FOUR ARTISTS
COMPANY SOON
AN ORGANIZATION OF STARS
PRESENTING CLASSICS BY
MUSIC MASTERS

The purpose in mind in the organ
ization of the Four Artists Company
was to combine in one organization
four real musical stars whose produc-
tions would include only the best in
the musical world. That this has been
done the four names mentioned be-
low will attest.
Frederick w. Xickbush, Junior, the
celebrated baritone has gained many
triumphs in both Europe and Amer
lea. He has sung in many German
Operas and has given recitals in all
the principal cities of America. He
has a rich and powerful voice of fine
quality.
Clara Marie Len, the pianist, plays
with much fire and temperament and
has had high recognition. The musi-
cal Leader says: "Miss Len plays
with authority and musical tone" The
Musical Courier says: "Miss Len
played with much life and temper
ament." Miss Len has also been a
teacher in the Fine Arts Building, Chi
cago.
Jacob Reuter- is thorough master
Of the violin. Educated by the great
masters of Europe and fired by native
talents he is pronounced by the critics
marvelously gifted violinist.
Klare M. DeVine has repeatedly
sung with Walter Damrosch and 9TH
er notable organizations. She is the
possessor of an exceptionally pure
colorature voice. Her education is
complete and she has become great
favorite with the best musical audi
ences.
This superb organization of artists
will appear on our Lyceum Course,
November 18th, and will appeal strong
ly to all music lovers.

GOING AND COMING

The "iup of life" has lost its cork
for one e. A. Emerson, for at least
four months and fifteen days, having
drawn that on aplea Of guilty to ped.
ding rank substitute OF that stun
of which Dick Swiveler is said to have
used to fan the sinking flame Of
hilarity. Just why he choose as the
base Of his operations the Williston
cemetery is not plain unless he went
on the theory that the dead tell no
tales. He failed, however, to reckon
with his host-the "spirits" gave him
away.
Emerson conceived the idea that it
would be a good scheme to 60 out in
the suberbs and spear the farmers as
they came along, thus securing an ad-
vantage over his less enterprising
brothers. Accordingly he loaded up
with a consignment of wet goods and
took position on the cutoff road
that leads by the cemetery northwest
of town. Meeting rig coming he
would mount it and offer his wares
for sale, and on meeting another he
would dismount and climb onto that,
thus getting them coming and going.
His efforts to climb the capitalistic
ladder to opulence by the way of
"quick sales and small profits" on
misbranded and illicit goods was of
short duration. The strong arm Of
the law descended on him, and while
he plays checkers with his nose at
Erickson's boarding house he will
have one hundred and five days in
which to reflect that "the wicked
stand in slippery places"

LINEMAN HILL ...
MEETS DEATH
RERORTED ELECTRIC SHOCK
CAUSES FALL FROM POLL
AND DEATH FOLLOWS

David Hill, lineman for the Dak-
ota Western Telephone company of
this city, met almost instant death
when he fell from one of the tele-
phone polls in the alley back of the
WilGston Drug store Saturday after
noon about o'clock. He was taken
to the hospital but died before reach
ing there. 1t is reported that his tall
was caused by him receiving an elec-
trio shock from one Of the iron braces
on the poll. An electric wire is strung
on the telephone polls and was run
through the angle between the poll,
cross arm and the iron brace. 1T is
claimed the wire rubbed against the
iron brace wearing off the insolation
and when the naked wire touched the
brace it was charged with electricity
to a voltage of about 2300. Hill, as
sisted by L. J. Lane was busy string
ing a special telephone wire for the
First National Bank at the time of the
accident. He was climbing the polls
getting the wire over the cross arms.
Just as he reached the cross arm of
this poll he was seen to throw up
both arms and fall backward landing
on the back Of his head and neck.
Examination showed that the base of
the skull had been fractured. The
condition of the blood, it is reported,
went to prove that he had had an cleo
trio shock and this shock evidently
caused him to fall. s.
Funeral services were held yester-
day afternoon in the NJ. E. church at
o'clock, conducted by Rev. Wall,
after which the Workmen took charge
and interment was made under the
ceremonies of that order.
David Hill was just twenty years
old and was the eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jesse Hill of this city. The
young man was born in Williston and
lived here all his life. He was a very
robust healthy young man and bore
an excellent reputation. He leaves to
mourn his loss, besides his parents,
two sisters and a brother, his fiance,
Miss Hazel McChesney to whom he
was to have been married the first
Of the year.

THE BANANA BELT

Are we in the Banana belt? Well
we should smile, we've been there for
quite a while; and the farmers keep
on plowing. They were at it the lat
ter part of last week and this week
as we'll. The continual good weather
lately has taken all the frost out of
the ground and given the people
chance to get lot of work completed
that otherwise would have been left
over until spring and thus delayed the
seeding.
