An Excellent Entertainment.

Burns hall was filled to it's ut
most capacity last Saturday even
ing to witness the entertainment
given by the ladies dramatic as
ISOLATION. AS a rule, amateur
plays are not we'll rendered.
Those that take part do not seem
to appreciate the meaning of the
author of the play and as a result
the performances fall fat. With.
out desiring to be fulsome in our
praise Of the entertainment given
by the members of the associa-
ton, we but echo the consensus
of opinion, when we state that
every character represented in
the comedy of "The Detective in
Petticoats'' was excellent and in
thorough rapport with the part
to be played.
The smoothness in which the
Entertainment went off was
sufficient evidence that the
young ladies had given a vast
samount of time and study to the
Prospective characters they rep
Presented. The stage settings
were in most ad mirable taste and
lgood Judgment. The costumes
were very appropriate and the
overtures by Beebe's orchestra
could not have been better. The
cast was as follows:
Detective Myrtle McCurdy
MRS. Warrington ---------------R Ruby Wasser
Octavia rockingham Jessie Ludwig

r. A. STONE PRESENTS. ARGU.
MENTSs FOR STATE.

Heard Today Result of
Hearing Unknown.

i j ~ ~
The hearing ofcharges against
Commissioners Yves Wright and
E. O. Sibley before Governor
Johnson was commenced at the
state capitol in ST. Paul yester-
day morning. Those present at
the hearing were Yves Wright,
E. w. Hitchcock and Attorneys
Stone. Mckusick and Russell.
Mr.. Stone presented his argu-
.ments tosthe governor and spent
the entire morning in ming
up the testimony that had been
adduced at the inves tigation held
in Bemidji. He presented six
charges, as follows:
First, Wrongfully procuring
pay Of improper and fraudu.
lent bills.
Second, unlaRf ulIg allowing
improper bills for county off
GERS, in which allowances the ac-
cused participated.
Third, letting the Bel5fami
county printing for the years
1903, 1904 and 1905, to the4high.
est bidder, when the law says il
SHOULD go to the lowest.
Fourth, creating an excessive
tax levy to meet exorbitant ex.
Ipenses.
Fifth, being interested in
county contracts.
sixth, refusing to prosecute
and collect claims due the county,
especially the amount due from
the defunet Merchants bank OF
Remidji.
In the afternoon Attorneys
Russell and McKusick opened
their case aud denied the charges
in toto The entire afternoon
was taken up in hearing theil
arguments and the hearing was
continued today. They explained
away many Of the charges made
against the commissioners, and
lit is probable that before the
hearing is concluded it will be
found that the worst that can be
brought against Messrs. Wright
and Sibley are mere technical
violations that would in no case
constitute a cause for removal.
Up to a late hour this after.
noon the result of the hearing
was unknown.

Acting presumably under orders of
Senator T. c Plat of New York presi-
dent Of the United States Express Com
pany. an official of that concern called
up Acting Secretary OF the Treasury
Taylor. by long-distance telephone. from
Chicago. and asked whether it would be
possible, in case of trouble with the
strikers. to secure an escort of Federal
troops for express wagons carrying Gov
eminent money.
Mr.. TAYLOR told him that this was out
of the question. as il might lay the Gov
eminent open 10 the charge of affordng
military protection to wagons carrying
ether than Government property
He added, however. that If the situa-
ton should become so serious that the
express companies could not transport
Government funds without protection.
the Treasury Departn ent would tenn
porariiy take over The delivery OF
moneys from the railroad stations to
the subtreasury. using for that purpose
army wagons and troops. The Secre-
tary of War had already issued orders
contingent on such circumstances.
Mr.. TAYLOR then asked whether there
had as set arisen any need for troops,
and was told that there had not, bur
that the company feared they would be
necessary later on.
