But" continued Madame GadsIu 'tnere
sung in English. The Mozart operas are
wonderful in English There are good
translations of these and there Will be
even better ones no doubt"
This plan of bringing the operas into
the tongue of the people here is receiving
so much attention from scholarly musl-
clans that there will be far better transla-
lions in the future. Some Of the American
publishers have taken great pains to have
much improved translations OF the classic
songs and there has been in the case of
at least one publisher very marked i'm
provement and the names of new transla-
tors who are musicians are frequently to
be met with. Formerly the translations
were done entirely by exclusively literary
men, but now that (shall we say Ito now
that musicians are being much better edu-
Gated along all lines than they used to be,
we are getting more and more reason to
hope for a better grade of translation.
.
With regard TO the attitude of the people
toward the Metropolitan Opera and the pos
sibillty Of opera in English, Madame Gadsh
holds pronounced Views which are i'm
mensely sensible. She says: I'm Paris, at
the Grand Opera, the works must be sung
IN French, except OF course in the case of
a guest-snger who sings better in his or
her own language; but the law Of procedure
is everything I'm French. In the Royal Opera
at Berlin, as typical Of Germany. the operas
must be sung I'm German with the same
exception OF course. In La Scala every thing
must be sung In Italian. So let America be
noted throughout the world for It's unique
position in having the one great standard
house where every opera is sung In the
language I'm which 1t was written. Oh. yes
1t must be the great Cosmopolitan Opera
! do not say that this should be so In other
houses Just the one great house. where
French operas are sung in French. German
operas in German, Italian operas in Italian
and English or American operas I'm English

Yes, when they come" with an accent

RECALL OTHER BAD STORMS
Weather Bureau Records Show Rock
County Cyclone as Fourth That
Has Devastated Wisconsin.

Madison.-Accordin to the rec
ords at the weather bureau at the
University of Wisconsin there have
been three disastrous tornadoes, in
which lives were lost in Wisconsin,
previous to the one near GAINESVILLE.
There are also others of a more re-
mote date which are not registered.
On July 7, 1877, the little village
of Pensaukee, Oconto county, was to-
tally destroyed by a tornado which
passed through the center of the
town. Eight persons were killed and
about fifty severely injured. Nearly
all the houses and outbuildings in
the village were leveled and the loss
to live stock and crops was large.
At Racine on May 18, 1888, a por.
ton of the city was destroyed by a
tornado and storm in which twenty
five persons lost their lives and 100
were injured The property loss
amounted to about 100000.
By far the greatest damage that
was felt by any part of Wisconsin,
through-a wind storm was in New
Richmond, when, on June 13, thirty
three persons were instantly killed
and within a week seven more had
died as the effects of the storm
which all but wiped that village of
the map.

Last Years Growth Has Raised Value
of Property Owned BY the Various
Express Companies in Wisconsin
from s., see, 500 to So, s6i, $3.50.

Madison-The assessed valuation
of the property of express companies
and freight and equipment lines in
Wisconsin is near more than doubled
in the preliminary valuation an
nouneed by the tax commission, re-
Gently appointed by Gov. McGovern.
The increase amounts to $780,
3O10O. The 1910 valuation was ST.
500, $4,000 and the new one is
S3,S61,8300O 1t is not likely that
this valuation will be cut to any
great extent in the two weeks before
the announcing of the final assess
ment.
The preliminary valuations as an
nounced by the commission are:
Adams Express company, $685.
600, as against $4,000 last year,
an increas of $4,000.
American Express company, $780,
900, as against $51S,000, an increase
of $4,000.
Northern Express company, for
merly the Northern Pacific, $500, 1000,
as against $4,000, an increase OF
$258,000. This great increase is
caused by the growth of the COM
pany's lines in the state.
United States Express company,
$4,000, as against $28,500, an in
crease of $21,750.
Wells Fargo Express company,
100000, as against $4,000, an
increase of $180,000.
Western Express company, $780,,

of $65, 1000
Pullman Sleeping Car company,
$1,130,0OO, as against S389s529, an
increase of $624,301.
The rate of taxation will be $11.18
per $1,000 of valuation. At this rate
the state will collect S43.175.16
from these companies. Figured at
this rate the increase in valuation
would mean an increase of receipts

At the home of George Schaffner.
near Hanover, six people almost mir
aculously escaped death. The house
was blown to pieces, and, although
there were three women and child
in it, none was seriously hurt. Mr..
Schaffner's mother, Mrs. Caroline
Schaffner, was thrown to the floor
and struck a sewing machine. a
heavy beam rested upon the machine
and just over her head. Mrs. Schaff-
ner is "a years old. Mr.. Schafner
and Mr.. Lehman were in the barn,
the building swept away, and al
though six horses were killed neither
Mr.. Schafner nor Mr.. Lehman re-
ceived a scratch. The escape Of Viii
liam Douglas and his family was
also thrilling. The house was wrecked
and although six persons were in it
none was injured Two of the daugh-
tiers were upstairs when they heard
the cyclone coming. They started
downstairs but the door slammed
shut in their faces and locked. Fran
tically they rushed to the head of the
stairs and threw themselves on the
floor, clinging to whatever they
could The roof was lifted from over
their heads.
Two miles north of GAINESVILLE a
house and a part of a barn were car
ried into Rock river. All telephone
and telegraph poles in the path of
the cyclone were snapped off and
wires line the roads.
A meeting of citizens and business
men of GAINESVILLE was held and tenn
porary relief arrangements provided
for the victims of the tornado.
Many of the residents of the terri
tory visited by the tornado are worse
than. destitute. They are not only
homeless but they are wounded. The
more fortunate farmers in the neigh
borhOod took the victims of the storm
into their homes and cared for them,
but relief of this character can at the
nent buildings and other relief must
be provided, or about $50 persons
will perish.
The gas company's plant, which
furnished light for the towns of Mil
ton and Milton Junction, is COM

and large tank of the plant were car
ried more than nalf mile away.
Pine trees, fifteen inches in diam
eter, were broken off and in an old
nursery $50 fruit trees were felled
in rows like dominoes.
Tobacco men are unable TO esti-
mate the loss of the leaf in the sheds
which were blown down. In some
places, fields of thirty-five and forty
acres of fodder and corn were swept
entirely clear and the fodder scat
tered over a large area. Huge silos
were lifted from the foundations and
moved several hundred feet.
