TEACHERS RECITAL AT
ELMWooD SEMINARY.

Despite the rainy evening the
Chapel at Elmwood was comfort
ably filled on Monday night to hear
Miss Hangar and Miss Slane, the
teachers of music and expression.
An Elmwood audience has scarce
ly ever heard finer rendition of
Liszt's Etude In ID Hat than was
given by Miss Hangar, and her
German songs were so clearly enun-
ciated that number of persons in
the audience who speak German
said that every word was distinctly
understood. Beethoven's Appas-
sionata Sonata was even heavier
than the Liszt number, and showed
clearly Miss Hangan's ability as u
musician.
The program closed with a song
by Saint Gaens, and the audience
showed full appreciation of Miss
Hangan's work by their continued
applause.
Miss Slane, the teacher of express
sion from Cumnock School of Ora
tory, North Western University,
gave the very pathetic reading,
"When Elizabeth Went Home"
This was followed by "Mon Pierre"
a French Canadian dialect story.
This comic reading was perhaps the
most pleasing number given by Miss
Slane, though the reading, "Her
First Appearance, by Richard
Harding Davis, showed Miss Slane
to be an artist In her line of work.

Once more the goodness of good for

him out into the clear sea when H.
O. Richards seeded from the Craw-
ford Vessey forces, later to flood the
state with denunciation of both the
senator and the state administration,
and still later OF the faction which he
had maligned. Mr.. Richards was
nermitted to write the platform, some
of the provisions Of which were openly
ridiculed by the rank and file OF the
| voters upon whom they were forced.
} 1t matters not that Mr.. Egan's
platform was Of the same general
character, so nearly the same, in fact
that he accused Richards OF stealing
his platform from him.
There was little reference to plat
form in Mr.. Egan'S campaign, and the
literary contributions to his cause
were the letters and circulars written
and distributed through the Richards
republican primary organization u
ing Mr.. Richards rebellious period.
In the meantime, Mr.. Egan finds
himself a chautauqua attraction OF
no mean order, still in splendid voice
and still the absolute idol Of the
voters of his home county, where his
tiercest conflicts have Deen Waged.

Mr.. Egan is a sailor of no mean

succeeded in setting his sail to catch

was fortunate enough to win the first
trial and see the second trial result
in a verdict that has generally been
pronounced a farce. He was fortunate
in not being engaged in the second
trial. Good fortunate still filled his
sails when the Minnehaha County
Bar association brought charges
against him and pursued him relent-
lessly, declaring that there was no
place for him in South Dakota. The
suspicion that the same forces placed
a woman nemesis upon his tracks TO
dog him out of the state and out OF
politics, added impetus to the waves
of good fortune which waited his boat
toward the desired haven.
AS if this were not enough to keep
him long in advancement toward the
goal of his ambition, the South Dakota
senators let down the bars for a con
test within the state by their position
on the tariff bill; they placed their
faction of the party on the defensive
