A FINE CONCERT.
An Interesting Program is Rendered
at the Congregational Church.

An Interesting Program is Rendered
at the congregational Church.
The much talked of sold Folks
Con cert" came off last evening in the
assembly room on the lower floor of
the Congrega church. It was
attended by between three and four
hundred people, an audience which
was enthusiastic over the selections
presented and the delightful way in
which they were rendered by the
chorus and the quartet and the solo
lists. One pleasing feature was the
variety in the character of the num-
bers on the program. Ye old people,
including Uncle Joe, "a years old, ac-
Quilted themselves splendidly, and so
we'll preserved did they appear that no
one would suppose them to be so anci-
ent. The costumes were unique and
some of them handsome and adorned
some dignihed and handsome old
folks. The minuet and the rendering
OF How Grandma Danced the Min
net" by two young misses, were
charming. The ancient spinet be-
longing to Mr.. Louis Theirs and more
than hundred years old, was a verit-
able curiosity. The printed program
was an elaborate and novel affair and
well worth keeping for reference in
time to come.
Some two hundred or more patron
lied the lunch counte S, which were
a taking feature of the evening as
was the social time in the upper par
1ors. The stage arrangements were
complete, and taken altogether, the
affair was great success and many
have been the urgent calls for
repetition after Easter.

HART GETS THE DECISION
Fight with a Negro Boxer Goes the Limi
Before a "White Mans Crowd"
Evidently.

San Francisco, March 29.-Marvir
Hart was awarded the decision over
Jack Johnson in a twenty round con
test that went the limit, but he was
far from demonstrating that he is quail
flied to meet jim Jeffries. Hart was as
badly punished a man as has been seen
in the ring in a long time, but he was
game to the core, and kept boring into
the big colored man all through the
fight.
Johnson's much vaunted cleverness
did not count for much. While he was
able to hit Hart frequently his blows
did not seem to damage the white mar
from Kentucky. The sympathies of the
large crowd were openly with Hart
and the referee said he awarded the
fight as he did because Hart did al
the leading, and any old kind of lead
by Hart set the crowd wild.

FOUR MEN AT THE FRONT
Roosevelt, LaFollette, Deneen and Folk
the Leaders of the Common Peo-
p1e, Says Jerome.


New York, March 20. Governor
Joseph w. Folk, of Missouri, was the
guest of honor and the principal speak
er at a banquet of the Missouri society
at the Waldorf-Astoria At the right
of the governor sat District Attorney
Jerome, who also made a brief adj
dress. Governor Folk said among 9TH
er things that the Missouri idea was
the enforcement of the law; if the law
be bad repeal, not ignore, it; because
disregard for law breeds disrespect for
law. Speaking of his anti-bribery bill
which forces all witnesses to testify,
which he compared to the Bowling bill
secured by Jerome, he declared that
if it were passed there would BEN
more bribery in Missouri
District Attorney Jerome said:
There are four men today upon whom
the attention Of the United States is
riyeted Roosevelt, LaFollette, Govern
or Deneen and Governor Folk. These
men have had the plain people behind
them and will continue to have them
SO long as the people believe they stand
on their honesty"

City Clerk Harrington Decides
That Only Candidates Filing
Petitions go on Ballot.
SLATER SAID PUT EN- ALL ON
Decision of the Clerk Will Leave Many
Vacancies on the Ticket, But it
is in Keeping With the
Reading Of the Law.

City Clerk Harrington this morn
ing announced his decision in regard
to the names to go on the ballot for
the coming city election, and as a re-
suit of this announcement only the
names of candidates who had filed
petitions before the primaries will APP
pear on the ballot. This ruling is in
keeping with that of the board of
canvassers and with the opinion of
the attorney general of the state. Il.
Before the final decision IN the
matter was made by the clerk the city
attorney, John c. Slater, was asked
to give his opinion in the mater.
Attorney Slater held that while it was
his opinion that the ruling of the at
torney general was strict interpre-
tation of the law, yet he held that the
clerk would be justified in putting all
of the names on the ballot. In speak
ing of this today Attorney Slater said
that the action of the clerk was liable
to cause trouble and litigation as
many of the voters in the city knew
that other candidates had been voted
for at the primaries, and that they
wou1d insist that these names be
placed on the ballot. IF the law is
any good" said Mr.. Slater, ssthe
opinion of the general attorney seems
to me to be a good one, but I do not
believe that there would be a great
deal of kicking if the names of the
candidates were all placed on the bal
lott
The decision Of the clerk will result
in there being many vacancies, and
both parties will suffer. The Repub-
licans will not be able to have can
didate for the office of assessor, and
John Langan is assured the Office
without opposition. On the other
hand it looks as if the Democrats
would be forced to lose the control of
the board of education, and possibly
the city council on account of the fact
that the party will not have candi-
dates ID several of the wards.
The candidates who have been de-
MED place on the ticket by this
ruling Of the clerk are planning to
make every effort to secure an election
without having their names on the
ballot. ''Pasters" are being printed
for use in some Of the wards, but it is
probable that strenuous effort will be
made to prevent their use as it is al
legged the use of such pastors is
against the Australian ballot law.
The voters are of course privileged
to write IN any name they may see fit,
but ii is feared that the voters will not
be sufficiently willing to take this
trouble to secure the election of men
TO a minor office.
There has been some talk of injunc-
tons against the clerk to force him to
place names on the ballot, but it is
hardly possible that such action will
be taken.
The ballot will go to the printer on
Thursday or Friday and all protests
must be made before that time.

UNTI STILL KISSING.
No Trace of Fruit Dealer Wanted on
Charge of Assault.

No trace has as yet been found of
Dominick Unit, the Main street fruit
dealer, who is wanted on charge Of
assaulting A. w. Greimer with intent
to do great bodily harm. It's thought,
however, that Unit is in hiding in the
city, and that he will surrender him
self to the officers in due time.
Theodore Lencioni, the partner OF
Unit, stated today that he did not
know where he was, but intimated
that he would return at the proper
time. Mr.. Lencioni said that the
fight with Greiner had been caused
by the fact that the Chicago man was
attempting to collect a bill which had
already been paid.
