The Beautiful Italian Opera to be
Brilliantly Presented Here
March 18th.
1st. GRAND OPERA INNEW ULM
The Production to be Given by the
Gordon Shay Grand Opera
Co. of New York.

Unquestionably the most conspicuous
event at the Turner Theatre this season,
and perhaps for many seasons to come,
will be the forth coming production OF
I'll Trovatore'' by the Gordon Shay
Grand Opera Company of New York
City.
This company is a comparatively new
organization, but ever since its opening
night at Newport News trial of operat-
ic triumphs has marked its course across
the continent. Press and public have
everywhere alike conceded thatnot since
the days of Emma Abbott IN the heyday
of her career have there been given such
magnifcently enjoyable performances as
those of the youngest and fairest of all
American prima donnas, Rose Cecilia
Shay. The company is admirably framed.
Mr.. Gordon, the manager, has gotten
together the cleverest coterie of artists
who ever sang grand opera In English
in this country. The principals have one
and all had the advantage of European
study, followed by valuable engagements
with such companies as the Metropoli-
tan, National Grand, Royal Italian, Carl
Rosa English, Mapleson, Tavary, Ameri-
can Grand and Castle Square Opera
Companies. Miss Shay herself made a
remarkable debut at La Scala, Milan,
aud followed it up with a seasons engage
ment there as prima donna soprano. Her
voice is said to- be of wonderful fexibillty
and purity. Her associates in the Gordon
Shay Company include such we'll known
artists as Helene Noldi and Pauline
Johnston, sopranos, Elosie Bishop ard
Lillian Beard, contraltos, Joseph Frede-
ricks and Walter Wheatley, tenors,
AchilIe Alberta and James Stevens, bari
tones, and A. G.. Burgess and Anthony
Swinton, bassos.
The company also carries It's own or
chestra, chorus that is admitted to be
the best singing chorus in the United
States and scenic and costume investi.
ture that in its richness and completeness
excels anything of its kind seen in grand
opera productions in years.

Good Time for Ali.

People who haye heard both say that
the entertainment which is to be given
tomorrow evening under the suspices of
the library board, at the High School
auditorium, is superior to the one that
was given last week, which is the same
as saying that it will be worth paying q
good price to hear. Mr.. Fouche has the
reputation of being one of the best read
e1s on the road and includes in his re-
.portoir collection of the best selections
that can be found. Those who heard Mr..
Sears last week will not miss the enter
tainment tomorrow evening. This is the
third in the course and they have been
growing better as they go along. Il IS
anticipated that there will be large at
tendance of those who do not hold sea
son tickets, SO that there will be some
profit to the library abave that obtained
by the sale of the course tickets.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1903-03-04
Girls Training School.

The legislature is considering thef ad-
Instability of combining the proposed
girls training school with the reforma-
tory for women as the board OF control
wishes, but there is little reason TO be-
Ieve that the legislature will follow this
excellent Recommendation and that II the
reformatory for women is established it
will be a separate aud distinct affair.
The wisdom of having the women and
girls in the same buildings would seem
to be apparent.
There was some hitch in the bill pro-
viding for the girls training school,
which is the same that this city has been
making an effort to secure, and the crea-
ton Of new bill is necessary. There
is great need for the school The train
ing school at Red Wing is used for both
sexes. It houses about $50 boys and
from 65 to 20 girls. It is overcroWded.
IF a girls training school is not erected,
the present common training school must
bs enlarged. With the necessity for new
buildings apparent, the time is ripe to
give the girls school by themselves,
leaving their present quarters to be used
for the accommod ation of more boys.
There is no doubt that the usefulness
of the Red Wing school is impaired by
having children of both sexes in the same
school. The boys and girls should be so
separated that their meeting would be
impossible in any way. The girls, to be
formed, or reformed as the case may
be, need a separate institution, wholly
under the management and superintend-
ence of strong and sympathetic women
The last legislature, realizing the ne
cessity of charging the training school
and perceiving the wisdom Of separating
the sexes, appropriated $4,000 for the
construction of two cottages as the be-
ginning of girls school On account
of a defect in the title of the law this ap-=
preparation is considered unconstitutlon-
al. The item, or similar one, should
have a place in this years appropriation.

