Held Meeting.

Minot,, N. D., Oct. 9, 1907.
The members Of the Mechan-
les Mutual Benefit association of
North Dakota held q meeting
last night and passed some very
good resolutions in regard to the
credit system. The members of
the association have lost great
deal during the last few years
doing q credit business.
What they propose to do is to
rate their patrons so that per-
sons who will come in and pay
their bill the first Of each month
will be rated good" and those
who do not will be obliged to pay
cash for work before it leaves
the shop.
On April 1st., 1907. there were
511 members Of the said associa-
tion ia good standing in the
state Of North Dakota, that are
bonded for 800 each, making it
impossible for them to do work
for q person whose name is on
the delinquent list for labor past
due. This has become q law and
will be in effect November 1st.,
1907.

tual Benefit Association of North

HUB SALE CONTINUED
IncIement Weather Forces the
Minneapolis Brokerage Co. to
Several More Days of Bargain
Feasting.

The Hub sale which is con-
Quoted by the Minneapolis Bro
kerage Co. has been a success,
but owing to several days of in
clement weather, it has been de-
cided to continue it for one week,
which will make the date for
ending the sale Saturday, Oct.
10. There are bargains galore
at the Hub, items that have nev-
er yet reached the newspapers.
The stock has got to be reduc-
ed and price cuts no figure. The
stuff is all nice and new and was
bought only a few months ago.
In fact much of the merchan-
disc arrived but a short time ago.
The Hub stocked up heavier
then necessary, and finds that it
is necessary to raise money to
pay it's bills. The public is ask
ed to read the Independent care
fully next week, for the Hub will
have something important to say.

PETITION TURNED DOWN. |.
Commissioners do Not Think
Second Petition to Divide
Ward County is Legal-.-Stan.
leyites Have Necks Bowed
and Will Carry Case Up,

The county commissioners turned
down the Stanley petition to divide
Ward county, creating Mountrail coun.
ty-or rather the petition to give the
voters an opportunity Of voting on the
proposition. They did this believing
that the second petition is illegal, mas.
much as petition was previously &C.
copied from the voters IN the northern
portion OF the county to divide Ward
county into two parts, naming the
northern portion Lake county. The
county dads believe that this first pro,
position should be voted upon before
other propositions are entertained. The
Stanleyites have their necks bowed and
will carry the matter up.

Ip]ause which greeted them was
most gratifying indeed.
At the conclusion of
the concert the pupils and a
few friends of the profess
or gathered at the Europecn res
taurant where an elegant repast
was served. The menu was elab-
ornte, and at the conclusion of
the banquet several toasts were
responded to. A. F. Bacon, the
toastmaster, covered himself
with glory in the manner in
which he acquitted himself. The

and what it would try to do in
the future years, was interesting,

The musicale given at the ia
cobson Tuesday evening under
the auspices Of the Minot Acad-
emy of Music, end for the hos
pita]. was largely attended. con-
sidering the qualityof the wealth
er, and those who attended had
the pleasure Of listening to one
of the best musical treats that
Minot has had in a long time.
The entertainment was given en-
tirely by local talent pupils Of
Prof. and Mrs. Dunaevski. Lit
tie tots, unable to climb upon the
piano stool unassisted, played
clever selections in a manner
which showed that the best Of
methods had been employed in
their instruction. More advanced
pupils also participated. Prof.
Dunaevski has reason to feel
highly elated over what he has
accomplished during the one
short year that he has been To-
Gated here.
We doubt if there is a city the
size Of Minot in the country that
can boast of so good Il musical
school. The program was neces-
sarily quite lengthy, but was not
tiresome for it was varied.
The Minot Academy of Music
has now sixty-fve pupils, but all
of them did not participate in
the concert.
Misses Florence Dunnell end
Sibyl Mel Donald opened the con-
cert with a pianoforte duet.
These yonng ladies play exceed
ingly we'll and will be heard from
later in Minot musical circles
They appeared several times later
on the program and each time
won we'll merited applause.
Little Nora Fauchald, only 9
years Of age, played q violin solo
in a manner that pleased the au-
dience highly. She is natural
little musician and her training
has had a telling effect.

Ask the average student of the
drama the prime essential for a plays
success, and he will reply heart in
terest.'
So strong has this "heart interest
idea become that the other necessary
qualifications have all but been lost
sight of. While it is true that heart
interest plays a very important part
in the construction of drama, it
alone cannot assure it's success. We
must have a plot of absorbing inter-
est; a story of unflagging action and
probability, realism and correctness
in stage settings and scenery, ex-
pense on the latter named must not
be considered, company composed of
an intelligent portrayal of the au-
thor's story, and last and most i'm
portant of all plenty of that abused
term Sensation" The American
playgOer demands sensation. He lives
in a hustling, bustling world and age.
His senses are ever on the alert, hits
nerves demand action in large doses.
Combine all these qualities, and in
tersperSe your story with lew and
pleasant specialties and you have a

When on his way to America Mas

WILL TEACH P|AN0.F0RTE
WHITMAN SECURES INSTRUCTOR
FROM CHICAGO MUSICAL
COLLEGE.

Miss Gena BranScOmbe, who will in
in the Whitman Conservatory of Mu-
sic, will arrive in the city next Mon
day.
Miss Branscombe is one of Whit
mans finds in the department of music
this year, She has a national reputa-
tion as a musician and is one of the
best musicians ever in the city For
seven years she has been teacher in
piano in the Chicago musical college
and has an enviable record in that
school.
AS a concert pianist Miss Brans-
cOmbe has few eQ;.als. Her playing
is brilliant, accurate and full of feel
ing. Her coming TO Walla Walla is
welcomed by the music lovers of the
city with enthusiasm. Not only is
Miss BranscOmbe a pianist of skill
but she is a composer Of some note.
She has had q of her compositions
accepted by Schirmer e Co., an evil
dence of her power in creative music.
Speaking of Miss Branscombe this
morning, Prof. Bratton, who is con-
Quoting the college correspondence
this summer said:
Few people realize what a really
great thing it is for Walla Walla to
get a musician of Miss BranscOmbe's
ability. She has record both for rem
dition and composition which is equal
led by few musicians in this country.
She is the best we could secure any
where in the United States and We are
not sparing money this year to make
the conservatory the best in this sec
ton of the country. We are lucky to
get her and we feel it will be great
thing for the school and the city TO
have such talented musician as Miss
BranScOmbe here"
Dr. F. Ziegfelt, president of Chicago
Musical college, writes concerning her:
Miss RranscOmbe studied in this in
stitutiOn a number of years piano
under my personal direction, and
comprehensive course in harmony and
composition She is a post graduate
and gold medalist, and for the past
seven years has been a member of our
faculty as an instructor in the piano
department.
L regret deeply the fact that she
will sever her connection with the chi
cago Musical college. Miss Brans-
combe snot only an able pianist,
composer OF no little distinction,
thoroughly competent teacher, but Is
moreover, cultured woman OF the Nh
est character
