THINKS KINGS
SLAYER INSANE
LOCAL GREEK SAYS KING WAS
VERY POPULAR-SLAYE IS
FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY

One of the local Greeks, when ask
ed what effect he thought the asslna-
ton of King George, Of Greece, would
have on that country, stated that he
did not look for any change in Greece,
nor any change in the policy OF the
government because of the assassina-
ton of King George. In speaking of
the assassination further he said
"The man who killed King George
must have been insane because peo-
p]e of Greece are united on their 10y
atty to the country. His last name
is Greek but his first name does not
sound like a true Greek name, so ne
NAV be from one of the countries
which have been conquered by Greece
The new King is even more popular
with the Greeks than King George
was, and think that man who has
reigned for fifty years before hav-
ing an attempt made upon his life.
must have been loved by his people.
During the war the members OF the
royal family won high regard from
the people by taking care OF the
wounded and several of the kings
nurses were in the war"
King George was assassinated while
walking with his aide on the streets
of Saloniki, on the afternoon OF March
18. His assailant appeared to be
man of low mental type, giving his
name as Alcek Schinas. He shot the
king through the heart.

FIRST CONCERT
MUSICAL TREAT
CHORAL UNION GAVE FIRST CON
CERT AT LIBRARY HALL ON
TUESDAY EVENING

The people who were conspicuous by
their absence from the Initial Con-
cert Of the Williston Choral Union on
Tuesday evening at the Library Au-
ditorium missed musical treat and
rather belied Williston's reputation
for boosting good thing. The con-
cert was from a musical standpoint
a decided success, and it is certainly
something to be proud Of when city
Of this size, far removed from musical
centers, is able to produce such pro-
gram. The credit, of course, lies
largely with the leader, Prof. Onstad,
for without leader who makes such
work worth while Choral Union is
an impossibility.
The four choruses were from the
masters of music, and were given with
a smoothness and precision which
only comes from long practice to-
gether. Perhaps the "Lost Chord
was the number best given and most
appreciated, with its exquisite modula-
tions and full harmony, though the
soloists in the other three choruses
added much to their beauty and the
enjoyment of the audience.
Miss Toftley's reading was peculiar
ly we'll fitted to the Easter season and
to musical program, and the deep
interest with which the audience fol-
lowed the fortunes of "King Robert
of Sicily" was high tribute to the
readers skill. Her encore was also
from Longfellow, and much appre-
ciated.
Judging from the applause the gem
of the evenings program was the
piano duet given by Miss Wheeler and
Miss Hougan. When a number as
long and as difficult as Liszt's Second
Hungarian Rhapsodie, so delights an
audience that they insist on having
it over again, it must have been bril-
liantly given, and the repetition was
followed with even greater attention
than the first performance. 1t was
an unusually lne pieve of concert
work, and deserved every bit of the
appreciation it received.
Sometime in June the second Choral
Concert will be given, and it is to be
hoped that all who are new regretting
that they missed this one will i'm
prove the next opportunity.

terested in things pertaining to Williston,

HEAVY GRADING ENGINES
INTO Mex ENZIE COUNTY

Erickson and Long, contractors for
the Great Northern, operating in Nc
Kenzie county, have been busy NOV
ing two grading locomotives over

a distance of about 65 miles from here.
The contractors are making every ef-
fort to have their machinery and sup
