a most excellent rendition. The mu-
sic is rather dramatic in character
and Miss Lee put just the proper
amount of force into her voice to
bring it out grandly. In her other
selections her voice was used with
equally good judgment, and her sing
ing throughout the evening gave
great pleasure. Her accomplishments
were played by Miss Hazel Lathrop.
Miss Lee opened the program with a
piano selection, and appeared once
again in that way. AS a pianiste
she is skilled and has reached a high
state OF perfection. She plays with
grace, power and d~elicateness of
touch, and follows an Interpretation
OF a selection with an Unborn tuition.
Mr.. Barry appeared IN four selec-
tions ON the program in which he
showed IA fine range of playing. His
rendition OF kuJaWiak demonstrated
the depth of a powerful feeling in
bis work, producing the strong vi
brant chords in the selection and de-
noting an enthusiasm in his work.
Mr.. Barry played a selection of his
own composition, a pretty romantic
little thing. most of which was for
the bass strings Of the voilln. MI.
Barry is a valuable acquisition to
the musical circles OF the University
and of the city and it is ..to be hoped
that he will be heard frequently.
Prof. Lardner gave two readings,
the first being Aux Italiens, with
piano accompaniment, and on this
occasion he measured up to the high
standard that he has made in Mitch
ell in his elocution work.

The P. SIS Entertain.

On Saturday evening the ladies OF
the y. 5. club gave the first of a
series of entertainments for their hus-
andS at the home of Mrs. VIM. M.
Smith.
After the guests bad arrived, mys-
FERROUS parcels were distributed
which proved to be clever little fav-
ors by which the partners Of the
evening were determined. Some OF
the party went about with tiny lam
terms, Others blew whistles and pre-
tended to drink each others health
from miniature stems. When the
partners had been secured the COM
pany settled down to cards, which
kept everybody busy till the hostess
decided that the prizes mad been
"cinched'' and ordered a cessation OF
hostalities.
A short musical program followed,
during which one of the ladies made
quite a hit by rendering some Of the
airs OF a popular opera now on the
boards in Chicago. The guests then
gathered round the festive board and
RECALLED the inner man, after which
some more music and some stories.

FIGHTING FOR THE FAIR
Yankton People are Gong to Put up
a Fight to Retain the State
Fair.

. IanlSton has preclpjtated a fight
owe the removal of the state fair
from that place to Huron. A bill
passed the legislature two years ago
changing the location to Huron. In
the subioined article from the Her.
aid, its editor is in error in charging
The state fair removal to the capital
fight. as the two propositions were
fought out on their own merits. The
Herald says:
The state fair board, in session at
Pierre, has requested q So, 600 appro-
priatlOn from the state. Sl5, 600 of
which is to be used in the construc-
zion OF exhibition buildings at IIur-
ON. The other $40, 900 is to a
premiums for the next two years.
This Sl5. 600 item is a direct result
of the capital fight which was made
possible through the efforts of Mitch
ell and Huron boosters during the
last session of the legislature. 1T is
an absolutely needless expense as
there are good buildings now on the
\ anlttOn state fair grounds at the
disposal of the board. The voters Of
tIIt SUdlc. DIT lllt LNONtllDGl SIp.UlOD,
repudiated The idea of switching the
state institutions from one location
To another, at the whim or call of Il
gang of political tricksters or real es-
cate spectators. The expense al
ways falls III the taxpayers OF the
state but they receive no material
benefits. The only benefit derived
from removing the state fair from
Iankton to Huron Will he a tidy
sum OF money to the contractors who
build the buildings and the promot-
ers who brought the event about.
AS to the fair itself it is OF no ma
terial value TO Gankton, although it
may mean something to a city like
Huron. Iankton has passed the
| point where its business men depend
on The trade derived from a crowd
gathered by such attractions. for
SUPPORT. That city may need the
tair aud the incidental business. but
the taNayers of the state should not
be expected to pay the bill. If Ilur-
on wants the fair let Huron build the
buildings. The state has excellent
buildings at its disposal and the leg
i%Slature would do well to instruct
the faii board to use them and avoid
this unnecessary expense which will,
perforce, be paid by the taxpayers of
the state.

