COLLEGE RECITAL
At SANFORD HALL
MUSIC DEPARTMENT OF JAMES.
TOWN COLLEGE, GAVE BRIL-
LIANT MUSICAL.

The third evening of commence
ment week at jamestown College
was devoted to the recital given at
Sanford hall by the students of the
College musical department. The
audience was large and thoroughly
appreciated the brilliantly executed
umbers, both vocal and instrument
tai. The various rendit!cns of the
many difficult numbers upon the
program reflected much credit upon
the work of the students and the
training by the music faculty, the Sc
lections being given throughout with
a fine artistic finish. Although it
was the first public appearance of
many of the players, all acquitted
themselves excellent!y.
Several extremely difficult num-
bers from a technical standpoint
were handled with ease by the ad-
vanced students, who showed talent
in tone production, shading and in
terpreting the sentiment of the COM
positions, together with broad
knowledge and attainment in gen.
eral technique.
The program opened with a duo
for two pianos, a difficult compost
ton, abounding in the clashing dis
cords of conflicting German festival
marches, rendered by Miss Lucille
Lowe and Prof. Wimberley. Other
numbers that attracted especial at
tention were the American Songs by
Miss Anna Wanner and the German
Songs by Miss Inez Atwood, together
with the piano selections by Miss
Gertrude Kribbs. The program also
included piano selections by Miss
Evelyn Dennis and Miss Ella
Sorenson, and vocal trio by
Misses Ellis, Wanner and Atwood.
The department during the past year
has been in charge of Profs. VIM
berley and Cartwright.

against a serious water problem,

ACCIDENT TO
JAMES JOHANNES
May PROVE FATAL
SHOTGUN DISCHARGED, LOAD
PENETRATING WAGON SEAT
AND VICTIMS BODY.

Another serious accident, report
ed briefly Tuesday afternoon, occur
red to James Johannes, who resides
few miles south of the city and one
of the old time farmers of the coun-
ty. Mr.. Johannes was riding in
two seated spring wagon at the time
of the accident. He and his wife
were on the front seat and a farm
hand on the back seat. The acci-
dent occurred late Tuesday after
noon, just at the top of the Mill hill.
Mr.. Johannes had started for the
farm after making purchases of gro
ceries and other articles in James
town, where the wagon was loaded.
The gun was lying on a box or
other packages between the two
seats, the muzzle' of the weapon be-
ing inclined upwards and close to
the back of the front seat. In shift
ing the boxes or in some manner the
gun was discharged. The entire
charge passed through the back of
the wooden seat, the cushion, and
entered the body of Mr.. Johannes
at the left hip. At this moment
Fred Perry, who was driving toward
the city, assisted Mr. johannes in get
ting out from the wagon and brought
him to the jamestown hospital.
where his injury was examined by
Drs. Movius and Wood. The injury
proved serious one, large wound
being made by the shot, and in the
wound were found splinters from
the wagon seat, and shreds of cloth.
The wound bled profusely at first,
but the hemorrhage was soon stop
ped by the physicians.
The wound proved to be about an
inch and half in diameter, and the
shot penetrated the hip bone, and
as near as could be learned just
missed entering the abdominal cav
ity., Notwithstanding the serious
nature of his wound the patient was
doing as we'll as could be expected
today.
Mr.. Johannes had engaged man
for farm work and was taking him
home. The shot gun belonged to
the farm hand, not to Mr.. Johannes,
who did not notice the position of
the gun in the wagon, or know that
it was loaded.

CHILD ATTEMPTS TO POISON
HER FOSTER MOTHER

A case of youthful depravity or
inherited criminal tendencies had a
review in the district court this
week. A little girl, II years of age,
who had been legally adopted by
Engineer and Mrs. Peter Sorenson,
in 1911, attempted to poison her
foster mother by giving her glass
of water containing three quarters
of an ounce of muriatic acid. Mrs.
Sorenson had not been feeling we'll
and the child offered her mice,
cool drink of water" Upon tasting
it Mrs. Sorenson at once detected
that something was wrong and did
not swallow but little of the liquid.
The child afterwards confessed to
having planned for some time to kill
her foster parents, with the idea of
getting possession of the property.
She said that she had first intended
to shoot Mrs. Sorenson; afterwards
thought that she could dispose of
her with knife, by stabbing. and
then again had planned other means.
The girl had been taken by Juve-
nile Oficer Blake, from her father,
Jos. Helmer, who the officer says had
whipped the child after his wife had
died, and who had also mistreated
and abused his wife. Helmer re-
sides In Canada. He left the girl
at the city pest house after his Sec
ond marriage. There were five chill
dren in the family, three girls and
two boys, all of whom have been
placed out among different families
The court decided that the best
place for a child of that disposition
was at the institution for feeble
minded at Grafton, and she will be
committed to that institution for
care. In every respect she is a
bright and apparently normal child,
with the exception Of this one mur.
derous tendency.

