The Lambardi company gives a real
| ~ great performance OF D0nizetti's

This is said without reservation, fer
Lucia presents two splendid roles for
two fine Lambardi artists, the title
role, in which Nine, Regina WEARING
, is magnificent Of voice and dramatic
presentation, and the part of Edgar Of
Ravens wood, where AgostiEi finds him
self wonderfully in harmony with the
requirements Of the composer.
Last night marked a stiH further ad-
vance in the well-knit presentation OF
opera o"er the first two nights. A
member of the company this morning
declared that the entire aggregation of
songbirds has fallen in loye with
charming Hawaii and have entered
into their work enthusiastically. There
! il certainly a freshness of treatment
an enthusiasm, a. spirit, about the
Lambardi. company that argues a new
inspiration, a peEmeation of some
Lyric element in Hawaii'S physical
makeup. For surely the Lambardi
songsters are reaching new heights
every evening.
Lucia" is too well-knoWn to re-
quire extended comment, save that the
Lambardi company is absolutely at
home in it. The title role is superb
for superb coloratura soprano, and
impossibly difficult for a soprano of
any other kind Vicarino is quite
equal to its exactions. as we'll as to
the tremendously firing vocal work
earlier in the opera~Her perform
ance of Lucia is better than the Gilda
with which she was introduced to Ha-
wall. .-...-. ....
Agostini easily won new laurels for
the tenor crown. His voice showed
somewhat unexpected strength. In
fact, many of the critics last night con-
sidered his the greatest tenor solo
work yet heard here. Similarly Nico-
letti, the baritone, showed better than
on the second night, when he sang the
Duke of Mantua.

The Band Enioyed It.

Ellsworth News: We sure sprung
a real surprise on Webster City yes
terday when we marched the band
into that burg and came up the
street playing a real tune. One man
told us that If he hadn't seen us,
he'd have thought it was a real
band. We expected to make that
little splurge altogether on our own
hook, but Treasurer Wilson handed
us slip of paper at the close of the
ball game that said our, meals should
be paid for by them. We were not
looking for anything like that, but
you bet we were grateful just the
same So it was our treat and their
treat too. But it was some celebra-
tion and no one enjoyed it any more
than the band did.

With the amount of teams that

Mayor Valentine said this morning
that 1t was too bad that the city
could not afford to buy some vacant
lot or lots near Second street and
make a ground for the parking of
automobiles. This would certainly
be very commendable If the city au-
thorities were in position to do
so, as especially on days when there
are large crowds in town the streets
are full of autos, sometimes being
packed two deep on both sides OF
the street.

kinds of people, attracting them in
winter because the stone wall, be-

them in summer by the same token

WAS ABOUT 80 YEARS OF AGE

A terrible accident occurred at
about 1890 o'clock Saturday a. m.
near harrisburg, in which Larry
Burgess, a young unmarried man
about thirty years of age, lost his
life. He was using corn elevator
outside the cribs and had the eleva-
tor propped up with stick SO he
could crawl beneath and fix some
part of the mechanism. He had
crawled beneath it on his back and
was found in this position some time
later, perhaps a half hour or more,
with the stick broken and the heavy
machine which took two men to lift,
resting upon his dead body. Both
legs were broken and undoubtedly
the walls of the cnest were crushed
in. Mr.. Burgess had a short time
ago disposed of his farm but was
still living upon it with a hired man
and his wife and running the same
farm, which he had rented Of the
buyer. He was alone at the time of
the accident and the particulars will
never be known, but undoubtedly
death was instantaneous, with no
suffering attending.
The deceased was highly re-
spected young farmer, having lived
in the community about fifteen
yearz having come to America with
other members of the Burgess fam
lily from Scotland about that long
ago.
He leaves to mourn his death a
sister, Mrs. Geo. Johnson, living
west of Webster City. Another sis
ter and brother are living in Ne
braska, the brother having but re-
Gently sold his Hamilton county
farm and removed to that state. An
other brother survives, who is res
ident of New Zealand. These to-
gether with many relatives in Scot
land are left to mourn his untimely
end. The sympathies of the entire
community are aroused by the tragic
affair, and extended to the sorrow
