BAUER AT AUeUsTANA.

Of Harold Bauer. who is to appear
at Augustana auditorium Nov. 81
under the auspices of the cOnserva-
tory of music it is said that he is a
poet of the piano. Perhaps il would
be more accurate TO describe him as
a landscape painter of that instru-
ment. A comparatively young man,
Bauer infuses into his work tine
charm Of color rather than of mere
outline. One might almost describe
his artistic work as that of an i'm
pressiOnist, were IL not for his al
most perfect technic. He paints
things as he sees them: but he IS
careful not TO see them as they
should not be painted. To listen to
Bauer is to enjoy the pianists art
at its fullest development. From
the authoritative opening notes of
his first number, he always has the
rapt and intelligent attention of his
entire audience What impresses
one most in Bauer's playing is that
it is all so spontaneous and enforced.
1t seems as though the pianist must
always have been the consummate
master of his instrument that he is
today. His technic is superb. And

Saloon Men Settle.

Litchfield, Nov 1S.-Mrs. J. E War
den announced that the suits of herself
and her sons, Carl and Clarence,
against 10 saloonkeepers of southern
Illinois for the death OF her husband,
A. A. Warden, had been settled by
compromise. She declined to say
whether the saloonkeepers had paid
$4,000 to her as has been reported.
Mrs. Warden sued the saloonkeepers
for S25, 900 and her sons sued for $50, 900.
The ground of action in both suits was
that the saloonkeepers had sold liquor
to Warden, causing him to become a
habitual drunkard, in consequence of
which he became diseased and died.
