Gale last night on the opening night
of the May Music Festival In this city.
Frederick Vance Evans and Miss
Daisy Eleanor Binkley of Des Moines
+ the soloists and their rendi-
lions more than took the fancy OF the
audience. Mr.. Evans responded to one
encore only and on that occasion
occasion sang "The Two Grenediers."
His singing pleased greatly and all
are convinced that the management
did we'll in his selection.
Miss Binkley also was accorded a
great reception but refused to re-
spond with an encore to the generous
applause which greeted her. She is an
attractive singer to watch as we'll as
to hear and her appearance was a
success In every way.
The male chorus of the university
sand Song of the Corrishmen" un-
der the direction of Prof. Hobson and
scored a big hit. They sang an encore
THE Rosary" There were about
sixteen men in the chorus and their
singing shows the result of long and
consistent training.
The Minneapolis Symphony orch
estra arrived this morning on the
Northwestern ready for the matinee
n concert this afternoon and to

the first performance was good and
indications today point to a record
breaking attendance from all sections
as well as from the city at the perfor-
nance tonight.

MEMORIAL DAY
OBSERVANCES
IL. A. RODEE ADDRESSES THE
OLD SOLDIERS AND FRIENDS
AT THE CITY HALL YES-
TERDAY.

The memorial day observances at
the city hall yesterday afternoon
We're we'll attended in spite of the
on in the city. The veterans of the
Civil War We're there in a body and
the interest they took in the program
was typical of the n in which
they respect and consider any patrio-
tic event they may attend.
The address was delivered by At
torney II. A. Rodee. On his discourse
the speaker got away from the con
ventional line of discussion on such
an occasion. His main purpose was
to show his auditors the value of the
services the soldiers of the civil war
rendered to their country and the
world. The speaker said that nowhere
in the history of the world had such
a body of intelligent men ever gone
to var animated by such an unselfish
purpose. They fought not for CON
quest or in self defense. but that the
nation might live, that a greater and
grander legacy might be handed
down to posterity.
Patriotism was defined as a passion
to serve ones country, and the pre-
enc or the absence of this desire
to be of service to humanity made
the difference between the patriotic
and the unpatriotic whether in time
of war or in time of peace. The speak
er closed by saying that no %pecuniary
reward could ever mpens the
veterans for what they had done;
that there is no pay for patriotism
in being patriotic to the govern
ment they fought to p%erpetuate.

TEACH INDIANS
EXPERT FARMING
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION
WORk Is BEING CARRIED OUT
ON CHEYENNE RIVER
RESERVATION

Pierre. S. D.-The Indians on the
Cheyenne River reservation are COM
ing to the front az among the most
progressive of northwestern Indians.
For the first time this year they are
taking up the same lines OF agricul-
tural extension work as has been
pushed among the whites OF the
northwest for a number of years.
Meetings for this purpose were an
%nounced at tour different places on
the reservation. and when the lectur-
ers arrived at the appointed places
they found enthusiastic audiences
waiting them at every place. In the
work the whites who We're leading
wore warmly seconded by many OF
the most progressive Indians, h
talked to their people in thei W
tongue showing them the way TO be
come successful agriculturalisis. The
principal crops in which they are
showing an interest being corn, pota-
toes and alfalfa. all OF which crops
! are successfully grown by the white
n%eighbors OF the Indians, and with
which they are the most familiar.
Contrary to popular opinion, the
enthusiasm in this line was not con
fined to the younger Indians alone,
but many of the Older men who have
been i'm the councils of the tribe for
many years were in the front ranks
and as enthusiastic in the work as
the Younger men. And the women
were not backward in the work,
many of them being as anxious to
learn as amy of the men. At Thunder
Butte station the most enthusiastic
agricultural worker found by the
committee ON the work was Mrs.
Counting, n fun blood Sioux mn
who with her husband is carrying ON
successful farming operations, While
both OF them urged agricultural eN-
tension work upon their people, Mrs.
Counting is declared to have made
the best talks, and to have done more
to secure cooperation OF the Indians
in this line OF work, than any other
of the Indians. Among the enthus-
lasts found at different stations We're
Iron Lightning. White Horse, Paddy
Miller. Peter Three Legs. and other
full blood Indians. The different sta
lions ON the reservation are all turn
ing tt air attention toward securing
the prize for the best showing at the
Indian fair to be held on hat reser-
Walton next fall. Last fall the White
Horse station secured the banner
which they prize, but farmers of 9TH
er stations are after that honor for
this year.
Ed Swan, one OF the leaders, and
son of White Swan, one of the noted
Sioux Chiefs of the past. is going far
Their than the others by installing an
irrigation plant ON his allotment on
Cherry Greek. and will pump water
with a gasoline engine TO help ont
his crops This year in case they
should need additional moisture,
which does not appear to be likely
from present conditions.

