9th and Sth. Prof. Lauder was stu
dent under Listz for two years and

and has a decidedly American appear
ance and manner. We quote the fol-
lowing from an interview with Prof.
Lauder given in the Sioux City Jour-
nal of last Saturday:
The people now want plano music
entirely different from what was in de-
mand a decade ago. One must use
the piano as an orchestra now, il he
would expect to win name u music.
No longer do you sit down to re piano
in public and play off something en-
tirely pianistic; you are expected 70
be competent to assume the part of
every player in an orchestra and bring
out the orchestral architecture of the
piece The people went something
grand magnificent, imposing. like
the buildings at an exposition; they
look for wonderful things nowadays"
Mr. West received letter yester-
day from Prof. Lauder in which he
states that one evening will be given
up to Chopin programme and the
other to either a Wagner or mixed
programme.

Friends and Fellow Citizens:
1t is a matter already made public
that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has Of

for the purpose Of erecting a public
library building With the proviso
that the city furnish a site and
maintenance Of $4,000 annually.
Our one mill levy will now give us
81, 400, but this amount is 5000 short
of meeting the requirement and
making it possible for us 20 accept
Mr.. Carnegie's generous gift.
The library board Is confident that
this amount can be raised at once
and they propose to do it in the fol
lowing manner:
They will issue memberships to the
library at one dollar each. Holders
of membership cards are entitled to
draw books from the library for one
year. Heretofore membership tickets
have been Issued at the rate of two
dollars per year. No short-time tick
cts will be issued hereafter, and an
books taken from the library must he
drawn on annual membership cards.
Now. here Is a grand opportunity
for every loyal citizen of Guthrie and
vicinity to assist in an enterprise
which win be Of great public bene-
fit and at the same time give the
holders OF tickets ten times their
moneys worth of pleasure derived
from the reading Of the new books
