POPULAR TEACHER OF VOICE AR
DAKOTA WESLEYAN GOES TO
NORTHERN NORMAL NENT
SCHOOL YEAR.

Prof. Emory w. Hobson, head of
The department of voice in the Dako-
ia wesleyan school of music and one

of the musical faculty of the North

development of Mitchell. He came to
Mitchell in the fall of 1906 and has
since that time been actively identi-
fled, il not actually responsible, for
the musical growth of the city. As
an artist and musician he has prob
ably been the most notable of Da-
kota Wesleyan faculty members.
Through the efforts of Prof. Hob
son, some of the works of the great
est oratorio composers have been pre-
scented each spring in Mitchell at the
May festival. The most notable pre-,
%sentation came in the spring 1908,
when Handel's "The Messiah" wa
presented, with the accompaniment
by the Theodore Thomas orchestra,
of Chicago, The Minneapolis Sym
phony orchestra has assisted in the
other festivals. Prof. Hobson also
has directed the work OF the choirs
of the First Methodist Episcopal
church and the Holy Family Catho-
lie church.
The Commercial club of Aberdeen
was partially responsible for Pro-.
Hobson going to taht city. Several
big musical projects are being plan
ned for the future in Aberdeen, and
Prof. Hobson is expected to WELD the
baton in them. Profg. Hobson is 4
graduate of the Cincinnati Conscr-
vatory Of Music and a gold medall:s.
of that institution.

NEVER PASSED
BUT STILL LAW
RECORD OF APPROVAL By THE
HOUSE OF ONE ACT OF THE
RECENT LEGISLATURE.

Pierre. S. D.-Can a bill become d
law, with only direct action on the
part of one house OF the legislature,
is what Representative Buchholz OF
Meade county, and. probably many
others would like to know. The SEN
ate passed Il bill, Senate 2O2, which
limits to ten per cent per annum the
total which can be exacted as com
bincd interest and commission upon
"a real estate loan in this state. 1t
went to the house on February %,
and was given its first and second
reading. The next record is that of
the house bill clerk which shows that
it was indefinitely postponed on
March 5. The next record is by the
chairman of ~engrossed and enrolled
bills of the house. showing that it
was correctly enrolled, and then that
the speaker had signed the same.
The senate journal of March 5th
shows a message from the House
that the bill had passed without
change. 1t went to the governor and
was signed on March 10, and filed
with the secretary of state. The
house record does not show either in
definite postponement. nor a vote on
final passage. But it is filed as a
law, and will probably stand.
