I t is a good thing to have a "warm place In the" affections of the people. Such a place does the Banda Rossa hold In Min neapolis. The tremendous audiences that have gathered to hear the Re d Band, at the International auditorium, since the weather has taken a notion to reform, are a sure indication of the interest and de - light that the people of Minneapolis have had In the fine programs presented by that organization. Many things have conspired to placfe the band in such high esteem. I t is composed of picked men , the cream of the Italian musicians. It s leader is one of the most thoroly equipped musicians of the day . H e is kind to his men, cour teous and obliging to the public, and a thoro disciplinarian. Many of his men have been with him fifteen years and they adore him . The public appreciate his worth and accepts the results with thankfulness and applause. Sorrentino is also a consummate master of instrumen tation. N o other arrangements of selec tions from the grand operas and other massive music works such as. fill the EDWARD TEDESCH1. Solo Clarinet, Banda Rossa. band's repertory begins to compare with those which he has made. Th e result is the finest presentations of such numbers, one of many facts which have earned for the band its present reputation. To-night the Banda Rossa is to present an entirely American program, embody ing the works of such well known band masters as Sousa and Herbert, such Composers as Nevin and such opera wri ters as I Koven and Stuard. While the program will not be so heavy and strictly classical as the tremendous Wagner pro gram given last night, it will be none the less interesting and many a familiar num ber will be played. One of the most in - teresting features of the evening's con cert will be the playing of Sorrentino's new march, "The American Spirit," writ ten in honor of his recent entrance into Uncle Sam's household. Now that Sorren tino is an American, the number will surely be admissible on an "American \Composers* Night" Th e vocalist this evening will be Miss Harriette Hiscock, who created such a favorable impression yesterday afternoon at the band's matinee program. Sh e will sing the "Cavatina" from the "Barber of Seville." To-morrow will witness the closing of the present engagement, and the evening concert wilt be in the nature of a "good by" to Sorrentino and his band. Th e Sunday evening program has been ar ranged with especial care to include many of the choicest things in the band's ex - tensive repertory, including also some of a distinctively religious character. A t the evening concert, too, Hazel Kirke Mc Llaskey will sing, and Maud TJlmer Jones will also be heard by special request.

Quartet from "Blgoletto" Verdi Selection, "American Republic," March Thiele Last Night's Wagner Program. Last night was indeed a gala night at the International Auditorium. The an nouncement that the program was to be devoted exclusively to the compositions of Richard Wagner served to bring out the largest audience of the engagement so far. The "Niebelungen March," an excerpt from the "Ring," proved to be somewhat uninteresting, and without the flashes of genius which so constantly appear in Wagner's works. I t was more than atoned for, however, by the tremendous "Tannhaeuser" overture, which fortu nately came early in the evening, while the listeners were yet fresh. The rendi tion of this number was superb and aroused a high pitch of enthusiasm. Following it came one of the brightest gems of the evening, "Walther's Traum- lled," from "Die Melstersinger." This was played as a trumpet solo by' Sig. Bot - tega, and it w as a revelation to many that the trumpet was capable of producing such expression and feeling. Sig. Bot - tega played "The Holy City" as an encore. The "L'oro del rene" number was a charming number and closed the first part of the program. The "Knights of the Holy Grail" march from "Parsifal." opened the second part. It is a wonderful bit of tone painting. It was warmly received. Sig. Barilotti played the "Evening Star" from "Tann haeuser" with fine effect and was encored. Much interest had been expressed in the appearan ce of Hazel Kirke McLaskey, who sang "Elizabeth's Prayer" from Tannhaeuser," and the young singer more than redeemed the promise of good things made for her. Sh e sings with ease, and her clear and pure lyric soprano was given a fine setting in the number she essayed. Miss McLaskey may not be without faults of both method and style, but the nervous ness of a first appearance undoubtedly contributed to make these more noticeable. She may need repose of manner and training, but it is equally evident that with the beautiful \olce, *both in quality and range that she possesses, she will with adequa te effort reach the goal of her am bition. The "Ride of the Valkyries" to which a realistic effect was added by the use of that barbaric instrument the tom-tom, closed the program. This is one of the greatest of the offerings of the Banda Rossa and it was played con amore. The numerous encores lightened the program for those not wedded to the Germ an cult, and to wh om the evening would have seemed too severe otherwise. Henrietta Boardman. HARRIETTE HISCOCK. One of the favorite young singers of Minneapolis is Miss Harriette Hiscock, who sang with the Banda Rossa at Its concert yesterday afternoon, at the Inte r national auditorium. Sh e sang an aria from the "Barber of Seville," which was so thoroly enjoyed that it will be repeated this evening. Miss Hiscock has a sweet but powerful coloratura soprano which has been heard in Minneapolis frequently during the last ye ar or two. She has wo n a distinct success in her appearances in concert both at home and in distant cities She has made many friends by her beautiful singing, who will be glad of the opportunity of hearing her at the audi torium, under circumstances commensur ate with her abilities. N ? yl 2 "It affords me great pleasure to be able to say a few words in regard to the merits of Dr. Fierce'* Favorite Prescription and his * Golden Medical Discovery,* writes Mrs. Flora am, of Dallas, Jackson Co., Mo, I was tempted to try these medicines after seeing the effect upon my mother. At an early stage of married life I was . bothered with painful peri ods, also a troublesome dram which rendered me very weak and unfit for work of any kind. I became so thin there was nothing left of me but skin and bone. My husband became alarmed and got me a bottle of ' Fa vorite Prescription.' After he saw the wonderful effects of that one he got me two more, and after I used those up there was no more pain, and I be gan to gain in flesh very rapidly."

