Most Delightful Concert.

Most Delightful Concert.
The first OF the musical events un-
der the management of Mrs. Minnie
Hubbard took place last night at the
Mankato Theatre, in the form of a
concert of chamber music by the
zoellnee String Quartet. an organiza.
tion, the members of which are all
OF one famiyl-the father, Joseph
zoellner String Quartet, an arganiza-
sons. An American organization,
of one family-the father, Joseph
training in this country, and have
just entered upon their fourth Ameri-
can season after playing in cities OF
Belgium and Germany. The good.
sized and attentive audience which
greeted these performers last night
spoke we'll for the interest given to
musical matters In Mankato, for in
the larger music centers such con-
certs of the most classical forms OF
music are only attended by the
cognoscenti This young organiza.
tion has afforded many of the smaller
towns opportunities for hearing serk
Gus music.
Considerable variety was displayed
in the program, the quartets rem
dered being one of the earlier
Beethoven quartets, one OF the Rus
sian somposer, Iwanow, and a group
OF three short quartets by Arthur
Nevin, Theru and Cherubini.
The performers were not as sue
cessful in the first number as they
proved to be in the others, although
of the four movements OF the
Beethoven quartet the second and
fourth were given with better tonal
balance and technique than the first
and third. The beautiful quartet by
lwanow was played with good en-.
semble and real musical feeling as
were the short numbers in the last
group on the program, particularly
the "Elegy." by Nevin. The second
violinist of the quartet, Amandus
Zoellner, gave as violin solos, the
"Canzonetta" from the Tschaikowsky
PiOilh COnCcEtO anu l0eme with
variations by Tartini, and responded
to an encore with a menuet by
Beethoven. He played good tone
and adequate technical equipment.
The most brilliant and one OF the
most interesting numbers on the
program was n Divertimento, op. 40,
for two violins and piano by the
modern composer Noren. Two of
the three movements announced
were given, played by Antoinette and
Amandus Zoel'r. and Joseph ZaeIl-
ner Jr., who rendered the difficult
piano part with q fine show of
technique and also accompanied his
brothers violin solos most accept
ably. This young gentleman was
also the 'cellist of the quartet, where
he gave a good account of himself
and displayed a fine warmth of tone
An encore was given and responded
to after the last number on the pro-
gram.
The second of these concerts will
be given by Rudolph CAM. pianist,
and Helen Ware, violinist on octo-

Unique Gathering.
Saturday evening, October 10th,
a very exceptional social was held
in former school district No. SO.

This district is one of the eight

little old white school house and was
held in honor of former residents,
pupils and teachers. About one
hundred thirty people were present.
A part of the program was as fol-
lows: A short sketch of the history
of the district was read giving the
date of organization in 1854 and all
the names of teachers I'm the dis
trict. Several letters from former
residents and teachers we're read. All
expressed regret at not being able
to attend and good wishes for the
success of the new school. A story
supposed to have been written by
the spirit OF the old school was an
interesting feature. II portrayed the
characteristics OF the old time school
In a realistic way but acknowledged
that the new plan is better-in fact
was sort of prophecy.
II. II. Flowers told some stories OF
boyhood days which recalled many
more "reminiscences In the minds of
the listeners. He said the gather
ing there of old neighbors seemed
almost like the funeral services OF
the old school. but It was really a
birth of new epoch in our states

then acquainted with her. She met Mrs.
Surratt while in the prison. which was
three days and not ten as PUBLISHED
Her confinement In the prison was the