The library hoard held meeting last
evening but nothing of Importance was
done aside from the preparations for the
entertainment tomorrow evening. There
was some talk of submitting the library
proposition to- vote of the people as
was tried once before but the sentiment
was against it as the sympathy in the
movement does not appear to be very
universal.

May be Argued Again.

The suit of J. W. Schmitt as trustee
IN bankruptcy for Peter H. Dahl of New
Ulm, vs.. Peter H. Dahl and his wife,
Amelia Dahl, recently decided by the
state supreme court In faFo of Schmitt,
may be argued again before that tribun-
al. This action was brought to set aside
the transfer of eighty acres of land by
Dahl to his wife, the plaintiff claiming
that 1t was done for the purpose Of de-
trauding the creditors. Judge Weber
of the district court of Brown county
decided in favor of the defendants. The
plaintiff appealed the case and won in
the higher court. The respondent hav-
ing filed petition for re-argument, a
stay has been ordered pending its de-
termination, except as to costs.

good entertainments that it has been the
desire Of the management Of Turner the

VACCINATION being the only known
preventative so far as smallpox is con-
cerned, it is up TO the people to take
that precaution. In this connection
it might be well, in fact, it is urgent
that the city and county health
boards should proceed along this line.
A way to vaccinate should be provid-
ed. One or more physicians should
be engaged to perform this sort of
service and the public generally
should be given an opportunity to
take advantage of it. Usually special
preparations have to be made by ply
sicians for this sort of practice and
the health. boards ought to signify
their intention and wishes in the mat
ter that the proper arrangements
may be made. There will be in
stances where there will be inability
to pay for vaccination. In such cases
the inability should be shown and
then way provided to pay for it.
The subject is one that needs the i'm
mediate attention of the health
boards -Clarksburg Telegram.

George W. Moose, who was EN-
ployed in Oakland number of years
ago as telegraph operator and ticket
agent at the Baltimore and Ohio sta
ton, and who left behind him an I'M
savory reputation, is again in trouble.
The following special from Belington,

his latest escapade.
George Moose, who was formerly
employed by the b. & o. Railroad

man acts drove his family from home.
He then seized Ratchet and smash

satisfied with this he carried armloads
OF blankets, cOmforters, portieres,
towels, his wife's silk dresses and
other garments, into the garden and
set fire to the promiscuous heap and
burned them to ashes. The only ex-
PLANTATION he would give was, 81 did

taking out the three trays containing
her best wearing apparel, he fired a
full load of shot into each at close
range-literally running the entire
contents. Officers were sent to arrest
him, which they did after he had
held them off for awhile at the muzzle
of his shot gun. He was then tried
before Justice Vicqueney and SEN

IONWALTER WANTS II.

