Mr.. Search In fine
Recital at Normal
AUDIENCE APPRECIATES BOTH
RENDITIONS AND CON-
POSITIONS

Frederick Preston Search delighted
an appreciative audience at the Nor
NAL auditorium in the opening mum
Der of the First Annual Artists
Course last evening and again re-
minded his hearers that music is
never stationary; successive forms
are only like so many resting places
like tents pitched and then taken
down again, on the road to the IDEAL
In the rendition of "Aria" by Bee
ker, From the Land of the Sky-blue
Water" by Cadman, "Andante Relig
ioso" and "Minuetto' by Becker, it
was evident from the. beginning that
Mr.. Search is an artist of unusual
ability, fine technique and pleasing
personality. His tones were deep,
wonderfully rich and fine and his en-
tertainment of last eveing showed
the artist to be all that the Germans
regard him in approaching the ranks
Of the foremost cellists.
The compositions of Mr.. Search
showed an extreme originality and his
can Evening in Tangiers" reflected
the spirit of the people of that city in
way that marked the artist as a
promising composer.
The last number ON the program,
the first movement from the Concerto
in D Minor, by Julius Klengel was by
far the largest and displayed the ar
tistic capability in both the master
and the pupil. Grieg's Sonata in A
Minor requires an artist at the piano
as we'll as at the cello, more so per-
haps than any of the other selections
of the evening, and showed Walter
Chapman to be such an artist. He
was very sympathtic and responded
to Mr.. Search's different moods. He
has splendid technique and beau
tiful touch, calling forth the clearest
notes.
The pleasure of the evening was
greatly enhanced by the willingness
of both Mr.. Search and Mr.. Chapman
in responding to the encores. Both
appeared during the chapel exer.
cises of today, rendering THE Swan
by saint-Saens, Peppers "Tarantella'
and Shubert's Serenade. Mr.. Search
has become widely known by his rem.
dition of "The Swan and the num-
bers of this morning were as much ap-
preciated as those of last evening.

Madison, Wis, July 2.-Offcials at

cuss the attack of President Edmund

that by her policy for public utility

of the state board of public affairs,

clined to make any reply.
After reading Pennington's state

TAXATION IN

The Cost of
Government

money and using a part of it to pay
bills which should be paid from rev.
enues. This is clearly the road to
financial ruin, yet it is to be feared
that some communities are trading
it, quite unconsciously, because their
public accounts neglect these funda-
mental distinctions, and unless these
distinctions are observed, a financial
statement tells little which it is i'm
portant for the public to know.
1t was in view of consideration
such as the foregoing that the SEIZED
ules for the present investigation in
to the cost of government in Mime
sofa were prepared so as to call for
a separation of special assessments
from taxes, of general revenues from
commercial revenues, of all ordi-
nary receipts from loans andother
extraordinary receipts, of mainte-
nance charges and interest from pay
ments for permanent improvements
and debt reduction, and finally, for
a classification of the outstanding
debt according to it's character and
the purpose for which it was incurred.
This undertaking is unavoidably
more or less burdensome for the ac-
counting officers who are called up
on to divide some of their accounts
in order to fill out the schedules, and
it is not less burdensome for those
in charge of the investigation, but
it will be well worth doing if it
brings more clearly to view the real
cost of government in Minnesota.
In a subsequent article, later in
the summer, it is hoped to give
some of the results of this investi
cation into the cost of government
in Minnesota.

BIG BANK ROLL WOULD
BRING VETERAN A Wife
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
William Lyman Chittenden, former
ly a Portland, Ore, merchant, and a
veteran of the Yakima Indian war,
and recent heir to a fortune of
$4,000, arrived in Mankato today to
visit his niece, Mrs. w. M. Strader,
at "The Jungle" in Belgrade.
This is Mr.. Chittenden's first visit
east of the Rocky mountains in
sixty years. He has been visiting a
relative, Attorney John C. Sweet,
formerly of Mankato, in Minneapolis,
for couple of weeks. He will re-
turn to Portland in a few weeks. He
is just back from the east where he
collected fortune of $4,000, left
him by his first cousin in Rochester,
NJ Y.
Mr.. Chittenden is native of Lex
ington, Mass, and when still a child
moved to Indiana. From that state
he and his father crossed the plains
in 1852 by ox-cart, finally settling in
Oregon where Portland now stands,
and engaging in the mercantile bust
ness.
Cousin Gave Him Aid.
Mr.. Chittenden owes his accession
to wealth to his cousin, Mr.. Sweet.
When Charles T. Chittenden, his first
cousin, died in Cayuga county, New
York, in December, 1911, he left
$150,000 to the Ithaca Y. M. C. A.
Many of his second and third cousins
decided to contest the will, and Mr..
Sweet was given charge of it. By
writing to several Chittenden fami-
hn CT hn

in the Old Soldiers Home at Rose
burg, Ore, for fifteen years.
Law In New York.
Under the law of the state of New
York the nearest kin would get the
money, the will left to the Y. M. C.
A. being written on four separate
sheets of paper with the signature
only on one sheet and being in that
measure invalid. The matter was
compromised, Mr.. Chittenden receiv-
ing $4,000 and the Y. M. G. A. re-
ceived the other portion.
Mr.. Chittenden said that he intend
ed living in Portland. He has a
daughter there who keeps rooming
house. He was living in the Old
Soldiers Home on pension of So
a month
Widows Are Interested.
Since it has become known that
Mr.. Chittenden has received this
money, widows, he said, from all
parts of the country have been writ
ing him. He said :'They are awful
ly glad of my good luck, and many
of them would like to meet me. One
wanted $500 to make repairs on her
little place, and another in New York
state congratulated me, and said that
as it was leap year she would exer
else a woman's prerogative, and pro-
posed to me. Oh, there's a lot of
them who are awfully glad to hear
of my good luck, and would like to
join fortunes with me-"
