That of the Augustana College Lyceum for
the season of -9S and 49,

! That of the Augustana College Lyceum FOL
the Season of '9S and 3d.
Owing to the brilliant success OF
| the Lyceum course of entertainments
given last year at Augustana college
chapel, and encouraged by the patron
age of the general public of Rock ISL
and and Moline, the Lyceum has de-
cided to give another course this year
which promises to excel the course OF
last year in many particulars.
Five entertainments will be given
as follows:
l. The Boston Ladies' Symphony
orchestra, Wednesday, Nov. 9.
?. Samuel Phelps Leland, Phi. D.,
LID, of Chicago, Thursday, Dec. 1.
s. DIR. Eugene May, of Washing
ton, Wednesday. Dec. IA.
4. The famous Schubert Glee club,
of Chicago, Thursday. Jan. II.
5. DR.. A. A. Willis, Wednesday,
Feb. %.
The Ladies' symphony orchestra is
composed of twenty of the leading in
strumentalists of Boston and vicinity.
under the efficient dictatorship OF
Frank W. Mckee.
The repertoire of this famous or
ganization is practically unlimited and
includes the best works of the great
est masters. as swell as selections of a
lighter and more popular character.
The organization is accompanied by
the renowned soprano, Virginia Knight
Logan.
This is the only entertainment in
the course which will be repeated from
last year. This is done because of the
universal satisfaction with the con-
cert given last year.
DIR. Samuel Phelps Leland, of Chi
cago, is very widely known. Gifted
with a mastery command of language
and aided by magnificent presence,
DIR. Leland, by the right of merit,
stands among the foremost lecturers
upon the American platform. His
lectures are interluded with bursts of
eloquence, humor and pathos. A
more popular lecturer could hardly be
placed before the public.
DR.. Eugene May is so we'll known
to the American public as an orator
and lecturer of the first order that he
scarcely needs an introduction.
The Schubert Glee club is organ
lied out of the old Schubert quartet
with the addition of the eminent So
prano and pianist, Catherine Taylor,
together with the popular reader and
impersonator, G. Edmund Neil.
The Schubert Glee club is undoubt-
eddy one of the very best organizations
of the kind in the country. Four
acknowledgements have been given, and
wherever they have appeared they
have completely captured the ay'i-
ence.
The last entertainment in the course
will be lecture by the "Apostle of
Sunshine, " DIR. A. a. Willis, of New
Jersey.
DR.. Willis stands alone as the sue
cessful lecturer of two generations.
When Beecher, Phillips and Cough
were on the platform, the name of
DR.. Willis was common in the same
connection, and no list of the success
full lecturers of this day is complete
without this advocate of good cheer.
Although the doctor has been lee
turing for nearly 40 years, he is still
in full strength. He is as young in
spirit, and as vigorous in thought and
action as he has ever been.

now on the sale at the Harper house
drug store in Rock Island, and at Jo-
sephson's jewelry store, Moline.
