COMING.

The Tri-City Musical association
will hold its first May festival in the
Davenport coliseum Thursday and
Friday, May II and y, with one az
ternoon and two evening programs by
the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra.
The tri-cities have had number of
May festivals in past years or more or
less moment but this will be the first
under the management of the Tri-City
Musical association organized last
year. The establishment of musical
festival as an event of the spring sea-
son was one of the main objects of the
organizations of the musical societies
of the three cities. The Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra is SO well known
in the community that no further COM
ment is necessary, its high standard
being a guarantee for its programs
and soloists. Emil Oberhoeffer will
be the conductor as in former years.
The soloists will be Louis Graveure,
baritone, called the sensation of the
year because of his wonderful sue
cess and the receptions accorded him
all over the country; Albert Lund-
quist, the celebrated young American
tenor who sang with such success at
the production of j. Victor Bergquist' S
oratorio, "Golgatha"; Leonore A. AL
len, soprano Jean Vincent Cooper
contralto, who won the $4,000 scholar
ship prize for the most beautiful
American voice among 400 applicants
Cornelius Van Vleet, 'cellist and Rich
ard Czerwonky, violinist
All the programs will be given in
the Davenport coliseum because it is
the largest auditorium in the three
cities, and its great seating capacity
makes possible the exceptionally reas-
enable price of $3.50 a ticket for the
course of three performances. But tC
make the festival a success 1000 sea
son tickets must be sold. Tickets will
be- sold and reservations made in eacl
OF the three cities and the members OF
the association are planning for z
thorough and active campaign. The

FOURTH OF JULY

The business men of Merrill are
preparing for one of the most extern
sive Fourth of July celebrations ever
held in that city. The celebration
will commence at dawn and last all
day and into the night. Two bands
are to furnish music and head NAM
moth parade to the park, where games
will be played and prizes given to ath-
letes. A dancing pavilion for the day
in the park; free lunch to the far
mers. The Wisconsin Valley Electric
company will donate the lights for the
evening in the park, which will be
made light as day, and an electrically
lighted flag will be placed in the park
by the company and lighted up for
the occasion in the evening. A fea-
ture of the day will be an auto par
ade. No money will be expended for
fire works, but all will go for amuse-
ments and a good time. This is SEN
sible, as much money can be burned
up in an hours time as the expenses
of the day will come to. There will
probably be celebration in Wausau,
but not such a one as will be enjoyed
at Merrill.

Dinner at the Hotel Northern Largely
Attended.

The dinner given by the good roads
department of the Chamber of Cons
merce and the Rotary club on Thurs
day noon at the Hotel Northern was
largely attended, nearly one hundred
being present. The downfall of rain
just before noon and heavy rains of

country from attending, but, as it was,
it was a great get-together meeting of
the good road boosters of the city and
the county. At the conclusion of the
dinner H. G. Flieth, acting as toast
master, introduced A. R. Hirst, state
highway engineer, who talked upon
earth roads and told the chairmen of
the various towns and pathmasters,
as we'll as others, how to build and
take care of them. Mr.. Hirst was
asked many questions at the close,
which he gladly answered. He was
followed by an eloquent talk on good
roads by Frank Cannon, field secre-
tary. Cones orchestra furnished
music during the dinner hour.

HONORED JUSTICE ROSENBERRY

B. Heinemann gave a dinner party
at his home on Franklin street, last
Wednesday evening to gentleman
friends, the guest of honor being JUS
tice M. B. Rosenberg. Covers were
laid for twenty-siX. The tables were
arranged on the porch and were very
attractive in their decorations of the
seasons beautiful flowers. Mrs. Hell
nemann was assisted in serving by
her daughter, Mrs. l.. A. Spencer, of
Middletown, Ohio, Mrs. Walter B.
Heinemann, Mrs. S. M. B. Smith, Miss
Minnie Smith and Miss Gertrude
Heinemann. The dinner was in the
nature of a farewell to Mr.. Rosen-
berry. While he has been away for
several months yet his home was still
here and he came almost every week
to visit his family. Now he has dis
posed of his residence, packed his
household goods and very shortly will
move with his family to Madison,
where they will make their home, so
this is the time of their final
departure. Neal Brown was toast
master and at the outset he said many
very nice things about the guest of
honor, relative to his life and work in
Wausau, and then he called upon
various ones present to speak. Those
responding were ]. L. Sturtevant, c. b.
Bird, Walter Heinemann, c. c. Yaw-
key, Walter Alexander. L. A. Pradt
NJ. A. Hurley and DR.. A. w. Trevitt,
and each had something to say about
Justice Rosenberg, as he had been
known in his life among US. All deep
ly regretted the departure of himself
and family. To this Justice Rosen-
berry replied most feelingly, assur-
ing all that he never expected to
form new friendships which would be
as lasting and as dear to him as those
at Wausau; that while his home was
TO be elsewhere, he expected to come
here often. Mr.. Brown thought that
it would be fitting for the host, B.
Heinemann. TO make the closing re-
marks. as sort of a benedictiOn. Mr..
HeiRemann, after expressing pleasure
at having Justice Rosenberg and so
many of his old-time friends present,
and making reference TO his life here,
proceeded to present him with a silver
loving cup, in behalf of friends, as a
small token of their love and esteem.
Mr.. Rosenberry's words of acceptance
we're full of appreciation and very i'm
pressiye 1t was q most delightful
event.

ALL having a common interest reunite
in a common effort to save our cOun-
try Ladies and gentlemen l beg to
call your attention to the word re
unite The words save the country
have been disguise of the opposition
for years. There may be a political
war today, in this country, but that
war only exists between factions.
Why did the gentleman quote the
words of Lincoln, in the hope of re-
uniting Americans? No. Americans
are reunited as never before. He
meant by re-uniting that two factions
of his party should reunite. These
two factions of his party should re-
unite. These two factions or parts of
them hoped to join for self-aggran
dizement Leaders of these two fac
tiOns-factions powerlesS as entities
hoped to join hands, however,
stained and however divided on ire
concilable principles, for the insidious
purpose of everthrowing a third en-
tity, which for the past four years
stood united in a common cause;
whose shiboleth is one for all and all
for one; equal rights and special priv
ileges to none; whose chief tenet of
faith is that America is Americans
and Americans are America.
This is a crucial hour in the his
tory of the world. 1t is an hour when
every man should take stock of him
self and his principles. This is an
hour when every one should see
whether in his inner consciousness
he squares with the ideals of 1876,
and the later periods of dramatic
episode. when this country resolutely
maintained peace with honor.
The democratic party in the face
of scandalous and vicious attacks
has maintained its great American
ideal. While for peace, it has stead
! lily and surely worked for sound and
powerful preparedness. 1t has main
tanned 4 solemn, calm dignity in the
face of circumstances which might
have drawn it into the vortex of a
world destruction. Though vilhhed
| by self-seekers. it has maintained
| friendly relations throughout the
world: il has been true TO the spirit
of America; it has been true TO the
| great principles of Washington, JEFF
| ferSOn. Madison ana Jackson; it has
| allowed no selfish interest to bind it
to the fundamentals of its faith and
the country has found that its conf
dence has been well bestowed. The
Democratic party has proven itself a
party of principle; party of construc-
tive ability, a party of performance.
II has proven that ideals can be rea-
lized United we stand for America.
Ladies and gentlemen of this great
convention. the elephant is dead, the
moose is dead. Long live the Ameri-
can eagle"
The principle speaker Of the con-
vention. Chairman Glynn then made
the keynote speech:

dent since the civil war has had as
