will pay tribute to the career Of
one of Americas most distin-
guished musical figures--the late
John Phillip Sousa, 1.-The March
King" who died within the past
few days.
Episodes from three periods of
the great band leaders life will be
dramatized. One scene, from the
time when Sousa as a 10-year old
boy was taking lessons from a
Spanish violin teacher, shows an
Outburst that occurred between
teacher and pupil. The second
episode finds him in Streator,
Illinois, at the age of 10, when as
musical head of a stock company
he tried to organize and rehearse
local musicians for his perform
ance. The third scene Is devoted
to the time when. on his second
European tour in the year 1901.
he was decorated with the Order of
Victoria by King Edward VII of
England.
As usual Don Voorhees, and the
orchestra, Gladys Britain, So
prano, and the du Pont quartet
will offer a musical program OF
brilliant tunes of the present and
past.

Those happy Christmas days that are
drawing ever near.
But to Willie, Tom and Jerry.
Just time for making merry.
While papa's nose is on the grindstone,
no one ever sheds tear.

Attempt to Wreck G. N.
tx Line Passenger Train
Hewitt Man. 80 Years Old Enters
Guilty Plea, Receives Sentence
of One Year

Clark Miller aged So years, a
farmer residing near Hewitt, made
an unsuccessful attempt to wreck
the west bound tx" Line Sank
Centre-Bemidji Great Northern
train Monday. Spikes were removed
from the rails for about $50 feet
and one rail was removed COM
pletely.
Apparently realizing the enormi-
ty of the crime he was about to
consumate Miller suffered mental
and moral relapse, and rushing
toward the oncoming train he made
frantic efforts at signaling. The
train came to standstill less than
$50 feet from where the rails had
been tempered with.
Sheriff Adams, Of Long Prairie,
went to Hewitt, small village just
east of the Wadena county line in
Todd county, placed Miller under
arrest and lodged him in jail in
Long Prairie.
The prisoner admitted his guilt,
claiming the motive for his crime
was the belief he would be able to
collect a reward" for preventing
the accident from happening.
Wednesday Miller was taken be-
fore Judge Roeser at st. Cloud,
entered a plea of guilty of "Mali-
cious Mischief" and was sentenced
to one year at the st. Cloud re-
formatory. It is understood that
the prisoners mental condition was
taken into consideration, else the
sentence would have carried a 10
wear maximum penalty.
