The Pastors union of La Crosse,

CALLED CONDUCTOR A rYRANT.
Son Of Italy Saw Freedom Rapidly
Disappearing.


There is little horse car that runs
through lower East Side street. Up
to a few days ago it carried, besides
passengers. baskets, boxes and nU<
merous other things that took up so
much room as to be in the way of
people getting on and eff the car. An
Inspector noticed this and reported it
to the Office of the car company. The
following day the conductors were
notified that no person was to be per-
mitted to ride upon the car with
package too large to be held upon the
lap. AS a result great deal of
trouble to the conductors ensued.
The climax was reached when two
Italians attempted to board car with
huge oblong box about six feet high
They had almost succeeded in getting
1t on the back platform when the con-
ductor, who, at the time was collecting
fare in the front of the car, noticed
them. Running back, he ordered the
Italians to remove the box-that it
was against the rules of the company
and they could not ride on the car
with It,
The Italians demonstrated and said
they would pay an extra fare for the
box. The conductor refused. The Ita-
ians insisted and quite an argument
started. Finally, amid the loud curses
of the Italians and the cheers of h
crowd that had gathered, the conduc-
tor succeeded in getting the dark
skinned fellows and the box off the
platform and rang his bell twice.
AS the car drew rapidly away one
of the Italians exclaimed in disgust:
You Gala dis free country-a free
country and dey won't even let dead/
man ride on da car."-New York

Eighty one were present at the April
Fool party given at the Owl restaurant
last Saturday evening. Gard playing
amused the guests the fore part of the
evening for which prizes were awarded
the players. The first prize of the ladies
was won by Miss Gene Campbell and
the gents by Arthur Noble. Miss Maud
Jones, of Black Hawk, received the boo.
by prize. Dancing followed the card
playing for which Mr.. Leo Voll and Miss
Rose Philips furnished the music. Lap
refreshments were served. The function
lasted until 2:30 a. M, and every moment
of the time was enjoyed hugely. An
other party will be given by the young
folks arranging Saturday evenings affair

Miss Donna Sol will appear in Rowland
& Clifford's production of I'D ora
Thorne," the dramatization of Bertha M.
Clay's famous novel. Miss Donna Sol is
a slender American with that beauty Of
expression which lies in the sensitive
lips and pulsing eyes Of the race. Some
thing of the Trigane waves in her wild
hair and unconscious gestures, and she
is broad to barbarish in her oratorical
methods. She lies in wait for instants
as violin would for solo, and then she
lights up the gamut of beautiful tones
and her splendid voice scintillates, chants
and wrings the heart with its beautiful
vibrations. She is dark in her passion,
sincerity, depth and intellectual security
of the highest order. In the lodge
keepers cottage she melts under the
calculating mysteries which enthralls her
fate, and Miss Sol has poignant net of
girlish tenderness in that mountain voice
of hers, which is enchanting in its youth,
it quality of songs and beauty. Her
face is like most American faces, an altar
OF mysticism and heritance. Pathos,
poetry, enormous power and the faculty
of inspiring thought in lesser minds
peer out of her gentle profile, her deep
eyes and sad, slim mouth. Her success
with the audience is remarkable and her
dramatic intuition, her emotional fervor,
mental measurements and soulfulness
all greatly welcomed as something fresh
and new and gracefully assuring. This
beautiful play will be offered the patrons
of the opera house next Sunday night.
