THE BuRNHAM RECITAL.
Marshalltown Again shows Lack of
Appreciation of Fine Music.

Appreciation OF F1ne MUSIC.
The lack of appreciation forth finest
music in Marshalltown was again very
effectively demonstrated at the Odeon
last evening when Mr. Thuel Burnham
gave one of his mastery piano recitals.
1t was repetition of the phrase SO ia
miliar to musicians, "a small but en-
thusiastic audience" that eagerly drank
in the heavenly strains which this truly
great artist drew from his piano. There
are other heroes besides Dewey and
Hobson. Mr.. Burnham is one. 1t takes
a brave heart to give an artistic per-
Torrance before such small number
as was present last night, and do 1t so
well and graciously. His program was
a brilliant one and included four num-
bers by Chopin, two by List, Schu-
mann's Carnival" of twenty move
ments, besides Nevin's Love Song"
and Mason's Silver Stream" His
playing is simply divine, his technique
beyond comprehensive criticism. He is
undoubtedly Iowa's greatest artist. If
not one of the finest in America. and
he is surely destined to reach place
with the foremost performers OF the
world. There is no excuse for such a
meager attendance and 1T seems a
shame that Marshalltown people could
not have awaited themselves of the
rare opportunity of hearing so great an
artist

THAT, THEY HAD THE LEGISLATURE

TAIN. THE AGENTS OF THE TRUST PRE-
VENTED THE PASSAGE OF THE ORDI-
NANCE.
Evidently the only relief from the
situation Is In extending the functions
OF the municipality. The city has a
municipal electric lighting plant, which
the Mayor and Council, very wisely,
have taken steps to enlarge. Upon Sc
curing the proper authority from the
Legislature the city plant could be still
further enlarged and used In furnish
ing light to private consumers, just as
the city furnishes water to citizens, In
| the course of time the city might very
well go further and take over the eX.
listing lighting plants and thus control
| the entire lighting service of the city.
"a move 10 secure from the Legisla-
ture authority for municipalities to
| furnish light to private consumers
would meet with a hearty cooperation
from the smaller cities Of the State.
Many OF them have electric lighting
plants for furnishing public light. They
could Just as Well as not furnish light
to their citizens, and frequently have
sought from the Legislature the priv.
lege Of so doing, but without success.