This does not mean that Miss An derson is without ability. Indeed, quite the reverse is true she possesses ability of a marked type, and her playing indi cated this quite as fully as it did that she had been a hard, conscientious and pains taking student. Miss Anderson played from the works of three composers of distinctly opposite types, Chopin, Beethoven and Liszt. Cho pin's selections were played as th o the pianist loved his works, appreciated the intricacies of his moods, and their deli cacy or severity as the case might be. His trills, runs, roulades and arpeggios fall from her fingers with just the right delicacy and finish. Indeed, Miss Ander son's technical equipment along these lines is already quite unusual. Her enun ciation is clear and distinct, and her phrasing admirable. Th e opus 10, No . 3, was undoubtedly the best thing of the evening. In her Beethoven number,. the somewha.t - -T- Ask a ^^r^* healthy KV^CV^^* woman vJSKSx^s what she would !v\V\ Ny seu he r health (for and she would tell A \ you that the choicest - diamonds in the world infrequently played sonata In C.

General ill-health in women has its ori n in local womanly diseases. ore the diseases of the delicate womanly organism and the gen eral health is perfectly restored. The remarkable benefits ex perienced from the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription are due to this medicine's per fect cures of womanly diseases. It establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflam mation and ulceration and cures female weakness. U S 53 Mis accorded to the Chopin numbers. Th e Liszt transcription of Schubert's "Hark, Hark, the Lark," was delightfully played, but the Rhapsodle Hongroise No . 12 was apparently too powerful for one of Miss Anderson's somewhat delicate physique. To the listener it seemed as th o sheer will power and nerve force, altho accompanied by a keen intelligence, was accomplishing the rendition. Miss Anderson undoubted ly has great possibilities before her. Th e somewhat meagre audience, due doubtless to the strong counter attraction of a Wag ner night, was most appreciative. Maud Ulmer Jones sang a group of Eng lish songs with much less than her usual care and finish, her voice showing fatigue and tendency to a marked vibrato, and her phrasing was less punctilious than customary. The later number, Richard Strauss' "Serenade," was much better. A s an encore Mrs. Jon es sang "Where Four leaved Clovers Bloom." Howard Boardman. Through Cars to California.

""" * Maud TJlmer Jonea. Local Men EngagedIt May Be Necessary to Go Abroad - for Others. Rehearsals of the new Philharmonic or chestra will begin about Oct. 15. The lo cal men have nearly all been engaged and include Frank Danz, concert-meister, Messrs. Madden, Reidelsberger, Fischer, Hals, Wurtz and others. I t is necessary to go outside for a group of men and it is possible some of these may come from abroad. Emil Ober-Hoffer, conductor of the or chestra, returned yesterday from abroad where he has spent the summer absorb ing inspiration and getting ideas for the orchestra. H e came back full of appr e ciation and enthusiasm for America and sees no reason why any one should ex - pect or desire a better musical field than America. H e heard Met Mme. Schumann-Helnk. A t Munich Mr . and Mrs . Ober-Hoffer had a pleasant meeting with Mme. Schu mann-Heink, who introduced them to many leading musicians and invited them to her home in Dresden, but she was out of the city when they reached there. She told them that the kaiser had en - tirely released her from her engagement at the Berlin royal opera-house. Sh e was a popular idol at Munich and got her full meed of appreciation, but was, never theless, only a part of a beautiful ensem ble instead of a Jarring note. A Glorious Voice. Of Olive Fremstad Mr. Ober-Hoffer said: "Sh e has a simply glorious voice and in 'Tristan and Isolde' she is as potent as ever Nordica was. Sh e sings Brangaena. Her voice is not a contralto but a mezzo of very wide range and she - is coaching under Mr . Canried's instruc- [ tion for many of the soprano roles, among them "Sieglrnde." Sh e is not so strong dramatically as vocally, but her voice will carry her to success and I thi nk she will grow in dramatic power. I don't kn ow when she will appear at the symphony concerts I had wanted her for the open ing and suggested it to her, but heard from home that "Van Rooy had been en - gaged for that date and her appearance will have to be postponed, probably until spring." Mr. and Mrs. Ober-Hoffer could hardly believe the bad reports of Minnesota weather, arriving on a brilliantly clear day. They found a rainy season abroad, but even in good weather they sighed for Minnesota skies, which they consider unsurpassed. This being the case, they came home well contented.

