When the Banda Rosa visited st.

other in complimentary terms eX-
pressed on the playing of Conductor
SCREENINGS musicians. The papers
placed the Banda Rosa in rank
above Sousa's band. This is what
the St. Louis Dispatch has to
say:
"The Banda Rosa is a wonderful
organization. Its visit to St. Louis
is a notable musical event not only
for this season but for all seasons: for
peace to the ashes Of Gilmore and
the nerves of John Philip SOusa while
this IS being said-St. Louisans have
never before had an opportunity to

Not a note from any instrument is
only in the softer and gentler pass
ages that this pitch Of art is attained
but it is also preserved amid the crash
of brass and the roll Of drums. No
other band has eve maintained such
fine tonality in fortissimo.'
The Banda Rosa will play at the
corn palace in Mitchell during the
ten days it is open. 1t will be the
greatest musical engagement ever

outs III Minnesota.
outs III Minnesota.

The heavy rains of Friday night
played sad havoc with the Omaha
track in tie vicinity Of WorthinGton,
MINI. East and west Of that point
for a great distance the track was
washed away and trains have been
delayed. The passenger trains which
left here Friday night and Saturday
morning did not reach Worthington
and turned around at Luverne, reach
ing Mitchell all the way from five to
eight hours late. No St. Paul mail
was brought until Sunday evening,
when it was possible to transfer the
mail near Worthingtcn. Most of the
washouts were repaired and trains
we're able to be moved, when an &C.
cident happened a few miles west Of
Worthington. A freight train in pass
ing over the main line went down a
high %embankment that was weakenc
by the flood, and this caused the
greater delay. The engineer and fire
man just had time to Jump and save
their iiy-s as the engine left the
track. It is thought it that viii
take several days to fix the track be-
fore trains "a 60 through. In the
meantime passengers, mail and ex
press will be transferred.

the Last Resting Place by the
Side of Her Husband.

Impressive funeral services were
held over the remains of the late
Mrs. Frances 4. Foster at the Meth
odist church Saturday afternoon at 2
O'Clock. Owing to the unpleasant
ness of the weather all the friends
were unble to attend, although the
church was fairly we'll filled. Some
appropriate music was furnished by
the choir composed Of Misses Windle
and Lathrop and Messrs. R. N.
| Kratz and H. c. Clark. The floral
tributes were many and beautiful.
These silent messengers expressed a
love and reverence on the part of
many friends of the deceased, who
in life was a woman who was revered
for her many noble qualities of heart
and mind, and whose pleasant nat
ure and genial ways were appreciated
by all who came in contact with
her. The Rev. T. Fl. Youngnlan
conducted the services. omltting,
however, the preaching Of a sermon.
He read a touching eulogy and his
torical sketch of the life Of this
good woman, which is printed in
part below:
