Hutchinson Citizens Forgot to Vote
To Call Another Election.

the question were in favor of thelibrary.
But the law provides that such a pro-

the votes cast at the election, and half
the people who voted were SO excited
over marshal or street commissioner
that they neglected to vote at all on the
library.
Petitions should be circulated at once

THE MESSIAH RENDERED.
A Chorus of 3S6 Trained Voices at
Iindshorp

Lindsborg, April 1.-THE first day of
the Messiah was a success. It rained,
hailed and showed for hours. The at
tendance was large, but only half as
large as if the blizzard had not oc-
Cured. The art exhibit elected praise,
and the visiting musical friends were
loud in their good opinions of the piano
recital by Professor Laurin.
The climax was the Messiah proper,
in the evening The chorus of 1856
voices, the orchestra of forty instru-
ments and the grand organ produced
effects difficult of description. This
was the twenty-seventh rendition of
the Messiah by the Bethany chorus, and
it is safe to say that it was the best
so far.
