STORY OF THE
ROSE MAIDEN
Poem Of Imagination Will be Sung on
Next Friday Evening by
Good Voices,

The story of the Rose Maiden is
fine example of poem of the imagin.
atlon. Music Is pre-eminently fitted
to be the vehicle of the emotions. and
IT expresses, as no other agency can,
the emotions of the human heart. 1t
lends itself no less readily to the
caprices of the imagination. and
Governs musical setting for the fanci-
full story of the Rose Maiden. the
queen of the flower fairies, who at her
earnest request is changed to a hu.
man being, is an example of the high
est type of expression of the purely
imaginative. The story told in song
is indicated by the following outline:
THE Queen of the Flower Fairies.
weary of life of unbroken calm,
prays of the newly returned spring
that he will bestow upon her also the
gift of love that he bestows upon man.
He warns her of the risk she runs,
but finally yields to her entreaties by
changing her while she sleeps into
the form of a beautiful girl. Under
the name of Roseblossom, she wand
ers through the world to find the
love that she seeks, and meets with a
girl, who, having been betrayed and
deserted by her lover, loses her senses
and dies broken-hearted But, unde-
tered from her search, Roseblossom
becomes the wife of forester with
whom she lives for time in such per-
feet happiness that she cannot survive
his death The elves bewail the fate
of their queen, and curse love as fatal
to peace and happiness"
The four solo voices and a chorus
Of 1876 voices will be employed to tell
this story. The soprano is Roseblos-
som herself. The alto has the part Of
the gardeners daughter and warns the
queen of the Flower Fairies of the
certainty that sadness will be her lot,
if she forsakes the fairy world and
enters into the life of humanity. The
part - the forester, whom Roseblos-
som marries, is taken by the tenor
voice. The baritone voice assumes
the form of spring, and has descrip-
tive narrative part and no impersona-
ton.

A BIG TIME
IN DUBUQUE
EIks State Convention is to be HELD
There on June is and

The following from Dubuque news
paper tells of the preparations being
made for the Elks convention next
month, which will be attended by a
number of Keokuk members of the or
der:
If the plans of the committees
in charge of the third annual reunion
of the Iowa state association, B. P. o..
E., to be held in Dubuque June 16 and
II, materialize, the event will be the
most extensive of the kind ever held
in Iowa.
The most important feature has
been arranged, that of securing con-
cessions from the railways in the
matter of rates. The committee on
transportation has secured from the
Western Passenger association one
and one-half fare for the round trip
from all points in Iowa, and an effort
is being made to have the same con-
cession made from points in Wiscon-
sin and Illinois. 1t is expected be-
tween 1000 and 5000 visiting Elks
will be in the city on the occasion Of
the two days session.
The local lodge has adopted the plan
of raising the money with which to
defray the expenses practically from
within the local order, and arrange
ments are going forward on large
scale.
The convention proper opens on
Wednesday, June 16, although the in
flux of visiting brothers and their Ia
dies will begin an Tuesday and the
festivities really will open on that day.
A social session has been arranged for
the evening of Tuesday, and general
good fellowship will hold the boards
throughout the daylight hours.
On Wednesday. the nominal opening
day, the morning will be devoted to
meeting the visitors at the trains with
bands, the registration of delegates
and the general arrangement of pre-
! liminaries. In the afternoon the Wis
itors will be treated to boat ride on
the Mississippi. In the evening open
house will be the order at Union park,

special program will be rendered at
the vaudeville house, the new auditor
ium, seating 5000 people, having by
that time been completed.
On Thursday morning will occur the
big Elks' parade, for. which neither
time nor money will have been spared.
1t is the purpose of the committee to
make this pageant the most elaborate
ever witnessed in the state.
In the afternoon the business ses-
1 sion of the event will be held, after
which there will be a reception tender
ed the newly elected officers and dis
! tinguished visitors, closing with a
grand farewell party at headquarters.

the national encampments had never
favored Sunday.
L. A. Berryhill objected to setting
aside the day and wanted to know
what the objections were to having it
on Sunday. Congress had set the day
for the Goth, and he did not believe the
G "A. R., or any one else had any
authority to change it. He believed
there would be the greatest crowd
ever present on Sunday. The laboring
men could attend without losing a
half days work. If Sunday was too
nice or too good a day to decorate the
graves, he suggested abandoning the
matter He would like to see Memoir
ial day changed to the last Sunday of
May each year.
Mr.. Evans said that it was news to
him that Congress ever had anything
to do with Memorial day.
Mr.. Dougherty offered an amend
ment that Sunday be observed in
stead OF Monday.
The amendment was lost and Mon
day was fixed as the day.

he would prefer the flowers being
brought to some place else than the

DR.. Shaffer suggested that the city
pay the bills this year as had been
done last year.
Chric Lock asked if there would be
a military band and everyone agreed
that there should be.
The chairman announced that the
meeting last evening was attended
larger than for some time previous
and DR.. Shaffer recalled a meeting
held once in the U. S. court room at
Fourth and Main when $50 people
were present.
