BANDA ROSSA COMING.
VIII Play at vinewood Three Days
This Month.

The Banda Rosa has been engaged
to play at NinewOod park on June 26i
27 and Is.
Engenio Sorrento. the conductor of
the famous Banda Rosa. Italy's Red
band, is doing what Patrick Gilmore did
many years ago. He has already taken
the east by storm and comes now into
the west. This young Italian. who is
still this side of the 40 line in age, has
personal magnetism to remarkable
degree and his conducting is said to in
sp1re an audience in the same way that
it does his men. He has a wonderful
effects and he refuses to use the ar
rangements and instruments common
to most bands of this dav.
Comets are tabOOed in his band, as
are also slide trOmbones, and in their
place he puts reed and valve instru-
ments-trumpets clarinets, valve from
bones, etc.-thereby increasing the puri-
ty o. tone. The climaxea he obtains
are said to be more magnificent than
those of the greatest concert bands it
has been Americas privilege to hear.
In its tour in America the band has
received some remarkable press trib-
utes, and among them appears the fol-
lowing, taken from the Detroit Free
Press which used two-column head,
reading, THE Banda Rosa Makes a
Profound Impression"
THE famous Banda Rosa was
heard yesterday for the first time in
Detroit at the Detroit opera house, and
produced here, as it has done every
where, the most profound Impression
as being a musical organization Of
unique and surprising excellence. Its
first and greatest merit is its sincerity
There is so much in art that Is false
and artificial that the genuinene ess
comes to US like a positive benediction.
The men that compose the Banda
Rosa do not play as many band men
do-as though they were giving out so
much sound at so much per day, or per
hour, but do their work as though they
loved it, as though to make music were
the dearest of their lives. This seems
to be as true of the bass drummer
as of the first trumpet; all are imbued
with the same spirit of enthusiasm.
They play from their hearts and their
melody goes straight to the hearts Of
those who hear them.
In Eugenio Sorrentino the Banda
Rosa has a leader without an equal in
this country. He stands easily in first
place, full of dignity. knowledge and
force, and, above all. of compelling
magnetism. He holds his men under
the most magnificent control and he
and they seem swayed by common
sentiment-the sincere love Of their
art.
The crescendos obtained bv the band
are positively thrilling, and to hear
them play grand operate finale inn
parts well nigh the same artistic salts
faction as to hear the same music sung
by high class artists.
''To sum UP the impressions created
by the two concerts of the Banda
Rosa yesterday 1t is perfectly safe to
say that no such high class band con

MINERS ARE READY.
Two Thousa1ds Wtn Begin Work in
Deyjln Mines.

Two thousand miners will resume
work in the five mines controlled by
the Devlin trustees on Monday.
The four mines belonging to the
Mount Carmel Coal company and the
one mine of the Deylin- Miller Coal
coal fields which have been shut down
by the strike Of the coal miners. will
resume active operation.
Instructions have been mailed to the
superintendents of the various mines
which call in time for the full output
CT the capacity of each mine.
The mines were cleaned out Friday
and today. This work will be com
pleted it is expected by Monday and
the shifts of the miners viii then be
put on.
The contest which is on between the
Devlin trustees and the Pittsburg and
Cherokee Coal Mining company for
the four mines Of the Mount Carmel
Coal company is in a fair way to be
settled.
The Mount Carmel Coal company's
lease on the mines expired on May 81
and the Pittsburg and Cherokee Min
ing company which simply leased the
properties attempted to assume con-
troll without giving notice to the trus-
tees The trustees refused to declare
the lease expired until the coal COM
pany had paid for the Improvement
which the trustees had put on the
mines under the lease. A conference
was held regarding this in Chicago and
Cyrus Leland one of the trustees, re-
turned this afternoon and reported that
there was every indication that the dis
pute would be settled This means
that the improvements will be paid for
by the mining company. If the settle
ment IS not made by Tuesday suit viii
be brought in the federal court.

Claims Railroads Are Not Play
ing Fair.
Men Don't Reach Places Where
They're Needed.
HARVEST HANDS MOVE
But They Are Missing the Big
Fields.
Blames Union Pacific for Fail
ing to Make Rates.

T. E. Gerow. the state free employ
ment agent, is unable to land harvest
hands at points in the wheat fields where
they are most needed, and he thinks
that the railroads are not cooperating
with him as they might to supply the
shortage Of harvest field labor.
Il am informed by the free employ
ment agent at Kansas city, said Mr..
Gerow this morning, that Mr.. Foote.
Of the Western Passenger association at
Kansas City, refuses to send men to the
places where my reports indicate they
are needed. I don't know why, but my
supposition is that the railroad want to
keep the labOrers on their own lines.
The railroads need men, and during the
wheat harvest the natural inclination
is for laborers to go to the wheat coun-
try.
Il also learned today that the Union
Pacific has made no harvest rates at
all Apparently they do not want men
to go to the harvest fields. The Santa
Fe, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and
Frisco have all made Glte Of cent
mile. but it seems that some way the
Union Pacific failed to participate IN
the rate. I have communicated with Mr..
I1aill, the traffic manager, ans he said
he would see what could be done about
It,
in some localities the farmers have en-
tered into a combine not to pay above
a certain price for hands. IN this way
they hope to pick up laborers who have
come out to work, and who must get
employment regardless of the wage. I
don't know whether this story is true
or not.
Pratt county is clamoring for men;
this morning received a telegram from
D W. Blaine stating that only Is men
came in yesterday. I don't know what
happened to the men. for I was inform
ed that 200 had been started for Pratt
from Leavenworth. I suppose they
must have been sidetracked somewhere
along the route. They are very much
in need Of men in Pratt county The
ports indicate that this estimate is not
too high. The trouble seems to be to get
the men out there
Morton Albaugh arrived in Topeka
today from his home at Kingman, in
Kingman county, which is next door to
Pratt. He said:
There never was a better outlook for
wheat in Kingman county than there
is this year. The crop will run Is or 20
bushels to the acre, and the harvest
commenced yesterday. Men are badly
wanted. I should say that $50 men
could get immediate employment by
going to Kingman. I don't know what
She prevailing wages are, but 1 did not
hear Of any combine among the farmers
to keep prices down. Farmers are feel
ing mighty good at the outlook, and if
they can have few days more of good
weather, they will get in one of the big
gest wheat crops the county has ever
had"

THERE ARE OTHERS.
The Colonies Have Sold Bad Food to
England.

London. June 16.-The report of DR..
Thomas, the medical officer of the
borough Of Stepeny. to the local govern
ment board shows that his department
during the last five years has destroyed
over a ton of rotten, timed foods daily
at the Stepny wharves. These, he adds,
were not American gods, as practically
no canned goods from American con-
Germs are imported through the Stepny
wharYes but were colonial meat, fish
ana fruit. The medical officer says he
found New Zealand raspberries treated
with sulphur in order to preserve them.
On their arrival in England the rasp-
berries were soaked in an analine
oath TO restore their color. He consid-
ers that diseased meat once canned will
easily defy detection and that strict
examination of the carcasses at the
time Of slaughter IS the only means of
protection.
DR.. Thomas incidentally asks what
becomes of the tongues of the great
number of horses slaughtered yearly in
London. He says he has never seen a
horses tongue exposed for sale and la
belled as horses tongue. He urges that
increased powers be given to the public
health departments.

X. n. G. Bill Has Passed Senate, But
Not the House.

A. Drain of Olympia, Wash, stating
that the senate of the United states has
passed the bill appropriating S2,0Oo0 0Oe

organizations. This is just double the
the Kansas National Guard $4,000 for

ton in the house, urging them to sup
