GREAT PIANO TEACHER SAYS GOOD PLAYING IS LIKE GOOD
 STORY TELLING.

In a very interesting article on pi- anO playing in the April Woman's Home Companion. the author reports as follows the views of Leschetizky; the greatest teacher of piano in the world:
 When I was studying with the great master he pointed out to me the importance of musical expression in the following way: He called my attention to the fact that one person, for instance may tell you tale in such a way that you find little in it that is interesting, whereas another person may tell you the same story in such q manner that you follow every word With the keenest attention. The secret of interest lies in the voice the tone. the eXpression-in the man her of telling. All this is interpreta- tiOn. A careless or dull piano student may play even some exquisite melody An such a way that it does not at tract you at all, whereas an artists playing of it my bring the tears to your eyes"

The White Line Electric Railroad commenced building operations We'd resday morning and the same night came into conflict with the city coun- cil which is considered a fairly good record by all concerned
 The initial clash occurred over tho removal of monuments from the street intersections over which the new line win pass. City engineer Tuney de- clared that these monuments must e..uc up and be moved to one side. W K Palmer. engineer for the com pauy argued that the monuments cuuId be icft where they are between the tracks. but council would not agree to this
 Turney said it would cost SIP per monument to move 'em. C, C. Lewis. secretary of the company. w. K. Pal ner engineer. and H. NJ. Lewis, grad fr4 contractor all agreed that this price Is eXorbitaHt It was finally left with the officials of the company and the city engineer to settle be tween themselves. but council did de- ,ide that the monuments must be moved

LITTLE PHIL

The following tribute to General Sheridan was written for and real tt the Twenty fourth annual en- zona, held in this city April 17th MT. Downing, the author, served un- der Little Phil, as he was affec- -ionately called, when that great cav airy leader, then a colonel, com manded a brigade in the army of the Tennessee in 1862.
 Tn the distant, dim perspective
 Of the fifty years gone by, Memory lights glowing beacon Like a planet in the sky. Swift, wild raids, and deeds heroic, Pass before us in review, For we had a peerless leader
 In the days of SiXty-two. Constantly he kept us moving
 Full Of fire and battle thrill; We were keyed to high adventures When we rode with Little Phi. oft the call of Boots and saddles" Echoed in the sleeping camps Ere the rosy morn unfolding
 Blotted out the starry lamps. In the brakes of Mississippi,
 In the woods of Tennessee, Jingling spurs and rattling sabers Flung their challenge far and free As we galloped down the valley,
 As We scampered OCT the hill. There was always something doing When we rode with Little Phil Sturdy -limbed, and short in stature, All his loyal comrades knew Him as every inch a soldier,
 Valiant hearted, strong and true. When the battle-storm was highest, He was there among the boys, And 'tis doubtful if Napoleon
 Held himself in better poise. No man saw the issue clearer,-
 You may call it luck, or skill; But it looked like intuition
 When We rode with Little Phil. I remember how he led us
 In a skirmish brief and hot, Down near Corinth through high
 way
 Where a battery poured it's shot It was heavily supported
 By the Gray Coats sheltered near "We will take it." said the Colonel And we took it with a cheer. Not a single trooper wavered,
 Though we charged an ugly hill; But such things were quite the
 custom
 When we rode with Little Phil. Qualities that mark the leader
 In the early days revealed More and more became apparent
 When he gained wider field PerryVille and Chattanooga Still aloud his praises speak; In the Shenandoah valley,

that the $5000 certified check depos- ited with council as evidence of good faith he returned to the company. As q further evidence of the good faith aforesaid letters were filed with the recorder certifying that ties had been ordered to <thc value of $S9G0 and that the engineering firm employed for the work had already been paid more than $5000 for it's services.
 Under the terms of the agreement on file this 5000 is to be retained by the city for one year or until the company has one mile of line in op- eration within the. city limits. MT Lewis asserted that this agreement is superseded by a verbal arrangement which provides for the return of the simoleans as soon as evidence is forthcoming that an equal amount has been spent towards the actual construction of the new line

 Harry Welch representing the board of trade asked for more light on the subject. The board wants ornamental posts on Second avenue from Wash ington to Adams street. Referred to committee.
 Attorney E. F. Marks appeared for the owner of the building occupied by Elvey and Hulett at Washington street and Cactus Way and craved permission to build an outside stair way from the alley to the basement of the store before the work of paw ing the alley is started Referred to committee of the whole. These alleys are narrow and there is q tendency to eliminate the areaways and stair ways which already exist rather than permit others to be installed
 Paving petitions for South Central avenue and south First avenue were read and approved.
 Council renigged on it's recent dodger throwing ordinance to which the trades council objected on the grounds thta the printers would be injured by a removal of this class of business. The city attorney was in- Structed to draft q rew ordinance repeating the objectionable features
 A touch of drama was added to the evenings entertainment by a man named Chapin who demonstrated a patent collapsable voting booth. MT. Chapin took the booth down and put it up again literally by the sweat of his brow" Council liked the booth and agreed that when in need of goods of this character it would re- member Chaain

