GREAT SUCCESS
Was The DeMillta Concert Given
Wednesday Evening

The DeMilita musical entertainment
company appeared at the Mulberry
street NJ. p. church on Wednesday
evening with the same persons that
were with it last year when such a
tremendous success was scored. The
music was excellent and was much ap-
preciated by those who attended. The
advance sale of tickets for the en-.
tertainment was very large and in ad-
dition to this, there were about sixty
tickets sold at the door. In ALL there
was something over two hundred paid
admissions, and as result, there will
be a clearance Of probably sixty dol
lars which will go to the w. G. A.
The musical numbers rendered by the
harpist, who is accompanied by other
members of the company, were grand
as Militia is an accomplished musician
and drew much enthusiastic applause.

Several ThfiIIGrS Secured
For The Occasion
Dare Devil Dash And Double
Parachute Leap
Athletics, Base Ball, Comedy
Company, Music, Etc., Etc

The Hiawatha Park association has
certainly been fortunate in the talent
it has been able to secure for its OPP
ening day program, Wednesday. May
20, and the whole affair promises to
be a credit to its present hackers, and
speaks well for the energy displayed
by these men in keeping this beauti-
full park open this season.
AS an instance of the attractions
they have secured, there is Walter W.
Raub, the aeronaut with the record of
never having disappointed a crowd,
in the course of over one hundred en-
gagements. Mr.. Raub's specially in
connection with his ascensions is his
remarkable parachute leap in which
he uses two parachutes, making really
two leaps at each ascesion. One as
cension will be made in the evening
and will be illuminated by fireworks
in the hands of the baloonist him
self
Dare Devil lJdSu is dHOIueT Oue vi
the reckless variety who is willing to
risk his life to please a crowd. He
rides down a hundred-foot ladder from
an elevation of seventy-fve feet and
dives into the water, freeing himself
from his bicycle in midair. It's a
great feature and like the balloon as
cension will be given both afternoon
and evening.
Under the direction of Mr.. e. E.
Bliss, the physical director of the Y.
M. c. A., a number of young local men
will give physical demonstration in
Guiding a military drill, recreatiye
games, corrective drill and competi-
tive races.
Altogether, with baseball in forenoon
and afternoon, with band concerts
and matinee and evening performance
es by the peerless Halls Imperial Com
edy Company, the day will be filled to
overflowing with entertainment and
the whole series of events bids fair TO
be what the local business men who
are operating the park, claim for it
"the best ever"

tie Irma Roberts while she was at play
in the Third ward school yard at re-

DEVOID
Of Interest We're The County
Primaries
Only One-Thifd The Vote
Out In Mt. Vernon
In Other Precincts Only IS
Per Cent Cast
II Was An Expensive Ex-
pefiGnCe To Taxpayers
As II viii Cost Knox County
About $4,000

The primary election law may be
good thing for counties in which there
are large cities, but for a county like
Knox it is an imposition on the people
and is failure.
Last year, to make nominations for
municipal and township Offices, it
cost the people of Knox county $4,000,
and the primary of Tuesday to name
county tickets no doubt will show
cost fully as much when all the bills
are paid
Tuesdays primary was absolutely
devoid of interest, as is shown by the
fact that an exceedingly light vote
was polled. The four contests on the
Republican ticket and the two on the
Democratic ticket we're not calculated
to arouse much interest among the
voters of either side so as to bring out
vote that was worth while, nor to
compensate for the large expense in
Holved
The lack of interest was shown ev-
en- in Mt Vernon where there is large
voting population to all of whom the
voting places are easily accessible, yet
not one-third of the vote of the city
was out.
Outside of Mt Vernon, all over the
county, the vote was much lighter
than in the city, and the canvass by
| the board OF elections showing that
not to exceed fifteen per cent. of the
vote was cast.
From these facts it is very apparent
that the voters of Knox county are
not much taken with the cumbrous
and expensive method of putting couu-
ty tickets in the field.
OF course, the time of holding the
primary is an exceedingly inconven-
lent one for the farmers, who are very
busy at this time of year, yet on Tues
day the rain kept them from any out
door work and even then they did not
go to the polls in any considerable
numbers.
In the towns of the county it would
make no differ ence what time Of year
the primaries were held, as the voters
could go to vote at one time as well as
another and their business be not in
terfered with, as the voting places to
such electors is close at hand. The
fact that there was such small turn
out in the towns, shows that even un-
der favorable conditions as to voting,
there is no interest in the method the
law imposes for making nominations.
No arrangement had been made for
receiving the returns of the primary,
so that information CT an absolutely
definite character was not available
Tuesday night, and complete figures
were not obtainable on Wednesday
on the last named day there being
twelve precincts from which informa'
ton had not been received, the returns
from which being sealed up in the
office of the board of elections await
ing their opening by that body at the
official canvass of Thursday.
