Musicians Convention at L LyndonviIIe

The Musicians convention to be held
at Lyndonville May %, "a, and 25,
offers advantages of profit and pleasure
which the musicians of the state can i'll
afford to lose. The very fact that so
able and accomplished an instructor as
Jean M. Missud of the Salem Cadet Band
has been engaged to direct the conven-
ton, gives evidence on its face that the
meeting is not to be a junket, but a
school where much can be learned in
three days teaching. There will be no less
than IA hours instruction which cannot
fail to give every one advanced ideas of
production and construction. There is
still an opportunity for few to secure
free entertainment while attending the
convention, under the offer made by the
local band to the first rs who apply for
chorus tickets enclosing $100, the price
of the convention tickets. There will be
three rehearsals Wednesday. May %,
and two each Thursday and Friday. On
Thursday evening promenade concert
and hop will be given, and on Friday
evening the convention will close with a
grand concert. Convention rates can be
secured from all B. &. M. R. R. points.

The Arti-SalOOn League.

This body, auxiliary to the State
League, held its annual meeting Tuesday
evening. May 8, at the Museum class
room. The following paragraph is con-
densed from the report of the executive
committee.
The work of the League has not been
much before the public during the past
year. One meeting was held in Music
Hall, at which Judge Thompson gave
clear and very instructive exposition OF
prohibitory law in its aim and practical
workings. Other similar meetings were
planned, but for sufficient reasons il was
thought best to postpone them. The
active work of the League was COM
mltted to its executive committee, which
has taken much pains to become ae.
| qualnted with all phases of the situation.
and to reinforce every effort to purge our
village OF liquor traffic. Our aim has
been not to be too forward nor to seem

ance and efficiency, as appears by the
fact that the condition of things is vastly
better than year ago, though much yet
remains to be done. Frequent enquiries
are made respecting the town agency.
The record of sales is, according to law,
open to inspection, and the agent has al
ways been ready and courteous in show
ing it to your committee. All citizens
are entitled to the same privilege, and to
free expression of opinion, but any action
in reference to the agency rests with the
County Commissioner. So long as this
agency continues to supply several other
towns besides our own it will be difficult
to properly guard or adjust the sales"
The following persons were chosen as
officers of the League for the year ensu-
ing:
President, Edward T. Fairbanks.
Vice President, A. H. Barbour.
Treasurer, E. A. Silsby.
Secretary, d. Y. Comstock.
Executive committee, the above officers

The membership is now about $50.
All persons contributing their names and
25 cents annual dues will be enrolled. 1t
is expected that public meetings will be
held occasionally during this year.

H STATE X

New Rockford Volunteer: While
there is universal expression of sur
prise by the republican press of the
state over the nominations made at
Grand Forks, no serious objection is
manifested against the nominees or
doubt expressed as to the result at the
polls. 1t would be an unheard of oc-
currence for a state convention to NOM
mate a ticket every member of which
would be satisfactory to every member
of the party. Had the Volunteer had
the making of the ticket there are
some names now on. it that would not
have appeared thereon, and perhaps
those who would occupy their place
would be Objectionable to some. Our
likes and dislikes do not all run in the
same channel, but as a rule every man
who is a republican because he believes
the party advocates principles and pol
icies best calculated to make the people
prosperous and contented and the gov
eminent we'll governed, are united in
the desire for a successful ending of
the campaign in both state and nation.
Some may differ with others as to the
men and lean used to accomplish
the desired end, but that is of little
consequence provided honorable men
and means are employed.

PRAIRIE FIRES.

A big prairie fire Saturday is re-
ported from Sterling. 1t started some
distance north of there and burned to
and across the track for at least twenty
miles south. For some distance
along the track it is a blackened waste.
No reports of damage to property other
than range are reported though one
MAI had his hands severely burned
and one horse was singed.
A dispatch says lightning set the
prairie On fire. The fire was driven
by high hot winds, destroyed vast
amounts of hay and %pasturage. Some
buildings were also burned.
Another fire is reported from the vi
entity of Steele AMI the man who is
supposed to have set it has been ar
rested. Damage to range only is re-
ported.

WALSH COUNTY.

DISAPPOINTED AT DRISCOLL'S
DEFEAT BUT ne REPUBLICANS
ACCEPT THE SITUATION AND
WILL WORK LOYALTY FOR THE
SUCCESS OF THE TICKET.
Although their favorite son, Hon.
ID. w. Driscoll, was turned down for
state treasurer, Walsh county repub-
licans will not sulk this year.. The
defeat OF Mr.. DriscOll is deplored and
the wisdom of the distribution of the
places is questioned but Mr.. Drisco1l
and his friends recognize in the Grand
Forks contest a fight remarkably free
from the questionable practices some
times resortcd to in political conven-
tions and the high character of the
men chosen on the ticket n%eutraliZe in
Il great measure their disappointment.
Mr.. Driscoll was the real choice of the
slope Countrywide county conventions
having endorsed the administration
but the fates of politics decreed other
wise and Walsh county's favorite was
not in the successful combine.
Mr.. Driscoll and his friends are now
Outspoken in their loyalty to the ticket
named at Grand FORKS and the follow
ing from the Grafton Record indicates
the sentiment of that section:
There may be sore spots. Yet why
complain, inasmuch as the ticket pre-
scented is a good one. personally if not
geographically? 1t is quite remark
able that a combination with such
strength as it had should have selected
fectly safe under the administration Of
such men as the convention placed be-
fore the voters for their endorsement
this fall. AS we said, Walsh county
regrets exceedingly that her choice
was left off the ticket, and at first ut
tered grOwls of dissatisfaction against
what She CONSIDERED as high-handed
proceedings; but mature consideration
simply shows that the outcome was the
result of a battle Of politics in which
some always lose. Mr.. Driscoll has
never wavered from his acceptance Of
the situation and his Loyalty to the can
didates named. Most of them are his
intimate personal friends. He and
his entire delegation came home feel
ing no personal antagonism against a
man on the ticket. They will support
it loyalty this fall, as will every other
republican in Walsh county who is
not looking for some excuse, good or
bad, to become a mugwump, and we be-
lieve there are very few in that condi-
ton this year. The ticket as nomin-
ated is at the head of our editorial col
umn. Study it and see if you can OBJ
ject to its personnel.
