MUSIC AT STATE FAIR Three Great Bands Will Give Popular Concerts During the Exposition, One of the most popular diversions the state fair will, during the week of September 8, have to offer the people ol rural Indiana will be programs by three large concert bands, People from the farms and smaller towns ! seldom have opportunity tg hear ■ bands of such magnitude as the £air offers, and this is the chief reason i that music is made ope of the dominating features of the Indiana exposition, while people from the larger . towns and cities, like those from the : country, never tire of this kind of music. Ihe John C. Weber band, of i Cincinnati, the Indianapolis Military band, each composed of forty trained musicians, and the Indianapolis News Newsboys’ band of fifty boys, will be [ heard every day of the fair in pro i grams of popular, wholesome music. The Weber baml was not at the fair last* year, but has been re-engaged because of numerous requests made by regular visitors who. by comparing it with other famous bands, have

given the Weber organization o f forty men first place in popularity. This band will appear at the fair in its old-time strength of numbers and talent and will bring a number of eminent instrumental soloists. The Weber band has a new singer this year—Miss Wilmine Hammann, soprano, who is expected to win much favor from

JOH.V C. WIBIR

those who hear her in the state fair coliseum each afternoon and evening. ! She has a magnificent voice, with the - wide shouldered German opera singer's physique to support her vocal powers, and she is especially famous as a ballad singer. The Indianapolis Military Band, the oldest band organization in the state, directed by H. W. Klausmann, will celebrate its silver jubilee at the Indi-

ana fair, where it first played 25 years ago, and ! where it has an unbroken record ! for this period. It began its state I fair career with a dozen men, the number being increased each year, and at the coming fair it will have ' forty men—the best musicians of Indiana. Mr. Klausmann Is mak ing extraordinarypreparations for . the state fair in celebration of the silver jubilee engagement there.

; It will play in the coliseum each morning and at the grandstand each afternoon. Miss Anna Woodward, of Chicago, a soprano soloist who was applauded by thousands of patrons last year, will sing with the band again. The Newsboys’ Band, which has been heard by more Indiana people

than any band that was eVer organized in this state, will, as usual spend the entire week at the fair, giving I morning andl afternoon concerts near the adminis- | tration' building. ; The band was ' founded years age ‘ by the Indian- ! apolis News and its conductor from the beginning has been J. B. Vandaworker, doubtless the foremost trainer of juvenile bands in America

FS 1 J. B. Vandawofki.r

The band now has over fifty members This will be the band's 13th year at the state fair.—Adv.

FROM PLUMBER TO GRANO OPERA Marion Man Jumped Into Musical Game and Meets With Great Success. IS SECOND HARROLD ' Evansville Wrought Up Because They Are Paying Much for Pavement. Marion. Ind., Aug- 7—(Special to Daily Democrat) From plumber to grand opera star'.’ Can M. I). Dillon,! a master plumber of this city with a i tenor voice that has received high praise, develop into a second Orville Harrold? Recalling that Harrold wan onetime a grocer's deliveryman in, Muncie, Dillon's friends and Dillon himself believe th*' plumber can sue-, eeed in the musical art. That Dillon has a tenor exceptional is thi' verdict ol more than one good critic. A French grand opera star playing in Chicago once heard the young plumber and told him: “You 1 have one of the best tenor voices 1 have ever heard.” -I When Dillon is reminded that he might be earning a big salary in opera instead of doing plumbing work, fie is compelled to reply that it takes money to cultivate one’s voice under a master teacher. And he has not got the money. However, he lias been studying a little in the last few years and is today saving to go to New York to study under one of tlte world's i greatest teachers. Evansville, Ind.. Aug. 7. —(Special to Daily Democrat.) —Considerable feeling has been aroused locally by! tlte publication of proof that Evansville is paying 25 per cent more for; asphalt paving Ilian near-by pities. Popular resentment was Increased by the charges that Henry W. Marshall's company got the fat contracts her*.. Marshal!, a power in the local Public . Ctilitism Company, treated the city council to a wise supper and quite < ften treats the l>oard of works to suppers and wine. Marshall's price is SI.9G per square yard, Louisville got the same paving for $1.40 a square yard. Milwaukee, under a Socialist administration pu', down its own paving at $1.20 a square yard. NON-PARTISAN POLITICS.
