MISS ANDERSON'S RECITAL

It Is just little difficult to analyze
Miss Wilma Anderson's somewhat peculiar
abilities from the piano recital given by
her at the Unitarian church last eve
ming. This does not mean that Miss An
derson is without ability. Indeed, quite
the reverse is true; she possesses ability
of a marked type, and her playing indi-
Gated this quite as fully as 1t did that she
had been a hard, conscientious and pains
taking student.
Miss Anderson played from the works
Of three composers Of distinctly opposite
types, Chopin, Beethoven and List. Cho-
pins selections were played as tho the
pianist loved his works, appreciated the
intricacies Of his moods, and their deli
cacy or severity as the case might be-.
His trills, runs, roulades and arpeggios
fall from her fingers with just the right
delicacy and finish Indeed Miss Ander-
sons technical equipment along these
lines is already quite unusual. Her enun-
citation Is clear and distinct, and her
phrasing admirable The opus 10, No. 8,
was undoubtedly the best thing of the
evening.
In her Beethoven number, the somewhat
infrequently played sonata in G. Major,
opus So, Miss Anderson was less happy.
The classicism Of the old master did not
appeal to her nervous, vivid energy and
imagination and it did not receive the
same careful, loving treatment which was
accorded to the Chopin numbers. The
List transcription of schubert's Hark,
Hark, the Lark" was delightfully."- played,
but the Rhapsodie Hongroise No. IL was
apparently too powerful for one of Miss
Anderson's somewhat delicate physique.
To the listener 1t seemed as tho sheer will
power and nerve force, altho accompanied
by keen intelligence, was accomplishing
the rendition. Miss Anderson undoubted-
ly has great possibilities before her. The
somewhat meagre audience, due doubtless
to the strong counter attraction of a Wag-
ner night, was most appreciative.

RAILROADS.
BUYS FIVE BLOCKS
Great Western Acquires Land for
Terminals in the Very Heart
Of Omaha.
Deal Had Been Under Way for q
Year $25o,ooo Paid for
G Properties.

Special to The Journal.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 19.-The biggest
land deal in the history Of local railroad
purchases was consummated yesterday,
when five blocks in thickly populated
part Of the city were transferred to the
Great Western Railroad company.
The property isssoetween Fifteenth and
Nineteenth streets on Leavenworth. 1t
extends to the tracks of the Union Pa
cifc and the Burlington roads, little more
than a block.
The occupants of ninety dwellings on
the property have been notified to vacate-
This works a great hardship on many,
because vacant houses in the city are
few. The Great Western purchased the
land by lots in the names Of unknown
individuals and the deals had been under
way for more than a year. It was not
even guessed at when the people who
lease the dwellings were denied renewal
of the privilege at the expiration of their
leases. The price paid for the ground
was $3.50, 900.
The acquisition Of this section was a
great coup for the road, as it brings the
terminal and freight yards right into the
heart Of the city-nearer than any other
road In fact-and makes perfect its IA
cilities for handling freight and pas
sengers. The work Of demolishing the
structures on the land will be COM
| menced at once.

lover and F. e. Barrow.
The Musical Director.
Probably no act of the club has given
such general satisfaction as the reap
pointment of H. S. Woodruff to direct the
for the coming season. Mr..
Woodruff has shown himself to be pecul-
iarly fitted for the position, he has been
recognized as a principal light In the Min
neapolts musical profession for the past
eighteen years, and a perfect understand
ing exists between director and club.
Change Of Auditorium.
Ever since the organization of the club,
the concerts have been presented in the
Lyceum theater. The board has deemed
it advisable to give this seasons concerts
in the First Baptist church, Tenth street
and Harmon place. The advantages to
the subscriber in this move are many.
AS the object of the organization Is the
advancement Of music in the community,
the club intends to strengthen materially
it's position by having at its command one
of the best and largest pipe organs in
the northwest. 1t is, therefore, obvious
that the opportunity will be at hand to
present programs on broader and more
magnificent scale. The auditorium Of the
First Baptist church is one of the best
in the city from every point of view.
Social Features.
I The, club has secured the use Of the
entire edifice for the concerts and will
arrange for the checking Of wraps and
hats in one of the small rooms in the
rear Of the building, which has an en-
trance on Harmon place. There are large
assembly rooms on the first and second

floors which are easily accessible from
the main audience room. These will be
used for conversational purposes in the
intermissions.
The Concerts.
The dates for the concerts are not def
nitely fixed yet, altho the time is approx
mately arranged for each concert, the
first of which will be in November, the
second in February and the third in April.
There will be two prominent artists at
each concert, one vocalist, the other an
instrumentalist. The greatest care has
been exercised in securing these artists.
Tickets Are Limited.
AS the seating capacity of the First
Baptist church. Is decidedly less than that
of the Lyceum, the list Of subscribers
will, Of necessity, be very materially re-
duced. There are many subscribers who
have been associate members sipce the
organization Of the club. There are also
complaints from those who are tardy In
making applications for membership. II
is, therefore, advisable to make applica-
lions during the week to any active mem.
Der, or apply at the box office in the
Metropolitan music store. A postal care
mailed to the secretary, w. HI. Mchman
1928 Andrus building, will receive prompt
attention, and will cause such names tc
be placed on the associate membership
list, If desired. It Is the purpose Of the
club to give this seasons concerts exclu
sively to subscribers, and the list is being
rapidl.- signed.

