally as follows: At first cathartics of
castor Oil and sweet oil, followed by
hot water, are given until the bowels
are thoroughly cleaned out. This is
followed by enemeta of glycerin and
sweet oil. FlaXseed poultices, soaked
in sweet oil, are kept on the abdomen,
and the diet is restricted to light,
easily digested foods. This treatment,
he says, he found very successful, cur
in 40 out of Il cases, some of which
were quite stubborn, and all without
the need of any operation whatever.
DR.. Robert P. Morris, an eminent au
thority on appendicitis and an advo-
cate of the use of the knife, questions
the success which DR.. Terry reports

DECLINE TO TESTIFY.
More Unwilling Witnesses Found in
Ohio Senatorial Investigation.

Cincinnati, jan 25.-The legislative
committee last night closed its inves-
t1gation in this city of the bribery
charges. The senate committee will
continue its work at Columbus.
Thirty witnesses were examined here
since last Friday, most Of them being
employees of the Gibson house, of the
telegraph and telephone companies
and Of the Union Savings and Trust
company. Jared P. Bliss, Allen 0.
Myers, ST., and E. H. Archer were
the principal other witnesses. AS
evidence of Representative Otis and
Col. Thomas C. Campbell will be
very lengthy, they were not called
mere. but Otis will likely be the next
witness at Columbus. At Columbus
last week several witnesses refused to
testify because their attorneys advised
them that the senate committee has
no jurisdiction in the investigation Of
the charges made by a member of the
house. Employees Of President
Schmidlapp's bank and Harry M
Dcugherty, chairman of the republican
state central committee, Monday de
clined either to be sworn or ansWe
questions because the committee hat
no jurisdiction. When Hollenbecl

trary manner in which his managers
were guarding his person, and this
alone was the cause of the cancella-
ton. 1t will be remembered that when
Nansen visited Minneapolis consider
able difficulty was experienced in car
rying out the arranged program. The
reception by the Norwegian societies
was on such a scale that they could
not have been postponed. The acade-
my of sciences, however, had a diff

fore hansen was allowed to attend
the reception at the library after the
lecture 1t was noticed that Nansen
was not consulted, or his wishes asked
in the matter. This is said to nave
been the case in other places.
At new years Nansen started out OF
his second lecture tour, in which he
dealt with his trip across Greenland
The second series promised to be as
successful as the first.
