SeIf-Reliant Art.

Music is the most complete and self
reliant of the arts. according to the
eminent critic, William ]. Henderson.
1t has no unitarian purpose, like archi-
lecture; it never, like literature, be-
comes q treasure chest for the archives
of history. Despite Wagners exhll-
arating Interpretation of the Seventh
Symphony as "the apotheosis of the
dance" that composition remains an
absolute symphony in A major
capable Of resting wholly upon its
own musical beauty. A suite by Bach
can live a thing OF beauty and JOY
forever, even while it calmly defies
every attempt to create for 1t any
foundation outside it's own thematic
materials. Mozart's concertos and the
symphonies of Brahms belong to this
same class. All their eloquence con-
sists in lofty song. They tell no stories
they paint no pictures; they make no
futile essays at preaching PHILOSOPHERS.

Al Tuesday selection many towns
and cities in northern Wisconsin went
into the dry column while others yot-
ed TO remain wet and a few went from
dry TO wet. Most notable of the latter
was the city of Superior, which, fol
lowing a year of no license, was car
ritd by the vets. For the second time
within year Duluth voters were
called up0nto express their choice in
the matter, resu ting in the drys win
ming by Il good majority. Iron River
and Ashland went wet while Bayfield,
joined the drys and Washburn re-
mains dry because the matter failed
to come before the voters. Mellen
went dry and so did Phillips and Park
Falls, the latter by but five votes.
Glidden remains in the wet column
as does also Rhinelander. The big
gest victory for the drys in the state
was the elimination of the legalizrd

another was injured as a result of a
shooting affray at Pence last Sunday
evening. The affair took place in the
saloon OF John Barbolosi. which was

the crowded saloon and began firing
a revolver in regular wild west style
and when the smoke had cleared away
it was discovered that two men had
been injured Andrew Bianko was
struck in the left side by one of the
bullets and he was taken to the hos

that he Will recover. Another bullet

having been the person who welded
the gun and brought to Hurley. His
