MORAVIANCHOIR
SANGEASTER
CANTATA

Last Sunday evening the Moravian
church choir sang the cantata entitled
"The Triumphant Life" before large
audience. The cantata consisted of
several anthems, solos, and trios for
men and women, which were success
fully carried out. Under the leader
ship of W. Mortenson, the director,
the soloists and choir members de-
livered their parts wonderfully we'll
and pleased the audience greatly. The
story of the cantata was the Cruel
fixion and Resurrection of Christ and
the audience were given printed pam
hlets with which they could follow the
singers, getting the real significance
of the story and a better understand
ing of it, The solos rendered by
Walter E. Herschleb, Axel Anderson,
2. II. Muehlstein and baritone solo
by W. Mortenson were we'll executed.
Special mention must be given
Miss Nina Schuman, Soprano; Mrs.
C. Binneboese, Contralto; Miss Hor-
tense Metzger, Alto, and Mrs. c. A.
Meilicke, Contralto. These solos were
very nicely executed and pleased the
audience highly.
The choir and Miss Esther Witte,
piano accompanist, worked hard for
several weeks on the cantata and are
surely deserving of much praise as is
also the director, Mr.. W. Mortenson.

Under Jurisdiction of r. r. Body.

UnOSf JGcISuiCtion CT n. n. 6OOJ.
Jitney regulation has fiared up in
the legislature again with the persist
ent demand on the part of the trac-
ton lines to bring omnibuses under
the railroad commission. The joint
legislative highway committee has
been asked to recommend for passage
the Perry bill, introduced by Clark NJ.
Perry, asSemblyman from Oshkosh.
This bill provides all automobiles
operated over regular routes and main
tanning regular schedules shall be
brought under the jurisdiction of the
railroad commission as common car
rierS. The effect of the passage of
the measure would be the elimination
of bus lines operated in direct COM
petition with interurban lines. The
railroad commission would have the
power to rule against such cOmpeti-
ton where no public convenience or
necessity for such service was ap-
parent The bill would increase the
liability of bus companies from $1,000
TO $4,000 in addition to making them
common carriers. While all lines would
be subject to railroad commission reg
ulations, only those in competition
with other common carriers would be
put out of business, advocates of the
measure said.

Frank Eberhardt, who resides three
miles northeast of Kellner, had the
misfortune to lose so cords of wood,
a garage and a small amount of lum-
Der when the fire of unknown origin
destroyed the property sometime dur
ing the night of March 23rd. A Bris-
>coe car, which belonged to his son,
Seth, was also destroyed. The exact
cause is not known but it is supposed
that fire from the smokehouse, in
which they were smoking meat, was
the means by which it started. The
loss was not discovered until the next
morning when Mr.. Eberhardt found
the remains of the wood still smolder-
ing. The car is total loss as no in
surance was carried on it by Mr. Eber-
