Adams, a Minneapolis soprano, she
appeared in the Unitarian church,

superior technic and intellectual con-

made of Scbumann's "Widmung,"

Journal and The Tribune spoke very
highly Of Bcr work. @
Harlow Gale the musical critic of

follows:
1.-TWO valued additions to the ster.
ling band of Minneapolis musicians
were publicly welcomed last evening
at the Unitarian church by larger
number of their already acquired
friends and by many of their gen
erous colleagues
Coming from a musical family in
Mankato, Miss Else Jache proved by
her piano part of the recital that she
had also gained from her recent years
of study in Germany the most sub
stantial knowledge, and expression
of the best music. The largeness OF
a Beethoven Largo and the serious
grace of his idealized minutes were
especially brought out by Miss Jache's
honest rendition of the third OPP. 10
sonata. 1t was so long too since we
had heard one of the immortal SER

Councilman, j. G.. fGerlich at the
regular meeting of the council this
morning reported that the steam
roller was, in bad way and it was
scarcely, worth repairing for the COM
ing year. He prophesied that the
city would have to get new ma
chine for the coming year.
The members of the council were
of the opinion that ii. new roller
was bought by the city that it
would be of smaller proportions than
the present one. Mr.. Gerlich recon-
mended that the city haul sand dur
ing the winter months and have it
piled up on a vacant lot, so that it
could be used on North Fifth and
Fourth streets early in the spring.
Past experiences in this practice
caused the members of the council
to frown on the matter for when
this has been done in the past the
city had lost money by it.

ported twenty arrests and sixty-three
dodgers for the month of October.

RAILROADS join in
Fight ON BURLESON
Oppose Proposed Changes in
Parcel Post Service

Washington, D. c., July 24.-Railway
representatives today Joined in the
fight to prevent Postmaster General
Burleson from increasing the size OF
lparcel post packages transmissible
through the mails and reducing the
rates to become effective Aug. 10. A
delegation representing the railroads
generally throughout the country laid
their complaint before senators and
representatives and prepared to pro-
test formally against the changes to
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The movement in the senate itself
to forestall the department changes
by repeating the section of the parcel
post law under which the postmaster
general claims the right to regulate
rates and sizes, further crystalIized
when Senator Bryan, of Florida, intro
|duced joint resolution to repeal the
legislation in question.
Another development of the day was
the postponement until Friday of the
information demanded by the senate
postoffice committee of Postmaster
General Burleson as to his authority
to inaugurate the changes. Railway
representatives said that at present
the roads received so per cent. of the
pay collected by express companies for
the carriage of packages and claimed
they would lose from $15,OOO,0OO to
$20,000,000 a year through the re
duced rates and increased maximum
limit on the size of packages.
The joint resolution introduced BY
Senator Bryan was in the exact words
of the bill introduced by him April
10, the object being to facilitate the
passage of the repeating enactment
through the house, where resolution
is under lighter parliamentary hand-
caps than 2 bill.

High COMPLIMENT FOR
LOCAL PECAN ORCHARD
Americas Orchard Has Best
Crop of Ak

A high compliment was paid recent
ly by DR.. Wade Stackhouse, of Dillon,
S c., to the pecan orchard of Mr. II.
W. Smithwick, near Americas, when
he said that it had the best crop on il
that he had seen this season in his
visits to many orchards in Georgia
and Florida.
DR.. Stackhouse has been a visitor
to a number of orchards in Gaines
vile, Fla, and Townsville, in this
state, as well as to several others.
These orchards, he claims, have moth
ing like the crop that the SmithwicK
orchard has, and this crop here, Dr.
Stackhouse declares, is the best he has
seen.
Mr. Smithwick said yesterday in
speaking of the crop of pecans he has
this year that the drouth has not ma
terially affected them, except in the
case of a few trees on hard ground
where number of the nuts have fallen
| eff. Even this loss, he claims, viii
not be regretted, as the other nuts viii
be matured better for that reason. The
prospects for a good crop of pecans
according to Mr.. Smithwick, are excel
lent.

In a game that was interesting until

Thomasville took the opener yester-
Gay afternoon from Americas by a
score of 4 to 5. Lack of harmony and

Pratt was on the mound for the To-
C Is and pitched well, in spite of the
fact that the game was lost. The SEN
timent is growing among the fans that
Pratt does not get the proper support
when he is in the box, especially from
behind the bat 1t would seem that il
he had received proper support yester-
day afternoon he should have won the
game. A clean, manly player himself,
Pratt works hard to win every game
he pitches, but his handicap often is
too great.
Day, for the visitors, had nothing
but pretty good control. He should
have been pie any day for the locals,
for he was touched up for enough hits
to win anyway, with careful playing
on the part of the locals. Costly err
rors began the run-getting on eacn
side several times, making the game
rather notable for loose playing.
The locals had an excellent chance
not only to tie the game in the ninth,
but also to win it, but it likewise was
tossed away. With Manchester on
first, Stewart went in to bat in place
of Pratt. hit a hot grounder past the
pitcher and the ball went out to the
cenerfielder, who made an easy stop
of it. Notwithstanding this, Manches-
ter endeavored to go to third and was
put out. This was the straw that
broke the camels back. With Man
chester safe on second and the team
hitting we'll, the chances are that the
game would have been tied and won in
the ninth.
