NEW ORGAN DELIGHTS
Fine instrument Is Dedicated by Beth
lehem Norwegian Lutheran Church.

Members Of the Bethlehem Norwe-
gian Lutheran church, Eighteenth street
and Fourteenth avenue S, are thoroly
delighted with their new pipe organ,
which they heard for the first time last
evening. It is not as large as some Of
the instruments in the city, but for
sweetness of tone and responsiveness
is probably not excelled. 1t is from
the works of George Kilgen & Son, st.
Louis. It's excellent qualities were well
displayed by George Kessel, under
whose deft fingers the big instrument
produced splendid effect. 1t has sing
ing quality rarely found in an orgen.
Among the numbers presented were
Webber s overture, Batiste's g grand
offertoire, est. Cecelia,' and " Aase s
DeathO by Grieg. Organ and piano ar,
rangement Of Won Suppe's. '.Poet and
ramide,' by Messrs. Kessel and s. =.
Moist, were particularly well received.
Mr.. Moist, who is Chicago artist, had
brilliant command of the piano, and
the unique duets were unusually good
for that class Of work.
The organ numbers were varied with
selections by the Arion Male quartet,
Miss Jennie Anderson, soprano; A. j.
Gahring, tenor, and Archie Tull, bass.
Miss Birdie Anderson was the accom-
panist. Miss Anderson sang Angels
Ever Bright and Fair by Handel,
and "Oh, Eyes that Are Weary by
r. H. Bracket. She has a pure, clear
soprano voice, which she handles with
good Judgment. Mr.. Tull has q bass

the way the Armour grain business is

Jne way the Armour gram business Is
conducted.
Naturally it would be asked what pro-
tections there are against leaks. There
are no projections, for there are no leaks.
One may meet well-informed, high-sal-
aried Armour men, holding responsible
positions, who come in contact with
the head of their house daily. One
might wonder how he can be sure that
these men are proof against the pres
sure from the outside for information
concerning the Armour plans. The
head of the house worries little about
this, for these men do not know his
mind. His confidential agents in other
markets do not know it. There are
times, of course, when it is to his inter
est to make known his plans to his
agents, perhaps to the general trade,
but always he reserves the right to
change his mind at any moment with
out notice. .0
When the markets are on decline,
and the last open expression heard from
the Armour house was bullish, and the
last known market operations were on
the buying side, natural Inference
breeds the story Of big losses. Yet no
one can tell.
There is much bigger question than
the mere market operations Of large
firm, back of the recent market changes
There is the question of the decline
of Chicago as wheat market. When
December wheat began to be tradee
in, some time earlier in the, year, wheat
was moving freely to Minneapolis, ane
Chicago was getting practically none
Prices in Minneapolis favored the ship
per. But the Armours control eleva
tors in Chicago with at least $4,000,
900 bushels storage capacity. TO have
them standing idle would be to los'
heavily. Armour began to bull Decem
Der wheat. Chicago advanced more
proportionately, than Minneapolis, an(
after some weeks the thing had SHIFTED
about. Chicago and Duluth, which i
in some degree a feeder of Chicago
began to draw the wheat, and Mime
apolis has been falling behind. This
} of course, is temporary. The close o
navigation on the lakes will throw tn
movement this way again.
Meanwhile, however, Armour bough
some millions of wheat for Decembe
delivery, which has since been goln
; into Chicago. Without doubt thi
wheat, as fast as bought, was hedge
by sales Of May. Armour then has i
bought for December delivery to hlr
and sold for May delivery to others a
; prices 3 to cents higher, which is

l and seeing the prices now sagg1ns

TICKET RUSH EXPECTED
AIl-Star Offering at Auditorium Com
mands Great Interest.

