Bird. The animal, a valuable one,
is a dapple grey mare, 5 years old,

the loss. The Devils Lake police
and the sheriff of the county were
notified of the theft the next morn
ing and a description of the ami
NAL was t~elegraphed in all direc-
tions, but at this writing no relia-
bic clue of the thief has been dis
covered. although it it is said that
two men we're seen driving a horse
near York that answered the de-
scription of the one stolen. Nc
one seems to have any suspicion
as to whom the thief may be. The
harness taken was a single one and
the wagon a Columbus end spring

The Lecturers Blunder.

One of the institutions of New York
that are praised by all the public with
out reserve is the course Of free lee
lures in the public schools. These lee
lures are given before splendid audi
ences and, as a rule. by persons Of
veracity and intelligence. Occasion
ally. however, in order to get a lecture
on q rare subject great risks are run.
Recently a lecture was given by a
person who had been on an excursion
to the North cape. Among other won
derful things he saw there was the
eclipse Of the sun. He gasped for
breath as he told Of the weirdly grand
sight He told Of the streamers Of fire
that blazed from the obscured orb to
all quarters Of the heavens. But his
frenzy carried him too far for a public
school audience. for he declared that
among the stars made visible In the
midst Of day he saw the planets cir
cling In their courses. He even called
the planets that he saw by name, but
he made q fatal mistake. He said he
saw Neptune.
This statement called for q round of
sarcastic applause that he mistook for
commentator. for he smiled in a hap
py way as it echoed through the halls.
Evidently he did not know that Nep-
tune is invisible except with the most
powerful telescope.-New York Mall

"Away down Souf'' with Wilbur Hill
and Miss Whitaker, for FIVE days, July
9th to 14th. To see and hear these de-
lightful people is worth a long journey
MI. Hill play plays the banjo as that
instrument is seldom played. They at
once captivate their hearers and prove
themselves worthy of all the good
things said of them. There will be no
feature Of the assembly more pleasing
than the series of entertainments Civ
en- by MI. Hill and Miss Whitaker.
One of the biggest hits vet made in
this city was made by Hill and Whit
aker at the Grand this week. Their
act is out of the ordinary run and
while highly artistic unsteady and of
great interest to musicians, it pleases
the ordinary mortal. The beauty Of
Miss Whitaker impresses the be-
holder and she is made the favorite of
the whole show Immediately. The
skill of the twain in playing the banjo
Ia remarkable and the instrument in
their hands loses its negro strumming
character and assumes the tone and
beautyof the cello. Miss Whitaker sings
COO songs and old melodies to perfec-
ton. Her voice is much better than
May Twins and her stage presence is
much more pleasing.-N. Y. Journal.
