Col. Leach Elected.

Reports from Minneapolis early
Tuesday morning gave Col. Leach
eleven thousand votes more than Van
Lear, his strongest opponent in the
mayorality campaign in the Mill City.
This majority is ample enough to
cover any discrepancies in the unof-
fetal count of votes and assures the
election to Mr.. Leach who has had
the support Of practically all but the
socialistic and radical elenAents. This
outcome gives the greatest of salts
faction to urban Minnesota which has
watched the fight with keen interest.
Van Lear's candidacy has met with
little support outside of the Twin
Cities and his hold there has decreas-
ed steadily during the past week of
the campaign while he and his CO.
workers have been stormng the city
with anti-Leach propaganda

Famous Soprano
to Sing Here
ELLEN BEACH YAW, CoLORA-
TuRA SOPRANO WILL APPEAR
ON CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM.

Ellen Beach Yaw, world famous col-
oratura soprano, will appear in North-
field on the Chautauqua program this
year. Because she is heralded as one
of the greatest artists who has ever
appeared on the Midland Chautauqua
circuit. Miss Yaw's coming will be
awaited with keen interest by music
lovers of the community.
Many well known critics have
praised Miss Yaw's voice as one of
the finest the world has even known.
Her voice is typical coloratura So
prano, of unusual purity in the upper
register, and Of very wide range. It
ranges to B fiat above high c., being
the highest note any soprano has ever
been able to attain and hold
The childhood of Ellen Beach Yaw,
like that of many other people who
have ultimately achieved real distinc-
tion, was spent in poverty and in the
country. She was born and raised in
the United States, altho of French des-
cent, her ancestors having been among
the unfortunate Hugenots of that
country.
She comes of thoroly musical fam-
lily, and her three brothers and one
sister are all prominent musicians.
Her first public appearance was made
when she was only four years old. At
that time she was attending church
with her mother, when the minister
announced the familiar hymn, "I Am
So Glad That Jesus Loves Me-" While
they were singing it, he heard the
clear high notes of the child above
the congregation, sought her out, and
asked her to come forward and sing a
solo. She promptly complied, and tho
she was obliged to stop and spell some
of the words of the hymn out, still
with wrinkled brow she proceeded
with her task until all the verse were
sung, much to the delight of her moth
er, the minister, and the congregation.
As a. composer, Miss Yaw is COM
paratively little known. 'The Sky
lark" is one Of her principal compost
tions 1t is as a vocal artist that she
has attained distinction. Her vocal
training was begun in New York City.
Then she went to Italy, and finally to
Germany. Her debut in opera was
made in Rome, where she sang the
title role of Donizetti's Lucia Di
Lammermoor,' receiving great ova-
tion from the public there. She
made her American debut in the same
role at the Metropolitan Opera House,
New York, and has since sung in
nearly every musical center of the
United States.

Silver Wedding.

Judge and Mrs. I. M. Olsen cele-
brated- their twenty-fifth anniversary
of their marriage Saturday. The hap
py event, which united this worthy and
highly esteemed couple, was solem-
nized at Sleepy Eye, June II, 1896.
This evening at o'clock supper will
be served in the Masonic temple and
will be attended by numerous rela-
tives Of. the celebrants. The evening,
following the repast, will be spent in
formally. Among the guests, who are
here from a distance are Mrs. Oh
sens father, Hugh McBain, of Seattle
and her sister, Mrs. Rolfe Thompson
of Santa Barbara, Calf. Other rela-
tives from Minneapolis, St. Paul, St.
Peter, and nearby cities and villages
were present. The occasion was in
the nature of family reunion and
was attended by the near relatives of
Judge and Mrs. Olsen.
1t is customary in the Olsen rela-
tionship to celebrate auspicious oc-
casions Of this kind and although Mrs.
Olsen is not in the best Of health, she
was prevailed upon to not digress
from the custom.
As was noted above I. M. Olsen and
Miss Lida McBain were married at
Sleepy Eye twenty-five years ago.
Following their marriage they made
the neighboring city their home until
they removed to New Ulm, after Mr..
Olsen's election as Judge of this dis
trict in 1906. They have resided here
since that time, and have host of
warm friends, who congratulate them
upon this most auspicious occasion.
Judge Olsen was admitted to the
bar in 1893 and opened an office in
Redwood Falls in December of that
ship was formed with Attorney George
w. Somerville of Sleepy Eye, which
continued until Judge Olsen was elect
ed judge of this district He served
in this capacity until January l, 1919,
when he was succeeded by Judge
Frank Clague. At that time a part
nership was formed, which was known
as Olsen & Mueller. This continued
until Judge Olsen was appointed by
Governor j. A.. A. Burnquist to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Judge Clague, who became cam
didate for congress.
Judge Olsen is one of the most i'm
partial and capable judges in Mime
sofa, having had but few decisions re-
versed by the state supreme court. 1t
is the desire of his friends through
out this district that some day he will
be member Of the state supreme
bench.
The many friends of Judge and
Mrs. Olsen, not only in New Ulm and
Brown county, but throughout the
state of Minnesota join with the jour
nal in felicitating with them and their
two children. Miss Ruth and Harold,
on this happy occasion. Brown Coun-

owners are being put through pretty
strenuous grooming process These
days. This is being done, not in
particular because Of the inspection
June % and "a, but because of the
final inspection which will be made at

sSVXyHERE'S the frog?" asked Nan,
w cy as she and Nick and the en-
chanted goat stood in the burning
sun light on the Equator.
The twins were so happy over not
casting a shadow, and of getting the
goats permission to continue their
journey through his cave, that they
had almost forgotten their green com
panon, which was a wonder, as Nan
cy was particularly anxious to get
the frog outside. She wished to
find out if he were indeed the wicked
Jim who had caused them so much
trouble on their adventure. If he
were that person, the Equator would
put an end to his magic. Everyone
knows that no real magic can cross
it, although it may go safely under
it.
Now this is what had delayed the
green bullfrog and why he had MOI
followed the twins and the goat
through the opening to daylight. He
was searching for his Wishing Ring.
Nick had taken it off and laid it be-
side his Box of Charms.
