DELIGHTFUL TREAT
Recital at Seminary Hall Amply
Rewarded Those Who BraVed
The StOrminq Elements.

A deplorably small audience at
tended the recital given by the
Misses Olson and Miss Walden at
the Seminary Hall last evening.
The weatherman was perhaps more
to blame for this than anything
else, for he persisted in keeping the
temperature so far below the freez-
ing point that people did not feel
disposed to leave their hresides.
Those who did attend, however,
were amply repaid for their brav-
ing the elements, for the recital
proved to be one of the most de-
lightful treats ever extended to
Wi|lmar people. The program was
varied and selected with All evil
dence of art and good taste. AL
tho playing under difficulties, Miss
Alice Walden gave a sympathetic
Interpretation of the composers
whose productions comprised he,
numbers, and she proved herself
possessed of a good deal of tech.
nical skill. Miss Eleonora Olson,
the mezzo-soprano, was in gooo
voice and sang her numbers with
spirit and feeling. She proved
especially delightful in her last
group Of songs, Mot Kveld," by
Grondahl, "Eg Elsker Del Voggan.
de Tonar," by Lepsoe, and the ole
but ever new and ever malodiouS
Norwegian Mountain Echo Song
by Thrane.
One cannot give an adequate ap
probation of Miss Ethel Olson, the
reader and impersonator. She
must be seen and heard to be ap
preciated. Miss Olson is peculiar
ly fitted by temperament to i'm
personate. She changes from one
mood to another with marvellous
rapidly and effectiveness, and sht
makes every one of her impersona
tions stand out by itself in man
ner so vivid and clear that one al
most forgets that she is only "mak
ing believe" A Willmar audienct
has probably never heard anything
quite so deliciously funny as he
Norwegian Lady at the Telephone
for the First Time.'' 1t was more
than a hit, it was to use the yernac
ular, "stunner, and Miss Olson
had to respond to a most enthusi
, astic call for an encore.
1t is to be hoped that Willma
will again at some future TIM
have the pleasure of attending

talent, and it is safe to say tina
upon the next appearance here the.
will be greeted by full house.

ACCUSED OF TWO MURDERS
Love Of a Girl Leads to Capture OF
Much Wanted Man.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-The love of a
girl, who, against the wishes of her
mother, had been secretly meeting
Horace Simmons, led to his arrest on
the charge of being implicated in the
murder Of Policeman William R.
Mooney, who was shot by highwaymen
on the night of Jan. 2.
Grace Warner, twenty-one years
old, has been meeting Simmons every
night, while detectives were searching
the city for him. The police learned
of this and followed her from her
home. Just as Simmons greeted her
half dozen detectives surrounded the
couple and Simmons was forced to
surrender at the points of revolvers.
Simmons, according to the police,
is the most desperate highwayman
who has worked in Chicago since the
car barn bandits. William Brown, the
confessed slayer of Policeman Mooney,
and Thomas Mccain, an accomplice,
both say Simmons was with them at
the time of the murder.
Simmons is also under indictment
for the murder of Herman Hansen, a
saloonkeeper. Twenty or more saloon
robberies are charged to Simmons.
Recently reward was offered for his
capture. '-

FOURTEEN PER CENT IDLE
Railroads Have No Use for Big
Part of Their Eq uipment.

New York, Jan. 24.-Figures pre-
pared for one of the large railroad
companies, says the Tribune, show
that a week ago there were 100000
idle freight cars in the United States
and about 5000 locomotives which are
laid up because of the falling off in
traffic. AS there are 100000 freight
cars in the country this would show
that IA per cent of all the cars owned
by railroads are stored on railroad
tracks Waiting for loads. Figuring
the value of cars at $1,000 each and
of locomotives at $4,000 each the
statement shows that the railroads
have $440,000.O0O tied up in rolling
stock for which there is no present
use. The great shortage in rolling
stock last year caused large orders
for cars to be placed by railroads.
AS late as October the reported short.
age was $1,000 cars. .-
Estimating the average freight train
at forty cars the 100000 cars now idle
would be equivalent to 5000 trains,
for handling each of which four mon
are ordinarily required, so that it may
be estimated that more than 10000
men less are needed than if all Of
these cars were in service. Many men
have been laid off, the New York Gen.
trial.. for example, since the beginning
of this month has laid off enough to
make saving of $250,OO0 a year, in
addition to previous cutting down of
its force, and many others have been
placed on short time. But fixed
charges of a railroad must be met in
dull times as we'll as in active and
maintenance and other expenses must
be provided for and in view Of all the
facts the arrangements of many rail-
roads are understood to be discussing
the question of reducing wages, as a
disliked, but necessary, measure. -
