ELIJAH HANDLED
IN MASTER STYLE
Mendelssohn Oratorio Beauti-
fully Interpreted by Au-
gustana Chorus.
GREEN SHINES AS SOLOIST
Chicago Basso, in Name Part, Gives
Inspiring Performance At
tendance Large.

Mendelssohn's greatest oratorio,
Elijah" was rendered in a mastery
fashion by the Handel Oratorio society,
assisted by a strong corps Of soloists.
at the Augustana chapel last night.
The chorus has never appeared to bet
ter advantage and 1t seemed TO be the
concensus of opinion of the enthusiast
tic audience present that il was one OF
the best oratorio concerts ever given
in the tri-cities.
The Elijah" is no doubt one of the
most difficult works the Handel sing
ers have ever attempted. They sang
as one man, and the careful training
which they had received from Mrs.
Edla Lund, director. was brought out
in every chorus. With every beat Of
her baton there was a response-and
that she was master of the situation
was well evidenced. Singing with
spirit and precision they brought out
all that was powerful, dramatic and
impressive in this inspiring oratorio. A
great deal of credit is due Mrs. Lund
for the perfect manner in which she
handled the chorus.
In the chorus, BE Not Afraid, Saith
the Lord" the Handel singers were
very effective, rendering it with
spirit and vim. He, Watching Over

and "Amina" have been Photographed
and music-racked for many months
past in Rock Island. The production
promised is most deliberately staged
in two acts and eight scenes, several
of the latter of which have already
gained much renown for their realism
and massiveness, particularly the set
ting showing the interior of theatre,
with its tiers of boxes, orchestra, bal
cony and real audience OF ESQ people,
which scene requires the services of
the entire company and $50 super
numeraries besides. Another scene
which has caused much comment is
that showing a tasty receding train
with its passengers OF real people oc-
cupying the observation platform.
The Midnight Sons" is one Of the big
gest and most pretentious productions
ever sent TO Rock Island, requiring
for its transportation a special train,
consisting OF three baggage cars and
three sleepers.

Taylor announces the long anticipated
engagement of The Midnight Sons,
one of Lew Fields biggest and most
popular musical successes which that
prolific producer has ever presented.
Usually musical comedies or the pro-

Broadway, but it is promised that Rock
Island will witness the same huge pro-
duction that amazed even the great
white way, with a stage massed with
beauty, filed with scenery and with
show girls in gowns that dazzle. The
entire production is said to be made
on such an elaborate scale that while
the ear is continually pleased with
tingling melodies. the eye is dazzled
with the kaleidoscope picture of
changing colors and spectacular
scenes. Mr.. Fields is sending TO Rock
Island an organization consisting of
nearly a hundred people headed by
George NJ. Monroe and many of the
company which appeared in the orig
inal production during its long en-

Israel, Slumbers Not" was another
part in which the chorus appeared to
excellent advantage
GREEN IN TITLE ROLE.
The support which the soloists gave
was of the highest order. The greater
part of the solo work fell upon the
shoulders OF Marion Green, the celebra-
ted basso cantante of Chicago, who
took the role of Elijah" Possessed
Of full, rich and powerful voice, he
sings with ease and grace, and when
ever called upon is able to put all the
dramatic power which is due his part.

that he is entitled to hold the name of

last night was magnificent, her clear
and beautiful voice being at it's best.
Hear Ye, Israel, What the Lord
Speaketh," was her best effort, singing
this solo with much feeling and ex-
preston.
The contralto solos were taken by
Miss Pearl Livingston of Moline, an
advanced pupil of Mrs. Lund. Her
singing was both credit to herself and
TO her teacher. Her sweet and pleas
ing voice entered well into the spirit
of the solo, Woe Unto Them Who

gave good evidence TO the effect that
his mellow voice has lost none of its

best hits of the evening, being given a
great ovation.

There were also numerous duets,
trios and quartets. Miss Amanda An
derson, a local soprano, and Miss Pearl
Livingston, also. gave a pleasing duet,

voices blending sweetly. Miss Ander-
sons work in this duet was especially
good. A trio. Lift Up Thine Eyes"
was taken by Mrs. Zendt, soprano;
Miss Nellie Freeman, second soprano.

were enthusiastically applauded for
their singing.
Both the chorus and soloists were
ably supported by the piano and organ.

War on Deputy Auditor.

An unusual law question has been
raised in Franklin county by the re-
cent action of the board of super
visors in demanding of the incom-
ing county auditor the appointment
of his opponent in the primary cleo
ton as his deputy The new au-
ditor, Frank McSpaden, has selected
and announced Chris. Marshall for
his deputy, but the supervisors call
ed Mr.. McSpaden before them and
notified him that he must appoint
Frank Luke instead.
This the new auditor refused to
do, and retained counsel to repre-
sent his side of the case, serving the
board with written protest against
the members determination to force
upon him deputy whom he did
not want.
In the meantime, the board re-
fuses to recognize Mr.. Marshall, who
has taken up his work Whether
the board will ultimately yield and
allow the deputy his salary for SER
vices is questioned. Mr. Luke was
McSpaden's opponent in the pri-
mary election.

UPPER IOWA GETS BIG REQUEST
T.. Ketchum Now of New Salem, Ida
no, Has Left an Estate Valued
mt About 100000.

The authorities of the Upper Iowa
University of Fayette have made an
announcement of a magnificent adj
ditional endowment for that institu-
ton. The addition to the endow-
ment came in the way of a bequest
from p. Ketchum of New Salem,
Idaho. He was formerly Fayette
county man and at his death recent
ly, it was found that his will con-
tanned this bequest to the college
in his home county. The amount of
the estate given is in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 or 100000. This
news is especially heartening at
this time as the college is just start
ing out on campaign for a half
million endowment. The present
amount of the endowment fund is,
about $225,000 and to increase this
amount to a half million, they have
released vice president, j. w. Dick
man from class work, and have also
called Rev. e. |. Brown from his
pastorate at Epworth, and these
will go into the field with r. w.
Cooper to raise this fund.

Smelled Kinder Funny.

A New Jersey farmer came to the
city the other day, says the New
York World, and, among other
things he visited a high class res
taurant. His appetite ran to cheese,
and inquiring of the waiter what
sort OF cheese was listed, remarked
that he desired something new"
Why don't you try bit of rogue
fort?" suggested the waiter What s
that?" asked the farmer. Hang it,
he added, bring me some. / like
the name anyway" He ate some
of it and liked it. So he thought
he would take some home to his
wife. Arriving late he laid the
small cheese, wrapped in silver pa
per on the sideboard He forgot to
inquire about it until the next night,
and then he asked his wife how she
liked it. '.Oh, | s'pose it's mighty
stylish up to the city, but jes
kinder couldn't use it. / couldn't
get no foam out of it, and when
washed the children they smelled
kinder funny, and / can't says
like it,"