FAST WORK on
MIDLAND EXTENSION
Heavy Grading Work Across the
James River Valley.

The contractors for the grading
of the Wimbledon extension of the
Midland Continental railroad have
about fifty per cent of the grading
completed. There was exceptional
ly favorable weather in May for
this work, the heaviest part of which
has been finished. Work on the
bridges for the line will begin at
once.
The grade for the new extension
begins at point 31k miles south of
Jamestown, at what is called James,
town Junction. The grade follows
the river bluffs towards the east and
cuts across the face of the bluff. por-
tions Of the grade being about half
way up the bluff. There are nu-
merous small coulies or draws"
along the side of the bluff, and this
part of the grading work is heavy.
The earth being taken from the cuts
is used to fill in the draws" The
grade when completed will, howev-
er, be an easy one not exceeding four
per cent.
A seven per cent grade is regard
ed among railroad men as the max
imum. Several other routes across
the James River valley to the Seven
Mile Coulee, along which the extern
sion runs, were considered by the
engineers, and other feasible routes
might have been secured, although
the grade would have been much
heavier than the one finally adopted.
Grading camps are now located at
three or four different points in the
valley, working on the grade that
crosses the Fuller farm.
If the construction Of the road
progresses as rapidly from now on
as the grading, the company expects
to be in readiness to handle the
heavy grain and freight trafiic on
the new extension this fall. Most
Of the. material for ties, bridges and
other equipment is already stored in
the company's yards at Jamestown.

1t is well fer the farmer to realize
at outset that the conditions are very
different from what they were thirty
or forty years ago, and that without
good spraying outfit good fruit can
not reasonably be expected. 1t is well
to emphasize the word good in this
sentence, writes E. E. Miller in the
Country Gentleman, for it is a very
common mistake to try to economic
in the purchase of a spraying outfit.
and so to get one which will make
good work impossible, or at least make
the cost of doing it twice as much as
it should be. The manufacturers of
spraying outfits who lead men to be-
lieve that an apple tree can be
sprayed with bucket pump are do
ing an injustice to their own ma
chimes, as well as to the men to whom
they sell.
All this said, not to discourage the
growing of the farm orchard, but
merely to point out some things nee
essary to make it success; and to
show by contrast how easy it is for
the farmer to have liberal supply of
the small fruits.
1t is poor economy for farmers to
try to get on without home orchard,
but It is much worse for them to try
to get on without berries and other
bush fruits and grapes. All berries
are easily grown. The strawberry can
be planted one year and be in full
bearing the next. Most of the others
need only two years in which to bear
abundantly. Except in certain locali-
ties none OF them are seriously at
tackled by other insect foe or disease.
The currant worm, gooseberry blight,
blackberry anthracnose and straw
berry weevil will do considerable
damage in the aggregate, but all Of
them are more or less localized,
and most of them are easily con-
trolled. A man with Sc knapsack
sprayer need spend only few hours
in season to protect enough bushes
and vines to produce all the small
fruits the average farm family will
need.

CRUSADE AGAINST
POISON IVY PEST
While Not Fatal in Its Effects 1t
Causes Much Unnecessary
Suffering.

Wage war upon the poison ivy and
keep at least the home place free from
it. Only the most drastic measures
have any effect upon it.
Teach the children to avoid any sort
of climber that has three-lobed leaf
While poison ivy is not fatal in its
effects and many people are immune
from its attacks, it causes much un-
necessary suffering and it often af-
fects and impairs the health.
Start a crusade against the pest
among your neighbors and work
against the common enemy. Try to
pass laws to authorize road supervi-
sors and commissioners to see that
their districts are kept clear of 1t.
Dig or pillow it up to the smallest
root and branch, for 1t is SO tenacious
to life that twig allowed to lie upon
the ground has been known to take
root.
If every root cannot be dug touch
the broken end with crude oil or some
strong acid. A load of fresh manure
dumped upon clump of poison ivy
in August will finish 1t.