Wickham and Towne

Tuesday evening at the Coteau opera
house a very large and appreciative
audience of Day county people was
addressed by Pat Wickham, one Of the
candidates for governor on the demo-
cratic ticket, and Charles A. Towne, the
silver tongued orator from Duluth.
Hon. H...H. Pottre, Webster's demo-
cratic candidate for the nomination as
lieutenant governor, in his usual eff
cient manner introduced the speakers.
Mr.. Wickham confined his remarks to
an appeal to the voters for support in
behalf of his candidacy and cited his
long residence and record in South
Dakota. He made a very good impress
sion upon his audience and from remarks
dropped by those present we believe
made converts to his cause.
Mr.. Towne was in splendid form and
gave his audience a ringing speech from
a democratic standpoint. Be fiayec
Roosevelt severely, denounced the tariff
and tried to impress upon his audience
that this was to be a democratic year
and that the voters had better get or
the wagon and support Champ Clark
for the presidency and the ticket headed
by Pat Wickham for the state Offices.

Last Monday night Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Blanks, who reside on what is
known as the Huntington place, which
they purchased last year, went to bed
at the usual hour and everything
seemed all right for the night. About
2 o'clock in the morning they were
awakened by the smell of smoke and
arising Immediately found their bouse
full of flames and they had barely time
to wrap something around their baby
and make their escape. There was
nothing they could do to ave anything
and the house and contents burned to
the ground. A total loss. We are
informed there was insurance on the
home but none on the contents. How
and where the fire started will never
be known. The family will make their
home for the present with his parents
Mr.. and Mrs. August Blank. We are
informed that a new home will be
erected just as soon as arrangements
can be made. While the loss of the
home falls very heavily upon the young

Team Killed

Last Friday at camp No. 4, of the
railroad graders which is located three
miles east of Webster, the men and
teams were filling in the track on the
main line along in the afternoon and
one of the teams belonging to w. R.
Shipman with a big dump wagon was
on the track when the fast train from
the east came along. The wind was
blowing a gale from the west and the
gang was at work on the end of a
curve and did not hear or see the train
until it was within about 300 feet of
them. The train was over an hour
late and was running at a high rate Of
speed. An effort was r.ade to get the
team and wagon from the track and it
was cleared with the exception of one
wheel when the engine hit it throwing
the horses and wagon quite a distance.
One horse was killed outright, the
back of the other was broken and it
had to be shot, the wagon was broken
into kindlingwood and the harness
rendered useless. Fortunately no one
was injured. Mr.. Shipman estimates
his loss as team $50; dump wagon,
500, and the harness $65. While the
loss is quite an amount it is indeed very
fortunate that with so many persons
in the working glng right there that
some one was not injured.

GLASS ON HIGHWAYS

Either ThoughtIessness or Nal,

to get Some one Into
Trouble. People are
Becoming Aroused

We have heard complaints,
not only among the automobile owners
but among farmers, that there is a
large amount of broken glass being
found along the highways, especially
on the road from Webster to Pickerel
lake and on the road from Waubay to
Webster and there have been numerous
instances of horses and automobiles
being injured by broken glass. We
have heard of a number of instances
where th& evidence shows that some
person either maliciously or unthink-
ingly has deliberately taken bottles
and broken them over stones or wagon
tires, if a horse should accidentally
step on n of these ragged edges of
those bottles it might injure the animal
for life or in case of an automobile tire
absolutely ruin the tire. The last
legislature of this state passed a law
making it unlawful for any person to
place any broken glass, glass bottles,
glassware or glass of any kind in any
Of the highways, public grounds, streets
or alleys and the persons 81 doing are
subject to a fine of not less than five
dollars or more than twenty-five dol

%sioners to offer a reward for the arrest
and conviction of any person SO doing.
Now, the highway does not only NEAR
the part of the road that is Travelled
but the full width of the laidout roao
and it is just as easy for a person
after emptying a bottle to take the

and thereby not be committing a CHM

person before very long will b,

An attempt was made to wreck the

engine leaving the rails and running a
distance of Z, 100 feet on the ties cut
ting off the bolts on the angle irons and
badly ~battering the tires Of the drive
wheels of the engine, no great damage
was dons.
An angle iron had been placed on the
rails in such a manner as as to be hardly
noticeable from the cab, and when the
engine, which was going better than
forty miles per hour, struck it, the
drive wheels were thrown from the rails
and ran for more than half a mile on.
the ties before the engine could finally
be stopped. The pony trucks stayed on
the rails and none of the coaches or cars
left the track.
Passengers were somewhat shaken up
but no one was injured in the least. An
engine on an east-bound freight train
at Groton was sent to the assistance of
the derailed engine, and after nearly
two hours work the engine was again
set upon the track and the train pro-
ceeded on its way to this city, reaching
here at $50. - Aberdeen News; Friday.
