VAN DEN BERG IS A GENIUS

Work of Artist Was Devoid of Dramatic Action Cambridge City - '-- Contingent Was Late. . Last evening at the Coliseum the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Brahm Van Den Berg, one of the greatest pianists of the country, completely captivated an audience of. nearly 3,000 people, ' who for ' two hours reveled in a feast of music, The concert was, the musical event of the season in this city and the great audience showed its appreciation of the program by enthusiastically applauding every number offered.-Conductor. Van cler Stticken was greatly pleased at the , attitude shown by his audience and Ayas generous ' in responding to- ellcores. 'v.The building was well 'filled. The-

ground floor was completely filled, as was the balcony, Over . half . the seats, in the gallery were occupied. The large contingent -from Cambridge City did not arrive until the concert was half over, owing to the fact that its two special interurban cars were delayed in some unexplainable manner. They were supposed to have left Cambridge City at 6 V clock but the ears were delayed until 8 o'clock. - i kThe Cincinnati Symphony orches-; ra is one of the largest and best musical organizations that has ever ap- -peared before a Richmond public and everyone who .attended the con-! cert was enthusiastic over its rendi-f tion of the difficult Bach and Schumann program. ; . Brahm Van Den Berg is-a finished pianist and his numbers last "evening were warmly received! His playing is easy and rgra.ee ful and devoid of dramatic actions. His touch is wonderful.

WORK TO CLOSE IN SHORT TIME COUNTY SCHOOLS WILL END THEIR WORK IN .TWO MORE WEEKS. COUNTRY PEOPLE ARE LOSERS They Pay Tor Schooling for Children in Other Counties How This Happens. -The schools throughout the county with the 'exception 6t. those in Wayne township and .llichintondwili close wititf the next two weeks, af ter-'a little; less than seven months of teaching being given to , the pupils. 'In the; city, . between eight anil" nine months are required to finish one year's work,' :but - in the district schools, the teachers are only employed f orv the seven months, often ? less. If the country people in Wayne county chose to take the matter up, there would be room for a discussion in regard to the fairness in this transaction. ' , - - In Wayne County each year,- $20,913.97 is the amount collected each year for the general school fund of the' state. The county pays about half of this. When the enrollment lists are completed, , they are sent in to the state officials, and a per capita of' $1.44 is sent to the ( county for each pupil. There are so few children in the. county, that each year; there is a large amount of the tax which is collected here that goes to some of thjejxorer counties, , This year, figures""show that' $0,532.70 remains of the school tax collected, .in this county. " The amount goes to other counties, while hereonlylven' months of schooling is given id the pupils. Enough "money was collected through tax to keep the country schools running all year. 'v The trouble is not with the officials but rather a sort of race suicideniat is being indulged in by the people t Wayne county. In some parts cit the state, there is not enough tax' col lected to admit of the per capita of $1.44 for each pupil and the. amount is made up from other counties, such as Wayne.

IS TALK OF SHELVING HIM

It is . Reported that Henry U. Johnson Will be, Asked to Run by The Democrats. There is a report current that the Rev. T. II. Kuhn is to be shelved by the Democrats of this district and in his place a straight forward Eemocrat, who has never strayed from the narrow JefTersonian path is ' to be brought out in his stead. It is hinted that the first move will be on the part of the Wayne county Democrats who some say, will not : endorse Dr. Kuhn,? r ., v He was asked , last evening if he intended to withdraw in casehis candidacy was not endorsed by - the county Democrats. I. don't intend to ansvver all the statements published in the papers" he replied. ."J. am not responsible for the utterances of the newspapers. ',' " .When, pressed 'f;or an answer regarding his withdrawal, he . stated, in no good humor, that he had positively nothing to say on that question. " It is probable that the Democratic : district convention will be held be- . fore the county, convention Jbyit . that meeting promises to be as ' warm, as the one which will be held iii Richmond. There are many Demqcrnts in . t the district who object . i,6 Dr. Kujin ' ; because he has wandered J from the -straight and . narrow - pemoratic " path.
