THIRD WAS TIE BEST
OF "THE VIKING
Another Splendid Audience Out
Last Performance Here to BE
Given This Evening.

The third performance of ''The Viking
alter last night went off like a profess
sional production. Every thing went like
clock work. Each man Of the cast-even
those in petticoats-waited eagerly for his
cue and took it right off the bat. The re-
suit was such smooth gliding action
throughout, that, if possible, the third
night made even more of hit with the
splendid audience gathered than the in
itial performance.
The fourth and last presenta ton of
THE Viking for this season will be given
at the Lyceum theater this evening. No
greater proof of the popularity of the
opera could be had than the fact that it
was necessary to give fourth rendition
of the piece in order to satisfy the insist
ent demands of those who were unable
to secure seats at the regular perform
anceS.
The club will go to Duluth over the
Great Northern road at o'clock to-mor-
row morning, and will play to a crowded
house at the Zenith City,s beautiful. Ly-
ceum theater, tomorrow evening. The
club will remain in Duluth over Sunday,
returning Monday morning.
St. Paul people who have witnessed the
play by the hundreds have advertised it
so we'll in the other city that it may be
put on there some time next month at
the Metropolitan theater
Charles Granger, the musical director
\ of the piece is deserving of much com
mendation for his excellent work in
training such a big chorus of voices in
the short time allowed him for the work.
To begin with, few in the company had
any knowledge of music. Under Mr..
Graniger's conscientious, painstai1ing
supervision they have acquitted them
selves splendidly, and now have a good
working idea of harmony. This achieve
ment is all the more remarkable when it
is remembered that most of the voices
are pitched in the same key. 1t was de-
cided early in the work of preparation
that the club should not go outside Of its
own ranks to get vocal material. AS it
is, the play has succeeded beyond the
most sanguine expectations of the club.

A WARNING TO DAIRYMEN
They Shouldn't. Hurry Their Cows
:.
Out to Grass.

r Out to Grass.
?, Now is the critical time Of the year
with the dairymen. Feed is high and the
natural disposition will be to turn out
the COWS to grass earlier than the con-
ditions warrant. State Dairy and Food
Commissioner Mcconnell points out the
peril of thsi course and urges dairymen
to stick by the dry feed until the proper
time. Cows turned out to hustle for grass
at this time will lose their appetite for
dry feed and shrink badly in their milk,
she says.

mittee believe that with Judge
Griggs at their head, and with the aid
of prominent democrats throughout
the country who have signitied their
intention to cooperate in every way
possible, victory is more than a mere
possibility.
A Washington special to the Allan
ia Constitution says that should the
house 90 democratic as result OF the
committees management one posi-
bility is that the popular Georgian
who has been selected to take charge
of the fight will be elevated to the
speakership. While Judge Griggs
and his friends disclaim any such
idea it is fact that already voluntary
suggestions of support for speaker
ship have been made to Judge Griggs,
and while he has said that there must
be no such talk at this time there is
no doubt that a democratic victory
would find him either strong proba-
bility himself or holding such COM
handing position as to enable him to
make some one of his close friends
speaker of the house. In all proba-
bility the prestige of democratic vic
tory through his leadership would
make him an active candidate with
the best chances for success.
