NormalLecture Course


Now that the lecture course has been
successfully terminated the committee
wish to express their appreciation of
the confidence shown the management
by general acquieseence in the many
changes necessitated since your first
support was asked and our season tick
cts sold.
As then announced we had entered
into a bona fide contract with III. l..
Slayton of Chicago for the entire
course of five entertainments but
about the time our first number was
delivered there began to be difficulty
in communicating with him. BY
means of kilograms and registered let
tiers we finally succeeded in getting
very unsatisfactory replies from which
it was CLEANED that the second num-
Der of our course could be given Mar.
I'd, a third number the last of March,
while for John De Witt Miller and the
Jubilee Singers no dates could be OBJ
tanned.
This information compelled us to
entirely break with Mr.. Slayton and
as the course had already been opened
by Mr.. Mills we thought best to rely
upon the continued support of our pa
irons in substituting talent of equal
cost to us. Mr.. Slayton has not con.
sidered his failure to fulfill the origin
al contract of sufficient Importance to
require an explanation.
Henry George is man to whom but
for the opportune application of a
member of this committee the people
of River Falls could never perhaps
have had chance to listen. The
largeness of the man in his general
reputation throughout the country is
our only apology for the introduction
of a second economic lecture into our
course when but one had been origin
ally contemplated.
As we were wholly unable to obtain
a musical number through any bureau
we decided to give you one in which
on account of part acquaintance you
could not be deceived. We believe
you enjoyed the Sappho Quartette.
Mr.. Ambrose was substituted for
John De Witt Miller, his subject was
in the same line as the promised
Three Thirds Of a Man." His rates
are the same and his standing equally
good with lyceum bureaus and lecture
going people. If you found it little
tiresome to laugh for one and one half
hours let us suggest that the Sham
Family contained an abundance of
food for thought and was a practical
hit at many of the shams and foibles
of which we are all more or less guilty.
The Land of the Midnight Sun"
seemed to us fitting substitute for
Miss Krarers Life in the Frozen
North" and the full house which
greeted Mr.. Bolton on his second night
is evidence to the committee that the
Realistic Lectures" were not mis-
take on our part. Again we thank
you for your support and confidence.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi'
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agen-
cy whereby the good health has been
attained is gratefully blessed. Hence
it is that so much is heard in praise of
Electric Bitters. So many feel they
owe their restoration to health to the
use of the Great Alternative and Tonic.
If you are troubled with any disease
of the kidneys, liver or stomach, of
long or short standing, you will surely
find relief by use of Electric Bitters.
