THE PHANTOM BUCCANEER"
 SYNOPSIS OF THE PLAY

stuart Northcote, a London adven- turer, stays the president of a mythi- cal South American republic and es- tablishes himself as dictator. Mercia Solano, daughter of the slain official, leads conspiracy to avenge her fa- ther's death by killing Northcote The buccaneer escapes to London, however, after footing the treasury of the little republic. He is pursued by Mercia and her coterie of conspirators. Northcote, perceiving his deadly peril, employs Jack Burton, an im- poverished young Englishman, to act as his double. The girl shoots at the double, and other fendish plots are carried out in an attempt to slay him. Burton illustrates them all,
 Then the girl penetrates Burton's masquerade She falls in love with him and repudiates her averaging band. Her former accomplices, bent on carrying out their death-dealing utSlSii lOCdlc llle real NOIlUCOlS. They slay him, then, in an attempt to get revenge on Mercia for her repudiation of them, the conspirators accuse her and Burton of having committed the crime.
 The two are arrested and brought to trial for murder Evidence had been framed up to prove them guilty and the shodow of the gallows al- ready had o'ercast them when North cote's old valet rushed up into the courtroom. He had been with his master when the conspirators attcked him. They thought they had killed the valet also, but despite his desper- ate wounds he recovered.

It is h.+tor however, to SOW the seeds n rows IA to Is inches apart. and when the plants come up to thin them :, tho desired distance. With the heading type this should be about 12 inches apart. This will result in the
 formation of rather compact heads
 and the entire plant may then be cut for use. For an early crop in the North the plants should be started in hotbed or cold frame and trans rlanted as soon as hard freezes are rer. In many sections of the South, the seeds are sown during the au- tumn and the plant allowed to remain in the ground over winter. Frequent
 shallow cultivation should be given
 the crop and, if crisp and tender let
 tuee is desired during the summer
 months, some form of partial shading
 may be necessary.

 Radshes are so hardy that they
 may be grown through the winter in

DITCH CONTROVERSY
LAND OWNERS ON EAST END
WANT MORE DAMAGES AND
HAVE APPEALED TO
THE COURTS.

Wentworth Enterprise: 4 meet
ing of the land owners interested in
the Lake-Moody county joint ditch
was held at the town hall yesterday.
Commissioner Ffnnie was down from
Madison and explained to those
present of the action of some Of the
land owners along the east end Of
the ditch, who have appealed from
the decision of the county commits
sioners of the two counties, and are
taking the matter into the courts.
More damages are asked by some
of the owners across whose land the
ditch will be built. Some are asking
as high as $4,000 damages, where
the ditch crosses but one forty.
Others, ii Is also claimed. are asking
amounts out of all proportions to the
actual damages to be incurred.
The commissioners of both coun-
ties believe that they have been lib
eral in allowing damages, but have
put the matter up to the land own
ers who are benefited, who. If they
choose. may authorize the commits
sioners to allow still large damages.
AT the meeting held here yester-
day these land owners decided to en-
gage counsel and appear at the hear
ing prepared to show that damages
already allowed are fair and equi-

gain in NORWAY
SOCIALISM GROWING RAPIDLY
THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY.

Christiania, Norway. March ga
A political upheaval is indicated by
the remarkable socialist gain i'm the
municipal elections in Christiania
this month. For the last 16 years
the Norwegian capital has been gov
erned by the conservative party, but
at the elections just concluded the
socialists won AZ out of the "a seats
on the aldermanic board, leaving the
conservatives 81 and the radicals
five. The radical members are known
to be ir%reconcilable to casting their
votes for a conservative mayor. and
1T is, therefore, predetermined hat
the socialists will forthwith elect one
of their representatives for mayor.
The growth of the socialist vote
all over Norway has been marked in
recent years since suffrage was eX-
tended to every man and woman over
25 years of age. In the last state
election, a year ago. the socialists
mustered 40 per cent of the voters.
One of the reasons for the recent
gains has been the high cost of liv-
ing, and many of the middle class
people whose wages have not in

over to the socialist platform, which
would have the government take
charge of trade in the most necessary
articles, such as food and fuel by
means of municipal stores where ev-
erything would be sold at cost.
Something has already been done
along these lines, in the matter of
imports of flour and sugar and the
sale of fuel, potatoes. milk and fish,
but the socialists scheme would car
ry the government help much fur
Their. even to building dwellings for
the poor and middle class workers,
who are suffering for want of houses
or from the exorbitant rent now
charged for ven the poorest kind of
rooms.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
AN APPEAL by THE COMMITTEE
SELLING TICKETS.

Dear Madison Friends: We be
lieve that you do not realize that the
Minneapolis symphony orchestra
concert is only two weeks distant,
and that large orders for tickets are
towns and that when these orders
are filled most of the best seats will
be gone.
The ticket board will be opened
Monday, April .. This means that
these out of town orders will have
the first chance at reservations un-
less you are there with your tickets.
We think that the same people who
have always been boosters for the adj
vertising Of Madison. ought to appre-
ciate that tickets are being ordered
from J%unius, Howard. Artesian and
Washington Springs. to the west;
from Cotton. Dell Rapids and Chester
to the south, and from every town
east of here ON the Milwaukee as far
as Pipestone. If auto roads are gooG
we shall draw a large crowd from all
the rural districts.
This means a big boost to every
business in Madison and is worthy of
Inc ppOr OF every business man SO
that if you do not feel that you will
get SO worth of enjoyment out of the
concert then buy your ticket to ad.
vertise the town. for the ticket sales
from out of town will not net us the
$1.100 necessary to our con
tract and advertising, unless Madi-
son people are loyal to us. The men
who are in charge of the down town
sales will be %canvassing the business
district mex Monday forenoon.
And let us add, lest you think US
mercenary, that we people who are
backing the presentation of this or
chestra in Madison are not planning
to make even 10 cents off the project
but are wholly philanthropic in oui
efforts. At the same time we nope
that in trying to do something fol-
Madison that we shall not nave &c
make up a deficit from u owr
pockets.
Sincerely yours,
The Ticket Committee
