HANDEL'S "MESSIAH'
Given with Success at Our Savior's Nor.
wegian Lutheran Church.

A meritorious performance Of Handels
messiah" was given at Our Savior's Nor
wegian Lutheran church last evening" by
the choral society of the church. The
chorus numbered only eighty five voices,
but it was quite large enough for the au-
ditOrlum and easily filled it. AS the great
majority Of the voices were unframed the
general work was remarkably good, par
ticularly that Of the female voices. They
sang with confidence and spirit and the ex-
cellent manner in which the sopranos
sustained the high notes was much COM
mented upon. All in all the chorus is en-
titled to praise and also the director, ia
cob L. Hjort
The solos were by Mrs Maud Ulme1
Jones, soprano; Miss Margaret l<vittum
contra1to: Jacob L. Hjort, tenor and AL
fred r. Wiley, basso, with Miss Anna Pc.
tersen at the piano and Heinrich Gunner.
sen at the organ. These accomplished
singers and musicians acquitted them.
selves in a highly satisfactory manner
and but for the rule of the church pro-
hibiting applause all would have been lib
orally rewarded. 1t was a difficult matter
| for many Of those present to bear the pro
hibitive clause in mind when certain bits
of work richly deserved some token of ap.
probation. The soloists were unusually
earnest and sympathetic in heir parts
which added greatly to the general effect
and were in excellent voice besides.

Loss Of Prestige.

Board and Presidents Meet to Consider
Loss Of Prestige.
Members of the state normal school
board. and presidents Of the normal
schools Of the state, in session at the
state capitol yesterday afternoon, agreed
that the normal schools were losing pres
tige in the state and were being crowded
out of the educational system by the high
schools and the state university. Out of
the discussion came the appointment of
a. committee to confer with the university
regents and the state high school board, to
endeavor to bring the normal schools in
closer touch with the other institutions.
The committee consists Of G. A. Morey
Of Winona, w. S. Hammond of St. James,
S. G. Comstock of Moorhead, and J. w.
Olsen, state superintendent.
President Shoemaker of the st. Cloud
normal school proposed pla nfor a post
graduate course in the normal schools, to
be given advanced graduates with one
years successful experience. This he
thought would do away with the present
discrimination in favor of university
graduates as teachers in the high schools

Charles and Henry Nelson, the Ovation
ma boys under death sentence for the
murder of Henry Krier, have filed appli-
cations with the state board of pardons,
asking that their penalty be commuted to
life Imprisonment. The first ground of
the application is the youth of the prison
ers, who are now only 10 and II years old.
1t is also urged that the evidence on
which they were convicted was of doubtful
and contradictory character, and that evil

show their innocence. The good conduct
of the boys since their arrest is also re-

FREE COAL ON PACIFIC COAST.

It was to he expected that there
would be dissatisfaction on the Pacific
coast with the removal of the duty on
coal. the duty having been imposed
mainly for the protection Of the coal in
dustry of that section. The Seattle
Post-Intelligencer says that the action
of congress amounts to the giving Of a
bounty of not less than a million dollars
a year to the coal operators Of British
Columbia, to encourage them TO take
away, with coal mined with Chinese
labor, the market for coal mined by
American white labor in the state of
Washington. 1t adds that large boun-
ties, amounting in the aggregate to
probably more than this. will also be
given to Australian and British mine
operators to encourage them to food
the Pacific coast with coal, brought in
as ballast for wheat ships, to the com.
plete destruction of the American coal
mining industry of the coast.
We are inclined to think that the
somewhat
ates the danger to the coal industry of
that section. Undoubtedly it will be
injured to an extent by the removal of
the duty, but We do not believe there is
n good reason to apprehend its COM
plete destruction. If a duty of 81 cents
a ton has been sufficient to enable that
industry to develop and prosper, it is
hardly reasonable to suppose that it
will be ruined by taking of that amount
of duty. However, the removal of h
tariff on coal al demanded by an over-
whelming public sentiment extending
from the Atlantic to the Rocky noun
tains and no discrimination could be
made in behalf of the Pacific coast In
dustry. Perhaps the action Of congress
will not prove as beneficial as expected.
but 1t was compelled by extraordinary
and 1t is doubtful If there
will ever again be a duty on COAL

What They Are Saying and Doing

To anyone in Laramie annoyed

consequents which follow in the wake
OF that far too prevalent trouble, kid

should prove of untold value:
Mr.. Leroy Grant, state auditor, with
Offices in the state capitol. residence
22l4 Capitol venue, Cheyenne. Wye,
gave the following for publication in
the month of May, 1899. 1t is exactly
as Mr.. Grant expressed himself, and
should be doubly interesting when
confirmed in an interview consider
ably ove three years after it first ap-
peared in the Cheyenne papers. Mr..
Grant said. Il am not counting pub

brought unequivocal benefit. When
there are SO many preparations on the
market, all claiming especial merit, a
sufferer is in doubt as to which to Sc

facts, | advise anyone annoyed with
backache or weakened or o~vereXcited
kidneys to try Doan's Kidney Pills.
They will not be disappointed" In
the month OF November, 1902, Mrs.
Leroy Grant confirmed the above as
follows: Mr.. Grant gave for publica-
ton in May, 1899, a statement about
Doan's Kidney Pills. During the three
years and a half which have passed
that statement has repeatedly ap-
peared in the Cheyenne papers, and
Mr.. Grant has never lost an oppor-
tunity of corroborating it in personal
interviews. We have told a great
many people that dependence could
be placed on Doan's Kidney Pills. and
we know of quite a few cases where
the treatment brought decidedly sat.
