From Fargo Conservatory.

The Fargo Conservatory Concert
Company will be at the Armory on
Thursday evening, July 30th, under
the auspices of the Norwegian Free
church, and will furnish a delightful
musical entertainment. The Minot
Optic says:-"Miss Romsdahl deserves
the name of sThe Nightingale of
North Dakota She has a full,
strong, sweet, rich voice, and uses it
to the best advantage. She is one of
the best soloists ever heard in Minot."
The Fargo Morning Call says
"Before magnificent audience which
filed almost every seat in Stones
Music Hall, Thursday evening, Miss
Clara Bohnsack gave pianoforte re-
cital which would have been credit
to artists of more matured age and
experience, and the silence during her
playing was intense and broken at
the finish of each number by such
spontaneous applause that left no
doubt as to the impression of the aud
ience. Her rendition of the first
number on the program, Books Pre-
lude and Fugue in G. was an ex-
hibition of clean-cut technique and
accuracy which was refreshing to
hear, ard before this number was
finished the audience realized the
treat which was in store for them.
Her mastery over the technical diff
,cu1ties of the different numbers put
the audience at ease from tine very
beginning. The Concerto was played
in brilliant manner and like all the
other numbers, was performed en-
,tirety from memory -

has been brought out by the publica-
tion of a long list Of names OF infiuen-

court dignitaries and members OF the
nobility, who, like the late King Car

with them, by exposing Finance Minis

TAFT WORKING ON SPEECH
VIII Forego Recreation Until Task Is
Completed.

Hot Springs, Va, July 17.-Pressed
by the necessity of having his speech
of acceptance prepared several days
in advance of it's delivery at Cincin-
natl on July 2S William Fl. Taft de-
termined to forego his usual recrea-
ton and exercise until the end of his
task is in sight Golf and horseback
rides will not figure in his daily rou-
tine again until the speech is suffi-
ciently perfected te LIT the burden of
it's preparation from him. Mr.. Taft
was in his office early and resumed
the dictation of the paper to w. W.
Mischler, his stenographer. He has
gone over the documents he desired
to study before debating his speech
and has the subject thoroughly in
hand He will keep close to his task
until it is finished.
Arthur l. Vorys talked with Mr.. Taft
briefly, but will defer any further ex-
tended conferences on the Ohio situa-
tion until the candidate has practically
disposed of the work before him.
There are many phases of the Ohio
situation that are interesting at this
time, especially in relation to the SEN
atorship, that are sure to come into
, prominence as the campaign pro-
crosses. Representative Theodore E.
Burton has insisted that he would not
be a candidate for senatorial honors
If such a course should threaten a
contest that will have any bearing on
the national ticket and Mr.. Vorys has
! taken the position that the senator
ship shall not be interfered with so
far as the management Of the national
campaign in Ohio is concerned

Berlin, July 17.-John B. Jackson,
the American minister to Persia, has
arrived in this city on his way to the
United States for his annual leave OF
absence Mr.. Jackson said that quiet
reigned at Teheran when he left that
city twelve days ago and that he and
other foreign observers believed that
the country had entered upon period
of tranquility. The controversy in
Persia, Mr.. Jackson continued, had
not been between the parliament and
the shah, but between the sovereign
and a group of men composed of the
heads of the secret organizations
which tried to operate through par
lament. The assembly is loosely
formed body, without parliamentary
training. The secret societies main
tanned state of anarchy in Teheran
until the shah decisively put into
effect his constitutional authority
Shooting in the city was heard at
irregular intervals day and night. The
European residents of Teheran, how
ever, had never been in the slightest
danger 1t always had been possible
for them to traverse the streets in

GEORGE sTINsoN WRITTEN UP.
interviewed by a Minneapolis jour-
nal Reporter on His Honeymoon.

The prospective ten thousand mile
honeymoon of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Stinson proved of interest to the re-
porter for the Minneapolis Journal,
and the following write-up was pub
lished in last Saturdays paper
George Stinson is lucky man. He
went away and stayed away for five
long years and then came back and
married the very girl he'd picked out
long ago. Now he is taking her off
for 10000 mile honeymoon where
there'll be nothing to do but sit on
the deck of a big ocean steamer and
make up for all those five years of
separation.
Stinson registers from Buenos Aires
now. He used to live in Morris, but
that was long time ago. He went to
the Argentine as the agent of big
American threshing machine COM
pany and learned Spanish and settled
down to life at the other end of the
world. He hadn't been "home" for
five years when he got back to Morris
in April. He married Miss Mary
Logue on Tuesday and today TREY
were in Minneapolis.
He Knew Mary.
Stinson is big-man and SO brcnzed
Galat it may be mostly a guess that
there was "a blush on his face rs he
said "Oh yes, knew Mary long be-
fore I went away" but there certainly
was grin.
Now he's taking his bride sway on
an ideal honeymoon. For month
they will ride and sail toward the
great city of Buenos Aires, a trip of
10000 miles with nothing to do but en-
Joy themselves and nothing to think
about but each other.
''Itwill be great trip for honey
moon," Mr.. Stinson admitted. They
go to New York and from there take
an ocean steamer reaching the city on
the River Platte after a voyage thru
tropic seas and few stops at South
American ports.
A Great Country.
'''The Argentine is a great country"
said Mr. Stinson today. @aJf course it
can't be compared to the United
tat es. 1t hasn't the forests and other
natural resources which this country
has. The Americans are steadily be-
coming more important factor in
Argentine business affairs and right
now control large part of the
machinery business. The iimmigra-
ftiOn into the Argentine continues
heaMy,aa large part of the immigrants
being Italians. But there ARE q lot
of Nerwegians and Swedes going into
the country. Prospects for next
yearsas wheat crop are excellent. This
