also after each initiated bill or amend

voter, but that is the object of all

your cross mark after each place

major, by Beethoven, known to mu-
sicians as the "Fruhling (Spring)
Sonata" because OF It's fresh and
delightful melodies and sparkling
coloratura variations.
The last two movements as rem
dered we're particularly enjoyed. The
ensemble of these two artists Is
perfect and of the kind that can
only be acquired by constant asso-
citation and daily study. For solos
Mr.. MacPhail gave poetic renditions
Of the Wilhelm arrangement Of
Schuberts ave Maria" an air by
Ole Bull and very brilliant exposi-
tions of Spinning Song" by Dienzl
and the celebrated "Zigeunerweisen, .
or Gypsy Airs blu Sarasate. His tech
niuue was more than equal to the
demands of the latter number and
throughout the program his playing
was marked for fine warmth of
tone. An unusual and very interest
ing feature of the program, was the
solo for Viola by Edward Tawler.
This was a "Bouree" by Handel
and as an encore he gave the Even
ing Star" from "Tannhauser." which
was particularly fitted to the deep
tone of his instrument.
Miss Grace Chadbourne, soprano,
assisted these artists and disclosed
a voice high in range and dramatic
in quality, particularly suited to the
first of her numbers, the arts zone
Fine Day" from the opera MA
dame Butterfly" She handled her
voice very skillfully and in the
Interpretation OF all her numbers
displayed much temperament and
feeling for the text. A group OF
song included Morning" by Obey
Speaks. Sidney Homer's Dearest,
and the BOAT Song" by Harriet
Ware. She also sang song with
violin obligato and several encores.
The program closed with the
Coronation March by. Meyerbeer
played by the quartet with piano
Mrs. MacPhail played the beautiful
aceompaniments for all and added
much TO the success Of the program
The performance of all these art
lists were marked by that enthus
iasm which always doubles the Ell
| joyment of an audience. The norma
school is to be congratulated on III
course.

Henry Geischen Is said to be want
ed In Mankato for having worked
on an alleged worthless check for
s2S on business man OF the city.
About week ago smooth strang-
er of suave manners made the ac-
qnaintance of the. proprietors and
clerks OF the Boston Clothing store,
223 South Front street. He made
small purchases for cash from time to
time. He said he was q cigar sales.
man. He claimed to have sold TO
the Patterson Mercantile company,
s2.500 worth OF cigars. ..
Last Monday afternoon he came
into the same clothing store. that
of Rudberg Brothers & Hanson and
bought a suit of clothes and three
union suits. The bin came to s2S.
He offered a check. but this was re-
fused, unless II should be endorsed
by some responsible local man. The
buyer willingly consented to this. He
even invited Andrew Rudberg. Of
the firm. and Frank Langes, a clerk.
to take supper with him at q local
refeshment emporium. The invita-.
ton was accepted and the three had
sumptuous feast. The stranger
then without difficulty got the pro.
prietor Of the refreshment parlor TO
endorse the SIS. check. Thereupon.
the suits he had bought we're turned
over TO him.
II was not until the stranger had
gone and the checks had been pro-
nounced worthless at the, bank that
the hotel man realized what a mis-
take he had made. He has a de-
scription of the forger.
II has been found that the Patter,
son Mercantile company made no
such purchase Of cigars as was
claimed by the polite. nervy strang.
er. The company does not know him.
The check was drawn on the
First National bank of st. Paul. No
funds were reported there to back
II up. The party who accepted the
check has requested County Attor.
ney Schmitt to issue a warrant for
Eischen's arrest.

Mayor A. G. Meyer today request
ed the Widell company TO prepare
an estimate of the cost of a forty
foot concrete bridge over the Mime.
sofa river at Main street. This esti
mate will be presented at the meet
ing of the city council next Monday
morning.
THE time has come" said the
mayor, when definite steps should
be taken in the direction of obtain
ing new bridge. The old bridge
is not adequate for the traffic thai
goes over II am told that II vi
brates most alarmingly when several
automobiles pass over IL at the same
time. We might have on our hands
damage suit that would cost us
as much as a new bridge would.
Il think the two counties. the cit,
and the village. should ali pay some
thing towards new bridge, and per
haps help could be obtained from the
state.
THE old bridge is fairly good as
yet for light traffic, and | do no,
think IL should be destroyed. II q
new bridge should be built, I belivt
1t would be a good plan to move
that bridge to another point higher
up the river. It has been proposed
to put bridge just east of Sible,
park. There would be roadway
from Mound avenue to the river. neal
Marcy street. OF course new piers
would have to be built for the old
bridge at this place. think the old
bridge would do very well for sucl
traffic as would be likely TO go ovel
