"The Runaway Banker"

Seventy-five per cent of the Sc
called rural comedies are failures be-
cause of their absolute absurdity
and their tendency to make our
honest farmer ludicrous a character
overdrawn. You can count the sue
cessful rural dramas on the fingers
of one hand and then have the thumb
left. There are just four in which
the characters are not overdrawn and
true to life, "Shore Acres, F" Way
Down East" 1.-The Old Homestead"
and ''The Runaway Banker" The
last named is a drama which has be-
come notable through its perfectly le-
ultimate comedy situations, which
never fail to please even the most
biased auditor, hence its unqualified
success with it's splendid audiences
everywhere. The cast is an organiza,
ton marked for its artistic attainment
and the hit which both play and com
pany have made is attested by the
continuous applause .and laughter
which is heard at each performance
This play will be at Seaver's hall on
Thursday evening and our local thea
ire goers will then have an opportuni-
ty of judging personally of the mer-
It's of both company and play.

DEDICATION AND ORGAN RECITAL

The dedicatory organ recital at the
congregational church last evening
was not only a. rare treat:.to- those
who are musically1 inclined but was
much appreciated by those who have
no special ear for music. The work
of Mrs. Margaret Gorham Chaser of
Boston, who presided at the organ,
was exceptionally good. She plays
with rare technique and her selec-
tions were such as to bring out the
various parts of the organ and their
powers, proving that the organ is
what is claimed for it. Mrs. Chaser
is an organist of exceptional ability
and Barton people hope to be able to
hear her again.
Miss Claribel Somers of Boston,
mezzo-soprano, is we'll known here and
our people expected much from her
but she gave them a pleasant sur
prise. Her voice is rich and full and
of unusually sweet tone. She sings
with rare expression and her stage
manner is delightfully."- unassuming,
entirely devoid of that affectation
and mannerism which is so often seen.
Miss Somers will be ranked as the
equal of any meZZo-sOprano ever
heard here.
One of the special features of the
recital was piano and organ duet
by Mrs. Chaser and Mrs. Marjorie
Batchelder Bishop This number
was especially pleasing and showed
rare Skill on the part of both. of the
performers.
The church was we'll filled, quite a
number being present from Orleans,
Newport and Lyndonviile.
The organ was made and installed
by the ]. w. Steere and Son Organ
Company of Springfield, Mass. 1t is
equipped with the WeigIe Tubular
Pneumatic System which makes the
action Gs easy as that of a piano
even though the full organ may be in
use.
The Great Organ has four stops and
244 pipes: the Swell Organ six stops
and 354 pipes: the Pedal Organ stops
90 pipes; total of II stops and
658 pipes. There are also Is mechan-
lcal stops, pistons, accessories, etc.
The organ fills the entireSalcove at
the back Of the rostrum where the
piano and old vocation were formerly,
and is handsome addition to the in
side decoration and ornamentation of
the church.
The local purchasing committee
who have had entire charge of the
purchase and installation of the or
gan is J. F. Batchelder, W. S. Hib.
bard, and w. M. Wright.

Barton Man Witness in the Eddy Case

DIR. A. T. Boswell was called to

bered that Mr., Boswell was formerly
prominent in Christian Science work,
having been Mrs. Eudy's private sec
rotary, residing in her Boston Meta
physical college for nearly three
years and held many important Offices
IN the movement. 1t is especially
worthy Of note that the late founder
of Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy,
whose name has n-become famous
throughout the civilized world, and
whose teachings whether we believe
themsor not will go down in history
as one of the most remarkable devel-
opments of our age, was the guest Of
Mr.. Boswell at his Barton home dur
ing the summer of 1882, at which
time she lectured in the Methods t
church here. 1t was at his home that
she Lwrote the interesting poem in
spired by Barton Mountain, published
in her miscellaneous Writings.'
Subsequently Mr.. Boswell lectured in
several towns in this vicinity on
Christian Science and was successful
in treating a number of difficult cases
by the metaphysical methods.

MINOT IS AFTER
MUNICIPAL PLANT

Minot, N. D., Feb. 23.--The first
real substantial move toward the much
talked of municipal lighting plant for
the city of Minot was made last night
when the city commissioners entered
into a contract with the firm Of Burns
e. Mcdonald of Kansas City, Mo-.
whereby they will furnish facts and
figures to the city covering the proba-
BILE costs of installation, the cost OF
operation and the practicability of a
municipal electric lighting plant.
G. e. Hines, representing the
Burns Mcdonald company, appeared
before the city commissioners and
stated that he would furnish the facts
and figures desired for the sum Of
$3.50; this sum looked reasonable to
the commissioners and the mayor and
auditor were directed by the board to
enter into contract with Mr.. Hines to-
day, copies Of the contract having been
submitted to the board and approved
by them last night.
Burns e. Mcdonald Co. is one Of the
best known companies in existence to-
day; they are known throughout the
country as civil hydraulic and sani-
tary engineers of good repute and
their references are unquestioned.
At present the concern is doing NUM-
cipal work ct Miles City, Livingston
and other Montana cities, and also at
Mandan, N. d.
Mr.. Hines stated last night that he
would make every effort to have the
necessary information and data at
hand for the citizens Of Minot to di-
gest ten days before the regular spring
election, this means that IL the plan
to build municipal lighting plant APP
peals to the city as feasible and prac-
tical, the taxpayers win have the OPP
portunity to vote bonds for the new
plant at the coming April election.

REFUSES TO
SHOW BOOKS
COUNTY TREASURER OF Will.
LIAMS DENIES ACCESS TO
DIVIDE COUNTY OFFICIALS.

Minot, N D., Feb. 2S-Application
for writ of mandamus compelling
the treasurer of Williams county to
give the new officials of Divide county
access to the books, SO that the records
may be transcribed for the new county
will be made before Judge Fisk, the
new judge of the Eleventh judicial
district.
Treasurer Noonan and States attor-
ney Brace of Divide county are in the
city looking up the law on the subject
and they stated writ mandamus will
be sought.
AS the matter now stands, the hands
OF the Divide county officials are tied
absolutely. They cannot collect any
taxes, for they have no records. Every
thing has to be done through Williams
county, although the organization OF
Divide county is completed.
