Mayor Breitmeyer is disposed TO

fact that the league has used effic-

and the fact that saloons are being

MOST ENJOYABLE YET
Wednesday Night's.eoncert by the
Marine Band Was. Enthusiastic
ally Received BY. Audience.

One of the most enthusiastic auaA
fences which the .writer has ever seen
in the corn palace was present We'd
nesday evening, and it was an AUDI
fence of very large proportions, too,
There was an immense crowd of peo-
pie who stayed over for the evening
concert. and Went north and south
on the midnight trains.
The enthusiasm which was SO pre-
valent in the air reached the stage
and encompassed Director Santel-
mann and every member of the band,
for they seemed to- delight as much
in receiving the outbursts of applause
as the people did in extending it, and
as a consequence every member vas
encored and once Director santel-
mann was forced to resp6nd with a
second encore this occurring after the
magnificent rendition OF his own

tary band and it was presented IN
a manner faultless.
The opening number was a Wag-
q. selection, a.march from Tam
->aSS1. "a SSSOuu NdSHGI uuiIpSl
was on the program when the Aand
played "Rienzi". a selection that was
full of great tones and brilliant pass
ages, all of which were played With
consummate skill. Two of the high-
.ly brilliant numbers were the Chopin
waltz and 'Bandinage,". by Herbert,
the clarinet section being especially
strong in both; "
For the closing number the band
played "A Comical Contest, which
was very amusing. Each. section OF
the band vas arrayed against the
other as they played the most diff
cult cadenzas, but in. the end the Old
bass drum won. out. AS an encore
the band played the musicians strike
where they all deserted the director,
but returned M by one, the oboe
player coming. in and starting Aud
Lang Syne. One by. one the musi-
clans kept coming in and joining the
selection, and finally the director put

reigned again. -,
The soloists of the. evening gave
great pleasure. to 1.-the .saudience.
Messrs. .Witcomb. and ,Joergenson
played a cornet duetfthat vas a per-
feet gem in every way, and they were
recalled for another. Miss Lee and
Miss Lathrop sang. the duet from
Norma with band accompaniment,
which was rendered with fine skill
and effect. The ladies made a-great
hit and were recalled three times,
and finally a number.o of friends call
ed for "Home Sweet Home,' which
the ladies sang as a duet in a plain

were tendered'a genuine ovation, such
as their singing merited.

CATION. Previous to thai meeting the
Methodist church of this city held
its last quarterly conference to wind
up the business Of the church for the
year and to listen to the report OF
the pastor. DR.. j. S. Hoagland, who
assumed the pastorate of the church
the latter part of March. Some inter
esting facts are cleaned from the
statement of the pastor. He reports
fine progress along every line OF
work; the congregations have been
increasingly large. and the people
seem responsive to the gospel appeal;
the prayer meetings have averaged
100 during the past six months; the
same can be said of the Sunday
morning class meeting, which is
under the direction of F.. l.. Meyer;
the Sunday school is we'll organized
under the direction of Superinten-
dent Clarion D. Hardy, and shows a
fine growth since the systematic can
vass of the city was made by w. H.
Bacon; the Sunday school teachers
meeting each Wednesday evening af-
ter prayer meeting has been product
i've of much good; both Epworth
Leagues are alive and aggressive I'M
der the direction of Miss Fay Cor
win and Shirley Stout; the Ladies
Aid Society is made up of an army
of warm hearted, capable and cultur-
ed women which would be a credit
to any church on the planet, and Mrs.
B. A. Bobb, the president, by her tact
and good sense, is able to command
various divisions and bring success
to everything which the society an
idertakes; the Woman's Home Mis-
sionary Society has been reorganized
with Mrs. C.. v. Gilliland as presi-
dent, 400 %pastorate calls have been
made; Is have been baptized and re-
ceived into the church, and so more
are ready to hand in their letters,
and thus this church will have a
thousand members by gathering those
to the fold who should belong there;
deaths have been rare in the church
in the past six months; the commit
tees report on the pipe organ fund
will be made at the close of the Hur-
on conference, and it is expected to
get that enterprise and that of the
decoration Of the church started
soon.
The conference session passed the
following resolutions concerning the
faith and love the members have in
the work of DR.. Hoagland, and urge
the Huron Conference to return him
for another year:
Whereas, We the members of the

FRIDAY NIGHTS CONCERT
'rhe Audience Kept up the Same
Large Proportions for the Even
ing Marine Band Concert.

