A GREAT TREAT.
A Large Audience Enjoys Southwick's
Richard iii. at Normal Hall.

Lovers of Shapespeare received 6
rare treat in last nights entertainment
given by Mr.. Henry Lawrence South
wick in his reading and Interpretation
of the play of Richard III.
In his Introductory remarks Presi,
dent Cooper expressed his pleasure that
the students of the normal and the
high school had united for such a de.
lightful occasion.
Mr.. Southwick prefaced his reading
by brief reference to the literary
iconoclasts of the present day. These
unromantic and unimaginative critics
would denounce as false the cherished
tales of Washington Ratchet and the
apple of William Tell. In like manner
they would dispose of that time hon
ored and wholesome arch villain,
Shakespeare Richard. Mr.. South
wick, however, assured his audience
that these iconoclastic views need not
interfere with the enjoyment of the
Richard of literature. This play
while showing Shakespeare younger
hand, inspires admiration by its
boldness and forcefulness. 1t is a
play whose chief interest is centered
in the single character in whom there
is no good and who though a self
confessed villain could entirely domi
nate the men and fascinate the women
of the English court.
Mr.. Southwick's Interpretation is
most excellent and the portrayal of the
various characters, especially that of
the infamous Richard, is beyond. criti-
cism. For two hours Mr.. Southwick
held the closest attention of the large
audience which showed its apprecia-
tion of this" artists worksby continued
applause at the close of the acts.
To those who have been instrument
tai. in bringing Mr.. Southwick to
Mankato is due s.the-earnes gratitude
of all who were so fortunate as to hear
last nights artistic Interpretation of
Shakespeare's most tragic production.
1t is to be hoped that Mankato audi
ences may again enjoy similar enter
tainments by Mr.. Southwick.
Normal hall was beautifully decor
ated with autumn leaves. There are
few halls in the state that can equal
this one in point of beauty.
= After the entertainment very in
formal reception was given Mr.. South
wick at.the home. of President Cooper.
Only the personal friends of Mr.. South
wick together with others especially
interested were present. = =.
Mr.. ..Southwick will give Shakes
pearean readings in both st. Paul and
Minneapolis the latter part of this
week.

CUSHING IS COMING.
The Cushing Standard Lectures Soon to
be Heard at Mankato Theatre.

All lovers of elevated thought,
brilliant rhetoric and fascinating elo-
quence, will be pleased to learn that
they will soon be given an opportunity
OF hearing him who has by many
been considered the chief among the
great orators of our time. On We'd
nesday evening, October 10Th, Eugene
B. Cushing, who is now in the ORR
ent will lecture in Mankato theatre,
upon the subject of the "PhiIip-
pines.
Mr.. Cushings' pre-eminence as an
orator is acknowledged by all who
have sat under the spell of his match
less eloquence.
A most striking factor in producing
the remarkable effects noticeable in
his audience is the wonderful new
natural color photography. Color pho
Biography direct from nature, without
the slightest aid from the painter
brush, has long been the dream of art
ist and photographer alike and is now
an accomplished fact. This will be a
revelation to the general public and
one of the genuine treats of the sea-
son. These pictures will take rank
among the notable achievements of the
new century.
The subject that he has selected for
this occasion, will give ample scope
for all his varied powers. Mr.. Cush-
ing is pre-eminently an original
thinker, he does not follow in his
thoughts the course mapped out by
others, but his original conceptions al
ways predominant. whether the mat
ter of his discourse be considered
or his manner of presenting it.
Mankato theatre has large capacity,
but it probably will be taxed to its
utmost on this occasion, as wherever
the Cushing Standard lectures appear,
has audiences are limited only by the
size of the halls.

ANTI-TAMMANY FORCES SPLIT.

ANTI-TAMMANY FORCES SPLIT.
The -Tammany forces in New
York city are reported as having split
and the Democratic element opposed to
Tammany will not accept Seth Low
as candidate. In fact it seems that
they have concluded not to accept
anyone who is not Democrat, and
movement for third ticket is said
to be on foot to name an independent
Democrat. This means in all proba-
bility that the anti-Tammany move
ment will fail and that corrupt Or
ganization will again win, though
the jealousy of leaders may possibly
not prevent the triumph of the people,
as Mr.. Low will doubtless prove a
most formidable candidate, and as it
must be either him or Tammany,
doubtless hundreds of Democrats who
are heartily tired of that corrupt or
ganization's domination will turn to
Low for relief 1t has been supposed
all along that Mr.. Low would be &C
ceptable to the anti Tammany Demo
Gratis, as they have given no intima-
ton otherwise, and named no man
that in anyway approached Lows
strength as vote getter, or as a prob
able administrator over the city and
he was almost the unanimous choice
of the committee representing the
different elements, which was selected
to choose a candidate. 1t is to be
hoped that some understanding may
yet be reached by which all elements
may yet support Low.

Minnesota received an average score
of 81 for its September butter at the
Pan-American exposition. and it is
said that if it does as we'll accord
ingly at the October scoring the state
will carry off the prize for the best
average scoring at the exposition for
the entire season. When the distance at
which the butter must be shipped is
considered, this would indeed be re-
markable victory and would give Min
nesota dairy interests great impetus,
for it would advertise to the world
that we make the best butter in the
Union. 1t will demonstrate the fact
that all the work which has been done
by the state to push forward the great
dairy industry has not been in vain,
and if the prize is won it ought to be
the cause for still harder work for adj
vancement. Much has already been
done, yet much more remains to be
done, and can be accomplished if
rightly undertaken.
In the report of the scoring at
Buffalo for September, we notice that
Blue Earth co unity is not represented.
This county carried off the prize for
the best average scoring at the state
fair, and it seems as though it could
have stood equally as high at Buffalo.
We hope to see it represented in the
October exhibit. Of those in this i'm
mediate vicinity represented we note
that John c. Joslin of the Nicoll e
creamery received 1926, and L. E.
Fox, Alma City, "a. The highest
score was 81.

Czolgosz' father, brother and sister
had an interview with him yesterday
of some forty minutes, but it amount
ed to nothing in SO far as it was hoped
that they might be able to induce him
to talk to them of the crime and tell
them who helped him plan it. He
talked more with them than he has
talked with the officers on former &C.
casions, but on the whole was not very
communicative, and nothing was
learned at the interview that was not
known before. Unless he breaks down
shortly after the sentence is pro-
nounced it is not likely anything will
ever be learned from him in relation
to the crime that is not now known.
