The Brookings chautauqua opened
most auspiciously yesterday, there be-
ing large crowds at both the afternoon
and evening entertainments. Last
evening the pavilion was packed and
quite a few had to stand up, and this
is quite a crowd when it is remember
ed that the building seats nearly
fifteen hundred people. The two pro-
grams were given by the Metropolitan
Symphony orchestra, a splendid must
cal organization which delighted the
two big audiences. The people seem to
be taking more interest in the chau-
tauqua this year than ever before, and
well they may for a splendid week of
entertainment is before them.

FATALLY BURNED

BY her clothing coming in contact
with the flame of a gasoline stove Mrs.
Otto Arneson on Saturday morning re-
ceiyed burns which caused her death,
There is some doubt as to just how
her clothes caught fire, but the gaso-
line stove did not explode nor was she
filling it, as has been reported. Mrs.
Arneson was preparing the morning
meal at the time of the accident and
was alone in the kitchen. Mr.. Arne-
son was in bed when he heard his wife
scream and rushing out he saw her
running out of doors with her clothes
in flames. He grabbed up a blanket
and followed her into the yard, but
had some difficulty in catching her and
putting out the flames, as she was
frenzied with pain. The clothes were
entirely burned from her body, the
flames burning deep into the flesh es-
pecially on the upper part of the body.
She was removed at once to the
Deaconess hospital, where she passed
away at t%en-thirty that night. Mr..
Arneson was painfully burned about
the hands and arms in attempting to
say his wife.
Short services were held at the
home on Monday afternoon conducted
by Rev. Fosness of the Lutheran
church and the remains were taken
to the old home near Hayti,
where the funeral was held at the
West Norden church at three o'clock
Tuesday afternoon in charge of
Rev. Eidsveck of Bryant. The coffin
was completely covered with flowers,
a mark Of respect and esteem from
friends.
Mrs. Arneson was Ga years and s
months old, and was born in Norway.
She came to South Dakota with her
husband about thirty-five years ago,
settling on a homestead near Hayti,
and twelve years ago the family came
to Brookings, where they have since
made their home. Besides her hus-
band she is survived by three daugh-
ters and two sons, Mrs. W. w. Pierce
Of Black River Falls, Wis, Mrs. An
mabel Knutson of St. Paul, Mrs. H. w.
Lester OF Denning, N. NJ, Nels Arne-
son of Minneapolis, and Henry Arne-
son of Brookings.
The sad circumstances of Mrs. Arne-
sons death was a severe shock to the
community, and the deep sympathy of
Brookings people will be extended to
the grief-stricken husband and chill

Miss Harriet Ware, the young Amer
lean composer, is now recognized
among the foremost women composers
of the world. Her work has been pub
lished only few years, but from child
hood she has expressed herself in mu-
steal composition.
When young girl Miss Ware ap-
peared as a concert pianist and won
great praise for her interpretations Of
Bach. Later, during her study In Paris,
she developed a sweet, true singing
voice, and since then she has been a
deep student of the art of singing.
1t is this quality Of pianistic ability,
added to the understanding of the sing
ing voice, which makes her songs a
universal appeal to great artists and
the public.
Her BOAT Song" and 1.-THE Cross,
the words of the latter written by Ed
win Markham; the "Hindu Slumber
Song" and the Sunlight Waltz" are
some Of Miss Wares compositions that
are to be found ON the programs Of
famous vocal artists.
Miss Wares more ambitious works
are the cantatas "Sir Olaf" and I'm
dine" which were recently given in
New York city with chorus Of 800
picked voices.
Miss Ware is born naturalist, and
her thoughts follow the suggestions Of
nature Of melody and of rhythm, and
she is not In sympathy with the mod
ern trend of music, although this young
composer is not insensible to the sin
cerity of men like Debussy, but she is
FESTIVE at the thought Of an initiative

cries without his genius.

says, "and think there are both sanity

At Summer Resorts.

A young woman clever in the use Of
water colors has for several summers
made substantial sum Of money by
painting sets Of paper dolls and offer
ing them for sale In exclusive summer
hotels. They create perfect furore
among the little girls, who are eager to
buy each new set as 1t appears, and in
most cases the hotel management has
been quite willing to handle them at
the candy or cigar counters free Of
charge. 1t is always a problem to
know how to amuse the children at
summer resorts, and the grownups well
come so clean and quiet an occupation
as paper dolls. High school girls would
find this an easy way to secure extra
frocks or frills for commencement
