throughout the evening and the fact
that he was forced to play without an
accompanist was another source of
annoyance
But Theobaldi trfumphed sufficient
ly over those difficulties to give the
audience a very tolerable idea of the
nature of his talent.
Apparently he has deliberately
chosen to win violin honors in the
Snowy, the spectacular and the bizarre
rather than in the legitimate field, for
frequently last night he drew from his
violin some beautiful tones, which
showed ability for better things. His
technique for the left hand, as welt
as the right, is rather remarkable and
his bowling excellent Last evening he
played, among other things, "a Visit
TO the Mountain, by ole Bull, and
Home From the Mountain" one of
his own compositions. Both of these
numbers permitted him to introduce
a variety of limitations, of birds.

WANT AN ADVISORY BOARD.
Largest School District in United
States Too Much for One Man.

Representative Cole yesterday in
the house introduced a bill providing
for the election of town superintend-
ents of schools in Cass county.
The introduction of the Cole bill
brings to light the location of the larg-
est school district in the United States
and an interesting view of one portion
of the nations bulwark." The whole
county of Cass is In one big school
district operating under the common
school law.
There are sixty-five schools in the
district which has proved too big for
successful administration by one man
in so far as that management touches
the purchase of supplies and the en-
plcyment of teachers.
The citizens of the county are we'll
pleased with the common school
scheme, and do not desire to split up
their big district, but they do want
one citizen Of each town elected to the
position of town superintendent,
which, according to the provisions of
the bill, will make him a member of
a general advisory board and permit of
a closer scrutiny in the matter of ex-
penditures and the selection of teach
ers.

House Will Not Establish Precedent
for RaiIroadinq Local Measures.

The house yesterday again sat upon
a movement which might tend to es-
tablish a railroading precedent by re-
fusing to suspend the rules and give a
local measure immediate passage.
The bill in question was introduced
by Mr. Lightly, Mower county, and
seeks the repeal of the special law gov
erning compensation of Mower county
officers. The enactment of the bill
cannot affect other counties, and the
Mower county citizens are anxious to
get under the provisions of the gem
eral law.
Mr.. Lightly explained his bill and
asked for suspension of the rules. All
the members heard on the subject
were perfectly willing to admit that
the measure was meritorious and
harmless, but with few exceptions in
sisted that deviation from the rule in
a case of slight Importance might. es-

Another bill to amend the present

The expected fight for the four-year

Ramsey.
The present contract, which expires
IN March, is held by Frank Dufresne,

mittee and chairman of the committee
on rules, introduced a bill authorizing
the secretary of state to renew the
contract. The bill was once reported
favorably, but now appears to be still
in the possession of the judiciary COM
mittee.
The contract is evidently a good
thing, and the other law book publish
ing concerns do not mean to let it go
without a fight. Yesterday Mr.. Chin
mock introduced bill authorizing the
award of a six-year contract for the
work to the Keefe- Davidson corcern,

still another bill will be presented in
behalf of the West Publishing COM

for wear at the last session; but in his
latest plan to keep the companies in

has a bill less liable to excite ridicule

someone uncomfortable.
The Peterson bill makes a maximum
charge of % cents for messages of ten

cents per word is made the maximum
charge for messages in excess of ten
words. In every case the receiving
