Reserved seats are now on sale at Ash 8
for the browning attraction of the Lect-
ure and Entertainment Course, the Star
Concert Company, at Royal Hall, Mon
day evening" Jan. 18th. Read what 9th
ers say of these talented singers and
musicians:
miss Delight Barsch, the soprano,
possesses a voice of rare culture and
power. Her numbers were rendered
faultlessly.' Racine Daily Journal.
''Miss Tarrant, the gifted harpist,
pleased everybody. A harp makes beau
tiful music, no stringed instrument is
sweeter, and Miss Tarrant knew how to
get the sweetest strains from it. She
was loudly and frequently encored."-
Ludington Mich Daily Mail.
Especially to be noted on the program
at the Studebaker theater concert was
the rendering of the dramatic My Heart
at thy Sweet Voice from Saint Saens'
Samson and Deliah.' She sang with a
deep, powerful voice in a manner most
artistic. Miss Olson possesses a most
charming stage appearance and manner,
which, added to rich contralto voice,
captivated her audience. Chicago
Tribune.
"Mr. Kuss gave a fine sample of his
singing. his varied program showing his
fine voice to wonderful advantage. He
has a we'll -modulated, sonorous voice,
and sings with the greatest ease. His
style is the most commendable and he
won the heartiest applause. After his
seasons abroad he comes with he high
est recommendations, none of which are
over estimated at all" Peoria (Illinois)

O.. R. Pomeroy has been spending the
week in the Kickapoo valley.
&c. Tallard visited the tobacco trade
of Milwaukee in the interests of the New
York firm which he represents.
G. r. Bentley has had several confer
ences with the insurance adjusters dur
ing the week in reference to the settle
ment of the tobacco loss which he re-
Gently sustained at Whitewater. There
seems to be no reason why the insurance
should not be paid in full.
Adjusters for the different insurance
companies interested have settled in full
with M. c. Green for losses sustained by
him in the burning of the Kittilsen ware
house at Stoughton several months ago,
where he was doing business and had
tobacco stored.
The contempt proceedings begun
against the sheriff of Dane county grow
ing out of a replevin of tobacco in the
custody of the receiver of Suffer Bros
property at Madison, has been dropped
pending decision of the courts regard
ing the ownership of the tobacco in
question.
Henry Miller, who owns the west half
of warehouse No. at Stoughton, is hav-
ing steam heating system placed in the
building. Two rooms upstairs are being
part toned off for sweating the leaf
when it may be desirable. CulImans
Bros. & Co. of New York are lessees of
the warehouse from Mr. Miller and their
local agents are Walter and Al Schroede.
O. X. Roe left Thursday for De Forest
to look after his tobacco interests in that
section. Mr.. Roe has purchased about
1000 acres of the new crop at the aver
age price of 71a&2c and is eagerly wait
ing for case weather in order to open up
his warehouses where 200 sorters will be
employed. -Stoughton Courier
There was special meeting of the
Wisconsin Tobacco Growers Association
held in Lund's hall in this village last
Wednesday afternoon which was very
we'll attended. The meeting was called
to order by the president S. Haight.
Several subjects were brought up for
discussion, principally raising sugar
beets on a couple of acres of the tobacco
land, thus cutting down the crop proper
tionately that much. The building of
tobacco sheds also came in for quite a
lengthy discussion, the principal point
of interest seemed to be conferred upon
the farmers owning Or leasing a ware
house, hire competent foreman and
manager and have their tobacco all as
sorted under his supervision, thereby
having it more uniformly put up. This
subject was not fully discussed and will
be brought up at the annual meeting
which will be held two weeks hence.
The farmers seemed very much interest
ed in the meeting and it is to be hoped
that there will be large attendance at
the next meeting.-Cam bridge News.
