Both in solo and ensembleWOrk
this company will be exceedingly
attractive to all lovers Of good
vocal music. Many of our en-
ployes know Miss Legler and they
will be very much delighted to
know that she is making good in
her continued studies, and they
will read with pleasure the fol
lowing words from the musical
critic of the Chicago Tribune:
THE rich soprano voice of Miss
Meta K. Legler as heard at the
Music Hall last night, will not
SOON be forgotten by Chicago
people. Her exquisite rendition
of the Italian Aria has never been
equaled. Mr.. Blackman is clas-
sed with the leading baritones of
Chicago and the west. The low,
sweet voice Of Mrs. Burgson i'm
mediately calls for an encore. I
have had many requests to send
an artistic dancer and have had
several listed but | have always
had to yield to other pressing en-
gagements. Miss Russell is the
Director Of the Department of
Dancing in one of the largest con-
servatories of Chicago. Her
work has been called "A dream
of movement set to music. " So
here they are, out of the usual
and above the average.

Champion Proposes Measure

iZation
WOULD GIVE MORE POWER
City Local Option Measure
Gets through the
Senate

State Senator E. C. Champion
Tuesday afternoon introduced in
the senate q bill, having for it's
object the comforting of addition
|. al power upon the state board of
equalization and upon the boards
.oI county commissioners in the
collection of data on the value of
property listed for taxation. The
bill gives the state board of equa-
ization the right to fix the value
Of properties of railroads, express
companies, sleeping cars, tele-
phone, telegraph lines and of
livestock in the state for the pur-
poses Of taxation.
At its January session, the
state board issued an order call
ing upon the corporations coming
under its jurisdiction, to report
their property at full value for
the purpose of assessment. I'm
der the bill by Mr.. Champion,
tie t3le 5oafa Is empowered TO issue
.subpoenaes and administer oaths
to witnesses and to take all legal
steps to ascertain the real value
OF properties before it.
In the event of failure to meet
its requirements on the part OF
any concern operating in the
state, the board may ascertain
the value of the property for
itself.
The city local option bill came
up On the third reading. Several
small amendments to it were Of
fered and discussion became gen
eraI over the proposal Of chang
ing the time of elections from
four ID Two years. Briefly, this
clause provided that cities might
not vote on prohibition oftener
than every four years. The pro-
posed amendment was offered by
Senator Romero, and afterspeech-
es favoring it had been made,by
Senators Mabry, Page and Barth
and against by Senators Holt,
IIfeId and Hinkle, Senator Ro-
nero attempted to get it recon-
mitted. This failed. The bill
then passed 81 to II.
The Salaries bills-both for
county officials and district at
torneys, were not taken up at
2.30 p. m. Tuesday although they
were special order for that hour.
When the president of the senate
called for the special order, Mr..
Champion arose and moved that
the bills go over until Thursday
afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock. The
motion prevailed without opposi-
ton and the senate then adjourn
ed until 2 p. m. Thursday.

sengers passed through the doors. A
woman entered. Her modish skirt
was slit from ankle to kneelet and a
stream of afternoon sunlight filtered
through her tight, clinging raiment,
sihouettng her form.
Suddenly the blind" man sat up
straight and began to stare. His
glasses fell off. He gathered up his
pennies and followed the woman. A
policeman who witnessed the incident
also followed. He saw Kern staring
at the woman's skirt with a stare that
was certainly not that of a blind man
Then he arrested Kern. Mayor Shook
fined the alleged blind man $25 and
costs and banished him from the city.
