The Greatest Violinist Since, The Days of Paganini and Ole Bull, WITH HIS PRICELESS VIOLIN -Will be one of the many star atrac- tions to be heard here for the Chautauqua Program. One of the greatest artists of the day. One of the most important of the numerous musical events of the splen- | did Chautauqua program is the ap- pearance of Theobaldi, the Norwegian great violinists of the present day, and | his playing recalls vividly the magic | spell which spread over the audiences | of Ole Bull, of whom, by the way, | Theobaldi was a protegee. There is something grand and inspiring about the great Norseman’s concerts and one is impressed with the power of the man and the passion of his art. His tones, now soft and low, then ris- ing with swift cadence to the heroic measures of his selection, carry his! hearers in perfect sympathy on and to the end; before the hearty applause which always greets this performer there is that moment of quiet which in itself identifies the true artist. There has never been such an inter. preter of Norse music as is Theo- baldi and not such an artist since Paganini and Ole Bull. Theobaldi’s methods are very sim- ilar to those of Ole Bull and Paganini. plays with the same dash and bril- lic at large for, like Ole Bull and Pag- anini, his programs are so arranged as to present selections which dis-| play his marvelous technic, but at the }same time present that which is ap-/ preciated by those in his audience who | do not have a technical understanding of music. As did Ole Bull and Pag- !anini, he plays to the public without | | violating the canons of good taste. ; The fame of Ole Bull and Paganini; | having been established with the pub- | lic at large, will go down in history. |The same thing is true of Theobald. | He glorifies the viol'n in the eyes of | want strong opinion, the masses. | The Reward of Genius. The youth who is trying to fan into | life the dormant fires of an,inherent | | genius will find much to encourage | him if he will but emulate the example | set for him by Theobaldi, the wonder- ful Norwegian violinist now touring | this country and who is billed to ap-j pear here during the Chautauqua. | The mother of Theobaldi was an accompanist for the world-renowned | master of the violin, Ole Bull, during | the latter years of his life and her) fondest dream was that her little boy, then studying under an able instructor, might one day possess the power to sway human hearts with his playing as the great virtuoso had done. Both | mother and son were: brought | close touch with the nobility of Nor-| way and through this influence, aided | by excellent instruction, the mother | was delighted to see the boy’s genius | developing from the bud into the ex- panding flower. Brought before Ole Bull that he might judge of the boy’s talent and progress, the veteran musician was as:-| tounded at the boy’s aptitude and ex- claimed: “This boy will become my successor.” The prophecy has been fulfilled. Naturally both Theobaldi and his mother were greatly pleased and encouraged by the favorable criti-| cism of the old master and, with a common purpose in view, both strove harder than ever thereafter to bring the youthful genius to the highest! into} ; and enthusiastic crowds. Our prog-:>m | entertainment, Chautauqua a The Indian word “Chautauqua”} | means “Where the child was carried| away.” Every man and woman after the year’s attention to business and! duties needs to be carried ‘away from all of this for a few days. The Chau! tauqua takes them out of the humdrum and hard grind of daily toil. A man! who does nothing but his work soon does not do that well. He needs rest | Tecreation, entertainment, enlighten | ment and inspiration, to keep up tc! his best self. He needs to be “carried away” by the Chautauqua, Get a Season Ticket / It takes people to make a big Chau tauqua.

C., July 18,—By a his colleagues balloting as judges, stripped William Lorimer of his United States Senator’s toga this afternoon. The verdict of acquittal obtained March 1, 1911, by six votes, was re- versed to-day by a majority of twen- ty-seven.

Th e vote was 53 to 28 for the adop- tion of the Lea resolution. This reads: ~ “Resolved, That corrupt methods fand practices were employed in the election of William Lorimer to the | Senate of the United States from the state of Illinois, and that his election was, therefore, invalid.”’ While making his last plea for sym- pathy and support, Lorimer used Senator Clapp’s desk on the back row, adjoining the middle aisle. When he had concluded he left this central place and = slowly walked around the rear of the chamber and jsat down at his own desk near the jleft end of the semi-circular row. Our New § State Capitol.

One after another the rounds of Fame’s ladder were ecaled by the ambitious boy, patient, tireless, ever persevering, until the great music lovers of the world were bending the knee to his marvelous genius and were proclaiming him King of the Violin. His own country made him Court Musician, while the royal heads of Russia, England, Germany and Italy conferred honors and decorations upon him almost without stint when once they had heard his humanized violin speak to them through its soulful they had heard his humanized violin cadences. Sixty-two gold medals and eourt decorations have been bestowed upon him. A PRICELESS VIOLIN. The violin used by Theobaldi, the Norwegian virtuoso, who will appear during the Chautauqua, is valued at the enormous sum of twenty-five thou- sand dollars for which sum it is in- sured. Juet where the great value of the instrument lies only the expert can explain, but of course it has to do with its superiority of tone. This truly wonderful violin was made nearly four hundred years ago by Caspar De Salo, whose instruments are even more rare than those of Guarneri or Stradivarius. This violin was a favorite inetrument of Ole Bull who made frequent use of it in his concerts, and at his death it came | into the possession of Theobaldi whom Ole Bull proclaimed as his successor. Aside from its tone qualities, the vio lin would be priceless for the cherub faces which adorn its head are the [fers for this architectural picture. | Here is a landscape with the natural tones of dignity and grandeur. There is an elementary largeness in it. The Missouri river sweeps by ‘‘in scep- tred majesty.’’ Time, the leisurely artist, piled up the hills on the Jeffer- son City side calmly, imposingly. On the other side are the brown bluffs of Callaway, chiseled by the ages. The view, a wonderful vista of green overlaid in blue, or in winter pitched in’ white and gray, makes a setting that challenges the architect’s art. The designjng of this building calls for more than skill of craftsmanship; if the best is to be realized the build- ing must line up to the landscape. The pride and energy of good, pro- gressive citizenship combined with nature in charging the architect to his best endeavor. Jefferson City has been made into a capitolian home. There is a town where the thrift of to-day embellishes yesterday’s tradi- tions. The atmosphere of old times is here; a gentleness of manner; a real Missouri bearing as befits the witness and intimate associate of so much of the state’s history. _ There, too, is the alertness of civic ambition —the well-paved, well-lighted, well- cared-for street; the homes of beauty; the country club; the sustained policy of improvement.

Mount Carmel, Ill., July 13.—Otis Travis, a farmer, residing near Fair- bury, is building a barn which is said to be a novelty in the way of con- struction. It is circular in shape, 50 feet in diameter, 10 feet to the eaves and 30 feet high in the centre. There is room for fifty-one head of stock in the barn and the box stalls are arranged on the outside. be bent. The arrangement for feed- ing is most convenient, as the heads of the stalls face the silo in which the | feed will be stored. The silo is built of 2x4 timbers with | the sheeting and the interior lathed | and plastered. An opening on one! side admits the wagon with silage, and machinery will be installed for} cutting it up. This machine has a blower which |t blows the silage into the top of the silo.
