The Greatest Opera Singers
and the Greatest Auditorium


h people of the Northwest are
particularly favored this spring by a
combination before equallcd.
MIR. Heinrich Conried brings to ST,
Paul his entire company of grand
opera singers to sing in the new au-
dltorlum. 1t is 40 necessary to men
ton anything more than the names of
some of the singers to demonstrate
the quality of the company. and when
we say that Caruso, Burgstaller,
Scott, Van Rooy. Eames, Fremstad,
Farrar and Abbott will sing, We have
said that the worlds greatest singers
will appear in st. Paul.
The Auditorium.
The Pioneer Press of last Sunday
says:
A audience of more than 5000 peo-
pie gathered last night in ST. Paul's
new Auditorium to hear the Symphony
orchestra and see the vast convention
hall transformed into a theater as
beautiful and as we'll proportional as
any theater in America. The specta-
Gle was one long to be remembered.
While auditoriums may be built in the
future with similar accomplishments,
the fact remains that last nights ex-
position of the elasticity Of st. Paul's
Auditorium was the very first event Of
the kind in history.
Movable Boxes.

With such singers and such a theater
1t is no wonder that so many people
Of the Northwest are sending in mail
orders for the entire season. Mrs.
Nettie Snyder, the local manager, re-
ports tho largest out-of-town mail
orders Of any operate event ever pro-
duced in the city. She says: 1T seems
as though the whole country was COM

be a special train from Winnipeg and
points in the northern part of the
state and many people are coming
from Winona and Southern Minnesota.
Mrs. Snyder's address is The Fred

be addressed there.

The audience did not recognize Miss
Farrar when she appeared in the Wis.,

outburst of applause greeted her when
she unostentatiously joined the village
people in the kermess, and after the
garden scene she received q still
greater ovation and a profusion of
floral gifts.

No Relief for the Actress.

London actresses are indignant at a
recent judicial decision which means
that any photographer can use the
head of an actress in juxtaposition
with any kind of a body and sell the
resulting picture to the public. The
complainant was a Miss Gertie Miller,
who objected to be represented in de-
cidedly scanty attire and as creeping
out of an eggshell. But the judge held
that this is a decollete age and that
the lady must put up with the carica-
ture as best she may.

against the Rules for to
Give Addresses.
1t is not generally known that Uncl.
sam looks upon the address or where
abouts of one of his citizens as an in
yiolable secret. Such, however. is the
case, says the New York World.
A New Yorker who had been out of
the city for some time found upon his
return, a few days ago., that one OIL his
intimate friends had changed his resi-
dence without leaving his exact new adj
dress. All he could gather was that
his friend now lived in a fiat on the
north side Of a certain street.
When he arrived at the block in ques-
ton he found to his dismay that every
house in it was a fiat house. He would
have to go from door to door until he
found his friends name over one of
the door-bells.
He had not proceeded far when he
met a letter-carrier making his usual
delivery. Here, he thought, was the
man who could save him a lot of time
and trouble.
Yes, sir" replied the postman, in
response to his query. 81 know the
party very we'll. But 1 am sorry to
say | cannot give you his number. 1t is
against the rules"
The same secrecy is observed at the
post office. The postal address Of any
body will not be given by the federal
authorities even to a state officer. This
rule is in accordance with the genera!
principle that a mans dealings with
the government are of a confidential ma.
ture.

CONEJ0S COUNTY GETS
THE LIONS SHARE

The Conejos county members of
the Legislature succeeded in secur-
ing appropriations during the ses-
sion just closed TO the amount of
SS,OOO.OO to be expended upon the
roads and bridges of our county
These appropriations are from the
internal improvement fund and the
total of that fund amounted to but
$4,000 for the senate and the same
amount for the house of represen-
tatives. or in other words. there
was but $4,000 for the 35 senators
to cut up and $4,000 to be divided
among the 90 representatives for
the building of roads and bridges
in their respective counties.
Senator Adams. with his well es-
tablished record for doing things
and his happy faculty of inducing
others to see the light as he sees
it, succeeded in getting 100000,
notwithstanding the fact that he
was minority member of IA
strongly republican senate. the
money to be expended on the
bridge across the Rio Grande river
at Alamosa, while Representatives
Garcia and Wilder secured a 81
OOO,oO appropriation for a bridge
across the La Jara river, near Cap
ulin, and also 100000 to be used
in building and repairing the
wagon roads between La Jara and
Sanford. and between Sanford and
Manassa.
These appropriations will aid
our county commissioners greatly
in making the roads of this district
a pleasure to travel over and will
enable them to spend more money
OH the roads of the other districts.

