The Seniors are considering the question of pur- chasing needed pictures for the as- sembly room. A special orchestral program un- der the direction of Harry Masten has been provided. “The Rivals,” which finds its set- ting in Bath, England, first was pre- sented at Covent Garden in 17765. It was made famous in this country by Joseph Jefferson who, in 1896, with an all star cast toured the larger cities of the United States with such success that every performance had an average seat sale of $6,000. Dress Rehearsal Held. Dress rehearsal wag held last night and the piece was gone through in a manner highly satisfactory to Miss Graling, under whose direction the play is to be presented. Alfred Neuman, as Captain Abso- lute, also known as Ensign Berkly, has a splendid opportunity to dis- play his dramatic ability and the scenes between him and Sir Anthony Absolute (Louis Larson) are fiilled with genuine interest, both young men showing surprising ability at the rehearsals. Other Characters Amusing. William Russell, in the character of Acres, produces much humor by his epigramatic inventions. Delbert Ellitson is pleasing as Faulkland while Will McDonald as Sir Lucius is amusing. Farnom Watson as Fag shows keen wit, Fay Brenneman is a real coach- man and James Malone is at home as David and Fred Cutter will appear as “the boy,”” Lillian Cochran is sure to create lgughs in her role of Mrs. Malaprop who is strong in her_ mis- application of words. Beryl Neil as Lydia Languish displays varied talent | and Bess Cochran is. pleasing as Julia. Gertrude Malone is sweet in her simplicity and Martha Galchutt make the most of her part as a maid.

He touched lightly upon the doings of the recent legislature, calling atten- ilon to the fact that it did enact some good laws for northern Minnesota. Judge Stanton also said that too much credit cannot be given W. R Mackenzie of this city for the gocd work which he did for northern Min nesota while in St. Paul during the past .three months. “Although not accomplishing the one great des.ro and hope, re-apportionment, he has] done what few could- have accom- plished under the same conditions,” said Judge Stanton.

Masten’s eight piece or- chestra was one of the features of the evenfng. The male quartette, sang three Norwegian songs. Mrs. C. R. Sanborn played two violin solos. She was obliged to respond to an encore. Mrs. Sanborn played Ole Bull's “Et. Saeter Besog.” M. J. Brown, the young Bemidji attorney, gave a glimpse of Norweg- lap history, sketching Norway’s struggle up to the time she received independence. Mr. Brown spoke of Norway’s commercial advantages, told of its climate and of the wonder- ful midnight sun. A humorous reading in Norwegian dialect by John Buck of Crookston, caused hearty laughter. Rev. Dale of McIntosh, delivered the address of the evening, in Nor- ‘wegian, briefly telling of the history of Norway. He told of the Norweg- ians struggle in America and urged them to stand together in this coun- try, to fight for it, and to make them- selves citizens ‘of ‘which the nation may feel proud. He asked them to take more interest in the progress of the Nation, and told how the religion of the old country gave them the foundation for wanting liberty and their love for Freedom. The hall ;was prettily = decorated with American and Norway flags, and the stage was filled with evergreens, with an Amerleln'flflng ag the back- a -pro- -ground.

FINAL ACTION WITHIN 24 HOURS the Bush and If Board Doesn’t Act, T Will.” Found That Corporal Punishment Was Dead Letter In Reform Institu- tions of Oregon, St. Paul, May 18.—(Daily Ploneer Special Wire Service.)—Within 24 hours, possibly late this afternqon; Frank A. Whittier, superintendent of the Red Wing training school, will be removed summarily from the in- stitution by Governor Eberhart, un- less the Board of Control takes action on its own part. Before leaving St. Paul this morn- ing, to participate in the May festi- val on the campus at the state univer- sity, Governor Eberhart said: Governor’s Dander is Up. “I am heartily tired of this heutlng around the bush and if I cannot _nhp)l “attend. to th slone and T najd the authorit “Thé Board of Control knew What my wishes were and'I pro- peradion, 1 pose to see that Superintendent Whit=" tier is removed at once.” Governor Has the Authority. The law has been interpreted so as’ to prevent the Board of Control from discharging Mr. Whittier unless charges are brought against him and The gov- ernor, however, has it within ‘his Jjurisdiction to summarily remove of- ficials on any state institution. During the governor’s absence At- torney General George T. Simpson gave an opinion holding that the board of control cannot remove Mr. Whittier until formal charges have been filed with it, an investigation held and misconduct proved. This was given in answer to the govern- or’s letter to the board, calling for an inquiry looking to exoneration or re- moval of the official. Does Some Inspecting in West. “I took occasion while in the west,” said the governor, “to visit schools - similar to the Red Wing institution in other states, and to inquire espec- ially as to the use of corporal punish- ment. In Utah, I found, it had been abolished by legislative enactment. It is not used in Oregon by the man- agement of the school, which has yol- untarily substituted other methods of dicipline. Corporal punishment is still used in the school at Chehalis, ‘Wash.;“but I found much the same prejudice against it among the -people of Washington as we have here, and I think it will soon be a thing of the past.” Senator Lord in Bemidji.
