vicinity met last night at Rapidan
for further consideration of the
berry box question. After some dis.
cussion 1t was decided TO order
boxes from st. Louis and to use
square boxes as the standard. Ow.
ing to the new box law requiring a
slightly larger box than has been
used in the past, the question OF
how much should be paid for picking
was taken up and it was the de.
cision OF those present that the for.
mer price of one and a half cents
box for picking Strawberries should
be raise to two cents, and the price
for raspberries should be increased
from two cents to three cents a
quart.

Piano Recital.

Piano Recital.
-Four pupils of Miss Else Jache
were heard in piano recital in the
Centenary Methodist church las,
evening. Threeof them had been heard
IN recital here ut previous time,
Miss Nellie Nitzkowski, Miss Lott
chen Knaak and Miss Mamie Skuse:
but the fourth pupil, Miss Elfriede
Struss, made her first appearance
in Mankato last night.
To those who heard the recital
given by the other pupils last year,
there was a great difference in the
concert of last year and this, the
young ladies having acquired a very
great deal In the years work. Miss
Knaak opened the program with a
group Of five selections. Her great
est impression was probably
made with Saint Saens "The Swan
but Chopin's Waltz, Emil" was also
n popular number. Miss Knaak
showed much skill in her playing.
Miss Nellie Nitzkowski gave n
group of four, "Gavotte and Mu.
settle" by D'AIbert, proving to be a
splendidly executed number. Her
closing number, "Fantaisie Impromp-
tn" by Chopin, was also given In a
particularly meritorious manner.
Brohms' Seven Waltzes" as
given by Miss Struss were very
splendidly given, her Interpretation
OF the various movements being
beautifully done. Miss Struss showed
marked musical appreciation in her
numbers. and each of her four selec.
tons was deserving of favorable
criticism.
Miss Skuse closed the program
with group of FIVE. II would be
difficult to select any one number
from her group to speak particularly
OF, but her two compositions by
Sapellnikof, "Scherzo. Op. 80" and
Dance OF the Elves" were particu.
larly pleasing. Miss Skuse shows
much feeling i'm her work. as we'll as

mic skill.
The recital was commendable
one as a whole, and is a credit to
Miss Jache's training.

To the Voters:
Where there is a choice among
men for a certain Office within
the gift of the people it should
be given to the man that is best
qualified and at the same time
the most deserving of the place.
Among the candidates for the
Office of Treasurer of Adams
county there is a man who mea-
sures up to both of these specifi-
cations and we who know him call
him dad" Fuller. Dad is too
modest to toot his own horn and
therefore we who know him and
his qualities think it but fair
that the voters know the life
story Of the man who comes be-
fore them at this time.

and came to Minnesota with his
parents in the early days. He

to Dakota Territory and was ad-
mitted to the bar and licensed to
practice as attorney, but he nev-

tice but devoted his education to

He served for two years as

and tried republican.
He has devoted nearly forty
years of his life, the life of a
university man and LAWYER, in
helping to develop a bowling
wilderness into what you now
know as the Dakotas. In all that
time he has never asked for any,
thing at the hands of the voters
of this or any other county. Now
it is within the power Of the vot-
ers to show their appreciation of
what he has done. No man can
question his qualifications and
his past in the progress of this
country shows that he is deserv-

he will make an efficient official.
