MISS BAUMAN's READING.

A splendid audience greeted Miss
Iola Bnuman, who gave reading
at the Opera House last Friday even
ing under the auspices of the Ladies'
Aid of the Presbyterian Church.
Miss Bauman is known to many OF
our people as a school girl here sew
eral years age and has many friends
among the younger people. Since
then she has developed into charm
ing and gracious young woman of
culture and gift as reader and
teacher of expression. Her recep-
tion by her Pennington friends and
former classmates was warm and
sincere, as we'll for her genial per.
sonalty as for her successful attain
ments. She was assisted by Miss
Beach Of Oklahoma, student of
Hardin College, Mexico, Mo-, who
was here the guest Of her classmate,
Miss Ethel Morris, Miss Clark of
Elmwood Seminary, and Mrs. c. O.
Nelson, with delightful vocal solos,
and Miss Cayce and Miss Morris as
piano accompanies. Each of the
singers was rapturously encored.
The audience was charmed and de-
lighted with Miss Baumau's read
ing. Her voice Is sweet and under
perfect control; her Interpretation
Of the selections rendered true; her
expression pleasant, piquant, sad, as
the sentiment portrayed demands
her movements full Of willowy
grace. Only, her voice is hardly
strong enough for II large hall.
Every number was greeted with a
hearty encore, to some of which she
responded with selection not on
the program, and altogether her first
appearance in Pennington as a
reader was brilliant triumph.
Poor Richards Almanac saws:
"April will present variety of
weather; some pleasant and some
otherwise. There will be a rainstorm
on the Sth, and remarkably warm
weather between the llth and 18th.
There will be frequent showers
The frost will get out of the ground
early In the month, so that the plow
may start; but there will be hard
frost from the 18th to Goth. The
comet won't hurt you"

In relation to the consolidation of

school at Knob Lick. These dis
tricts voted on the question Of con
solidation AT the school election
Tuesday, under new provision Of
the school law, and three of them
voted In favor Of consolidation, but
in No. 81 II failed to carry. Two of
the districts are SO small, 1t Is said,
that the average daily attendance ut
school is only four or five, or eight
al most. The new school law pro-
vidcs three or more districts may
consolidate and establish central
school, and the three districts that
voted in favor of the proposition
may go on and do this, and 1t seems
that it would be well for the other
| district to join them.