1t is remarkable and the same time.
gratifying to. see what large and
fences gather at the corn palace in
the evenings for the Marine band con
cert. Friday evenings audience was
equally as large as any OF the other
night audiences, and the enthusiasm.
was unbounded following the select
ions of tile band. which was kept
pretty busy playing encores. Twice
was the band recalled with double.
encores, and Lieutenant Santelmann
and his men yielded very graciously.
All the numbers rendered were
given with that finish for which the
band has become noted, and every
one of them was thoroughly enjoyed.
Two very pretty waltzes were played
one ".Maesmawr,' by Curtis and In
the heavier numbers Wagner's The
Flying Dutchman" overture, and the
grand scenes from Lohengrin, with
tie fantasia on airs from La Boheme,
constituted something of a high class.
Arthur S. Witcomb played a COR
net solo, "Creanonian Polka" that
was a gem and he was heartily en-
;cored for the splendid effort, re-
spending with Killarney. Miss Myrtle
Lee sang Tosti's "Goodbye'' with
fine effect and gave another select
ion with piano accompaniment.
The evenings music was eXcep-
tioltally fine and it was brought to.
a close by the band playing THE
Star Spangled Banner"

CROWD CONTINUES BIG
Though But Two Excursion Trains
Came in the Crowd Seems to be
as Big as Ever.

1t vas very gratifying to see such
an excellent crowd of people in the
city Thursday and came from the
Platte and Flandreau excursions on
the Milwaukee road. Those people
up Flandreau way have always been
a most loyal set TO the corn palace
and the case has been rare where they
have failed to fill the special train.
The special train from that city had
on fourteen coaches and every coach
was filled to the limit, being the larg-
est train hat has yet come into the
city. Considerably over a thousand
people were on the train. The other
excursion came in from Platte, and
there were 700 excursionists who got
off from that direction. When the
train came in from Chamberlain an
other large crowd appeared, number
ing 375. The west towns did exceed
ingly we'll when it is taken into con
sideration that they sent in a mighty
large delegation Wednesday. The
train from the north added fully 800
people to the crowd and the sidewalks
from the depot up to the corn palace
were filled with a moving mass OF
humanity. The night trains on the
Milwaukee road brought in many peo-
pie, even Thursday before any OF
the excursion trains we're in the
streets were filled quite we'll.
The Omaha regular train brought
in an exceptionally large crowd this
morning, the conductor reporting that

-HpW#HARMoNY is SOUGHT.

E-
There is some food for thought
In the harmony program of the re-
publican party. but it a hardly be
directed toward a solution Of the
situation between the factions. This
is emphasized IN the resignation of
Rcscr. Person as auditor in the
treasury department at Washington.
Ever since Mr.. Person displayed
some ingenousness in the campaign
In behalf Of Senator kittredge, and
since Senator. Crawford was success
ful, both he and Senator Gamble
have been trying to oust Mr.. Person
from his positiOn-merely as a pun
ishment for his activity. They were
unable to land on him. but at the
same time the scrap vas proving
very embarrassing to President Taft,
and Person had no idea of the pro-
prtety Of putting the president in the
hole-Which seemed to be lacking to
a marked degreeson the other side
0AA sACy W0AISU was W 6Sl lue JOO
for some insurgent leader. Rather
than continue the fight and place the
president in further trouble, Mr.. Per
son decided to tender his resignation
which he, did. and Immediately the
appointment of Lieutenant Governor
Shober was announced. In reading
over the declaration of purposes and
principles'', enunciated at the meet
ing last Friday in this city, we were
struck by the number of references
that were made to the matter of prin-
ciple which Is alleged to be involved
IN the light between the factions of
the republican party. In nearly
every paragraph something is said
concerning the principles Further
along 1t is stated or intimated that
the matter OF Office is not a con-
sheraton In the fight but that the
principlesa declared in the platform
of 1903 were to be supported. The
ink was hardly dry on the typewrit-
ten principles before it was announc-
ed from, Washington that Gamble
and Crawford had been successful in
ousting MI. Person from his position
on account OF too much republican
partisanship. Just where the prin-
ciple, enters into an act of this kind
I'VE cannot see It serves only to
make the breach wider and to indi-
catesthe Isss. sincerity on the part of
the insurgents that It is principle
and not odice which has actuated
them all along. We can understand
why . republican senatorial delegaz
Ition would he, anxious to wrest3 a
Job from o. democrat, hut why one
Experimentation be fred TO make
way for another, particularly when
harmony Is at stake in this state is
something ora mystery. It would
seem that the insurgents having re-
moyed all the stalwart ofic eholders
possible, andghave gone on record to
take away the appointing power Of
the stalYart Representatives in com
gress by endorsing the idea of the
party patrons voting for the appoint
ment ofSspostraasters, are ready to
talk harrnonya In the ranks. The har-
mony must ali come from the stall
warts. jgndging from the attitude of
the Finsurxents. We had hoped that
the unpleasant situation in the state
might be overcome. but the actions
Iof the insurgents have made the
thing practically impossible.
