Mrs. Mckay's Recital.


The music pupils of Mrs. Katherine
Mckay, assisted by Prof. Axelson, the
violinist and Mrs. Mckay, gave re-
|cital at the Presbyterian church last
night to an appreciative audience of
good size.
The first number. Charge of The
Cavalry, by Misses Viola Mcconnell,
Laura Make, Marie Lewis and Sadie
Martin, 1.-TWO pianos) was rendered
with. dash and precision. -s--
Misses Ruth Smock, Louise Spur
lock, Lulu Barnett, Grace Geyer and
Josephine Smith, all very young girls,
surprised and pleased everyone with
their excellent performance in play
ing yellow Jonquils." The first three
named playing 1st piano and the last
two assisted by Mrs. Mckay playing
End piano.
Mrs FinIay sang "In Seville" diff
ficult selection. creditably, her voice
showing decided flexibility.
The piano solo "Serenade, by Jen-
sen, meritorious selection, was
played by Miss Viola Mcconnell in
a most pleasing manner.
Little Miss Grace Geyer delighted
the audience with her piano solo
"Sambo and His Banjo"
Prof. Axelson's violin solo, "Mazur-
ka de Concert" by Musin, accompan-
led by Mrs. Mckay, was the treat of
the evening and the audience show
ed it's appreciation by most persist

ded with bow.
and Walters was an arrangement of
"Il Trovatore" by Blake. The aud
ience showed it's appreciation by
hearty applause.

ing effect. the selection being dific-
cult. One of the commendable char
acteristics of Miss Rabb's singing, is
the unusual distinctness with which
she pronounces all her words-a rare
accomplishment. In response to pro

the piano was particularly noticeable
in her rendition of Chopin's "Polon-
aise." Her technique is excellent.

by Parks. sung by Mrs. Johnson, Mis-
ses Finlay and Rabb, and Mrs. Mckay
was well received by the audience.
Misses Walters and Hobson closed
the program with Home. Sweet
Home" 1.-TWO pianos.)
Perhaps the only criticism that
! could justly be made. would be to
say that throughout the program gi-
ven by the pupils there was q lack of
expression. Bnt that can often be ac-
counted for in part by the embarrass
ment from which the performers suf-
fer when appearing in public. A com
Imendnble feature was the excellent

DeS MOineS, Iowa, May 4.-The

selection of delegates at large to the
ST. Louis convention is in session
here today. The outlook is for a close
contest between the supporters and
Hearst people, recognizing the politi.
cal importance of Iowa, set to work

thoroughly did they do their work
that they obtained victory for the
time being at least over the conserva-

set for the state convention. The
Hearst supporters in Iowa are prac-
tically identical with those of Bryan,
while the opponents include substan-
TALLY all those who oppose Bryan
and his ideas. The anti-Hearst peO-

COTTON WAREHOUSE PLAN
Movement in Progress Designed to
Benefit the Cotton Planter.
A System of Cooperative Ware
houses Throughout the Southern
States in Contemplation.

st. Louis, Dec. 11.-Judge Eugene
Williams, of Waco, Tex, is in st. Louis
e~ndeavoring to interest local capital
list in the Texas cotton warehouse
scheme, which, he believes, will enable
the planter to fix the price of the sta
pie.
Judge Williams evolved the plan for
a system of warehouses throughout the
southern states, the planter, merchant
and capitalist cooperating, and he has
already secured the support of these
interests.
He hopes to secure financial assist
ance in st. Louis and believes it is only
a question of putting the proposition
concisely before the moneyed interests
to secure whatever backing is neces-
sary for the success of the venture.
His plan provides for the organiza-
ton of auxiliary companies in each
county Of the cotton-producing states
the relations of the several companies
being similar to those of the individ.
ual state to the national government.
He will discuss these plans in de-
tail with some of the local capitalists,
who have large interests in the cotton
producing states, and believes that
what has been done in the wheat mar
ket can be accomplished in cotton.
He proposes to have the cotton
stored in the warehouses, making the
consumer deal directly with the plant
er for the staple, the surplus staple Le-
ing carried over from season to sea-
son, if necessary. He believes that, in
this way, better and more uniform
prices will obtain.
