First Band Concert
A Gratifying Success

The first concert by the famous
Fourth Regiment band-the first of
the series recently planned and the
first of the year-was given at the
Methodist church last Monday even
ing in the presence of an appreciative
audience.
The program was of a high order
and showed that the members Of this
musical organization have been re-
hearsing in a name indicating a full
conception Of the i~ntricacies and
idealism of high-grade music.
The band was assisted by Miss
Miriam Fryberger who sang in a most
artistic manner "sThe Sunshine of Your
Smile" responding to the encore with
I'D Like to Be a Soldier Boy in Blue
Watertown audiences always like to
hear this popular young soprano.
Another number was by Miss Hazel
Skinner, who rendered a piano selec-
ton, the Eleventh Hungarian Rhap-
sodie," and acknowledged the encore
with a second number that indicated
a high degree of skill.
Good judges of band music unite
in saying that the organization shows
improvement in tone and execution
since its last seasons playing, show
ing that the members have given due
attention to faithful study.

]. E. Murphy Crushed
by r. r. Snow Plow

E .LE -HatsE
J. 3. Murphy, a veteran in the serv-
ice OF the Minneapolis & ST. Louis
railroad, met death near Bradley last
Thursday. The heavy snow pillow top
pied over on him, crushing his life
out.
The track-clearing crew left Water
town and worked its way northwest.
Near Bradley, and after the cut had
been partially cleared, the victim was
standing in the cut, with his back
against the snow wall. while the snow
pioW was presumably passing, but in.
stead of cutting its way through it
toppled over, pinning MI. Murphy be-
meath it.
His fellow-worEmen made frantic
efforts to extricate him, and finally
succeeded. but only to find that the
mans bones had been broken and his
chest crushed in.
The remains were brought to this
city to the Cozy Home undertaking
rooms, where they were prepared for
burial.
The deceased had been in the EN-
ploy of the company for more than.
thirty years. He leaves a wife and
one Q to mour his untimely de.
mise.
He was well and fayorably known
by a wide circle of friends in Water
town and vicinity where he had re-
sided for many years and where he
was held in high esteem.

that the paper contains more real local news than any other paper
that is distributed within Watertown during the whole week,
Many Watertown people, away from home for i season, have
ordered The Saturday News to follow them because, as they have
told Us, they get more Watertown and Codington county news II ~
than they get in any other paper published anywhere on earth
They don't have to wade through Q colunn of printed matter, so
they tell us, to find the meat of an item that might have been con
densed into a few inches.
And that's why, no doubt, that The Saturday News has been
able to hold its large list Of subscribers in Codington county despite
the fact that papers published both inside and outside of Watertown
have offered their respective publications to rural communities six
days Of the week for only a dollar sum that represents less than
the actual cost OF the white paper used and which amounts almost
to free circulation outside of the city.
And the beauty of it all is, so far as The Saturday News lis
concerned, that the paper goes to all subscribers at the same price.
The subscribers inside the city of Watertown are not compelled to-
pay, say, five or six or seven or eight dollars d year, while those
living outside Of Watertown get it for, say, . dollar-its the same
price to everybody. Those who are supporting it with their adyer-
tHng and other patronage don't have to pay double or treble price
for it "a compared with those who eyince no interest ia the pubica-
ton executing for the news they get out of it.

ORPHEO THEATER.

Yonkers, N. Y.. is a town which has been made famous by many things, among them a bum joke. Most every thing has heard 1.-the alleged eiuery of the English visitor to this country, when first he heard the name of the place. He asked, so it is alleged, What are Yonkers?" His question, so far as known, has never been an swered. Be that as it may, Yonkers are a fine. thriving and beautiful suburb of "the big burg" and also 1t are tho place where most of the scenes in the newest Douglas Fair banks-Triangle play, Manhattan Madness" were made. The Triangle studio used in many of the scenes stands on the property which was once the Clara Morris homestead
 Here the famous American actress lived for many years, until. 1e" years ago. she disposed of the place and moved to a smaller home on Long Island. In addition to the studio building, erected on the property ait CT it's purchase for picture uses, the old residence is also standing, over looking the Hudson river, and it plays a big part in the adventures Of Falf- banks in his latest role. The old man. sion afforded splendid possibilities for the Fairbanks stunts and the pictorial possibilities of the play as we'll.
