August 26, 1908, she was united In
marriage with Mr.. Fred w. Herman.
During the past winter she suffered
from severe attack OF the grippe,

Mrs. Herman was young woman

of good literature, and given to much
quiet study and reflection. but ready
at the same time to give what time
and strength she could spare to every
form of helpful enterprise undertaken
in the community. ~ = 49,,

Miss Marie Goucher Greene of Port
land, Oregon, was in town Wednesday
and Thursday organizing the women
of Manchester who are interested in
woman suffrage. Miss Greene is the
organizer for the Third congressional
district with headquarters at Water

tions which attempt a serious study
and an artistic presentation of the
best music
The Grinnel Club is in no sense a
makeshift organization such as COL
lege glee clubs are popularity suppos-
ed to be. Many Of its members are
singers and instrumentalists of pro-
nounced ability, and from the very
first, the training of the club has been
of the most rigid and thorough type.
The club lays particular emphasis
upon rich and refined quality of tone,
purity of intonation, flexibility of ex-
preston and thatenthusiastic way of
singing which is one of the chief
charms Of male chorus.
The following are the comments Of
the press upon the clubs tour to the
Pacific coast. kansas City Star.
Perhaps there are college glee
clubs better known to Kansas City
audience than the one from Grinnell
College, but certainly no glee club
ever presented a more pleasing or
more satisfying program here than
that given by the Grinnell boys last
night when they sang in the Westport
High School auditorium. The con-
cert justified the booking Of the Grin
nell Club for "a summer vacation trip
over western circuit Of the Orpheum
houses, for the club motto .The Music
That Everybody Likes" was upheld.
yo1, tot
The enthusiasm with which the Grin
nell College Glee Club was received
at the concert Tuesday night was not
alone due to the fact that a large
number of former Grinnellians were
among the audience. The organiza-
ton is almost ideal of the kind. The
individual voices are good and they
have been trained to remarkable pre-
cision. The harmony of the voices
and the perfection of style with which
each song was presented made the
concert a genuine pleasure. The or
gan effect, in the. blending Of the bass
voices was especially fine.
Spokane Review: The Grinnell
College Glee Club repeated the suc-
cess it has made so far on it's present
trip of thirty days, at its concert last
night The conscientious work Of
the director was rewarded by the
pianissimo and screscendo passages.
Colorado Springs Gazetteer: The
concert given last night by the Grin
nell College, Glee Club Of Grinnell,
Iowa, proved decided success, as
was evidenced by the spontaneous
and enthusiastic applause.
I The club. consisting Of twenty
voices, has evidently had excellent
instruction and coaching. The differ
ent parts are well balanced and con-
tain good individual voices.
The most successful work Of the
club was its delicate and finished ham

MELPOLDER'S PLAN
HITS COUNCIL SNAC

Indications are that Secretary Mel.
polGer of the Social Service Bureau
will find 1t difficult task to put
through council his plan Of removing
the two saloons in that section of the
Third ward located north Of the Penn
sylvania railroad.
Tt, question was informally dis
cussed by the councilmen last evening
prior t. the council meeting. following
which Councilman Harry Steinbrink
expressed the opinion that council did
not find much favor with Secretary
Melpolders plan.
Council members pointed out that
Secretary Melpolder is apparently la
boring under the impression that coun-
ell can declare any part of ward a
residential or "dry" district. These
corncilmen say that such plan is
Illegal; that the entire ward must be
declared a residential district. II the
Third ward was declared dry territory
ls sould mean the elimination of four
teen rsloons, twelve south Of the rail-
road, and It IL apparent that council
.culd not consider such action.
