A Great Musical Treat.

The concert Monday evening at
Concordia Opera house, given under
the auspices of the Concordia society,
was one OF the most remarkable mu-
slcal entertainments ever given in our
city. And with such distinguished
and accomplished artists as Messrs.
b. Steindel, E. Bare, j. V. Beyer
and Mrs. G. r. Field, how could it be
otherwise? There was a brilliant and
appreciative audience in attendance,
which thoroughly enjoyed the beau
tlful melody of the distinguished ar
lists who stepped before the foot
lights, and the most enthusiastic com
mendatlon is heard on all sides for
such a truly rich musical treat.
The first trio, Opus l., No. 3, by
beethoven, was executed with fine
expression by Mrs. Field, Messrs. Bare
and Steindel. Air Varie, violin solo,
by Mr.. Bare, was very fine number,
and demonstrated that gentleman's
title to rank as enc of the worlds
great violinists. The o, Cara Me-
moria, cello solo, by Mr.. Steindl.
was no surprise to those who had the
pleasure of hearing that gentleman
when he appeared in concert here last
1au. 1t was one Of the leading events
OF the evening, and will long be re-
membered. Der Fischer, with violin
obligato, sung by Mrs. Field, did not
reach the excellence of her later
work. This may be accounted for
from the fact that Mrs. Field had been
laborlng under much nervous ten
sion, and had not quite regained her
equanimity, but it was very pretty,
nevertheless, and was very enjoyable.
After the intermission Mr.. Bare
played Adagio, by Vieuxtemps, and
Mazurka, by Wieniawski, with fine
effect. Tarantelle and Spinnelied, by
Mr.. Steindl, were of a light char
acter, and seemed to be highly en-
Joyed by the audience. Mrs. Field
gained new laurels by her charming
vocallzation of One Spring Morning,
which necessitated a response to an
encore. Mr.. Boyer, the tenor, rem
dered two waltz songs, which were
well received. The sextet, in both
numbers, showed careful training.
and Its members were accorded much
deserved appreciation.
Mrs. Field is especially to be con-
graduated on the great success scored
oy her. Her stage presence was
perfect picture of composure, and her
beautiful voice, while not Of q strong
or robust character, is as musical and
enchanting as is that of the sweet bird
warbler. Her work at the piano in the
trlos was also a marvel of correct and
exquisite finish, and greatly delighted
her audience with it's superior excel
lence. When it is taken into consil-
GRAFTON that Mrs. Field sung two num-
bers, took part in two trios, one in
German and one in English, and re-
sponded to an encore in the second
number, besides her work at the pi
ano, it will be seen that her labors
were necessarily severe and exacting.
Our music-loving people are also un-
der obligations to this lady for secur-
ing these talented gentlemen, Messrs.
Steindl, Bare and Boyer.
The piano used at the concert was
the fine kranich & Bach grand, loaned
by the w. ID. Sproesser company.
The second concert of the series will
be given on April 26, when Mr.. Max
Heinrich, the great baritone singer of
Boston, will be one of the principal
attractions.

st. Bernard's church was the scene
of highly impressive services on Easter
Sunday. The early mass, at 7:3O, was
celebrated by Rev. Father Houlihan,
and nearly the entire membership of
the church attended Holy Communion.
This service was followed by solemn
high mass at 1920, Rev. Father Bo-
land, celebrant, assisted by Rev. Faith
ers HOulihan as deacon and O'ROurke
as sub-deacon. Owing to the recent
indisposition of the reverend pastor,
Father Condor, Father Houl1han de-
livered a brief but highly interesting
sermon applicable to the great feast as
celebrated by the church. The sing
ing was of an unusually meritorious
character. In the evening at 7:3O
solnem high vespers was sung by
Rev. Father Condor, assisted by Rev.
Fathers Boland and O'Rourke.
The services at st. Paul's Episco-
pal church were of the usual interest
ing character. The early celebra-
tion took place at A. NJ, and was
well attended. The second celebra-
tion of the Holy Eucharist was at
1O:45, and was attended by congre-
ga ton which completely filed the edi-
flee. The singing was in keeping
with the festival of the day, and the
church was handsomely decorated
with flowers ond plants. The offering
was very gratifying to the reverend
rector, the amount exceeding 800,
which is the largest for many years.
There was no evening service, Mr..
Foster having had an engagement
to fill the pulpit of Zion Episcopal
church, Oconomowoc.
The Methodist Episcopal church was
we'll filed with worshipers during the
day, and in the evening a highly en-
tertaining lecture was given by a re-
turned missionary from India, who
exhr ted many of the idolatrous OBJ
jecta worshiped by those people.
At all the German churches the
festival was also celebrated with great
fervo.. and they were crowded with a
large humber of their parishioners.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Result of Yesterdays voting-Herman

date for Mayor-A
Light Vote.

