Second Number, Artists Course

Perhaps one of the most obvious and
at the same time one Of the surest meth
DDS of judging the success of an artist
is to read his press notices. Ii this
method is applied to Royal Dadmun,
the well known young American Bari
tone, who will be heard here at the
Opera House, on Nov. =, Friday, the
gauge would certainly register an ex-
ceptionally high degree of success for
him. Three of his New York clippings
will suffice, while long account of
the singers merits, which appeared in
q newspaper while he was on concert
tour, gives an idea of the enthusiasm
with which his concert work is received
"Mr. Dadmun disclosed a pleasing
voice and no little gift of interpreta-
tion. He was worth hearing"
p. V. r Key, New York World.
"Hs voice is Of good and powerful
baritone quality and his general display
OF il showed in tellgence, good legato
and good enunciation."
w. J. Henderson, New York Sun.
"Mr. Dadmun has voice of good
quality, which was pleasing in the
yric style which most of his numbers
were set in"
Richard Aldrich, New York Times
"Mr. Dadmun is certainly a past
master in the ART OF program arrange.
ment, running the entire gamut of hu-
man emotion as expressed in song
And his vocal attainments are superbly

remarkable sweetness-ths an attri-
butte OF relatively few baritones-and

seniority, IL is always true in intonation

ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN.

There was hullabaloo last Satur-
day over an alleged attempt TO wreck
a train near Marbel. 1t developed
that Henry Rathke, aged 81, single,
had placed draw bar and two spikes
on the G. u N. w. railway track TO
see what effect they would have on the
train. The train crew OF big freight
train saw Rathke and felt the obstruc-
tions which were luckily brushed
aside. A railroad detective located
the man. In municipal court it was
apparent that he was rot responsible
for his actions. He had not the men,

FINED FOR ILLEGAL SHOOTING.

August Garczke, a farmer living
near Valders was in court last week
charged by conservation Warden Egan
with having shot at ducks in open
water. He paid fine and costs S55.37,
and had his gun and boat contiscated
and his hunting license revoked. Mr..
Garczke probably knows now that he
must not shoot at ducks on open water
but he won't need the information for
a while because he is debarred from
getting license for year. He may
not have the end of his troubles for he
admitted having shot wild swan pro-
leeted by federal law and the matter
was reported to the U. S. authorities
and the swan may come higher than
the ducks.

DEATH Or IRA CLARK Ira Clark
of Clarks Mills died on Tuesday morn.
ing OF this week after rather pro-
tracted illness. Mr.. Clark was born in
ST. Lawrence Co., New York 90 years
ago. He settled in this county in 1945
in the town of Manitowoc Rapds. In
the early sos he moved to Cato and
built mill there. The town which
grew there took his name, and he was
always regarded as its father. Every
one had the highest respect for him
though he was man of such deep con-
victions that his opinions were asserted
without regard to consequences. His
honesty, public spirit and genuine
kindness of heart made him beloved
by al and all who knew him regret his
deatE. He was man of indomtable
purpose and courage. His funeral
takes place today and large number
of people from this city are in attend
ance as token OF respect for the de-
ceastd d and an expression of sympathy
for his relatives.

O. Torrison of this city died this
morning shortly after midnight. For
the last few weeks it was quite evi
dent to his friends that the end was
draw ing near. His health began fail
ing couple of years ago but the
mans fortitude was such that he
refused to consider himself an invalid.
1t was indomitable pluck fighting
against the weakness of disease and he
refused to yield until his strength
utterly failed him. His entire family
we're at his death bed, the boys in col
lege having just arrived yesterday.
He was born in Norway in 1928, and
came to this country in 1886. He went
to work as clerk at Port Washington,
two years after moved to Manitowoc
Rapids. From there he came to Man
itowoc and engaged in business for
himself. BY industry and enterprise
he succeeded In building up one OF the
larg st retail stores in the state. But
he not condne himself TO mercan-
tile business. He branched out into
various lines in all of which he met
with the highest success.
This notice must be necessarily
brle', but IL would be incomplete with
out tome reference to Mr.. Torrson as
man outside Of business relations
There lived no man who enjoyed his
home more thoroughly, nor who sought
mora to dispense pleasure at his owr
fires de. though immersed in business
the GENIAL side OF his nature broke
though every barrier when In the
pres nee of friends. lie loved the
com panionshl p OF those whose friend

who ever tried to do his duty and 8
man who unostentatiously helped ths
