Students VIII Give Concert.
A number of the former students
of the Mankato high school are show
ing their loyalty to the school by
giving a benefit concert for a piano
fund for the school. The concert
will be given in the old high school
assembly room on the evening of Oc-
tober IS. Among those who will
take part are Miss Nellie Nitzkowski,
pianist; Miss Mamie Skuse, pianist;
Mrs. Minnie Hubbard, violinist; Miss
Allie Scherer and Waldemar and
George Scherer, instrumental trio;
Richard Wood, tenor; Miss Mildred
Oleson, soprano, and Miss Lora
Lulsdorff, soprano. Miss Lulsdorff
will give about half of the program,
and this will without doubt be the
last opportunity Mankato people will
have to hear this talented singer be-
fore her return to Germany. The
spirit of the musicians who give this
concert is we'll worthy of commenda-
ton, and the cause for which it will
be given is a very deserving one.
Interest in Song.
Interest in the series of concerts
which is to be given here during
the coming months is increasing each
day and as people realize how great
an opportunity it is to hear really
good music in their own town, they
are arranging to attend the complete
series. The artists who are to appear
are all of national fame and some
of them are even better known in
Europe than here. They are people
who are classed among the leading
musical people in this country. Miss
Rice has received the assurance OF
the high school and normal school
people that they will do as much as
possible to make the course a sue
cess and their interest will be of
great benefit to her.
Reception For Young People.
At the Presbyterian church last
night the Young Peoples union gave
a very cordial reception to the stu
dents of Mankato. After the usual
duties of the reception committee were
over an interesting program was en-
joyed. The first number was a piano
solo by Miss Mary Deputy and then
G. M. Palmer gave very interesting
welcome address. After this a vocal
solo by Miss Barbara Mansfield and
Scotch songs by Mrs. M. r. Coulter.
Miss Kahtine gave a very interest
ing reading and the program ended
with vocal solo by Miss Neva Net
Teton.
Entertained "The City" Company.
H. B. McNab, formerly of Man
kato, now of Perry, Iowa, had Dan
iel Eager of THE City" company and
his wife as guests at his hotel, the
st. James, Tuesday, October l. Mr..
McNab not only royalty entertained
the former Mankatonian but gave
the entire company an elaborate
supper after the evening perform
ance. 1t proved one of the bright
spots that relieves the monotony
of one night stands and "The City"
company appreciated it deeply.
Mothers Invited to kindergarten.
The children of the normal school
have invited their
mothers to an autumn party to be
held in the kindergarten rooms on
Tuesday afternoon, October 8, at

delightful affair.