The all-star course-whieh includes
Sara Bernhardt, Calve, Nordica. Walter
Damrosch and the New York Symphony
orchestra and other big attractions-to
be given at the Auditorium has aroused
immense interest. A big demand for
course tickets is predicted when the
sale opens Monday morning at 9 o clock
at the Metropolitan Music company's
store. In an effort to prevent specula--
tion in tickets as much as possible, the
number any one person may purchase
at one time has been limited to six. The
fact that purchasers of course tickets
are enabled to hear the entire series of
eight star entertainments for the
amount that is usually asked for two
or three events of similar nature is
partly responsible for the indications
that there will be a rush for tickets.
Another reason is that course ticket
BUYERS have the first choice of seats
and need to make only one visit to the
box office during the entire season.

Ballot Reform.

1t is little surprising to see the New
York Times commencing the ballot
reformers and supporting the PROPOSE
tion to do away with party emblems on
the ballot, and yet standing for what
is known as the party column. 1t ad-
mits that for a man who can read, the
party emblem is superfluous, butsit still
adheres to the idea that the names of
candidates ought to be arranged on the
ticket without being required to can
vass the merits of every candidate on
the ballot. In ordinary elections, the
Times says, the party column enables
95 per cent of the voters to cast
their ballots by making one cross mark.
This it regards as convenience which
is not to be done away with, nor should
ballot reformers, in the Judgment of the
Times, fail to give due consideration to
the interests of the voters who are not
independent but partizan. sls
In Minnesota we haven It had ticket
arranged with the party column fol
more than fifteen years. Our Austria

der Of the office to be voted for-all the
candidates for the leading office in ont
| division, all the candidates for anothe!
office in another division. The vote:
must not only be able to read, but h'
must go down the ticket and vote fo
candidate for every office, or hi
vote will not be counted for that office
He may also vote for republican can
didate for one office and a democratic
candidate for another. He is give1
every liberty Of choice, as he ought t.
be, and absolute secrecy as to how h
votes. This assumes, of course, rea
sonable degree Of intelligence and edu
cation on the part of the voter, but bal
lot reformers are bound to insist upo]
such qualifications. If the Times ia
vors real ballot reform it should STAN
for the Australian ballot and for the re
quirement that the voter mark the nam
of each candidate for whom he wishe
! to vote. -

The Armour Influence in Wheat.

Much has been printed at times about
the winnings and losings of the younger
Armour in the wheat pit. Of late, there
has been a run of stories to the effect
that he has been hit for another mil
lion or two. It may well be doubted
whether there is anything to this.
The Armour firm was built up to it's
Importance by the father Of the present
Armour, unquestionably one of the
ablest men in his day in the commerce
Of the west. Beginning as packer,
he, first raised his establishment to a
place Of predominence. AS his income
grew, reinvestment took him into va
rious other lines. The Armour inter-
ests in the Illinois Trust & Savings
bank and in the Chicago, Milwaukee
Z & st. Paul road are very important,
and there are many other great cor
porations carrying their share of Ar
mour money. Among other things, he
broke into the grain trade. He became
factor of first Importance, both in a
legitimate way, and in the speculative
division of the market The house has
not lost its prestige in this respect.
Today the first question a wheat trader
would ask himself, in the event of a
decided turn in market affairs, would be,
What is the attitude Of Armour? Just
as Standard Oil, or Rockefeller inter.
ests. are Of great Importance in the con-
sideration Of anything having to do
with big affairs in finance, so the Ar
mour interests have to be considered in
wheat.
Who knows about the Armour affairs

Valentines have allied themselves by
marriage with the house Of Armour
One Valentine handles the financial
end, and the great packing interests
The other runs the grain end This
grain man, so far as anyone knows, il

of the markets. That he consults J
Ogden Armour, or is directed by him
is not generally believed in the grai1
trade. That one man should be trusted
to guide the firm thru the dangers O.

all responsibility upon himself, ma,

Foraker's Mind Working.

Senator Foraker has drawn a bill in
which he has tried to "meet the COM
plants against the present railway
conditions and at the same time avoid
comforting the rate-making power upon
the interstate commerce commission or
any similar body This is what Sena-
tor Foraker says is accomplishing what
the president desires in another way.
In another way! BY not accomplish

Perhaps the most significant thing
about this bill is that it is evidence
that the opposition senators are think.
