UNEARTHLY WAS THIS MUSIC
German Publication ReprImanded by.
Press Agent for MistransIatlon
of Adjective "Heavenly"

The censorship of foreign language
publications by the post office depart
ment won't be at all offensive to one
of the musical comedies which re-
Gently opened in New York. And II
the censorship can extend to the
point of gathering altogether a certain
German periodical, then the press
agent will be even stronger for the
government.
His animosity dates back to the
hand-painted account of the opening
of his play, which he wrote and sent
out some twelve hours before the cur
tain was raised on the premiere. How
ever, his description of the charms Of
the chorus, the plot, the scenery and
the personnel of the audience didn't
suffer on account of anything like that.
On the question of the beauty Of the
music he was especially grandiloquent,
and when he called up the German edi-
torial Offices the next morning he felt
that his grievance was just. But there
they told him he had used a part OF
his own copy, without changing q
single word, merely translating 1t into
German.
"Oh, you did" raved the young press
agent, and his voice instinctively told
that he was tearing his hair. 81 wrote
that the music was heavenly-and your
blamed translation made 1t say that
the music was unearthlyv"

educational courses. The total operat-
ing expenses for all the associations
was $15,S12,250. New buildings cost

was KITcHENER's OWN CITY
khartoum Rebuilt by British Leader
After II Had Been Sacked by
Dervishes on Their Retreat.

A sentimental interest will always
attach to Khartoum for 1t is Kitchen
er's city. He fought his way to it up
the Nile, to find the old town blasted,
sacked and destroyed by the dervishes,
writes correspondent. He is said to
have drawn the plans for the new
Khartoum on the sand with his own
hand. and the engineers set to work
the same day to build 1t up. The
streets and squares are laid out in the
design Of monster Union Jack.
All that was only In 1893, but the
new Khartoum is already place of
beauty and Importance. There are
many groves Of noble trees, feature
only to be appreciated by the desert
dweller, for the dervishes were not
sch0oled In the refinements of modern
warfare. They sacked the town on
their retreat, but they failed to girdle
the trees. They were only ignorant
savages and they did their best, but
thanks to their unfamiliarity with mod
ern methods, Khartoum has some beau
tiful groves today. There are rose
gardens, too, that were planted by the
unfortunate Gordon himself.
The Blue Nile runs past the city -;
river gunboats helped Kitchener to en-
compass its fall. The White Nile Is
only few miles away. These two
great arteries of trade stretch their
way southwark into the unknown and
nOrthward flows the united river to-
ward Cairo and the Mediterranean.
The trade of the town is augmented
by all manner of parties from the saw
age interior, and about KhartOum are
native villagers built after the fashion
of all the tribes of the Sudan. The
people are drawn from all the ends Of
Africa, negroes and Arabs, and from
Europe and Asia come Syrians, Greeks
and Copts. The upper classes are
Egyptians in commercial circles In the
political and administrative world the
English, of course, are dominant. II
is a strange and cosmopolitan city that
has grown from the plan that Kitch'
ener sketched on the sand, with the
dead of the last days fighting still un.
buried on the plain.

Dogs saved Boy From Bear.

Two small pet dogs saved the life OF
their thirteen-year-old master, Bruno
Westerman of st. Paul, when Teddy,
a pet black bear, attacked the boy.
AS the bear seized the boy the dogs
gave battle and Teddy dropped the
child and sought refuge in a nearby
tree.
Carl, the sixteen-year-old brother,
finally killed the bear with ten shots
from a shotgun and fusillade from a
.22-caliber revolver. The brother re-
treated to the house to protect the
mother, and from an upper window
opened fire on Teddy, who had taken
to a tree after he wounded Bruno and
the dogs gave him battle.

The members of this literary society
were entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Dolph
Andreae and Mr.. and Mrs. V. A. Lacy
at the home of the former on Tuesday
evening.
The fret number on the program was
a delicious oyster supper and other
good things which soon put each one
in the right mood to enjoy the literary
feast.
TO the roll call, current events were
given in response which brought out
much comment and discussions.
After this the regular subject was
taken up, which for the evening was
Franz Josef, the emperor of Austria,
whose death recently occurred.
A paper written and read by Mrs.
Lacy revealed many interesting chap
ters in the life.of this most interesting
monarch.
The evening was delightful one
and felt to be well spent.

Ed Oatman In Arizona

The following item is taken from the
Oatman, Arizona, News of December
2S, 1876
The name "Ed 0atman, Denver" on
the st. Francis hotel register last Sun
day naturally created great deal of
interest and comment, as since the days
of Ollie James, none of the Oatman
family have visited the camp as far as
Is known.
Mr.. Oatman, with Paul Khuen, is
representing the Hydrostatic Amalga.
mstor & Supply Co., manufacturers of
a device which has been In use in many
gold camps with very good results judg-
ing by testimonials presented by them
One of the hydrostatic amalgamators
is to be installed at the Gold Dust mill
this week as an experiment, and test
will be conducted by Engineer Brush
as to its efficiency.
According to the claims made by the
manufacturers, II operates automatic
ally and is especially adapted to the
fine gold of the Oatman district.
Mr.. Oatman is a native of Detroit,
and so far as he knows, is no relative
of the Oatman family to which Ollie
Oatman belonged.

both of Detroit, who were tried charged
with arson, was thrown out of court

agreement of the jury by eleven to one
in favor of acquittal. Sam Struss, who
confessed to burning the Foster barns
at Brown City, was the main witness
of the prosecution. The prosecution

of Port Huron defended Schomberger
and Finkelstein, along with local
attorneys.
