HER BEAUTIFUL SONGS.
Nile Van 0'Tea Bird SOngstress at
the Lyric.

How Manager Rosenberg. of the
Lyric Theatre, Market Space, can
give the vaudeville that he is giving
this week for a nickle is a question
difficult of solution.
Tire song bird Nile. O'Tea, or a she
is also known on the stage as Nine.
Mayne-Windsor, is a vocal genius.
Nile. O'Tea (or Windsor) has beau
tiful voice. well trained, and highly
cultivated. She sings exquisitely.
and her high notes are clear and
sweet, as are also her lower notes.
Her voice is 4 pure soprano lirico,
limpid in quality and of extraordinary
compass. She sang in handsome cos.
tune several selections Of the clas-
sizes, and those of more popular every
day songs. She will be here the rest
of the week and is we'll worth hear
ing.
The pictures were excellent, and the
illustrated songs by Miss Breinner
were especially we'll sung and an at.
tractive feature of the Lyrics bill.

HOSPITAL BOARD MEETING.
Report of Cases Treated-Printing
Contract Awarded-Vacancy
Created on the Board.

At the regular monthly meeting
Of the Board of Managers Of the An
naplis Emergency Hospital Associa-
tion, Mrs. John William Martin,
president, Miss K W. Randall. Sec
retary, held this morning in the
hospital board room, 4he superinten-
dent. Miss Rosamond Minis. sub
mitted her monthly report as follows
for the month ending December 81,
1911:
Number Of patients treated, 80 (;
free cases, 27; pay cases, 12; number
Of accident cases, 6; number of cases
dressed, 43; operations, IL; deaths, 5.
1t is understood the resignation of
the recently appointed orderly was
considered, but no action was taken in
the case.
The resignation of Mrs. Gage, a
member of the Board Of Managers,
was presented, at the same time COM
mendiug as her successor Mrs. Wal
ter II. Hart, of Eastport, lady
we'll fitted for the position, and
closely interested in hospital work,
her daughter being at the head of
one of the largest hospitals in the
country.
Mrs. Cages resignation was oc-
casioned by the fact that she did
not care to lose her identity with
her chosen work in journalism be-
cause of her membership on the
Hospital Board, the board having
taken exception to a recent editor
ial, not as the voice of the press. but
because one Of the staff was a mem

gers.
As the former members life work
is given to the local daily, the paper
does not care to stultify itself by the
membership of the board, but pre-
fers free speech when for the good of
all parties concerned.
At this mornings meeting the con-
tract for printing the House Rules
Governing the Nurses Training
School was awarded to Mr.. w. Meade
Holiday, his being the lowest bid of
the three submitted to the board.
It is understood the board took no
action in filling the vacancy created by
the resignation presented this morn

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Defer Appointment of Police Officials
Until After Grand Jury Finishes
Lynching investigation.

/ The County Commissioners on Tues
! day took up the question of appointing
/ the police officers for the Fifth dis
trict, also the trustees of the County
Home, but it was not deemed expedi-
ent at this time to make the appoint
ment of the police officials, because of
the pending investigation by the
grand jury of the Brooklyn lynching
outrage.
1t was also decided to defer appoint
ing the trustees of the County Home
until some future meeting. 1t is ru-
mored that changes will probably be
made n the police force, but the Off
cials will not discuss the situation.
The board received letter from Mr.
Lewis II. Green, the newly-appointed
county engineer. in which MIR. Green
states that it will be impossible for
him to assume his duties until Janu-
airy Is.
Mr.. Green has been employed in
Orange, N. j., and it was explained
in the letter that he would be unable
to close up his work before the date
mentioned. In the meantime, Mr.. f.
- - illdllf WllOSC Resignation WAS TO
have taken effect on January /. has
agreed to hole over until the arrival
of MIR. Green.
Former Sheriff Frank S. Revell
filed his report, together with a check
for 1881, for fees and costs collected
in different instances.
The Board received and accepted the
resignation of Constable Huber. of the
Fifth district. No successor was
named.
The committee composed of Presi-
dent Smith and Commissioners Brown
and Pettebone, appointed to inspect
the lookup at Brooklyn, with the view
of recommending needed repairs, made
its report. and the question of repairs
was referred to President Smith, with
power to act.
The committee found the lookup in
an unsightly condition, being badly
in need of repairs, and besides, many
alterations and additions will he made.

HOUSE AND ECONOMY
Battle For Reduction And Publicity
in Naming Employees Trans
ferred Today.
SENATE SESSION SHORT.
Upper House Only in Session Brief
Time Then Democratic Meet to
Discuss LEGISLATION.

