Steinman Concert Company.


What promises to be one of the best
musical events of the season is the
concert at the keylor Grand given to-
night by the Rachel Steinman COM
pany. This concert company is COM
posed of three searling artists and has
everywhere been enthusiastically re-
ceived. Concerning the members of
the company, the press has had the
following to remark:
The violinist, Miss Rachel Stein
man, is certainly a wonder, such di-
vine music, such glorious tone. Such
playing as hers has never before been
heard in Greeley. Time after time
she was recalled until it seemed as
though she would be worn out, but
she responded so cordially and grace
fully each time that she completely
captured the hearts of the Greeleyites
Leader Independent, Greeley, Nebr.
Miss Irene Sheahan easily sustained
her reputation as Canada's greatest
entertainer. She was a delight to the
audience. Her child representations
were splendid. and she was enthusias-
tically recalled after each of her mum
bers.-BrusselS Post
Rarely is such sympathetic and tact
full grace displayed as that given each
selection by Miss Veitch, who is a
thoroughly brilliant pianist. Her work
on the cello was also splendid.-Owen

Committee, Walla Walla County

Gentlemen:
While we realize that the defeat of
the democratic ticket was due to cir
Cumstances quite beyond your power
to control We nevertheless appreciate
the disinterested services you rendered
in behalf of the entire ticket ana we
wish hereby to express to YOU our
sincere thanks for the ardent zeal and
vigorous energy with which the oner-
Gus duties of the campaign were under
taken and discharged by you.
The result while disappointing Is
neither disheartening nor humiliating
as the returns show that nearly every
democrat ran ahead of his ticket, we
are therefore grateful to those repup-
licans and members of other parties
who were liberal enough to endorse US
with their votes, while at the same
time we regret that the numbers of the
opposition were so overwhelming that
our bid to intelligence was overcome
by the appeal to partisan prejudice in
volved in the slogan vote the ticket

Again thanking you for your skill
and efficiency, we remain

Site Some months ago its representative
held a conference with Rutland county
farmers, exhibiting their concentrated
milk. Their proposition TO locate here
was favnrably received but at that time
they wished to sell some Of their stock
to the farmers. The dairymen did not
fall in with this idea so the proposition
did not come To head
The company has sold its rights to a
Boston syndicate and now the new
owners wish TO locate here, saying that
there win be no stock for sale. They
are asking for a deal similar 70 the one
they got III Randolph, the present Of a
site and exemption from taxation for
five years, the concern to put up its
own buildings They claim that other
towns besides Randolph have offered
them these terms
The citizens Of Rutland have not yet
talked the matter over but the farmers
ia general favor the idea because it
looks like higher prices for milk.

"The panic disposed Of the ear-short-

American Railway association Last
February Gs railroads reported net
shortage of 95,4l7 ears-they needed so

A HAND CLASP.

Through the distance between us ]
stretch my hand
The deepening shadows are dull and
gray
Will it meet your own in some far
dreamland
Where you will clasp it and under
stand
All that 1 longed to say?
For words are empty and life is vain,
The heart grows weary when hope
declines.
And what avail our bitter pain
To know in sweeping cloud of rain
That somewhere the sun still shines?
will Elay the bars of a lifting tune.
Let the sadness fade and the smiles
begin
OF roses clustering in fragrant June
But winter withers the bloom too soon
And the minor chord creeps in.
The visions fade though we strive to
hold
For dreamland's shore is a shifting
Is life the thing that our youth fore
told?
[ speak no answer for words are cold;
only stretch out my hand.