One of the quietest city elections in
the history of Watertown was that of
yesterday. No pronounced issue of
any Importance was up for the con-
sideration of the voters, and therefore
interest was lacking. Rather light
vote was cast, the total on the head of
the ticket being only $40 Herman
G. CRUDE, the Democratic nominee for
mayor. was elected by 44S ma
jority over Gustav Buchheit, his Re
publican opponent. M. A. Began,
Democrat, was elected treasurer with
out opposition, while the Democratic
candidates for assessors, Messrs.
Wenck and Gloger, were also success
ful. The only Republican alderman
elected was Dnra NJ Woodland in the
Fourth ward, he being handsomely en-
dorsed with 7S out of 40 votes in the
banner Democratic ward of the CITY.

The Tenebrae.

The Tenebrae was sung at St. Ber-
nard's church on Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday evenings of last week.
This name is given to the Office OF
mathis for the last three days OF
Holy Week, and was formerly recited
at midnight, hence the name Tene-
brae. The mathis of Tenebrae con-
sist of three nocturns, and each has
three psalms, three antiphons and
three lessons. The lessons of the
first nocturn are taken from the lam
entations of Jeremias; those of the
second from the writings of St. Au-
gustine, and those of the third from
the epistles of st. Paul. During the
Tenebrae the altar is almost bare.

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Provide shelter from the sun. Never
compel sheep to stay in pasture with
no shade.
If you have any yearling lambs that
won't eat very readily with the older
sheep, take them from them and feed
thrashed oats.
At an auction of the Polk county
(Ore.) mohair association the entire
clip Of 5000 Angora goats was sold at
1914 cents per pound.
Sheep on the land will at least pay in
terest and taxes. Never permit piece
of ground to lie idle because it is rough;
stock it with sheep.
In former years ticks were supposed
to be only parasites troubling sheep,
but with the introduction Of coarser
wooded breeds, come minute lice.
If you keep sheep sow rape in the
corn before the last cultivation. After
corn is cut and hauled of the rape will
furnish fine pasture until ground
freezes.
Large coarse boned ewes with big
heads and thick necks seldom raise
vigorous lambs. The best breeding
eve is q medium-sized animal of the
breed in question.
A good acre of land should grow 30
tons of roots. with the right cultiva-
ton. For six months this crop will
support 80 sheep, and will form about
two-thirls of their daily rations.-Rur-

ABOUT scABBY SHEEP.
Afford to Buy Them Even at q
Great Bargain.

The states of the west are now we'll
stocked with sheep scab, says the
Farmer. Many, perhaps most. Of the
docks are as yet free, but in almost
every county, and frequently in many
places in the same county, there are
flocks Of sheep that have either been
brought in from the west or have been
in contact with sheep brought in from
the west that are affected with the
scab. The ordinary man cannot af-
ford to take a scabby sheep az q gift.
The we'll posted, careful farmer can
afford to take them, provided he has
no sheep Of his own, at low price, be-
cause he can by great care and twice
dipping cure them. but he would have
to buy them at much less than their
value to be justified in going to the ex-
pense, labor and risk. Farmers, there
fore, who are wishing to stock up with
sheep will need to keep their eyes
open, and If they keep their ears open
to the gossip of the stockmen Of the
neighborhood 1t will not be to their
disadvantage. No man ever gets scab
in his flock without bitterly regretting
it, and the inexperienced farmer had
better have no sheep than have sheep
even at half price that have been in
contact with scabby sheep. Every
flock brought in from the west in the
last year is liable to suspicion, and the
same liability to suspicion attaches to
every flock with which any individual
western sheep has been even for an
hour in contact.

yield per acre IL prodigious. A late
United States consul, in one of his re-
ports from Winnipeg, wrote that when
the harvest time came the entire labor
to be found in the region was wholly
inadequate to the task of caring for
the crop. The wheat had grown 20
tall and stout and was 90 heavily laden
with grain that the work of threshing
and stocking was exhausting in the ex-
IRENE. The strength and weight of
the growing grain frequently broke
the reaping machines, and the utmost
exertion of strong men was needed to
handle the great weight of the sheaves.
In some years the average yield has
been about 80 bushels per acre, in one
or two years it fell to about 10 bushels,
but even that production with present
prices will yield a large profit, the cost
of raising an acre being placed by ex-
perts at from five to seven dollars per
acre.
Wheat, however, is not the only
cereal grown. The crops of oats, bar
ley and peas are phenomenal. Oats
were found by delegates visiting the
country to yield from 60 to 80 bushels
to the acre, while in some instances
they have been known to exceed 100
bushels. One delegate states: 1.-The
grain stood five feet six inches high,
the heads were more than IL inches
long and each chaff case is found to
contain not one but three perfect ker-

tune in that way must now look else
where. It fortunately happens that we
have right at our very door an oppor-

Remember that constipation is the

matter to destroy the cattle tick. The
short life history of the tick is as fol.

eggs hatch, and the young crawl upon
the grasses and plants, ready to attach
to anything that comes along. 1t has
not the power of selecting its host.
1t attaches itself to the first thing that
comes along, and sheep. upon which
the tick cannot live, are frequently pas