LARGE ATTENDANCE Is PRE-
SENT AT ANNUAL EVENT AND
ORATORIO AND CONCERTS
WE'RE VERY SUCCESS
Full.

The May Festival for 1913 is over
n the big m%usic-loving public of
Mitchell will have another year to
wait for another such event as this
one. The Minneapolis Symphony or
chestra and the splendid ~soloists
who accompanied it as we'll as the
members of the local choral club
again gave to this city a high class of
real music which sets a standard
which will be hard for any city to
excel.
The concert yesterday afternoon
was we'll attended and the day was
cool enough to make the inside of
he theatre nicely comfortable. The
soloists of the afternoon, We're Luel-
la Chilson Ohrman, soprano and
Richard ~Czerwonky. violinist. Each
VI these artists responded to two en-
ores. the second of which in each
.ase IA with harp accompaniment.
The orchestra played four selections
which We're excellent and highly APP
preciated.
In the evening the soloists, Bar
para Wait, contralto. Joseph Schen-
Ike, tenor. and Arthur Middleton,
baritone, assisted the choral club UNI
Ter the direction of Prof. Emory w.
Hobson, presented the cantata, 'The
crusaders" which was rendered in a
manner which is uneNcelled by pre-
iious performances in this city. The
second part of the program was given
20 the orchestra and a cello solo by
'ornenius Van Vliet and a baritone
solo by Mr.. Middleton. The orchestra
played four selections and We're re-
'eived in them with the same enthus-
assn as that given the oratorio.
Mr.. Van Vliet was forced to re-
;pond to an encore as was also Mr..
Middleton. Both We're applauded re-
oeatedly for a second encore but each
efused to respond. The affair was a
brilliant n from "A social point of
Jew and many visitors from out of
he city helped to swell the attend

MAY BREAKFAST.

One of the ~pleasantest social ev-
ents of the season was that at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. O. Walrath
ON a recent Saturday morning when
Miss Cora p. Sletten and Miss Anna
white entertained a party of six
teen teachers and other friends at a
breakfast. The guests were met at

p~roIusely decorated with apple bios
SONS, M the artistic arrangement
OF these fragrant dainty flowers was
much commented upon. The delici-
Gus breakfast was served in three
courses, the hostesses being assisted
by Miss Florence Walrath. While at
table. each guest was given a little
envelope containing ii card on which
was written a StanZa describing her
chief 60 characteristic. or prophesy-
ing some future event of her life.
These were most cleverly written
and afforded much merriment as the
various ones We're read. After the
breakfast, the guests spent some time
in wandering about the beautiful
grounds of the Walrath homc-viewing
the trees laden with their fragrant
pink and white blossoms and getting
into closer touch with Nature at this
happy time of the year. The camera
was brought and several Snaps
We're taken to have as reminders of
the delightful morning. After enjoy
ing several musical numbers, the
guests departed feeling that they had
been most royalty entertained and
that the occasion had been one Of the
happiest of the whole year.

most effectively. The table was
tastefnlly decorated with beautiful
pink roses, the centerpiece consisted
OF a basket filled with the fragrant

CLOUDS AND DAMP
STREETS.

The annual Memorial Day parade
which was held at 1920 O'Clock this
morning in honor OF the departed sol
diers of the late War OF the Rebellion
drew quite a large crowd to the down
town district where the event was
pulled off. The sky was overcast with
clouds and the way was damp under
foot but in spite OF this fact the
parade went off as per schedule, al
though somewhat shorter than il
would have been had the day been
more favorable.
The parade was led by Capt. NJ. L..
Shade, marshal of the day on horse
back. He was escorted by ~Lieutenants
b. b. Rowley, II. y. Speck and Chas.
Jones as aides, also on horseback.
Next came the Mitchell band and that
was formed by Co. +. of the state
militia under the personal command
of Lieut.. Dixon. The militia was fol-
lowed by the Mitchell fire depart
ment in uniform and it in turn was
followed by the members of the G..
A. r. Then came the carriages filled
with the flower girls, members of the
w. r.. G. and others.
When the parade reached the corr
palace, the militia and firemen stood
at attention in two lines and the
q. A. X. marched between. Here thu
old soldierst We're loaded into carry
ais and taken. with the decorating
committee to the cemetery.
After the close of the parade the
band returned to the First Nationa
bank corner and rendered a short
concert. The memorial exercises were
