CHORUS SINGERS HAVE FEAST
After Concert Tables Set and Re-
aponaen 60 Tonsta Made.

After Concert Tables Set and Re
sponses to TORsts Made.
Love OF country and love OF the land Of
nativity as portrayed by the medium OF
song characterized the concluding function
of the Saengerfest of the Saengerbund Of
the northwest
1t was the banquet to the 1900 singers
whose songs delighted the patrons of the
Auditorium during the last two days, and
as the spacious building reverberated to
the strains of "Luther's Hymn" 'WRcht
am Rheln" and MY Country It's Of Thee"
homage was paid to fatherland, country OF
adoption and to the memory Of one to
whom Germany owes its love for the songs
that touch the heart and inspire to things
that help to the uplift OF the world.
But before this finale stage was reached
there was a feast Of some of the good
things for which the healthy appetite Graves
iEtermixed with responses to tossts. There
were speeches and songs and the pathos,
the humor and the sentiment of the Ger
man land as depicted by It's singers had
as their interpreters those who appealed
earlier In the day to the critical judgment
OF a larger but not a more enthusiastic
audience.
The only speaker in English was Mayor
Dahlman, who made sly swlpe at one of
his opponents for the democratic nomina-
ton for governor. The mayor was abiding
to how Omaha had fulfilled its pledges to
the committee of the Omaha Saengerfest
association, and contrasted the action of
the city with that of Governor shallen-
berger, who, he said, had promised the
German people one thing. but had so far
forgotten his promises that he had signed
the o'clock closing law. Theodore Behr-
ems of Chicago. the new president of the
Saengerbund, and Hans Demuth of Sioux
Falls, S. D., the Poet of the Prairie" also
spoke, and the latter read telegram from
the Norwegian-Danish Singers Association
of America, signed by T. L. f. Hamann,
grand secretary, Minneapolis congratulate
ing the Saengerbund on the success of the
fest. las we both follow the same ideals
and have the same purpose long life to
the German singers" Val j. Peter also re-
>ceived the following telegram from DR.. c..
J. Hexamer Philadelphia, president of the
German-American National Alliance of the
United States: "Heartiest congratulate
on account of forming new state branch of
the National Alliance. May 1t have a pros
porous future"

BOXING GOOD FOR THE EAR
south Dakota Man Has Hearing
Restored by Blow ON Side of
Head.

SIOUX FALLS. s. D.. July 2s.-(special)
TO have the hearing in one of his ears re-
stored by a blow delivered while he was
acting as one of the principals in an imi-
tation Of the Johnson-Jeff prize fight,
was the experience Of Samuel Schwart, a
well known resident OF Harrisburg, a small
town near Sioux Falls,
Sohwart had been deaf In both ears for a
number of years and had been under the
care OF specialists without success. While
engaged in q boxing bout his foot slipped
on a loose board and at the same time the
right fist OF Arthur Smith, his boxing COM
panion, struck him violent blow under one
OF his ears. --.-'..
Instantly SchwArt heard a sound like the
rushing OF waters and now the hearing In
the ear has been fully restored. So pleased
is he that he now has offered a standing
reward OF $50 to anyone who will strike him
on the other ear with the same result

Shallenberger combination does not want

state an envelope dated at Greeley show
ing by It's stamp that It was received in
Lincoln at $3.50 o'clock Monday afternoon
James p. Boiler, an attorney OF Greeley,
sent the affidavlts to Matthews and today
the latter turned these over to Arthur Null
len. official solicitor for the governor, to-
gether with the envelope. Mullen discussed
the case with the secretary OF state and
was advised by that official TO sail in and
bring his suit
Matthews, representing the governor, was
after OMalley to get him to file for at
least a week before the time expired for
receiving nomination papers. What the OBJ
lection is to Thorp, who was formerly a

LONDON, July 2J.--It is believed that DR..
Hawley II. Crippen and Ethel Clara Le-
neve have reached Canada. Such import
ance is attached to the clue that Scotland

the Dominion to investigate
Superintendent Froest Of Scotland Yard Is
reticent as TO the supposed whereabout of
the wanted man and woman in Canada. 1t
was learned. however, that the police be-
lieve that Crippen and his companion

inspector Dow has been in direct charge
Of the search for the doctor and his typist

The Canadian clue appears to have put
new life into the Crippen search today.
The police have been watching CONT

agents and others who come in touch with
transatlantic passengers. 1t is under
stood that from one of those interviewed
was received the information which
caused the hurried departure of Inspec-
tor Dow for Canada.
Probability points to the Allan Line
steamer Sicilian as the vessel which the
police have in mind. The vessel sailed
from London on July o, the day of Grip
