Concert in The Wilderness.
Adolf Closes Experience in Yosemite
Park With Clara Louise Kel-
logg Company.

Adolf Close, In the Chase bill this
week. remembers with pleasure the fact
that he participated IN the first con-
cert ever given professionally in
Yosemite Park. 1t was in 1887. just
after the Northern Pacific road had been
completed, penetrating the vast wilder
ness area. and Mr.. Close was then a
soloist with the Clara Louis kellogg
concert company, in which also we're
Brignoli, Tagliapetra Adamowski. and
other great artists then passing be-
low their prime. The concert was given
in the hotel erected at the mamoth
hot springs. and among the audience OF
200 music-lovers present there were any
number that had ridden more than a
hundred miles to hear the singers. 1t
was an event long to be remember>..
and there was such a display OF tear
full, heartfelt appreciation as the old
songs were sung as few artists have
had the honor OF evokng.
Mr.. Close was quite a young man in
those days. but he was already a skill
ed pianist. and the only one who wholly
pleased the capricious Clara Louis Kel-
logg. whom he personally accompanied
in all her vocalism for four seasons.
Mr.. Close is full of recollections Of his
with that organization. Brignoli was an
eccentric genius who never failed to
carry with him throughout his tours
large market basket in which he had
eatables of all kinds and wines imported
from abroad. In this respect he was
gourmand and the great girth he at
tanned in his latter years was due TO
this habit. Tagliapetra was another of
the same ilk. Adamowski was more OF
a man and gentleman than any of the
others. Brfgnoli died a pauper in New
York and the only friends of his DAYS
Of prosperity TO attend his bedside were
Major Pond, the noted manager and
impressario. and Mr.. Close.
In the years since Mr.. Close has be-
come an ardent Wagnerite and his inter
pretations ot the German masters
works are said TO have entitled him to
the mantle that dropped from the
shoulders of Seidel at the time of his
demise. MIR. Close has made many duet
arrangements from the scores of WaR-
ner and he has large and authoritative
library of Wagneriana- He is the father
OF Augusta Close who gave her musical
comedy monologue at Chase's only n
few weeks ago. Alexander Mirret who
is associated with Mr.. Close is none
other than Johannes Miersch. the noted
violinist, and brother of Paul Miersch
the famous solo cellist. He has chosen
to adopt a nom de vaudeville although
there is no concealment Of his identity

Former Mrs. Roland B. Molineux Soon
to Make Her Debut in New York.


A dispatch from Sioux Falls. 8. D..
says:
Mrs. Wallace Dutton Scott. who was
formerly Mrs. Roland 3. Molineux, will
leave here for New York within a few
days to complete preparations for APP
pearing upon the stage. In all probable
ity she will be seen at one of the vaude-
Vile houses In a singing speciality, as
she possesses fine contralto voice.

bust youngster. now nearly eight months

Island In n cottage purchased By Mr..
Scott 1t was he who secured the d.
vorce for Mrs. Molineux, nee Blanche
Chesebrough, shortly after her hus-
bands sensational trial for murder.
Hardly had the decree been granted
when Mrs. Molneux and her attorney
slipped away to Chicago, where they
were married.
AT that time IL was reported that the
former wife of Roland b. Molineux was
about to make her stage debut. She
even went SO far as to sign a contract
with one OF the leading New York vaud-
eville managers. and journeyed to the
metropolis, where she purchased ward
robe and began rehearsals. At the last
moment Mr.. Scott found 1t impossible to
wind up his legal and political affairs in
the West In order TO settle down in
New York. so Mrs. Scott cancelled her
engagement and returned to Sioux Falls.
Since that time Mr.. Scott has succeed
ed in cutting loose from the various mat
tiers which held him here and will as
sist his wife to crafty her ambition for
a stage career. He will take UP the

On Tuesday evening the City Coun- cil at a regular session, accepted the resignation of City Attorney Sutter and Assistant Attorney Shelly. The severance of these two officials from further connection with the city gov. ernment came about in rather an ab- rupt maaner, to say the least. Upon the presentation of the resignations at a recent meeting they were tabled, and the Assistant City Attorney ac- cepted a duty requested of him by the Council, at that time, implying thereby that the resignations would not be insisted upon further. Xvi. dently the Assistant acted without the consent of his superior in this matter, for it was made plain at Tuesday nights meeting that the City Attorney had resigned in the fullest sense of the word, and did not care to be both

The fight against Mcclellan in New York was not personal affair. It was a repetition of the old cam. paigns waged in the past against the Tammany organization of the city, which has endured for more than a hundred years. The fact is, that Mcclellan has made a good mayor for New York City. but the feeling against the Tammany organization ap- pears to be intensified.

Missouri State Corn Crop.

The fact that the first prize for the
best corn at the recent Macon county
corn show was won by a farmer who
has for several years been practiciug
scientific methods of corn breeding as
taught by the Agricultural Experiment
Stations emphasizes the Importance OF
using a little science in corn growing.
The additional fact that this man ha',
by these methods, not only improved
the quality, but has increased the yield
so that he now gathers from seventy
five to one hundred bushels per acre in
an average season, cannot but impress
the thinking man with the importance
of a careful selection of his seed corn.
Corn is a plant which can be changed
by selection as readily as any plant
known.
The ability to select ears which
will produce corn Of nigh quality
and yield, is the result Of scientific
research and experience, but any
farmer who will give the matter a
little time, can become a successful
b%reedertof seed corn. The Missouri
Corn Growers Association organized
for the purpose of increasing the quality
and yield IF the corn of the State will
hold the third annual meeting at
Columbia, during farmers' week,
January 9th and 10Th, 1906 and it will
be worth many times the expense Of
any corn grower in the state to attend
this meeting, Some of the most
successful corn growers and scientists
who have been instrumental in
improving the corn plant will be
present to address the meeting A
prominent feature of the meeting will
be the State Corn Show which is open
to al farmers in the Stale of Missouri
aud it is expected that several hundred
eotries will be exhibited, representing
every county in the State. Every
farmer who has good corn should