I was a loyal American musician before I went abroad, but I never was so fully impressed by our tremendous resources and powers. Best Orchestras in World. "We have now the best orchestras in the world, but we are going to have many more. W e have now all of the advantage on our side, except conductors. Ou r men are better than theirs and they can afford better instruments, and America will give them stronger financial support. I was accustomed, of course, to the practice of having symphony concerts in beer gar dens to the accompaniment of drinking, but this summer it struck me as particu larly repulsive and a degredation of such lofty music. I t is one of our American advantages that we take our music more seriously." In Munich Mr. Ober-Hoffer heard Herr Zumpe conduct the music for the King cycle and met him . H e /rated him as the equal of any of the great Germ an con ductors and was greatly shocked to he ar the news of his death, on his landing m America. Among the interesting items of musical intelligence brought by Mr. Ober-Hoffer is that Joseph Baernstein and Sa ra An derson have entered into a year's engage ment in grand opera at Elberfield where they will sing the big roles in this wealthy city in which music is given a fine sup port. Next Wednesday evening the Apollo club will celebrate its ninth birthday at the club rooms on the fourth floor of the Lyce um theat er building. The rehearsals began last Monday evening, and the at tendance was an inspiration to those old members who have been with the organi zation since its inception. The opening meeting was attended by the largest crowd ever present on such an occasion of the club's.

BUYS FIVE BLOCKS Great Western Acquires Land for Terminals in the Very Heart of Omaha. Deal Had Been Under Way for a Year$250,000 Paid for Properties. Speoial to The Journal. Omaha, Neb. , Sept, 19.The biggest land deal in the history of local railroad purchases was consummat ed yesterday, when five blocks in a thickly populated part of the city were transferred to the Great Western Railroad company. The property is^between Fifteenth and Nineteenth streeW on Leavenworth. I t extends to the tracks of the Union Pa cific and the Burlington roads, little more than a block. The occupants of ninety dwellings on the property have been notified to vacate. This works a great hardship on many, because vacant houses in the city are few. The Great Western purchased the land by lots in the names of unknown individuals and the deals had been under way for more than a year. I t was not even guessed at when the people who lease the dwellings were denied a renewal of thes privilege at the expiration of their leases. Th e price paid for the ground was $250,000. The acquisition of this section was a great coup for the road, as it brings the terminal and freight yards right into the heart of the citynearer than any other road in factand makes perfect its fa - cilities for handling freight and pas sengers. The wo rk of demolishing the structures on the land will be com menced at once. DOCTOR It's a matter of general interest just now how one's physical condition can be got into shape to best receive the benefits of the summer season. Especially is this true of the children. They have become run down by a winter of unnatural man ner of living because of ill-considered food and much time spent indoors. Spring comes with its sunshine, its fresh vege tables and all else invigorating, but the children are In no condition to receive na ture's remedies. Many parents call in the family phy sician. Many other paren ts take advan tage of what the physician told them wh en he was first called in consultation. All good family physicians say: "Give the children Castoria." Healthy paren ts know this remedy of old, for they took it them selves as children. I t was more than thir t y years ago that Castoria made a place for itself in the household. I t bore the signature of Charles H . Fletcher then, as it does to-day. Th e signature is its gua r antee, which is accepted in thousands of homes where there are children. Much is printed nowadays about big families. Dr . William I. McCann of Oma ha, Neb. , is the father of one of these much-read-about families. Here is what he says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy* in almost every home." Charles H . Fletcher has received hun dreds of letters from prominent physicians who have the same esteem for Castoria that Dr. McCann has . Not only do these physicians say they use Castoria in their own families but they prescribe it for their clients. First of all it is a vege table preparation which assimilates the food and regulates the stomach and bo w els. After eating comes sleeping, and Cas toria looks out for that, too. I t allays feverlshness and prevents loss of sleep, and this absolutely without the use of opium, morphine or other baneful nar cotic. Medical journals are reluctant to discuss proprietary medicines. Hall's Journal of Health, however, says: "Ou r du ty is to expose danger and record the means for advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end . T o our *knowl edge Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health by regulating the system, not by stupefying it, and our readers are entitled to' the information."

Heavy and muddy condition of the country wagon roads has caused a de crease of at least 30 per cent in freight traffic. The farmers cannot get to town with their merchandise and the country merchant, having lost his customers, has curtailed shipments from the cities. So far there have been few heavy shipments of grain and the sidings are full of empties waiting for the results of the delayed threshing. Local jobbing houses are affected by the wet season. Several firms have received letters canceling or cutting down orders, and in cases the letters contain news that shipments are being returned because there is no market for the goods, so that the retail men are afraid to load up .
