SONORA OPERA AT THE GRAND.
Much Interest Being Shown in Com
pany To Be Seen Tonight.

The advent of the coming grand
opera season is retaining the wonder
full interest first shown by the people
of this city. and it is safe to say, that
from the way the seats have been SELL
ing, a capacity audience will witness
the first performance of the Sonora
Grand Opera company at the Grand
theater, tonight. 1t is sometimes well
cities regarding a stage productiAn.
and the following review of La
Traviata,'' written by that emminent
Minneapolis critics ]. Ernest kam-
min, will give our local people an in
side view of what other people think
of this musical organization.
THE rendition of this forceful
opera by the Sonora company was
nothing short of perfection. Consuelo
Medina's Violette will never be forgot
enough to witness last nights per
Torrance. The death scene brought
tears to many eyes and could credit
ably be compared with Madame Bern
hardt's dramatization of that part.
Giuseppe Gori immersed himself in
the character he played. Tho young,
he is by no means q novice, possessing
a wondrous tenor voice which he con-
trolls masterfully. Eduardo Lejarazu
in the role of the father lived up to his
reputation as established in 'Rigoletto.'
Both the chorus and orchestra
gave excellent support"
Consuelo Medina, the coloratura
with the Sonora Grand Opera COM
pany, has enraptured staid musical
critics by her wonderful range and
elasticity of voice. She possesses. be-
sides a wonderful voice. comeliness of
face and figure and her rendition of
Gilda in "Rigoletto," as well as the
title role in Lucia di Lammermoor.

TO STOP FUTURES
Topeka Board of Trade RapS
Grain Spectator.
Urges Law Prohibiting Present
System OF Option Trading.

Dealing in grain futures by person
or concern not having in his or its pos
session an amount of grain or grain
products equal to the amount offered
for sale thru any grain exchange
would be made a misdemeanor. pun
ishable by fine or Imprisonment, or
both. under resolution passed by the
board of directors of the Topeka board
of trade at a special meeting this
week.
Urge Federal Law.
The local board of trade directors
urged enactment of a federal law pro-
hibiting the sale of grain for future
delivery unless the seller has grain in
his possession equal to the amount of
the sale.
The present system of permitting
open option or future trading in grain,
thereby allowing those who are not in
tereSted in the raising, marketing or
conversion of gram into usa BILE prod
ucts to influence the market against
statistical value, and the continuance
of permitting grain exchanges to deal
in future option trading in grain or its
products are condemned in the resolu-
ton.
The directors point to the fact that
during the war, when the so-called OPP
ton or future trading in wheat was
operative. a more consistent mar
ket with less fluctuations prevailed.
Must Have PRODUCES.
The spectators who have no real
interest in the farmers product or in
the welfare of the consuming public
should not be permitted to influence
the market according to their wishes,
the directors assert.
The resolution is signed by J. B.
Nicholson, president of the board of
directors of the board of trade: E. J.
Smiley. S. w. Grubb. S. P. Kramer. J.
F. Baldwin, A. H. Dillon and A. Boyce
Forbes, the members of the board.