Gov. John Walter Smith is urging
the members of the Legislature to
vote for him for United States Sena-
tor, and has sent out the following
letter to members of the next Gener-
al Assembly:
Il congratulate you upon your
election, which gives you the Oppor-
tunity to render signal service in
carrying out the promises of the party
platform. You are aware that prior
to and during the canvass a portion
of the press of the State used nv
name in connection with the United
States Senatorship, and that the
nominating convention in my coun-
tv passed resolutions commencing me
for that position.
Il frankly confess it gratitied me,
as my friends knew | should feel
greatly honOred to represent my
State in part in that august body, |
was, however, SO thoroughly impress
ed with the vital importance of elect
ing our candidate for Governor and
other State officers with Legislature
in political accord, that my best en-
deavors were given to secure that re-
suit. l, therefore, studiouslY re
Trained from injecting my ambition
or desire into the canvass lest it might
tend to divert attention from the
paramount object.
Now that our success is so COM
plete, | have no hesitation in saying
should be signally hOnored by being
elected to that position, and would
be greatly gratiiied if | can have your
support. If | should be successful,
it will be my duty and pleasure to
serve the people as faithfully as /
have tried to do in the honored posi-
tions the Democrats of the State have
heretofore conferred upon me-"
The Governor says he ''studiously
refrained from injecting his ambition
into the canvass lest it might divert
attention from the paramount OBJ
! ject." The fact is, Mr.. Smith consid-
cred the Senatorship fixed when he
called the extra session. Mr.. Rayner
got the start of Jonwalter in inject
| ing ambitions in the canvass and
so the Governor depreciates the i'll
| timed boom of the Acknowledgement.
Mr. Rayner is no doubt the popular
choice for Senator, but without the

! tor would not now be possible

part of public economy throughout
the country, but the actual accom-
plishmeDt of work has been especial
ly gratifying in the South, where the
development of natural resources has
made transportation facilities an i'm
mediate and urgent necessity, and
where public spirit has met the de-
mand en- individual and organized ac-
tivity without hesitation or reserve.
More of that spirit is needed where
the producer measures the cost of his
production by the haul to shipping
points, and where wear and tear on
rolling stock and beasts of burden is
no inconsiderable item of expense.
The Southern Field, after noting the
general road improvement in the
South. says:
One of the most promising and
gratifying features of Southern de-
velopment today is the activity dis
played by commercial bodies in pro
noting road building in the country,
assuming part of the burdens in many
instances, and thus recognizing what
has been so long largely ignored-the
mutual interest and interdependence
of town and country in one of the
most important movements of the
time

MAN SELLS DAUGHTER FOR $50.
Father Could Not Refuse the Offer of
Gold and DisPoses of His Child
tie an Italian.


Yesterdays Fairmont Times is au-
thority for the following: "A white
man of Marion county. living at one
of the small towns between Fairmont
and Monongah, recently sold his six
teen-yearold daughter to an Italian
for $50. The money was paid and the
frightened girl was taken away. The
influence of the father and the Italian
lover was brought to bear on the girl.
and it is claimed that threats were
used also to make her marry the fell
low. According to the report she did
not consent, but was told if she didn't
go with the Italian TO Oakland and
marry him she would wish she had.
The girl, it is said, positively refused
to 90 at first, but the alleged threats
had the desired effect, and the girl
was taken to the Maryland town and
tied up TO the foreigner by a preacher
who questioned her not, but took his
fee and blessed them The couple did
not return for some days and when
they came back the father of the girl
had gone. He took the $50 which he
had received for his daughter and
went to Ohio it is said The Italians
wife never comes out of the house
where her owner domiciled her.
Whether she is forbidden to come out
or not is not known. The neighbors
are talking about the horrible treat
ment the girl receives at the hands of
the foreigner, but none of them seem
to know whether the reports of cru
city are true. Anyway such reports
are out. The girl is said to be pretty
and bright 1t is said the Italian
attempted TO make love to the girl
some months ago, but she turned
down his advances with Indignation.
as he is said to De dirty, ugly fellow,
and threatened to tell her father if
any more attention was paid to her
by the Italian. She did tell her father
and the old man said he'd fix the I'M
welcome lover. But the Italian knew
a trick.or two. He went to the father
and held out fifty dollars in gold.
'givee money you for woman said
the dusky coal digger and the white
fathers eyes got as big as saucers.
AT first the father hesitated but as
he looked at the glittering gold his
scruples melted away and he pocketed
the COIN
From other sources it was learned
that the girls name was Robertson
but an inquiry at the court house this
morning discloses the fact that no
license has been issued to the Italian
and Il woman by the name above
| given. The conclusion arrived at is
that the newspaper liar is again
abroad in the land.
