Next Winters Lecture Course fSr
Missouri Valley.

The best talent ever prescn-
ted to the public is now arran-
ged for. This we believe will
be your own opinion when you
read the following list:
Leland Powers, the we'll
known impersonater of dramat-
ic literature leads the list. At
Cherokee, Iowa, last winter ev-
cry bit of standing room was
sold as we'll as all the seating
accommodation of the large opera
house.
Gen. z. 7. Sweeney, author
and diplomat, has also been Sc
cured. He is the author of Gun
der 10 flags" which has had a
large sale.
Prof. j. S. Blockie, of Edin-
burgh, Scotland, says: 81 regard
the Earl of Rosebcrry as the
greatest orator in the world, UNI
less it be Gen. Sweeny an Am
erican torrent of eloquence."
The Temple Quartet of Bos-
ton is another of the attractions.
In character, reliability and ge-
neral excellenc, they are unex-
celled. They have with them,
Miss Victoria Lynn, a fine elo-
cutionist whose readings give
variety to the musical evening.
George McNutt, once pastor
of the 4th Presbyterian church
of Indianapolis, sIndiania, and
who resigned that he might live
among laboring men and under
stand their trials and problems
is coming. Mr.. McNutt is a
man of very striking personali-
ty, and a speaker of great force,
brimful of pathos and humor.
Rev. Anna II. Shaw is last
but not least. "The New Man"
will probably be her theme here.
Miss Shaw has a musical voice
and a gift or oratory. She is
a witty, logical, and forciable
speaker.
Dates will be announced later.
Miss Cora Schwartz, who has
been in the city the guest of
Mrs. Charles Deur, returned

The Des Moines Capital gives
the Iowa Democrats the follow
ing certificate of good character:
"The democrats of Iowa are
good people. They obey the
laws, pay their taxes and their
debts. They grow good corn,
fat cattle and splendid hogs.
They are in favor of public
schools, churches and good NOR
ais. They are misguided polit-
ically, but they are striving af-
ter good government in their
own way. The democratic state
convention is to visit Des Moines
this week and the delegates will
find cordial welcome in our

The Kansas Measure Forced 5000
Children to Go to School.
Topeka, Dec 7 IL Dayhoff,
state superintendent Of schools, has
received reports from sixty eight
counties and thirty-eight cities in
the state in regard to the operation
Of the new truancy law He says
it is successful. Almost 1000
cases relative to the absence Of chill
dren from school have come under
the atten tion Of the truant officers,
and with only three exceptions
they have been adjusted without
prosecution. Tn two of the three
cases the boys who refused to at
tend school we're sent to the state
reform school here. Seven cases
are now pending, butt is believed
these may be settled without pro-
secution.
The fact that the truant officers
have had 5000 cases under their
attention means that this number
of children are now attending
school who, under ordinary condi-
tions, probably would not be- The
people generally have signi6ed
willingness to comply with the pro-
visions of the act when notified by
the officers.
