AN INDUSTRIOUS WOMAN.

for seven or eight years she drove,

cut all the grain on the large farm,
and when hte grain was cut mounted
the stacks and did all the stacking,
the most difficult and particular work
about farm, and never one of the
stacks she made ever took drop of

REAL ESTATE BOOMING.
Landed interests are Way Up in the
Air.

The dirt storm Friday was the worst
in the memory of old residents. A
good deal of dirt was flying in the air
Thursday. but it was not circum-
stance to the way it sailed around Fri
day, It seemed as though the whole
surface of Nicollet county was hurled
through the air. The fine dust found
it's way into houses and stores while
walking through the streets was any
thing but pleasure.
Such storms are refquent in southern
California, and are called "northers
or ''Santa Annas, because north WIND
are generally responsible for them,
and because the town of Santa Anna
| is always in the center OF their path.
The wind was from the northwest
today, and took up the dry dust anc
dirt from the farms in clouds thai
darkened the sky and obscured the
sun.
Waste paper was hurled about in al
agonizing way and sign boards ratified
and strained at their fastenings like
bulldogs when hobo is near.
The farmers are praying Tor rain
but the weather prediction is not fav
orable. 1t calls for colder tonight ant
| fair weather tomorrow.
The wind took up nearly 400 fee
of the sidewalk on the extension
Pleasant street across the slough, AM
tossed it about. blocking travel OF
that street.

There was also large chorus OF
Jews and one of Persians, besides
guards and pages.
The curtain arose at about 10 p.
M, and the entertainment was con-
Guided in two hours. The. way the
cantata was put on, with only very
brief intermissioons between the acts
and without confusion or disorder
where so many were participating, is
both remarkable and highly creditable
in an amateur performance The audi
ence did not in the least evince that
tired feeling" which so often follows
as a necessary result of the slowness
of the ordinary attempts of amateurs.
Prof. Travis had his assistants well
in hand, and they showed the good
results of thorough training.
The first scene showed Haman and
his Persian friends, with the advent
later of the Jews and Mordecai. One
scene succeeded another in rapid sue
.cession, and the enunciation Of the
singers was SO distinct that it was
easy to follow the plot and even the
lines at the rear of the auditorium.
The triumphal march executed in
the first scene of the fifth act was well
deserving of the hearty applause
which it received. The various figures
and maneuvers were executed with
perfect self possession by everyone,
and not false step was noticeable from
the audience. 1t was rare piece Of
drilling.
Miss Jennie Hughes had leading
character in Queen Esther, and she
sustained it with proper dignity Of
carriage and self poise. She was al
once stately and graceful. Her fnt
soprano voice was well fitted for the
character, and was particularly effec
tive in her applications to the king
when the high notes were called for
Miss Hughes has stepped into immense
popularity of late as singer.
Evan Hughes was at his best in tn
character of King Ahasuerus. Hi
deep bass voice penetrated every incl
of the building, as he gave the PROUD
mandates of the despot, who knows NJ

reflect credit on the country if he wer'

"QUEEN ESTHER
Presentation of This Beautiful
Cantata.
Splendid Singing, Magnificent Cos.
tunes, Excellent Acting, All BY
Home Talent.

"Queen Esther the sacred cantats
which was given at the theatre Thurs
day evening by home talent under the
auspices of the Christian church, was
a success in every way. A large and
delighted audience was present to'wit-
ness the initial performance. and the
cantata was produced in a manner
little short of the best efforts of profess
sionals.
The costuming was gorgeous, and
reflects the greatest credit upon Mrs.
Redfeld. who had charge of its pre-
paration. Nothing was wanting to
transport the listeners back to the
days of the Persian empires greatness,
SO far as the stage settings and COS
tunes go.
The story of Esther is familiar with
most people, and it is indeed beautl-
full one. She was born in Persia 5OO
BIC. Being an orphan from infancy
she was adopted by her uncle, Nor
decai, who, recognizing her great
natural beauty, trained her in the &C
complishments of highest womanhood.
She was chosen by the king of the
realm to be his wife and queen. She
did not disclose her nationality.
Haman was premier and favorite of
the king. Hannah hated Mordecai be-
cause he would not worship him as
the king had commanded. He did not
know Mordecai's relation to the
queen. To be revenged he obtained d
decree for destroying all the Jews IN
the provinces. Mordecai discovers
the plot and charges the queen to petit
ton the king for the safety OF he1
people, which she does at the peril oil
her life, on account of the law that No
one shall go unto the king unbidden.
The king hears her petition, and Ha-
man is defeated. Hannah has prepared
a gallows for Mordecai. An attendant
informs the king of the fact The
king orders Haman to be hanged from
;fyand p-oelaims Mordec&i premier il
his stead. After this the people re-
joice.
The cantata was produced under The
direction of Prof. Charles R. Travis,
who, by his success, has at once VOL
hold upon the music loving people
of Mankato. He is a comparatively
recent conner to Mankato, but an
nounces that he has come to stay, anC
a warm welcome will be extended t.
him and his family. Miss Dais.

acceptable manner.
