has been issued by Judge Parish

aid should not be placed on the
official ballot of the republican
party as the regular nominee.
A similar order has been served
on A. 3. Severson. This will
bring the case before the court
for argument, and the matter
determined. All former pro-
ceedings have been dropped.
Judge Sauve of Iron River re-
presents Mcdonald. The charge
is made that the. inspectors of
election in many of the precincts
were unacquainted with their
duties as such officers. and that
the board of canvassers wrong
fully determined that Severson
was the regular nominee.
Whether these charges can be
Substantiated or not remains to
be seen. Attorney E. G. Alvord

Program BY SkOVgaard

One of the real concerts, that is
the kind that really has music in it,
was given at the Lyceum last nigst
when Skovgaard, and his capable
support. Miss Christine Nilsson and
Miss Eleonora Olson, gave their re-
cital.
How he can play the violin! He
did just what any great artist can
do, and what nearly all of them
won t do, subordnated technique to
melody, and from the great range of
musical, and at the same time, diff
cult compositions, selected those
which were tuneful. and then played
magnificently, This is not saying
that Skovgaard is not master OF
technique; it is merely a testimony
to the fact that he does not insist
upon Showing off," he utiliz4s his
program for the purpose of enter
tanning.
Long live Skovcaard: would there
were more like him,
1t is long since a real artist has
had courage to play Last Rose OF
Summer" and ''Suannee River" on
a concert stage. He played both o.
these, and the exquisite tones Of
his Stradivarius- and he really owns
one-drove the melody of thtse two
loved selections home TO every heart
