COUNTY BOARD CONSIDERS
ROOM FOR COURT HOUSl
County Commissioners Purchase
Main Street Lots Adjoining
Proposed New Site.

A delegation of Lamar business
men and farmers from the sur
rounding territory visited the
board of commissioners recently
and laid before them few facts
concerning the site for the prOpos-
ed new Ourt house.
The county has quarter block
north of the Jail site and while this
might be room enough for the
building it would leave very little
room for grounds after a building
adequate for PrOwers cOunty's
needs was erected. Also the Main
street lots just west would always
be open to business houses with
the result that the unsightly
scenes along the alleys in the bust
ness part of town would always be
right up against the best public
building of the city.
The delegation for that reason re-
quested the commissioners to in
yestigate the possibilities of buy
ing the lots, closing the, alley and
building the court house in the cen
ter of the north half of the block,
thus giving the city control of the
entire block except the five lots on
which the Central school is located.
The commissioners were unani-
mously OF the opinion that this was
the right thing to do and annOunc-
ed that they had given the matter
serious consideration already and
arrived at the same conclusion as
had the delegation.
Following this up with their usu-
al businesslike activity the board
has secured the title from A.
E. Bent to the four lots on
the north west corner of the
block. All that now remain are two
lots belonging to L. Writ Markham
and one to FL. B. Manpille.
The completion of this deal may
delay the building of the court
house year or so, but it is far pre-
ferable to building it in location
or manner that would always de
tract from it's beauty and be an eye
sore to those who transact business
there continually
The people of Lamar and Prov
ers county have put up with
dinky and inconvenient court
hose so long that they would ra-
ther keep it up little longer while
they are accustomed to it, so that
they can enjoy a real one when the
proper time comes.-Lamar Regis

Not Nature Faking Now.

That animals know nothing of
changes in human laws was amply
proven in The Register backyard
on Tuesday afternoon. A six foot
snake crawled right up to the back
door. He felt perfectly safe and any
time previous to July 1st he would
have been, for each one of the force
would have been afraid to even
hint he saw such thing, but on
Tuesday all knew it was the real
article and no hallucination. So Mr..
Snake met with a fatal accident in
stanter.-Lamar Register.

Nine. Harris Sings Classic Songs
sonatas Please Audience,

Two recitals took place yesterday at
Asolian Hail. In the afternoon Rachel
Morton Harris. soprano from the
middle West. who had sung a solo part
in Walter Damrosch's music written for
the Greek plays which Margaret Anglin
gave here last season. was heard for
the first time in New York in a pro-
gramme OF classic airs and songs.
Nine. Harriss delivery showed in
telligence and artistic sensibility while
her style was better suited to modern
songs than to old airs Her voice had
sufficient power for the demands of song
recital but in quality 1t left something
to be desired. Her technic was not
always sure. Her low tones, especially
were often yelled. though In the upper
middle register when she sang forte
they were much moro free and agree
able to hear.
She was particularly happy in such
songs as Tschaikowsky's 'Since am
Once More Alone" and Dvorak's "a
Broken Heart" which she sang with
admirable tate and fine feeling.
In q French group. Isidore Luckstone's
song, "Que Je TOublie,' was well sung
and had to be repeated. Mr.. Luckstone
assisted the singer by playing the piano
accomplishments.
In the evening Augusta Tollefsen,
pianist, and Michel Penha, cellist, gave
a sonata recital. The programme COM
prised three sonatas, Beethoven's. opus
l02, No. l, Brahms's, opus 80 and Orn-
STEMS. opus sc.
The performance of the two players
was smooth. conventional and unin-

America for the Americans was OBJ
served once moro at the Metropolitan
Opera House last evening. THE Legend
The Temple Dancer" and "shanewis''
were sung. Repeated observation of
these works effects no change in the
opinions formed at their first hearing.
Mr.. Breil, composer of THE Legend"
has confided to some of his acquaintance
that the work was not designed for the
Metropolitan stage but for the rude
ouffetinss Of the long distance circuits.
This would account for the choice Of a
lfbretto OF the school of freside fiction
which seeks to give piquancy to the
domestic peace by filling the imagination
with pictures of desperate deeds.
Mr.. Breirs music is at any rate as
tumultuous az the passions of the play,
and the three Metropolitan singers, Miss
Ponsella, Mr.. Althouse and MI d'Angelo,
90 at 1t with remorseless vigor. Miss
Ponsellas grand voice already shows
como results of her pltiless treatment
OF 1t. Power and brilliance are there,
but some Of the mellowness has de-

''The Temple Dancer" Is an opera
which commands some praise. but which

elimination of its story. The little work
owes much to the excellent art of
Florence Easton, who was praiseworthy
In the first performance and has made
improvement with each repetition. Mr..