amounts will entitle the subscriber to tw.

bands repertory begins to compare with
those which he has made. The result is
the finest presentations of such numbers,
one Of many facts which have earned for
the band it's present reputation.
Tonight the Banda Rosa is to present
an entirely American program, embody-
ing the works of such well known band
masters Sousa and Herbert, such
composers as Nevin and such opera wri-
ters as De Koven and Stuard. While the
program will not be so heavy and strictly
classical as the tremendous Wagner pro-
gram given last night, it will be none the
less interesting and many familiar num-
Der will be played. One Of the most In
teresting features of the evenings con-
cert will be the playing of SCREENINGS

evening will be Miss Harriette FIiscock,

yesterday afternoon at the bands matinee

from the Barber Of Seville.
Tomorrow will witness the closing Of
the present engagement, and the evening
concert will be in the nature Of a good

Sunday evening program has been ar
ranged with especial care to include many
of the choicest things In the bands eX-

Last night was indeed gala night at
the International Auditorium. The an
devoted exclusively to the compositions
Of Richard Wagner served to bring out
the largest audience of the engagement
so far.
The 'Niebeungen March," an excerpt
from the Ring" proved to be somewhat
uninteresting, and without the flashes OF
genius which so constantly appear in
atoned for. however, by the tremendous
''Tannhaeuser" overture, which fortu-
nately came early In the evening, while
the listeners were yet fresh. The rendi-

gems Of the evening. "Walther's Traum-
lied" from die Meistersinger. This
was played as trumpet solo by Sig. Bot
tega, and it was a revelation to many that
the trumpet was capable of producing
such expression and feeling. Sig. Bot
tega played 1.-The Holy City, as an encore.
The 'L'oro del rene" number was a
of the program.
The knights of the Holy Grail'' march
from "Parsifal," opened the second part.
1t is a wonderful bit Of tone painting.
1t was warmly received. Sig. Barilott1
played the Evening STAR from "Tann-
haeuser'' with fine effect and was encored.
Much interest had been expressed In
the appearance Of Hazel Kirke McLaskey,
who sang "Eizabeth's Prayer" from
Tannhaeuser," and the young singer more
than redeemed the promise Of good things

HERE'S A WAY TO SAVE DOCTOR
BILLS
Physicians Give Free Advice by Which
Parents May Profit.

It's a matter Of general interest Just
now how ones physical condition can be
got into shape to best receive the benefits
Of the summer season. Especially Is this
true Of the children. They have become
run down by a winter of unnatural man
ner Of living because of ill-considered
food and much time spent indoors. Spring
comes with It's sunshine, it's fresh vege-
tables and all else invigorating, but the
children are in no condition to receive ma
lures remedies.
Many parents can in the family ply
s1cian Many other parents take advan-
tage Of what the physician told them
when he was first called in consultation.
All good family physicians say: "Give the
children Castoria.'' Healthy parents know
this remedy of old, for they took it them
selves as children. It was more than thir-
ty years ago that Castoria made a place
for itself in the household. It bore the
signature of Charles H. Fletcher then, as
it does to-day. The signature is its guar
antee, which is accepted in thousands of
homes where there are children.
Much Is printed nowadays about big
families. DR.. William l. McCann Of Oma-
ha, Neb., is the father Of one Of these
much-read-about families. Here is what
he says:
GAS the father of thirteen children I
certainly know something about your
great medicine, and aside from my own
family experience I have, in my years of
practice, found Castoria popular and
efficient remedy in almost every home -
Charles H. Fletcher has received hun
dreds of letters from prominent physicians
who have the same esteem for Castoria
that DR.. Mccain has. Not only do these
physicians say they use Castoria in their
own families but they prescribe it for
their clients. First of all it is vege-
table preparation which assimilates the
food and regulates the stomach and bow
els. After eating comes sleeping, and Cas-
toria looks out for that, too. It allays
feverishness and prevents loss Of sleep
and this absolutely without the use oi

One Of the favorite young singers Of
Minneapolis is Miss Harriette Hiscock,
who sang with the Banda Rosa at its
concert yesterday afternoon, at the Inter-
national auditorium. She sang an aria
from the Barber Of Seville which was
so thoroly enjoyed that it will be repeated
this evening. Miss Hscock has sweet
but powerful coloratura soprano which
has been heard in Minneapolis frequently
during the last year or two She has won
a distinct success in her appearances in
concert both at home and In distant
cities. She has made many friends by her
beautiful singing, who will be glad Of the
opportunity Of hearing her at the audi
torium, under circumstances commensur-
ate with her abilities.
