Two Lectures-The Teachers Institute Slight
Change of Program


We are pleased to announce that School
Examiner Difenbaugh has arranged for two
platform entertainments of character sim
liar to those given under his management
last winter, at Central Hall schoolhouse, and
so much enjoyed by the audiences. The
first will be lecture on either "The Uses
of Uglness'' or "Love, Courtship and Mar
riage" by the prince of lecturers, John De-
Witt Miller, on Thursday evening, February
10th, and the I'd on Tuesday evening, Feb.
2Sth, a rendition of Shakespeare's mid
summer Nights Dream by Charles f. I'm
derhill, the renowned impersonator, who
rendered ''The Rivals" in last years course.
These entertainments will be given at Cen
trail Hall schoolhouse, and if they prove sue
cessful, others will follow.
A few changes in the program of the
Teachers Institute to be held on Thursday
and Friday of next week, have been made
necessary by the inability Of some of the in
structors to be present on Friday night.
The day sessions will be held at Central
Hall, beginning at $50 and 1:30 O'Clock, and
the night sessions at Odd Fellows Hall, be-
ginning at 730, as heretofore announced.

been deemed best to charge small fee for
admission to the night sessions. Reserved