When the House Of Delegates met
+ this noon, the fight for publicity in
, the appointment and the reduction i'm
the number Of employees of the LeCis-
lature, which waged SO warmly in the
Senate yesterday afternoon. was
transferred 10 the lower house.
At late hour this afternoon the
members Of the House were still fight
ing over an effort made by MIR. Os-
bourn, Of Hartford county, T. have re
ported back TO the House his order in
/ tro iuced yesterday and referred to the
Committee on Organization hereafter
to be appointed. This was an order
similar to that carried through the
Senate Yesterday by the Lee Harper
forces.

in referring all orders with this end
in view to committees and the de
termination of the Lee forces in the
House, led by Mr.. Osbourn and Mr..
Cummings, of Montgomery county. 20
get immediate consideration, finally
led to a direct appeal from the ruling
of the chair, and this question was
under debate at the time of going to
press.
In the Senate there was but a brief
meeting, during which no business
was transacted but following which
the Democratic Senators went into
conference on matters of legislation.
the chief of which is the question Of
what is to be done with the Wilson
Ballot Law.
There is a determined effort on foot
to repeal this law absolutely and 20
substitute for the whole State the re
cent Baltimore city election law, and
it is on this that the conference Of the
Senators is being held.
Another session of the Senate will
be held this afternoon at $50
O'Clock, following which it is likely
there will be an adjournment until

STILL AFTER LYNCHERS.
Grand Jury For Anne Arundel to Re-
turn to That Probe After Finish
ing Election Investigation.

Continued probing into the Third
district election matter was the order
of the day before the Anne Arundel
grand jury when its sessions were re-
sumed this morning.
Several of the witnesses summoned
in the matter yesterday and who did
not get before the jury were on hand
this morning and were cross-examined
during the morning as to what thew
know of the entering of the polling
house and apparent opening of the
ballot box Immediately after the polls
closed on the night of the last cleo
tion.
When the jury finishes with these
witnesses, it is understood, the in
quest will again direct its attention
to the lynching of King johnson, the
colored man who was avict i'm of mob-
law on the night of December %.
1t is understood that there is no
more tangible clew now in possession
of the States Attorney than was at
first located when the lynchinp tool
place and the colored witness. Chase
was brought to the Annapolis iail nro,
testing that he was asleep and heard
and saw no one of th)se who entered
the Brooklyn lookup and took John.
son out.
However, there seems every reason
to assume that before il closes its in.
vestigation of the case, the jury will
have before it Chief of Police Thomas
Irwin, and the other members of the
Brooklyn police force. in addition r.
about FIVE or six other persons Iivino
at Brooklyn and Curtis Bay.

turn would supply seed for the nor
NAL fax acreage Of the state.
New uncropped virgin sod lands
will not last long now that the
traction outfits have come to stay.
Therefore, the farmer who will be
prepared to retain fax as a part of
his regular pay crop on his old
worked soils cannot fail to reap
great benefit. sE
To the farmer who will decide to
take up the breeding of Wilt and
Rust Resistant fax, there will come
great benefit, in the fact that he
can raise a normal crop of fax on
old faxed lands that are reason-
ably free from weeds. He can
sell this seed to his neighbors and
the seed houses at a good margin
above the market price, and at the
same time be a benefit to the state.

Agricultural College, desires to
hear from farmers who will under

The Botanical Department of the
North Dakota Agricultural College,
after some years of seed selection
methods and definite cropping ex-
periments, has produced strains of
fax that have the power to grow
on old fax cropped Wilt-sick lands
and produce approximately normal
yields of flax. s
In order that North Dakota may
have direct benefit of the methods
and information which has cost the
state SO much money to obtain, it
is suggested that these methods be
carried direct to the farmer, and in
such manner. that the benefits will
come in the shortest possible time,
and in such a manner that the ben
.efits will be of permanent value to
the state as "a whole.
ssaa IN order to accomplish this, it is
proposed that q Flax Growers As

MITTED MANY, ROBBERIES
~' IN GOOSE NECK TOWN,

- Minot, N. D., Dec. 9.-Elina1
Nahum, who has been brought to
the Ward county Jail in this city,
is believed to have pulled off a dar-
ing series of robberies in Kenmare
during the past week.
His principal touch is believed to
have been made at the Commercial
hotel in Kenmare, where he is said
to have gathered in SIS, belonging
to two dodgers at that hostelry.
This was obtained by pretending
to have been locked out of his own
hotel and thus persuading his vic
Tins to allow him entrance to- their
room. When they awoke the next
morning they found that both guest
and money were gone.
He is also believed to have 2stol-
en- a suit of clothes, and a gold
watch from Joseph Golamp's room
in the house of Nels McArthur.
1t is also thought that Nahum
burglarized the rooms over the Busy
Bee restaurant last week, where g
quantity of clothing was stolen.
Chief fPolice Hall was notified
of the robberies and finally succeed
ed in running down Nahum. Thu
latter was engaged in spending
I part of the results, of the various
enterprises it is said, and had onl!

Had the farms of North Dakota
been farmed as we'll as the demon
stration farms the increased yield
of wheat and oats would have been
worth $33,308,62O for 1911. This
is the striking result given in the
report Of the demonstration farms
just published. The report con-
tains complete description of the
work done on each of the "a dem
onstration farms, making it a reg
ular dictionary on the rotation OF
crops, giving details OF how each
crop was handled on each field.
The work was done by farmers,
but under the supervision of w. R.
Porter, superintendent, and E. w.
Hall, Asst. superintendent. This
demonstrates the use that farmers
can make of information when it is
brought to them.
