Hon. Thomas ThorsOn and wife re-
turned from their Chicago trip last
Sunday. They were present at the
now celebrated stockholders meeting
of the Illinois Central Railroad in
Chicago last week. Mr.. Thorson says
that President Fish stood solid for in
dependent management of the rail-
road, free from the Wall street com
binatiOns which were represented In
the Hartman raid to gain control Of
the road through directors favorable
to his interests. President Fish has
managed the Illinois Central along
independent lines and for this his
overthrow is sought by the gigantic
railroad combine. President Fish in
a chat with Mr.. Thorson after the
meeting adjourned, said he did not
anticipate Mr.. Harriman's success
or his own defeat, and that he had
always conducted the affairs of the
road for the benefit of every stock
holder, and should continue to do so
as long as he was in control. Mr.
Thorson said that every stakeholder
at the meeting, aside from the Har-
riman trust interests, were solid for
President Fish, and his overthrow
might prove a calamity SO far Is the
small stockholders were concerned.
There were many dramatic scenes
during the meeting, said Mr.. Thor
son, and especially when the repre-
sentatives Of money millions clashed
and defied and challenged. One of
the younger Vanderbilts was present
and took part in the struggle. w.
Nelson Cromwell, who represented
Hartman and Wall Street in the
fight, was a fit representative of trust
greed. 1t was a great battle and all
the small stockholders hope that
President Fish may defeat the COM
bine and continue in his great work
of managing an independent line of
railroad.

The Griegs Entertain.

Wednesday evening was selected
for the opening social event OF the
season by the Grieg Sangforening.
and the event was attended by all the
active, passive and social members,
if one may judge by the numbers
present. Their hall vas handsomely
decorated and filled by a fashionable,
happy, music loving company, called
thence to enjoy the hospitality of one
of the most patriotic organizations in
the state, because it takes patriotism
and pride to maintain such a musical
organization as the Grieg.
The hour was nine when President
Knudson, smiling, happy and hand
some, arose to express his thanks and
the thanks of the Grieg for the gener-
GUS support extended the organization
and for the esteem and good will OF
the people of Canton, as we'll as their
friends from the country. He said he
was proud of the splendid work &C
complished by the Grieg and predict
ed a still more glorious future. He
said the organization was fourteen
years old, handsome, healthy and
growing in wisdom, wealth and vir-
tue. He paid Adolph Bragstad, a
nice compliment for this work in
decorating the hall and for his inter
est in the success Of the Griegs, and
told how much hard work Secretary
Satrum had done to keep the Organ1-
zation at the head Of the singing So
cietes in the state and how cheerful
ly he cOrresponded with the passive
members, and closed with a we'll de-
served compliment to Prof. Indseth,
musical director, and told of his earn
est %unselfsh work in behalf of the
organization.
President Knudson seemed extreme
ly happy over the suspicious opening
and was frequently applauded. At
the close of his enjoyable speech he m
nounced the opening number by the
Indseth orchestra under the direction
of Prof. Indseth with Mrs. Knudson
at the organ. This was followed
with two numbers by the Griegs and
the music and song was inspiring.
President Tuve of Augustana was
the next speaker and spoke at some
length covering many interesting sub
jects, including music and song in a
local and national sense Of the old and
new style and the lack Of music that
could be classed as belonging to North
America. His speech vas full of
good thoughts and'in concluding spoke
of Norwegian literature and history
and heartily endorsed the establish
ment Of a free reading room by the
Griegs.
President Knudson sang a solo

with splendid effect and received gen.
erous applause.
Music and singing followed and
then President KnudsOn called upon
Mr.. Skartvedt to give a reading, as
he refused to sing, although it was
known that he could sing i'm private
before a select audience.
Mr.. Skartvedt favored the company
with a selection in Norwegian and it
proved very enjoyable as well as
amusing.
President Knudson then announced
"March Tilbords, " and all enjoyed a
a of refreshment.
The Griegs closed the entertain
ment with a song.
Mrs. Adolph Bragstad and Mrs.
Sexe had charge of the refreshment
room, ably assisted by their husbands,
and it is needless to say that the
coffee was delicious for Otto Hervig
was enjoying his third cup when the
editor modestly applied for a second.

Against a Irvine Plant.

1t Is understood that r. w. Parli-
man, senatorial candidate of the ma
chine, is one of the legal advisors of
the harvester trust, an organization
largely interested in the sale Of bind
ing Irvine.
The machine has exhibited It's op-
position to the construction and op-
Grafton of a Irvine plant at the state
penitentiary, that the farmers of the
state may be able to procure cheaper
Irvine, and it's nomination of Mr..
Parliaman for the senate bears the
distinct marks Of an intention to OPP
pose legislation to carry out the will
of the majority should that majority
express it's favor for a state Irvine
plant at the November election.
The Press mentions these circum-
stances that the voters may be adj
vised. If they want a binding Irvine
factory installed at the penitentiary,
they will not further their desire by
clothing the machine legislative selec-
ticns with power to legislate and in
Huence legislation.
If the members of the legislature
from the home county of the peniten-
tiary oppose the operation of the
Irvine factory, their influence will be
stronger than the influence of mem
bers representing other counties, as
the penitentiary is localized in Mimi
ehaha county.
1t has become the custom for the
legislators from public institution
counties to look after the interests of
their home institutions and a Mime
haha delegation arrayed In opposition
10 the proposed Irvine plant would
serve well the interests of the Irvine
truSt.-Sioux Falls Press.

A. Brady Beck.

We find the following brief sketch
of Mr.. Beck in the Harrisburg Jour
nal: 1.-THE subject OF. this sketch was
born at Sinking Springs, Northum-
berland County, Pa. Dec. Is, 1879.
In the spring of 1881, during the
terrible snow blockades, and floods,
he came with his parents to Lincoln
county, S. d. His early boyhood
days were spent on the farm in Day
ton Twp, attending school in the
famous Dist. %, that has turned out
SO many prominent young men and
He graduated from this
school, afterwards taking the teach
er's examination. He taught in
Turner county also in Springdale
Twp. of this county, later in High
land Twp. In the meantime his
father, e. S. Beck, being elected to
the office of clerk of courts, he enter
ed the Court house as his fathers
deputy during his second term.
Upon the expiration of said term he
became a candidate and was elected
clerk of courts succeeding his father.
He served two terms, after which,
Oct. l, 1906, he took the examination
before the Supreme Court of this
state and was admitted to practice
law in the state. A. Brady Reck is
a self made young man, always a close
student, he never lets an opportunity
go by wherein he can add to his store
of knowledge, being possessed of a re-
tentive memory, a rare gift of speech,
an obliging u%nassuming manner, his
friends are legion, and wherever his
lines may be cast, that community
will profit by having him in their
midst"

future growth in a manufacturing
way, is the immediate improvement
Of the water power. When this is
accomplished Canton will secure bus
mess that will be permanent and
profitable.

Remember

That the Chicago Glee Club will
give the second entertainment of the
Canton lecture series in Augustana
Chapel on Friday evening, November
2, and the Chicago Glee Club, with
out any doubt, stands among the best
male quartcts this country has ever
produced. The fact that each voice
is peculiarly adapted to the part it
assumes and that the membership of
the club has remained for over five
years unchanged, combine to produce
this high degree Of excellence. The vol
ume Of the voices is such as to fill the
largest auditorium, while the pianis-
simo passages are so fine and harmon
ious as to hold the audience in breath
less attention. The repertoire Of the
club is very extensive and comprises
the best of all classes of music writ
ten for male voices. Many of the
selections used by the club have
been written or arranged especially
for it.
