OPENED BY MODOCS.
Strong City's New Opera House
lis Dedicated.

Strong City, April 20 The handsome
little opera house erected here at a cost
of IS, 900 was opened last evening by the
Modoc club of Topeka. assisted by Dick
enson's orchestra of FJnporia.
At least 1000 people crowded into the
parquet. dress circle and balcony and
dress suits, dainty evening costumes and
American Beauty roses were as plenti-
full as leaves in summer. It was re
fined cultured audience of Chase coun-
tvs best people and they gave the pro
grarnme the closest of attention through
out. bestowing cheers or tears as the oc-
casion demanded. Not a number on the
programme was given a frost and en-
thusiastic encores compelled a repetition
or a second number.
The Modocs, Twenty-Five strong, ap-
reared in dress suits when the curtain
arose after opening selections from the
orchestra. and from then until the clos
ing of the chorus not a moment OF 81
lence occurred
Topeka's favorite singer made a hit
and solidif1ed themselves in the musical
affections of Chase county Everyone

an ovation and deserved it but special
mention must be given to Mrs A NJ
Warner and Miss Adeline Meeks.
Mrs. Warmers beautiful rendition of
Annie Laurie was enthusiastically
received while her other renditiOns were
equally pleasing.
Miss Meeks' cornet solos bore thu
stamp of studied culture and much nat
ural talent She is beyond question an
artist of more than ordinary ability.

lingS and two pence between refined
sugars and sugars testing rs degrees is
looked upon here as a step in the direc-
ton of protection as 1t is believed that
this differential is great enough to az
ford considerable encouragement to the
British refiners.
This may lead to a reduction i'm the
imports Of refined sugar into the United

the United States last year 202, 366. S55

It is not believed that the trade in these

Mr.. Gage. the secretary of the treas
ury, IS not disposed to believe that the

GERMAN FRIENDSHIP.
More Important to England Than
That of Her Colonies.

New York, April Commenting on
the budget proposals of Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, the London correspondent
Of the Tribune says:
It is rumored that Mr.. Chamberlain
advocated in the cabinet some method
of upsetting the bOunthes upon beet
sugar and reviving the cane interests
of the East and West Indies and
Queensland, and that he was overruled.
This policy would have caused irritation
in Germany and impaired the good feel
ing now existing. 1t is more likely that
Mr. Chamberlain strongly favored the
sugar duties and an extension of in
direct taxation on other articles of gen.
eraI consumption. Mr.. Chamberlain has
considered the cooperation Of England
and Germany in China and Europe of
fundamental Importance, and is not
likely to have proposed differential
treatment against bounty fed sugar.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach has prob
ably strengthened his position in the
cabinet by the budget proposals and
thereby rallied the old Tories This has
an important bearing upon the cabinet

Of Lord Salisbury, which cannot be long
deferred

MAY HELP US.
Probable Effect Of the New Taxes I'm
posed in England.

New York, April pa special to the
Herald from Washington says:
England's new taxes. imposed to meet
the heavy charges growing out of the
Boer war may prove beneficial to Amer
lean exporters.
It is not believed that the import duty
to be imposed on sugar will affect the
trade between the United tSates and
the United Kingdom in any way.
Experts of the treasury department,
however, believe that the United States
will profit to some degree by the i'm
position of the export duty of one shil-
ling per ton on coal shipped out Of the
United Kingdom. The products Of
American coal mines have been gradual
ly making their way into new markets
for several years past and it is believed
that in many places the present margin
of cost in favor of British coal as against
that from the United States IS less than
one shilling per ton and that the inn
position of this tax with the consequent
increase IN the cost of British coal will
lead consumers to buy American coal.
The largest increase is expected in those
markets which are relatively nearer to
the United States than to Great Britain
but some increase may be expected in
exports to continental Europe

MONEY LOOSENS.
Causing Increased Activity in N. z.
Stock Market

causing increased ACTIVITY IN n. I.
Stock Market
New York. April 2O.-The relaxation OF
the money market has been the leading
motive of the increased activity Of the
speculation in stocks. The high rate for
money in New York has attracted a
large supply of funds from the interior
and has prevented the outflow of gold to
foreign money markets. Bankers have
been able to decrease their calling of
loans. although there was considerable
speculative liquidation early in the week
due to this cause. The Burlington deal
has been the handspring Of the specu-
lation and there have been rumOrs cur
rent of other deals locking to ocean to
ocean consultations to offset the Bur
lington deal. The belief in an extensive
southwestern railroad merger and the
measures taken towards a consolidation
OF copper companies have also been i'm
portant elements in the speculation,
which has broadened out and grown as
the week progressed.

