duct rehearsals, and as q result q
"band revival seems to have been
started. All of the players inter.
viewed by the Tribune expressed
themselves as more than willing to
take a hold" and with a good
leader there is no reason why they
shouldn't be able to organize and
maintain a first class musical or
ganization. One of the handicape
in the past has been the lack of
suitable quarters for practice, but
this hindrance has now been re-
moved, inasmcuh as the Athletic
Club has already promised to allow
the boys to have their rooms at
Bonde Hall certain night each
week.
It is sincerely to be hoped that
the movement now started will re-
suit in the organization of a band.
We need it, we have the talent,
and we feel assured that the right
kind Of an organization will receive
the support of every public spirited
citizen. A meeting to discuss the
proposition will soon be called and
we trust every one interested in
band music will be present.

Second Rendition of ..Ruth''.

~~~oo~o 0o~13S10O
The chorus choir of the Synod
church scored another triumph
Monday evening in its second rem
dering of the cantata Ruth" The
chorus work was fully as good and
the soloists even hetter than the
first time. Special mention must
be made Of Mr.. Philip Gates, whose
rich and beautiful basso was heard
to excellent advantage in the solo
parts Of Boaz. The other soloists,
Mrs. J. R. Petersen, Miss Helen
Sather and Miss Constance Gran
gard, also sang their parts we'll.
The accompaniment was again ex-
cellently played by Miss Leonora
Boyd. Miss Boyd seemed to mas
ter with comparative ease the diff
cult task of leading the chorus and
yet making the piano music subser-
Went to the vocal score. The work
of the chorus was again effectively
directed by Mr.. Geo. o. Lillegaard.
A piano solo by Miss Laura Jor-
genson, vocal solo by Miss Helen
Staher and a short address by Rev.
Andersen preceded the rendering
OF the cantata. The proceeds were
about the same as the first time,
$50. This makes the total of the
Young Peoples society's pipe organ
fund about $4OO.

week. when S. E. Magnuson, late
Of The Fair general merchandise
store, purchased the furniture
stock of A. D. Campbell Furniture
Co.. located in the Ames block. In

short time.
Mr.. Magnuson is in position to

was in Minneapolis last week and
purchased an addition to the stock

every respect. He expects to push
his new store with energy and give
the people of the city and country
good bargains in his line. Watch
for his announcement.

The point DR.. Johnson makes
elsewhere touching the Importance
to business of this city of the freest
possible communication with the
outside world is we'll taken. To
permit some corporation to take
charge of our highways and charge
whatever toll they please from all
who enter our city would be the
same in principle as our present
telephone situation. The telepohne
takes the place of a great share of
the former travel on the roads. It
is a public utility that should be
controlled by the people.

Day is Next Friday.

Menominee, Ecsanaba, Marquette,

ed. The first concert in Minnesota
was held at Duluth April Is. Still
water enjoyed a concert last night,
and tonight the band appears in the
auditorium at Minneapolis and to
morrow night at the st. Paul Audi
torium. On Friday the band gives
two concerts at Willmar and on Sat-
urday it appears twice in St. Peter.
Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas will
next be visited, with concerts at
Sioux City, Lindsborg, Omaha and
DesMoines, after which they return
t.. Illinois. appearing. in Burlington,
Rockford, Aurora and some other
places. On the return trip to New
York concerts will be given in Erie
and Warren, Pa.
The tour of the band SO far in
this country has been veritable
artistic triumph. In most of the
places visited they have appeared
under the auspices of local musical
organizations, some of them famous
far outside of their home towns,
and who thru long years of labor in
the musical field have created a
discriminating taste in music
among their countrymen; and be-
fore these critical audiences the
band has appeared and played its
way into their very hearts. There
is no doubt that this will be the
greatest musical treat ever offered
the people Of Willmar and vicinity,
and no one can afford to miss it.
A report has gone out that all the
tickets have been sold for the Wilt
mar concerts. This is erroneous.
The advance sale of tickets has been
large, but there are still some BAL
cony seats unsold for the evening
concert, and it is expected that all
who cannot buy evening tickets
will be accommodated at the after
noon concert. The latter gives the
country people a chance to enjoy
the concert and still return to their
home before night. Let no one
stay away for fear of lack of room.
We are sure no one who feels in
terested will regret coming to Will
mar on this occasion.
TIE following are the programs
tor Afternoon and evening, and they
abound in selections that will thrill
the hearts of all who still retain
any feeling for the old home in the
NOrthland.