GOV. BUCHTFL VFTOES

Gov. Henry A. Buchtel exercised
his veto power on the anti-fusion
bill last Tuesday and gave as his
reason for SO doing his belief that
the measure in question interfered
with the citizens individual right
at the polls. He looked at the mat
ter before him from IA broader
standpoint than party eXpediency
and expressed the belief that the
Republican party is too big to at
tempt to perpetuate itself i'll power
through the passage of law that
savors of the unfair, and in refus-
ing to allow the slightest obstacle
to be placed in the way of fusion
of all the opposing elements if they
so desire, he will receive the hearty
commentator of every broadmind-
ed Republican in Colorado. By
this act of our chief executive every
faction and party is accorded the
privilege of fusing if they so choose
and the Republican party is in
trenched in a position which will
enable it to withstand any on
slaught they may be able to bring
forth. The governor exemplities
his belief in square deal and his
party will not suffer by reason of
his act

minent danger in the Monmouth fire OF

through your columns to pay a de-
served compliment to the Monmouth
fire department upder it's efficient chief.
Harry Z. Merrill, and to the citizens in
general for the valOr and judgment
manifested in directing and executing
their efforts against what threatened
to be the most disastrous con1agra-
ton that has ever come upon this Oft
times fire-cursed town. When mid
way of that beautiful July afternoon
the flames burst forth in such merry
vengeance from the roof of the old
moccasin factory, wind famed by a
strong breeze from the west, leaplng
heavenward balloon like, tapping, curl
ing and seething like the waves OF
storm tossed, tempestuOus ocean be-
fore a mighty gale, then kissing the
earth in their wake of destruction and
reaching eastward in their cOnquering
flight like the weird demon of EudOr,
who viewing scene like this would
for one moment have dreamed that the
village or much of it at least would
not have lain in ashen pallor at the
sunset hour. The bells pealed forth
their cry of distress, while the agoni-
zing shout of fire. fire rung out on
the summer air. Scarcely had the
warning come when magic-likc the
hand tub manned by valiant crew,
directed by wise and courageous
chief. were throwing copious streams
from COchnewagOns tide upon the
near by threatened buildings, while the
village swarmed with a bucket brigade
the noble efforts of whom have never
been excelled under conditions of a like
character.
Speak not of antiquity, for if in
Noahs time the ark should have come
ablaZe we'll may it's tenants have
thanked their stars for a tub like the
Relief" and crew with such valor
to man it. without which the dove
never would have plucked the olive
branch of peace or Mrs. Noah have
lived to tell the wonderful tales of Mt.
Ararat. That the village was aved
will ever form a gilt-edged page of
wisdom and courage in the annals of
local history to this and future gen.
erations. To the Monmouth fire de-
partmcnt, to the bucket brigade. to the
ladies' as well. feel owe a debt of
gratitude I can never repay. but my
most sincere thanks and keencst ap-

assured that my recollection of their
noble deeds will ever remain bright

BRONCHIAL TROUBLES,
Readily Yield to Soothing, Healing
Treatment of Hyomei.

Bronchial troubles are purely local.
They cannot be helped by stomach
dosing. They are caused by irritation
in the air passages and can be relieved
and cured by indicated air alone. In
this lies the secret of the great success
Of Hy -o-mei in the treatment Of bron-
chial troubles.
The Hy-o-mei medication, laden
with natures remedies. is breathed
through the neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit. reaching every
part Of the bronchial tubes and killing
at once the disease germs. 1t allays
all irritation and heals the infiamma-
ton Of the mucous membrane with
astonishing rapidity.
Treatment with sprays, douches and
atomiZers I'm bronchial troubles is con-
demned by the best physicians, as they
cause further irritation.
The first breath of Hy-o-mei's medi-
Gated air seems to sOOthe the in
flammation, stop the cough, and thus
relief soon becomes permanent and a
cure results.
Hy-o-mei has made many remarka-
BILE cures i'm the worst and most
chronic forms Of bronchial troubles
and is sold by Bowditch, Webster &
Co, Of Augusta, Me. and Geo. w. Dorr
of Watervillc, Me, with the same
guarantee as they give when Hy-o-mei
is purchased for catarrh, that is, to
refund the money in case the remedy
does not give satisfaction. The COM
plete outfit costs but $1.0O.
