Back In Its Old Channel.

Crooked creek is to be turned back
in it's original channel, and the work
of building u dixie for that purpose
was begun Wednesday by George
Clauson, who is driving a lot OF piling
where the creek cut through. Mrs.
CARRIER receives $500 for the privilege
OF turning the creek back, $500 to lie
paid by the creamery company and
800 by the city, The city also agrees
to do the work and maintain the dixie
The dam at LindseJ's ice house will
be kept open during the period when
high waters are frequent, and in this
way it is hoped to avoid danger of the
creek again changing its course
There has been some criticism of
the council for taking action in the
matter without consulting the wishes
of the taxpayer, and some doubt has
been expressed as to whether the city
had the right to eXpend money for
improvements outside the city limits
However. when the time comes for
building a sewer, the city will need
the creek for a drain, and turning the
creek back will greatly shorten the
length of the sewer to be built, and
will more than repay the present out
lay.
Aside from this, the fact that We
were in danger of losing the creamery
unless they could secure a suitable
drainage is sufficient excuse to war
rant the step taken.

r. Bruce Payne, formerly of this

What the "Star" Thinks About II.

Frank Barker, the Webster county
double murderer, may be tried again
and sentenced to death. Barker was
tried and convicted for numbering his
brother, Daniel Barker, but never was
tried for the murder of his sister-in-
law, Daniels wife.
Since the reprieve Of the murderer
several Webster county papers, and
others who are clamoring for Barker's
death, have insisted that Gov. Mickey
pardon the murderer and that he i'm
mediately be re.arrestedsand tried on
the second murder charge. If Webster
county really desires that Barker be
tried again it will be necessary to par.
don him. The county attorney can
proceed to trial on the second charge
and il found guilty and again con.
demned to death he can be legally
hanged without the present reprieve
interfering in any manner Attorney
G neral Norris Brown and Deputy
Attorney General Thompson are of the
opinion that the present sentence in
no way would interfere with the second
trial and carrying out the sentence.

The Circus.

Quite a large crowd was in town last
Saturday to attend Halls United
Wagon Shows. While the show was
about the smallest we have ever seen
in the circus line, the work of the
actors was tirst-class and everyone
seemed to enjoy the entertainment.
One particularly nice feature Of the
show was that there was no gambling
or grating in connection with it.

but not what WAS wanted by the mu-
scum.
II was only 35 years ago the museum
was started, started in a very small
way. Its present large proportions are
found inadequate for to-day's needs,
and the structure is to be greatly en-
larged. An addition in the way of a
north wing is to be built soon, and on
its completion a south wing will be
added; the building will then have a
frontage Of 1000 1eet on Fifth avenue.
But the museum as proposed in en-
tirety, will be four times the size of the
structure after these wings are built.
The late Richard Hunt made plans for
a building covering eight acres Of
ground, one Of the largest buildings
ever designed by an architect. If the
building as proposed will ever be COM
peted it is difficult to say; some place
the time for such completion at so
years. At present the work is pro-
crossing in portions the architects car

galleries. il is on the eve of becoming
the greatest general institution of the
sort on earth-auperio to the South
kensington museum as a treasury Of
paintings, eclipsing the great Cluny
museum (Paris) as storehouse Of

end quite oyershadowing any existing
museum in size" And the Times
writer adds: Last but not least, the
new Metropolitan director is ambitious
for and is working toward the estab-
lishment of a New York salon which
shall rival that of Paris"
Sir Caspar builds his hopes on foun-
dations that appear or some certain
stability. He asserts that the Ameri-
cans are essentially a creative people,
that while this faculty has heretofore
shown expression in great commercial
and engineering accomplishments,
gradually the people, with possession
of wealth and leisure, are evincing in
telligent and absorbing interest in the
arts. He calls attention to the sue
cess of American artists abroad, and
lays emphasis on the statement that
ere long they will be content to remain
at home, will not have to 90 abroad
in search of inspiration to the best
effort. And he asserts that our art pa
irons are not the ignoramuses the car
icaturist likes to picture, but that they
are becoming able to give expert criti-
cism of the really good in art Their
long purses have got them good adj
visers. they have not been SLOW in
taking instruction.
The Metropolitan museum has been
criticised severely and often as mu-
scum housing much spurious art but
the new director tells us this may be
said of all similar places abroad. In
taking up his new work, the director
does not belittle what has been done,
speaks warmly thereof. He calls at
tention Of the public to the museum S
rich treasures, he is doing his utmost,
to make these treasures populsr-that
is to make people of all classes ac-
quainted with them. He gives this ex-
preston to his sentiments: In my
experience the best and surest way to
cultivate a national appreciation for
good art is to familiarize the masses Of
the people with the best creations. En-
courage them. do not antagoniza
them" The museum is open to rho
tographers .esiring to make copies Of
celebrated creations. students are made
welcome who wish to copy tile work
Of the masters.

Some day. we are promised by Sir
CasDar Purdon Clarke, our artists need
not seek the prestige of the Paris salon
as they do now, for there will be a
New York salon of highest standing.
Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke is the
noted EngliShmau that has recently
assumed the duties of director OF the
Metropolitan museum in New York.
Sir Caspar won fame and llnighthood
in building up the noted South Ken
eington museum, art center of Eng
land, and when Gen. di Cesnola died
and the question arose as of the right
man 10 take his place at the head Of
The New ork art museum, Sir Caspar
was the man agreed upon. OF course,
good Americans asked if there were no
competent art directors in this cOun-
try, if it were really necessary to go
abroad to find some one for the post;
but the choice seems so generally sat
sfactory as to have hushed the patri-
Rtic outburst. Sir Caspar Clarke is a
ulan of most enviable reputation in his
tiald of work, and though he can count
his years up to almost three-score he
retains his enthusiasms, overfows with
energy. Under his rule great things
are expected for the Metropolitan.
And he frankly forecasts great things.
This is what this man of enthusiasm
and experience declares. as reported by
a representative of the New York
Times:

Euseum) with the best of foreign art

be told: A liyeryman, whose livery

1t pleased him nightly; he had found
the way to place whore there was
much of interest for him, he promised
himself 10 repeat the pleasure.
Sir Caspar desires to stimulate the
artists of the country, and proposes
competitive exhibitions some to be
held at the museum and many to be
held elsewhere. In time he expects to
see competitive exhibitions established
in every American city with a popu-
Carnegie awards in the Pittsburg art
competition have brought forth some
excellent work. ard if competitive eX-
hibltions were to be scattered as widely
as Sir Caspar desires, unquestionably
a great stimulus would be given artists
the country over. 1t would seem the
Englishman after all was the right
man for this democratic country, a
man with earnest belief in the democ-
racy of art.
