Gets a Rather Distorted Report About Cyclone Victims.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean spoke very highly of Miss Ilda Schnee on the occasion of the Mareschalchi-Verdf memorial concert at Handel Hall, Chicago,' last, year. It said: “Her voice is unusual in range, of lovely quality and considerable power. Moreover Miss Schnee is extrem,ely musical, most prepossessing in appearance and has a striking individuality. She displayed a natural taste in delivery as well as a great proficiency in vocal art.” On the occasion of her singing with the Ballman Orchestra, the Chicago Journal writes: “Miss Schnee has a rich

and well-trained voice. The young artist made an extremely pleasing impressioh, and we expect her to make a phenominal success in her line of art.” Those who have heard Miss Schnee say that these statements, far from being overdrawn, scarcely dp justice to the rich and pleasing qualities of her voice, and to the deep sympathetic feeling with which she invests her songs. Miss Schnee will appear in a song recital at Rensselaer on May 2, and without a doubt it will be a rare bit of good fortune to hear this gifted singer. '• ;

Mrs. Dennis Healy, who was formerly known here as Miss Minnie Macus, was one of the victims of the cyclone which swept through parts of this state last Sunday night. As a result she is badly injured, and the report is that she sustained a fracture of the hip and several ribs. The unfortunate women is now under the care of a trained nurse and a physician, who say she will recover. Mrs. IJealy and husband occupied a farm near Parr, which is in Jasper county. Mrs. Healy was blown for pome distance and Mr. Healy was burud in the ruins of the house, but tbe latter’s injuries were slight compared to those received by his wife.—Valparaiso Vidette.

Miss ILDA SCHNEE Miss Schnee will be heard in a Song Recital, at the Christian Church, Thursday evening, May 2.
