ELKS 10; WENTWORTH /.
Older Men OutcIass the Youngsters, But
Soldiers are Game.

"First last and all the time the
Elks smote the ball" The foregoing
sentence gives a very vivid and com
plete description of Mondays base
ball battle, waged on the academy
campus, in which the Wentworth
bunch of ball players was thrown
down, pulled up, knocked down again
and stomped in the face by a herd of
big game, better known by the
cognomen of Elks. The cadets are
somewhat dazed as yet, but they
still retain a blurred recollection of a
wild rush by several purple and
white coated individuals, a butt, and,
when they awoke, a leatherlunged
gentleman announcing that the ex-
pert accountants employed to figure
out the correct score, had found it to
be ID to L. Well, let it go at that.
The result occasions no surprise, as
it was almost an established fact
that the Elks would crawl through
the hole first. But nevertheless the
outclassed cadets put up a gritty
fight, and refused to concede the
victory until the last man was out
It was a large and good-natured
crowd that the belligerents faced at
the beginning of the game. 1t was an
ideal base ball day. Brockman and
Meyer started the fireworks for the
Horned Herd. The soldier boys were
retired in one, two, three order for
the first few innings. Upton and
Ahrens did things for the cadets.
Although Upton allowed only three
hits during the first SIX innings,
numberless errors by the feiders
enabled the Elks to score at will,
They crossed three in the first, one
in the second, one in the fifth, three
in the seventh, two in 1.-THE eighth, an(
three in the ninth. Upton made
Wentworth's only score! The Elk
used three twirlers, Brockman
Kinkead and Campbell. Wentworth
nsed Upton and Wilmot.

of any singers voice and Miss
Atkeison handled it admirably,
A we'll chosen closing number was
Gouuod's Jewel Song from Faust.
This was the heaviest and most
dramatic piece on the program. 1t is
moreover extremely difficult, con-
tanning many hard phrases and de-
handing an extensive range. Even
after the former part of the program,
the singer surprised her hearers by
the ease with which she delivered
the most intricate passages and at
tackled the high notes. Prolonged
applause was accorded her at the
end of the song.
Miss Mary Hall, a student of the
college, played the accompaniment:
with admirable taste and sympathy.
and contributed largely to the
successful outcome of the entertain.
ment.
Altogether the recital was highly
satisfactory to all concerned and 4
distinct success for the singer and
Miss LIE Grande, her teacher, There
are wonderful possibilities in Mis-.
Atkeison's voice and if she continues
her study of music, there is a bril-
liant future in store for her.

Miss AtkeisOn's Recital.

The graduating song recital given
by Miss Mary Lillian Atkeison Mon
day evening at Lexington College
was in every particular a brilliant
success. In spite of the inclement
weather an audience which crowded
the college chapel came to hear this
popular and accomplished young lady,
and the verdict of those present was
altogether In her favor.
The program was as follows;
Ave Maria. .,..... 49,. Bach-G ounod
violin obligato)
(a) Who is Sylvia?
lbl Harkl Hark! the Lark! Schubert
.tc) The Trout
Waltz Song, from Romeo ct
Juliette'. 49,. .-..........G ounod
(a) The Nightingale's Song. .Nevin
(b) Julia's Garden. Rogers
icy "Junep po.,h
td) The YEARS. at the Spring D'aO"
Jewel Song, from "Faust". *. .Gounod
This program, while not exceeding
ly long, was particularly well adapted
to display of the excellent quality OF
the singers voice-a high, dramatic
soprano with, c~learness and inten-
sity remarkable for a young pupil.
Her enunciation, too, is admirable
and Monday evening there was moi
a word snng which was unintelligible
to any one in the audience. Her stage
presence is all that could be desired
and at her recital her appearance
was beautiful, Her entrance upor
the stage was greeted by enthusiast
applause.
The opening number was a familiar
one to a Lexington audience AM
therefore was eli the more a~ppreciat
ed. 1t proved a well suited vehicle
and raj warmly received.
The Schubert group consisted o.
three comparatively light songs
which Miss Atkeison sings so well
The Trout, a bright, sparkling
dainty piece, replete with catch,
turns and runs, was SO well presented
that the audience persastently en-.
deavored to get an encore, but thi
was gracefully refused.
Gounod's beautiful waltz song from
Romeo and Juliette is another
familiar piece and proved partic
ularly delightful. Miss Atkeison thi
time was given such an emphatic re
call that she responded with Nevin'
"Woodpecker,' in pleasant contrast
with the heavy number preceding.
The fourth group contained fon,
songs, while not particularly heavy
aiicrding abundant opportunity fol
intelligent and tasteful singing
Reach's eJune'' was probably tn,
most pleasing of the four. In thii
there is enough contrast and ton,
work to show the better qualities

Baby Gets Carbollc Acid.

Waldo, the one and a half year
old baby boy of VIM. O. johnson.
had a narrow escape from death
last Saturday. The baby had been
left asleep upstairs and about noon
Mrs. johnson heard him scream.
Hurrying upstairs she found him
seated on the floor holding in his
hand bottle Of carbolic acid, part
of which in some way had been
spattered over the left side Of his
face. The mother thought at first
he had swallowed some Of the acid,
but happily an examination proved
he had not. DR.. Mclaughlin was
called at once and under his care
the little ones pains were allayed.
Aside from a bad burn and conse-
quent swelling, it is not thought
that anything serious will result.
AS luck would have it the eye pro-
per is intact. The bottle had been
left behind number of empty bot.
ties in a lower apartment Of dres.
ser and just how the baby happened
to get that particular one is a mys
terry.

TERRIBLE CYCLONE AT
CLINTON, MINNESOTA
Wife and Child Of Former kandiy0hi County
Boy are Among the Dead.

Rothwell himself and two guests
of the family Miss Kate Mills and
Mrs. Peter Vandermark-were al
most instantly killed, and Miss
Mate Rothwell and Bert Rothwell
were seriously injured.
The others dead Mrs. Mikkelson
and her babe-lived in the town
and persisted in the ruins of their
home.
There were many thrilling, even
miraculous escapes.
About twenty houses, all in the
one part of the town, were blown
to pieces. Among those in the
sweep of the funnel-shaped twister
were the homes of Olaf Mikkelson,
is. H. Beatty, A. F. Warner, C. G.
Bronson, S.. r. Finberg, G. M.
johnson, S. O. Steen and John Hag-
arman.
The Methodist and Norwegian
Lutheran churches were destroyed.
Scarcely piece of timber re-
mains on the original site of either.
The office Of the telephone company
was damaged and the printing office
and residence of Fred r. Condit
were completely wrecked. With
the exception of a livery building,
no building in the business part of
town sustained any great amount of
damage.
The total property loss will foot
up $500, 900 or more.
When the tornado burst upon the
town the southbound mixed train
was just leaving the station. Thir-
teen Of it's cars were lifted up bodi-
ly by the tornado and thrown with
great violence into a ditch by the
side Of the track. Two cars were
entirely destroyed.
Seventeen passengers were in the
coach of the train and all of them
were injured, tho fortunately only
Islightly.
Clinton has but one physician and
surgeon, and an appeal was hurried
to all neighboring towns which
could be reached for help and medi.
cal supplies. Montevideo, Orion.
