Hon. ]. Wallis Lewis Here.

Hon. j. Wallis Lewis, representing
this county in the State Legislation,
made a trip home the last of the week
for the purpose of learning the de.
sires of his constituents on the vari.
Gus propositions for the building of a
new capitol.
There are three propositions before
the legislature viz: For a 5000, ,OOC
bond issue to run so years; for s.,
600, 900 bond issue to run 10 years;
for s., 900, 600 to be raised in 8 to
years by direct levy.
Mr.. Lewis informed a representa-
tive of The Times Monday evening
that the sentiment in Bates county
seemed to be almost unanimously in
favor of the latter proposition.
Mr.. Lewis said: II believe this to
be the wiser course to pursue, Al
though l would certainly act in ac.
cordance with the desires of the peo-
pie of Bates county, l would person
ally be very much opposed to saddlinp
a s., 600, 900 or S, 600, 900 bond issue
upon our children when we can raise
the necessary funds by direct levy
which will not in any way be burden.
some. It is estimated that two cent
levy would pay principal and interest
on thirteen year bond issue, and
leave a surplus of $3.50, 900. This
being the case, would not a direct
levy of cents more than pay the
same amount in from three to five
years. If 50, why saddle bonds onto
the people of the state"

Murder at Rich Hill.

John Meet, Swede, aged about
80 years, was stabbed to death near
the Missouri Pacific depot in Rich
Hill by party or parties unknown.
The Review says:
Meet was a member of the extra
gang of workmen who have been
laying the new steel on the Missouri
Pacific railway. Together with other
members of the gang, he had been
dissipating Saturday night. When
the time arrived for the closing of the
saloons, most of the men went to
their hunks in the cars, but it seems
that Need and another man, known
amongst his co-workers as Irish,
failed to get in with the rest of the
gang. A few minutes after twelve,
so the testimony offered at the coro-
ner's inquest shows, Need appeared
at the cars crying for help, saying
that someone had stabbed him.
Constable Stangle was summoned
and with the aid of others took the
wounded man into the depot, where
he died within a few seconds without
giving any information that might
lead to the arrest and conviction of
his assailant.
A number of parties suspected with
having knowledge Of his assailant
were placed under arrest, but were
later released.
A coroner's jury was called and at
9 o'clock Monday night rendered a
verdict that the act was committed by
parties unknown, and with full intent
to kill.

FOUR GOOD BILLS.

Hon. J. w. Lewis, representing
Bates county in the State Legislature,
is the author of four bills which in
importance will rank among the fore.
most introduced during the present
session, and his bill relative to the
transportation of pupils in rural dis.
tricts is of especial importance. This
bill provides that upon petition of lC
taxpayers of the district, the board OF
directors of any school district may
submit to the voters of the district the
question of providing transportation
for the pupils of such school district,
living more that 1-2 mile from the
school house, to and from school.
Mr.. Lewis other bills are, an act
relating to the adoption of the con-
tract system of working roads in
counties having having township
organization; an act creating State
stallion registration board; an act to
appropriate 5000 to promote the
growing of improved corn.

The RowdOn Concert

On Monday evening a full house
greeted Prof Rowdon and his pupils
at the Methodist Church, and they
were not disappointed in the enter
tainment. The Nianar Quartette,
consisting of the Misses Carrie F.
Spaulding, Ethel Brainard, Erva
Trow and Lille DIPPED, rendered
their parts especially well, and Mr.
Jack Dunn with his violin and Miss
Terry at the piano completed the
list of participants.
1t is generally conceded that Miss
Terry does just about anything that
can be done with the piano, and Mr.
Dunns mastery of the violin make
Blackfoot audiences hungry for more
from the same source. There is some
talk of getting up fine musical pro-
gram in which these two instruments
shall play the greater part, and when
the date is fixed for it that is about
all the advertising 1t will need to
draw full house.

