Why Joseph F. sheehan is Americas
Greatest Tenor

TO those VINO nave never heard
Joseph F. Sheehan sing in the grand
opera classics, it probably sounds far
fetched to make the broad statement
that he is Americas greatest tenor
and they cannot be censured for TAX
ing that view and remaining skeptical,
but those who have had the unmis.
Itagable pleasure of hearing Mr.. Shee-
han whe nhe was leading tenor with
the Savage Grand Opera company
know that the aforesaid statement is
entirely correct.
Joseph Sheehan, who comes to the
Grand Theatre in Vinita, Saturday
evening, February 3, in the favorite
Opera. The Bohemian Girl heading
his own own company known as the
Sheehan English Opera company, is
a tenor of the first rank His ability
to sing both lyric and dramatic roles
giles him a wonderful scope in his rep
ertoire. When member of the Saw
his voice Is maryelously suited for
every requirement of the exacting role.
He has sung Verdi's works from
age company he sang Wagnerian parts
from "Tanhauser' to 'Parsifal." /" Those
who have heard his Lohengrin in Wag-
ner's opera OF the same name say that
III Trocatore" to the blood-curdling
'Othellop and he was the last tenor
to sing the gigantic music allotted to
the jealous Moor in English at the
fremont Theatre in Boston several
years ago.
AS an actor Mr.. Sheehan is equally
proficient His delineation of the char.
acter Of Don Jose in Bizet's Carmen"
is overwhelming. The anguish, pas
sion and final outburst of dispair are
suhtly and forcibly handled as only
true historian can handle then. Why
Mr.. Sheehan never studied tie foreign
languages is mystery to is many
admirers, as the eminent New York
critics class him with Zlezak Zena-
telle, Caruso and the other foremost
tenors of the day.

with Cuba went into effect December
n, 1908, the exports from the United
States to that island in that year hav-
ing been 23h million dollars, against
So million in 1911. and the imports
therefrom SIX million dollars, against
lO6 million in 1911
The increase in imports from Cuba
during the decade has occurred chiefly
in sugar and leaf tobacco though in
the case of sugar a shortage in the
crop of last year caused a material de-
cline in the imports when compared
with the Immediately preceding year.
In 1910 sugar from Cuba totaled 3,673
million pounds with value of over
100 million dollars; in 1911. about
1892 million pounds, valued at little
over rs million dollars; in 1908, just
prior to the reciprocity period, the
total was 1894 million pounds, valued
at S7l2 million dollars. Leaf tobacco
other than that used for cigar wrap
Ders shows a steady growth, from 10

FAST and SNAPPY
BASKET BALL
Denison Adds Another Scalp to Belt
Of Victories by Defeating the
Manila High School.
LARGEST CROWD OF SEASON
Will Play Rockwell City Next Friday
Afternoon at Bruederschaft-Ev-

The fast Denison high school bas-
ketball team added another scalp to
their belt last Friday evenin, when
they defeated the high school team
from Manila. 1t was all Denison
from the first whistle until time was
called. The visitors didn't get a
chance at field basket until the last
few minutes of play and then only
when the DenisOn team thought the
whistle blew and temporarily suspend
ed operations and when they and all
but one of the Manila team were
looking around at the referee, the one
who was not looking threw basket
which was the only field basket made
by Manila during the entire game
The whistle had not been blown so
so the score was allowed. This with
couple of fouls thrown by the Ma
nilla team constituted their only
score, making the final score 63 to
in favor of the home team.
1t was one of the fastest and snap
piest games the home boys have
played and they have improved con-
siderable in form and team work
since the crude Woodbine game 1t
was the cleanest game ever played
on the home floor, there being no un-
necessary roughness or wrangling or
i'll feeling on the part of either team.
The Manila boys are fine gentle
manly bunch.

tacular at times, particularly when

discussion Of the road problem. He
told of the work done in Poweshiek
county and recommended this plan to
be followed he also recommended the

much as possible. He spoke of the

Of good drainage. For nearly an hour
Senator Young talked of Iowa and it's
resources and the reasons we have
for being proud of our state. He drew
California and told how wonderful
people thought it when California
shipped $4,000 worth of oranges in
single train, forgetting that Iowa
shipped million dollars worth OF
hogs every day in the year. This lat
ter part of his talk was more of a
personal, heart to heart talk, it was
filled with bright sayings, witty anec-
dotes and most CHEEKY and cheering
crowd, it laughed with him and en-.
thused with him and became serious
with him in turn. TO many the speech
was a revelation of the real man. He
has been pictured with horns and
hoofs so many times by the opposi-
ton press OF Des Moines that it was
a pleasant surprise to those who had
not known the brainy ex-senator to
find him SO eloquent, SO sane, so very
much of a man and a good fellow.
The members of the board of super
visOrs were delighted with the ad-
dress. Mr.. J. T. Carey declared it to
be one of the best road talks he had
ever heard, and that the fact that it
was also entertaining but added to the
and made the duty of the
township officers pleasant one.
Colonel Young would not accept any
from the county, either
for his address or for his expenses,
that he was a candidate be-
fore the people and that he was glad
of an opportunity to meet the voters
even though he did not talk politics.
After the meeting Mr.. Young was
the center of a numerous crowd of
friends and admirers and he made the
of large number Of the
leading men of the county. While he
talked no politics. there is no qnes,
ton but that his talk added much to
his popularity in this county and

Death of ChaS. p. Ewing.

Will Ewing arrived here Christmas
night from Hand Hill, Alberta, bring
ing the remains of his son, Charles p.
Ewing, who died in Alberta on the 18th
instant, for interment in the Gilbert
cemetery.
Mr.. Ewing's death was, indirectly,
due to an accident that he met with on
November 29th. The unfortunate man
was rounding up cattle and his horse
fell with him, breaking his leg in two
places and otherwise injuring him. The
accident happened some distance fr ON
home, and it was two days before the
injured man could be got to where he
could have medical attention. He was
apparently getting along well until a
very short time before his death, which
was very sudden and was attributed to
heart failure.
Deceased was 81 years old, and was
a pioneer settler in the Russell neigh
borhood, going from there to Alberta
about six years ago. Dececsed leaves
a widow but no children. Interment
will be at Gilbert tomorrow.
