Frank Van Dusen at the Auditorium.

From Chicago Music News"
On last Sunday afternoon there was
an audience of five thousand people at
the Auditorium to hear an organ re-
cital by Mr.. Frank Van Dusen. this
being in the form of Prelude to the
lecture given by Judge Clifford 2.
Smith.
Mr.. Van Dusen displayed excellent
taste in the selection and arrangement
of his program, the numbers being
chosen from standard works by Bossi,
Wely. Flaxington Harker. Lemmens
and Rogers, and this program was
given with great distinction.
TIE Auditorium organ is not in the
best of trim but it is nevertheless a
magnificent speciment. and Mr.. Van
Duseu had made a most careful
study of all the possibilities and IN
his registration he showed the hand
of master.
His organ technic is up to the
highest standard and his interpreta-
tion of the exacting program was full
of authority and was as we'll musical

Thus expressed former Secretary of

concerning the Mexican war situa-

cit would, in all probability,
mean long and expensive war, in

lives and treasure than are now in
Mexico. 1t would be quite different
from our former contest with that
country" he continued. at that
time there were practically no Amer

investments there. It was a war
hetween two governments.
This war would mean, not merely
overcoming the government in arms,
but restoring such stability to the
country as would, for the future.

RICHARDS GUILTY;
GIVEN THREE YEARS
Jury Disagreed in Trial of Fred
Grimes.
Richards Was Taken to Green Bay Mon
day; Grimes Remanded to Jail
Awaiting New Trial.

Two criminal trials of a very
similar character took place in the
circuit court here on Wednesday OF
last week. one being the case of the
State VS. Fred Grimes, colored, charg-
ed with theft from the person, the act
being alleged to have occurred in one
of the Lancaster saloons last fall. The
other was that of the State VS. Richar5
Richards Jr., also charged with theft
from the person, this having taken
place in saloon at British Hollow.
Both of these men pleaded not
guilty and appeared for trial,
District Attorney Fl. E. Carthew
representing the State and Meyer &
Burgess being appointed by the court
to conduct the defense. In the Grimes
case the jury remained out eleven
hours and then reported to the court
that they were unable to agree upon q
verdict. They were accordingly dis
charged aud Grimes was remanded
back to the county Jail to await new
trial at the next October term.
1t took about seven hours for the
jury to reach a decision In the
Richards case, and when they reported
they declared that they had found the
young man guilty as charged. Judge
Clementson sentenced him to I'M
prisonment for three years in the state
reformatory at Green Bay, to which
place he was taken by Sheriff Dyer on
Monday.
On Monday of this week Judgment
of divorce was granted in the cases of
Lydia Son herger VS. Ernest Son berger
and Bertha j. Stephens VS. Charles T..
Stephens.
Olaf Holland was admitted to U. S.
citizenship.
In the matter of Vim. Dressens of
the town of Louisburg, to whom full
citizenship papers were issued last
week, it was later discovered that in
his petition for citizenship it was
stated that he had formerly owed al
legiance to Emperor William Ii,
whereas he actually was a subject OF
and owed allegiance 10 the King of
Belgium. 1t was therefore ordered
by the court on Monday that the
certificate of citizenship which had
been issued to him be surrendered to
tbs clerk of the circuit court for
cancellation.

Ine66 particulars were aSc6rGa1n6O
as the outgrowth of a conversation
which took place between W. j.
Brennan, chairman of the county
board of supervisors, and a number of
representatives of banks and bond
houses who were in his office in this
city couple of weeks ago to bid upon
the purchase of 500 900 of the county's
bonds, which we've a bout to be sold for
the building of the c)unty's new
asylum. These bonds. it will be re-
membered, we're bought by the Union
State Bank of Lancaster at par and an
additional premium of $3.50 dollars
this bank being the highest bidder
therefor.
Why is it, Chairman Brennan
was asked. That you make these
bonds payable at the Office of the
county treasurer in Lancaster, in
stead of in Chicago or New York,
the great money centers, as usual in
such cases p
There are several good reasons, !"
said Mr.. Brennan. ''One of them is
that we have mad some experience in
the past through making our bonds
payable IN the money centers, where
the banks charged Us one fourth of
one per cent for collection. A similar
charge upon this 100000 bond issue
and the interest thereon, $4,000 worth
of them being payable each year for
90 years, would cost Grant county

payers that amount by having the