Laid To Rest.

On Friday morning Herman Vogel-
phol after short sickness passed away,
and all that remained of him was laid to
rest in the cemetery on Monday. he
had been through life q vigorous, hearty
man, seldom complaining, always work
ing, until the End of September when he
began to decline and gradually failed
until the end. He was in his 72d year
and leaves large family of children
and grandchildren all of whom were
present az the funeral. They are Her
man, William, August and Albert of
this city: Henry, of Mankato; F. w. of
Green Bay, Wis; Mrs. e.. Palmer of
Fairfax, Mrs. w. f. Blauert of this city
and Annie, Louise and Meta Vogelphol
who are still at home. Mr.. Vogelphol

was designated as administrator of the

been resident of New Ulm, coming
here from Germany. he was member

q good citizen. His large circle of

Turned Down.
The Council Will Have Nothing to Do with the
Old Electric Light Company.

-s --s g -E
After much talk and shesitancy the
council has finally answered the electric
light company, and rejected all PROPOSE
tions made to sell the plant or any part
of it, and the council will proceed to
put in and operate an entirely new sys-
tenn for the city. There is no doubt but
that under proper management, munich
pal ownership of a lighting plant is the
best thing for city. 1t has been SO
demonstrated in other places and will
prove SO here.
The Review is surprised, however, that
the council has allowed itself to be de-
luded into the belief that by rejecting
the offers of the old plant. it was acting
for the best interests of the city. Busi-
ness men look beyond the actual cost of
a thing to determine its value and that
is the light in which this should have
been considered. At present patrons of
the electric light company are paying
less for their lights than is being paid in
Sleepy Eye, where the city found it nee
essary to charge fiat rate of fifty cents
a month, regardless of meters, now with
a competing plant how is the city to
fare in the outcome. 1t takes several
years of experience in operating con-
Germs of this kind to get at the most
economical methods, even under the
most favorable circumstances, what will
it be with a council confessedly ignorant
of the management of plant and OPEN
ly antagonizlng the only people in the
city capable of starting them out in the
most economical manner?
Looking at the matter from a purely
business standpoint with no sentimental
ideas as to justice, or what is due one
citizen of the same town to another, we
believe the city would have been money
ahead if it had sacrificed few thousand
dollars, as the council seems to consider
it, and acted in conjunction with the
present plant and its owners. The fran
chise of the present company continues
for number of years, except the con-
tract for lighting the streets. To intro.
duce its light the city will be compelled
to use another set Of posts and wires
when it might have had the ones already
in use. The outcome will be watched
with interest as the present company
will not lay down their hands and allow
their possessions to be confscated nor
their rights to be abrogated.

K. of p. Resolutions.

AT their regular meeting on Monday
night the X. of P. lodge of this city
passed resolutions of sympathy, express
ing the feeling of the members for the
President of the United States in his
present unfortunate condition. Follow
are the resolutions as adopted:
WHEREAS, on September 8, 1901, a
dastardiy attempt was made upon the
life of our beloved president of the
United States, an honored member of
this order, William Mckinley, which
has shocked the civilized world and
plunged the nation into grief;
Now THEREFORE,, Be It Resolved by
Sioux Lodge No. 101, knights of
Pythias of New Ulm, that we hereby ex-
press our sincere sympathy with Mrs.
Mckinley and the family of the Presi-
dent in the hour of their af1liction;
That we denounce the crime as
cowardly and the criminal as well as
his sympathizers as unworthy of place
among civilized men, and we earnestly
hope that our beloved President may be
spared for his family and the nation at
large.
Resolved, further, that these resolu-
tons be spread upon the minutes of this
lodge and preserved among the records
thereof.
