There is one annoying thing about the Cubs-there isn't any weak end to their batting line. In one of their games last week every one hit the ball right along down the line.

FRU ODA NELSON
DELIGHTS AUDIENCE
Interesting Song Programme
Rendered Last Night by Fa-
nous Swedish Actress.

In q sbimmering green satin gown.
her wealth Of pretty blonde hair fin
ished with gHttering hair ornament,
Frn Odn Nelson of the Royal theater
at Copenhagen entertained highly ap-
preciative audience last night at the
Federation Of Labor hill.
Her audience, composed Of Swedish,
Danish and scandinavian people, simply
hung on every note of the fair singer 3
the fatherland, the songs that some OF
tho old people present had heard hrst
at their mothers knee far back in the
old home.
Fru Nelson gave long and varied
programme and one that suited TO a
dot the tastes of her listeners. Al
though Sunday night, there was an out
pouring of the people of her nation
ahty, and there were many OF the
younger generation there to catch at
least n word here and there of the old
melodies.
The first part Of the programme was
given over to foIksongs. AS she harsh
gutteral words of the Swedish songs
fell from the singer 8 lips the old faces
a grand artist indeed would have been
proud of the applause that drowned out
the last words Of each song
Only the songs were each about iit-
teen verses long Some of them were
in plaintiff minor, falling soft and sad
from the singers lips, and again mar
tial and stirring.
"Fyf, Fugl, Flyf," Oily, Birdie,
fly was given in exquisite style, the
little lyrical gem tripping from the
singer s tongue. An interpolated num-
Der was "Good Evening. Moon" and
this was the hit of the evening, the
singer being lost In the charms of the
actress.
"Hello, Central, Give Me Heaven, -
was Fru Oda g only English song and
the simple little song all the more en-.
loyable, Her programme consisted of
Swedish, Scandinavian. Danish and
French sons. Skuespiller Willumsen,
which formidable name only means
that Mr.. Willumsen is an actor, gave
several highly enjoyable recitntions,
and also accompanied Fru Oda on the
piano.
The visit Of the Swedish actress is
Of special interest in the fact that
many of the people who witnessed her
artistic performance last night had seen
her many years ago IN the old country.
Although beautiful woman, with
violet eyes and rosebud mouth, who
doesn t look over 80, Fru Oda is 81
years old and enjoys a pension from tho
Danish Government. For thirty years
she has been in the Royal theater at
Denmark, and hence the intense ap-
probation and the ovation vouchsafed
her by her countrymen here.
After the performance an informal
little supper was given for Fru Nelson
at Franklin
The artist s appearance was under
The auspices Of the Danish American So
ciety.

into the Dewey saloon, where he
dropped the packages behind the door
and demanded to know what he had In
the packages. Holm responded that 1T
was some meat which the cook at the
Queen City restaurant on Commercial
street had asked him TO take TO the
Toxic restaurant. The two packages
contained twenty Hamburger steaks,
twenty pounds Of salmon and guam
tity of sausage. Simpson called OFF
Ger George Moore and had him take
Holm to the Queen City restaurant
where the cook denied that he knew
the man. Holm was then taken to the
station, where he was locked up pend
ing an investigation.
In the morning it developed that
the goods had been stolen from the

sion. he had stolen from the place
nearly 100 pounds of beef and fifty
pounds Of mutton. which ho had taken
to the Rosnling hotel, rear of 12S East
Second South street, where he had dis
posed of it. Holm admitted to the of
fcers that he had made three or four
trips in order to carry away the
amount of goods which he had stolen.
He was released from the county jail
last Friday, after serving a sentence of
ninety days for stealing a quantity of
copper wire from the Utah Light and
Railway company. AT the time of his
trial Holm pleaded with the court TO
be lenient with him on the ground
that he had never been charged with
an offense before in his life, and that
he did not know that he was stealing

Delivers Address TO Large Con-
gregatiOn in Weber Stake
Tabernacle.
SAYS .J0SEPHITES ARE
NOT THE TRUE CHURCH
Original Saints Sinned in Their
Failure to Perform Com
plete Duty.
Special to Tho Tribune.

Special To The Tribune.
OGDEN, March I0.-Elder Joseph F.,
Smith, Jr., son Of the hierarch and AS
sstant historian of tho Mormon church,
delivered an address in the Weber
Stake tabernacle today to congrega-
tion that, as usual, crowded and over
flowed this place of worship. y magni-
ficent musical programme was present
ed by Prof. Joseph Ballantyne and the
tabernacle choir with 200 voices pres
ent, and Mr.. Sam Whitaker presided
at the great organ.
The elder might have styled his ad
dress "Schisms IN the Church ~ He
opened with tribute to the sincerity
Reorganized church, commonly known
as the Josephites. This branch he said,
claimed to be the true and the real
church, but he undertook to prove by
the Doctrine and Covenants and from
the records of the origin of the Reor-
ganIzed church that they were not the
true church.
HIS expoundiug contained a review
of the old revelation in the Doctrine
and Covenants, and the charge made
by the Joscphites that the Almighty V
was displeased with the dilatoriness in
the completion Of the Nauvoo Temple;
that because of the refusal of the
saints TO furnish the money to complete
the temple il was necessary TO perform
baptismal ceremonies in the river, and
that the Almighty in his anger would
not accept such baptisms. Moreover,
there could be no open-nir baptisms
for the dead. Consequently the saints
had sinnod in their failure to perform
their duty and complete the temple IN
the time designated by the Chief Archi-
tect of the Universe.
The assembled saints at the taber-
nacle today left the structure with the
firm belief that Elder Smith had proved
the case, but there were few indie
pendent saints who, on the outside,
expressed tho wish that a joint debate
could be had and both sides be pre-
Hentcd before the people
There was absolutely no reference
made, either directly or indirectly, to

gard to the great snake story which

of n similar circumstance we would
have asked them what brand of whisky

Meehan further stated that he had
heard of these snakes Off and on for
the past fourteen years, but had never
given credence to the story until last
Saturday. when he saw them for the
first time. He said that many years
ago two men disappeared near the lake,
and he thought it may have been posi-

men. Meehan also stated that in the

ground that he is not Of the direct

Of the prophet; that there is now liv

is now the head of the Reorgan,zed
