ed to the gypsy love song which he
rendered. The illustrated poem, sRo-
nance of the Ganges. presented some
very pleasing tableaux, we'll costumed
and we'll acted by the young ladies
giving 1t. This was followed by the
violin solo OF little John Mcdonald,
years old, In his first appearance before
an Elk Point audience. He gave Krog-
mann's Lullaby, Op. 15 in a modest
yet confident manner. There was the
closest attention and enthusiastic APP
plause. On recall he played simple
piece, his work, when considered In
connection with his age, being truly
wonderful. The military drills by
sixteen young girls, in charge Of Miss
Koch, attracted the closest attention
and was very creditable piece Of
work. The male quartette was whole
minstrel show In itself and a good one.
Part II was minstrel show, with be-
dizened coons, checkerboard stockings,
burnt cork and all the watermelon and
sunhower accomplishments. Some of
the evOlutiOns and ebullitions OF these
local Snowballs and Lily Whites would
have found favor with Primrose s.

and funny quips scintillated forth over

great briney tears and then wondered
what 1t all meant. 1t was good to be
there, SO it was. If anything it was
too much Of good thing, as some of
the local grinds were little gritty and
the program as whole continued too

aration, and would have been regard
ed as most creditable production in
many town Of greater size and pre-
tensions than Elk Point.

Mr.. William NJ. Chase, the New York
artist who was one OF the very few
real friends the late James Abbott Mac.
Nell Whistler ever possessed, says that
ne was once demonstrating with that
eccentric artist with reference to his
unjustifiably beIligerent attitude to
nearly everything and everybody. Mr..
Chase himself had on more than one
occasion been a target for the friend
ship breaking remarks of the author of
THE Gentle Art Of Making Enemies. y
so It was with some warmth that he
remarked to Whistler:
Really, must say you are incorri-
gible. 1t would seem that with Won.
Whistler, there Is never i time to bury
the Ratchet.

Whistler in the blandest way, There

ing quite generally letter from Dick
Richards to the Sioux Citn Journal
claiming that the Journal refused to
publish 1t. Now be fair, boys. The
Journal published the letter Feb. 9th
and has published several letters from
the president and secretary of the Pri-
mary League, who have been very
active in keeping the matter before
the public. In this connection 1t might
be mentioned that several primary
organs, including one OF our North End
contemporaries, are still circulating
the ancient and false report that the
attorney general had endorsed the en-
tire competency Of the primary petit
ton. All that Attorney General Hall
did was to express his opinion that the
petition came before the legislature In
a regular manner; as to the compe-
tency of the petition under the law he
has expressed no opinion. The legisla-
ture has passed on this proposition, the
senate voting ''no" and the house
''yes," the reports Of both committees
OF the senate being found In full In the
COURIER Of two weeks ago. II is we'll
worth the while Of all our readers who
are interested in the matter to look up
these reports, which give both sides Of
the matter, and read them carefully.

There has been no evidence put for

state will look for the hoofs and horns

that an honest difference OF opinion

equally applicable to Polk and Yam.

counties are represented in this con-

mere statements of fact will be con-

This county enjoys the distinction
of having the best business and finan-

Indebtedness, either in thu form of
warrants or bonds and this has been
the case for a number of years. On
March l, 1905, there was cash in the
treasury amounting to $63,33s.l2. The
current revenues for the year, 1905,
will amount to $S3,S3415 for county
purposes. Deducting the estimated
current expenses of $4,000, we would