He cited many authorities 10 show that
the trainers OF the constitution must be
held 10 have used works in their natural
sense and 10 have Intended just what they
said. The robbery OF communities OF the
rights OF self-goyerp rpment had never been
Irdctced until recently.
4 very careful account OF the four
towns and the foundations OF government
was given.
In conclusion Mr. Brown argued that
the law creating a police commission Cor
Newport was unconstitutional and void as
the general assembly prioh 20 the adop-
ton or the constitution never exercised a
power Of this character and therefore
cannot do so under the constitution.
The town. prior to 1s42. exercised local
self-government and the constitution con-
tlnued the existence Of these towns, with
the rights heretofore enjoyed and made
them the political units of the state. In
Rhode Island the legislature cannot levy
upon one town the whole expenses OF the
salaries OF stale officers, with the pc
culiar powers OF the commissioners, nor
can II divert the property OF the town
10 their use without due compensa ton.
The state must pay for the officers which
IL creates and empowers with the three
forms OF government.
In his argument Mr.. Brown maintained
that the state had given the police COM
missoners, legislative executive and ju-
dicial powers. That Is they could make
certain ordinances. enforce laws and
punish for violations OF ordinances
Attorney General Greenough and Will
liam =. Sheffield claimed the state could

Today's hearing was a most interesting
one. city Solicitor ]. Stacy Brown made
an argument. which was full Of historical
references. keen in the statement OF con-
stltutional law and eloquent both for
home rule and true and fair construc-,
tion Of the constitution. Many were OF
the opinion that the court passed upon
the constitutionality of this Commission
act in the case Of Newport VS.. Horton.
but City Solicitor Brown maintained this
is not so.
He quoted Chief Justice Stiness 20 tho
effect that ''The question I'm this case
Newport vs. Horton). being that OF title

quite immaterial 20 the decision OF that
question whether the police commits

and which are i'm 10 way involved in
this case"
Mr. Brown argued that the limits 70
the legislative power Of the general as
sembly are fixed by article (, section 10
OF the Constitution. BY this section the
general assembly is empowered 10 exer-
else such powers AS were before exercised
unless prohibited In the Constitution.
Strange and new powers unknown 10 the
people at the time Of the adoption OF the
constitution were forbidden 20 be exer-
cised by the general assembly.
Mr.. Brown maintained that such was
the ordinary and natural meaning OF the
y, urds used and then cannot be otherwise
construed by the court.

MANGLED BY ENGINE.

j. Duncan, a young breakman on
one of McDougall and Yale's dinkey
engines on the Hupp end of the cut
off met injuries Wednesday morning
about seven O'Clock which afterwards
resulted in his death. The young
man was riding on the pilot of the
engine, when through sudden lurch
caused by slight declivity in the
road bed he was pitched forward, fall
ing beneath the wheels. Owing to
the light weight of the engine the I'M
fortunate man was not cut up to any
great extent, but was rolled over by
the wheels and bruised in frightful
manner. One leg was broken and one
shoulder badly mangled, besides which
he received internal injuries which
doubtless would in themselves have re-
suited fatally.
He was Immediately taken to the
home of Matt Weiss, adjacent to the
scene of the accident, where he re-
manned conscious long enough to in
form his attendants of his place of
residence, Emmetsburg, Iowa, and his
parents were Immediately telegraphed.
A consultation of physicians, among
them being DR.. Powell, was called
and eve, yth.ng possible was done, in
the faint hope of his ultimately re-
covering. About noon, the patient
seemingly not getting any weaker, it
was deemed advisable to take him to
Earling on the work train and there
catch the passenger for Omaha. Upon
his arrival in Earling, however, he
had sinking spell from which he
never rallied. The coroner was i'm
mediately informed of the death, and
10 O'Clock this morning set as the
hour of holding the inquest. 1t is the
general opinion of those acquainted
with the facts of the case that no
blame, whatever, will be attached to
any one by the coroner's jury, it be-
ing one of those unfortunate accidents
which are bound to occurr and for
which no one can be held accountable.

father, is expected to arrive in time to
be present at the inquest. Defiance
