LUCE LINE PROGRESS

Current railroad news from Min
neapolis is of much interest and i'm
p~ortance to Watertown, particularly
the splendid progress being made In
the construction and operation of the
Luce Electric Short Line of which this
city Is to be the west terminal.
On Saturday of this week the Luce
line will put into commission its first
car. The a Of the gasoline-electric
type has been delivered in Minneap-
oils, and will begin work between Min
neapolis and Wayzata on a regular
schedule. 1t will make eight trips a
day over twelve miles of completed
road. The car is equipped with a 200
horse power engine, and has both bag
gage and passenger facilities.
In addition to twelve miles of road
ready for use, the company has TWEEN
ty-seven miles of line ready with the
exception of the completion of one
bridge. 1t expects to have cars work
ing over this twenty-seven miles of
road by early spring. BY June 1t
plans to have the cars running west
from Minneapolis as far as Winsted,
MINI.
With the realization of the success
of the roads plans up to June, the
hardest part of building the Water
town-to-Minneapolis road will have
been accomplished. The most difficult
part of construction will have been
completed. The building of the west
ern end in to Watertown will be only a
matter Of time. and all interested hope
that time may not be too prolonged.
The Luce line thus far is moving
carefully but with certainty. 1t is
headed for W~atertown, and will be n
of the next big boosts for this city
II not in 1914, then by the fall of 1915.
1t will give this city a straight line in
terurban connection with the big bust
ness center of the great northwest,
and give impetus to business of all
kinds in this city.
Wherefore the operation of the first
Luce line car on Saturday of this week
will be an event of much interest and

AN MOVE

1t Is announced from Aberdeen that
the board of regents has authorized a
new agricultural course for the North
ern Normal, located at that city. A
great Juror was raised there a couple
of years ago when the regents called a
halt upon the efforts of that institu-
ton to develop a second university at
Aberdeen. 1t was In particular requir-
ed to abandon its purely academic
work. The latest action of the regents
should show Aberdeen that they are
not actuated by any desire to discrim-
mate against an Aberdeen enterprise,
but that they are trying to build up a
consistent educational system in the
state. This illustrates the difference
between the development Of the best
educational at the expense
Of the state. on the one hand, and the
exploitation Of state funds for purely
local ambitions. on the other. Should
Aberdeen be allowed to say what kind

MURDER AND SUICIDE

A dispatch to the St. Paul Pioneer
Press from Los Angeles under date of
last Thursday tells of a tragedy in
which Arthur Cunningham, formerly a
resident of Brookings, was the chief
figure. Cunningham formerly lived
here with his parents, but moved
away some years ago, and his wife is
a daughter of J. H. Kelsey, a pioneer
business man of this county. The dis
patch says:
Seated in the front compartment Of
an automobile, and clasped in each
others arms, the bodies Of Mrs. Viola
Kerr and Arthur e. Cunningham were
found on a lonely road at the outskirts
of Long Beach late last night.
After a desperate struggle, Cunning.
ham had shot Mrs. Kerr twice while
holding her tight against his breast
and then had turned the revolver on
himself.
For more than two hours the ma
chine of death stood at the roadside,
and many persons passed before the
crime was discovered.
Mrs. Kerr and Cunningham were en-
gagged in the real estate business in
Long Beach under the firm name Of
Kerr & Cunningham.
At the Cunningham home, 1922 Lin.
den avenue sat Mrs. Cunningham,
with her four little children, the young
est a baby of 9 months. waiting for her
husband. Mrs. Cunningham is a
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Kelsey,
wealthy residents Of Minneapolis.

SUNDAY CONCERTS POPULAR

That the Sunday concerts at the col
lege auditorium are indeed popular
was shown in the extremely large au-
dience which attended the concert
Sunday afternoon.
The concert was given by the Col
lege Symphony Orchestra they being
assisted by Miss Ferguson. soprano;
Miss Campbell; contralto, Mr.. Hedge,
tenor; Messrs. Gotthold and Oyloe,
bassos and Mr.. Pratt, trombone solo,
list.
The quality Of these concerts is be-
ing constantly improved the numbers,
both vocal and instrumental, upon this
occasion, being fully equal to any
thing ever given here.
Among the vocal numbers, perhaps
the most conspicuous were the two
quartets. The first, the Sanctus"
from Gounod's "Messe Solonelle" was
quite typical Of that composer in its
striking ~modulations and ensemble
effects and it is somewhat strange
that it has not become better known.
The second quartet was the well
known "Sextette" from Lucia"
Mr.. Hedge and Miss Campbell gave
a very beautiful rendering of the
familiar Barcarolle from "Tales of
Hoffman" which Notwithstanding it's
frequent use, continues to enjoy popu-
lar favor. The orchestral accompani-
ments to this and the "Sextette" were
of splendid artistic taste.
The Aria Hear Ye, Israel" from
Elijah" was given a splendid inter-
probation by Miss Ferguson, and the
Aria, "If With All Your Hearts from
the same work as given by Mr.. Hedge,
was filled with the feeling of love
and g%entleness which inspired the in
vftation.
OF the orchestra numbers, c%onspicu.
Gus were the Mendelssohn Wedding
March, the Weber Overture peter
Schmoll," and the Thomas Overture,
Raymond" all of which were receiv.
ed with decided appreciation.
Mr.. Pratt's trombone solo, the Gou.
nod-Bach, AVE Maria" was of good
tonal quality and received good phras.
ing. The orchestral accompaniment
was also a very pleasing feature.
The program, in it's magnitude and
artistic worth, was a surprise to a
number of the audience, it seeming to
be the idea that a brief program of a
half hour would be given. That the
surprise was a pleasant n was prov.
ed in the grateful results of the silver
collection taken to defray expenses.
1t might be said that this is a yer
pleasing feature of these concerts
since every n is enabled to attend
without being made to feel that it is
bepond their means, while on the
other hand it is true that such a COZ
cert entails considerable expense
more than is evident to one inexper
fenced in such matters.
We hope to see these concerts con
tinued each month. and that they may
continue to receive such support as
was given upon this occasion. For the
next concert, it is announced that the
chapel Choir will sing Gaul's "Holy
City" The date is to be announced
later.