v. l. s. MEETING

The Society, after considering the
unusual strain of activities the last
three years, have about concluded to
rest on their rest on their oars for
season. They would like, however,
to hold the society together with the
officers and committees ready to lend
a hand with the progress of work
under way and any matter that may
come before them for consideration.
With this end in view the presi-
dent, Mrs. West, would like full
attendance next Tuesday, May 2, at
the club room in the City Hall.
Should it be advisable to carry out
the above suggestion, Mrs. West
would like to arrange for short
program at each monthly meeting.
perhaps have each committee take
charge for a month, presenting such
subject matter as would have spec
ial bearing on their part Of village
Improvement. The idea seems good
and practical as we'll as instructive
and to the point. We hope the faith
full ones will be rewarded by a good
attendance.

Interesting Concert

The concert given Tuesday evening
| in the Methodist Church by Miss Ora
Caldwell, soprano. and Miss Cora
Holmes, pianiste, was largely attend.
ed by friends and lovers of music
and the most gratifying surprise was
experienced by everyone.
Miss Holmes playing exhibited a
great deal of delicacy of touch and
regard for the fineness of phrasing
that has made very warm friends for
her as pianiste. A special feature
of her playing was the manner OF
presenting the Asses Death number
from the Peer Gynt suite by Greig.
In this number she created atmos-
phere that would have pleased a
mature artist, and certainly won well
deserved recognition from the audi
ence
We have all taken the matter of
Mr.. Rowdon's work as teacher to
be an established fact of general
knowledge, and in the manner of
Miss Caldwell's appearance and sing
ing there was ample proof of all we
have been expecting from a product
of the Rowdon studio.
This is the first public recital that
has been given by any of his pupils
and it is subject of congratulatory
comment that it was a success far
beynod the expectation of any of his
friends or the friends of Miss Cald-
we'll.
In speaking of the singing of Miss
Caldwell from the critical point, there
would be some things that should be
carefully considered, as likely to af-
feet her future as singer.
These are the qualities that are
requisite for singer:
Her musical conception is good,
her phrasing as rule clear and in
telligent, her articulation and diction
have yet to be developed and show
to some degree the lack of intensity
which is not unusual in a young
singer. The voice itself is of very
pleasing quality and at times is full
of such purity and clarity that it is
most appealing.
In summing up it may be said that
lit jsryery unusual for young singer
to have 8 tI.sSi;s'.ssaf beauty u char
acter of tone, and who sings win
SO much freedom and accuracy.
@All who heard her in this initial
concert were enthusiastic in praise
Of her singing and went away feeling
that it had been great pleasure to
|have heard her, which was expressed
many times in the hearty and spon-
taneous applause which greeted each
song 49,,

and being a tax on their working
capacity, was a severe strain on ami
mails and people, who are expected to
give two exhibitions with the attend
ant duties of nomadic life. The trav-
ell by night and the work of transpor-
tation from the railroad to the camp
ing grounds, proper erection of the
ton of the necessary equipment. is
sufficient demand upon men and
horses. To add q long preamble over
cobblestones under the broiling sun
of summer, with the thermometer at
100 in the shade or depressing rain
storm, with the train sometimes late,
and the parade behind time, is a
nuisance to the public and hard
ship for the exhibitors. In avoiding
this Messrs. Cody and Lille find that
the performance Is greatly enhanced,
storekeepers have opportunity to
Go business, the out-of-town visitors
have time to do their shopping, and
the wheels Of commerce are not In
terferred with and rational enjoy
ment Is assured.
While there will be no street pa
rade of the conventional sort with the
Wild West and Far East the trans
fer of the Indians in their picturesque
garb, the musical elephants and cam
els, used in the Far East scene, will
constitute sight more interesting
and vastly more picturesque than the
street parade of the ordinary tented
exhibition. When the paraphernalia
arrives at the show grounds, with Its
hundreds of horses, the public will be
able to witness an equally picturesque
scene and unusual sight in the erection
of the Indian tepees by the band OF
hundred real red men and their
squaws who accompany the exhibition
