KEUTERVILLE ITEMS.

Ben Hussman visited relatives
and friends at Ferdinand Satur-
day and Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Luchtefeld,
of Cottonwood, were up Sunday
visiting friends and relatives.
Lawrence SCHNEIDER, Will
Schmidt and George Forsmann,
who had been visiting at Spo-
kane for a while, returned last
week.
Many people of this community
doubt that Mr.. Watts. the man
who disappeared on the 10Th of
February, committed suicide by
drowning himself in the Salmon
river. AS there seems some mis-
understanding regarding the
character of the missing man we
give the following extract from
a letter written by the post
master at Millet, Alberta, to the
post master at Keuterville under
date of March 21st, regarding
the missing man. He says that
he was we'll acquainted with the
Watts family and that they are
fine people whose character is
above reproach and that much
uneasiness is entertained by the
|. O. O. F. lodge, as Mr.. Watts
was member of that order in
good standing and adds that Mr..
Watts was good husband and
a kind and loving father, a man
of good morals and high char
acter. A son and step-son of
Mr.. Watts were here this week
from Alberta, Canada, to learn
the particulars of the disappear
ance of their father.

pleasure it will bring. Let the

not celebrated for two or three
years so let this years effort be
a big one. Invite Lewiston and
all the surrounding country here

Some of our neighboring towns
may be feeling a little envious
over the publicity that Cotton
wood secured on the Portland
excursion, but this should not be.
There was publicity to spare for
all sections of country represent
ed and the entire central part of
this state secured the publicity
rather than one particular Sec
ton. A boost for one was a
boost for all and each town should
look at it in that light and keep
the good work going.

Clements Recital Brilliant.

Those who passed up their Lenten de-
votions to pay tribute to art, and in
cidentally those in touch with the world
OF song, who were fortunate enough to be
present at the recital Of Edmond Glenn
ent, the lyric tenor of the Boston Opera
Company, at the New Willard yesterday
afternoon were rewarded with a treat
seldom vouchsafed a Washington au-
dience. There seemed to be but one
thing that diminished the pleasure of a
recital that was'almost an ovation to the
singer from the first number Of the pro-
gram until the last of the many encores
graciously given was heard, and that was
that those who did not know French were
denied the pleasure Of knowing what NJ.
Clement sang about. AS for the artist, his
voice, pure, clear, manly and wonderfully
under control, was doubtless heard at its
best in collection of French songs that
varied from the grave to the gay, some of
them familiar, others quite new to the
average concert patron. His program
was made UP with rare discretion leaving
no special taste unsatisfed. His rendition
of Caesar Franck'S LIE Marriage des
Roses and Debussy's Green" was de-
lightful, and the two seventeenth century
and one fifteenth century numbers, par
ticularly the latter, EN- PEASANT par la
Torrance" by Arcadet, were veritable
gems Arthur Rosenstein was the ac-
companist, and his work in Massenet's
lie Maze was particularly brilliant AS
a lyric tenor NJ. Clement has not had his
equal in local recital in years.
