Assemblyman Dahl, assisted by
some other La Toilette bummers,
has fixed" the first ward so that
the third-termers have a cinch on
the delegation! This was the plan
arranged by these reformers-one
new to even professional ward
heelers" of the slums: Two men
were selected to run as candidates
at the caucus. Both of these were
known to the bummers TO be sure
La Toilette men, but only one was
known to the voters TO be of that
persuasion while the other was sup
posed to be a Baensch man. The
known-third termer was to declare
his attitude while the other La Fol-
lette candidate was to have it un-
derstood that he was for Baensch!
And SO you see we've got 'em
surrounded!" Yes, if you could
only find men in River Falls mean
enough to lend themselves to such
a dirty scheme 1t is doubtful if
there are two men in this city so
anxious to commit suicide. One Of
the La Toilette men who was asked
to be the tool of these schemers is
said to have tersely informed the
gentlemen that the voters of the
ward could run their affairs with
out outside interference-they dem
onstrated it a wear or two ago.

Peoples Lecture Course.

Ever since the Peoples Course
was established in this city, the
desire has been expressed, and re-
peatedly expressed, that the people
here might be given the opportun-
ity of hearing Booker T. Washing
ton. Again and again have efforts
been made to secure him, but al
ways with the same result, failure.
Finally, Mr.. Washington told Pres.
Brier, personally, that the demands
upon him are such that he can not
go to towns to lecture for less than
$500 per night, and then only TO
places where he can interest persons
in his work and secure contribu-
tions of several hundred dollars
more. That seemed to settle the
matter. But this spring an agent
came to town representing one of
the lecture bureaus, and offered to
book Mr.. Washington here next
year for 5000. The offer staggered
the committee. If Mr.. Washington
could be secured for 5000, there
would be no question about engag-
ing him. But the offer was too
good. 1t seemed best to investi-
gate. The demand for guarantee
of ability to furnish Mr.. Washing
ton here for 5000, brought the fol-
lowing letter:
CHICAGO, April II, 1901.
PROF. AMEs, River Falls, Wis.
Dear Sir:-Our Mr.. reports
that you are DESTROYS of engaging
Booker Washington for your lecture
course. Regarding the matter will
state that we offered him 5000
night and expenses if he would ac-
cept some dates in the West, but he
declined the proposition, and il is
useless for us to consider him for
western business.
Yours very truly,
- LYCEUM BUREAU"
This disposes of the possibility
of Booker Washington, and the
above is published that the people
may know the exact status of af-
fairs.
Although unable to secure Mr..
Washington, the committee has
booked the course for next year and
feels that it is going to offer the
public the strongest course ever
brought to this city. The course
is to be opened by Henry Watterson
of Kentucky, the famed orator of
the Blue Grass region, one of the
best known and ablest men and
speakers of the present time. Then
there will come dorado Taft, artist
and sculptor, with his work as artist
and sculptor done, and explained,
and discussed before the audience.
Then the Dunbar Male Quartette,
one of the leading male quartettes
of the country, with cello soloist,
and two bell-ringing numbers, us
ing ITO lhand-cast English bells.
Col. Copeland, King of the Plat
form, one of the best known of the
lecturers of the old school, and
Ross Carne, chalk talkisL and mono
loguist. These five numbers will,
we are confident, give varied and
instructive course, offering some
thing to all classes of patrons, and
giving the people an opportunity to-
hear, for triAing sum, the best
talent ever offered here.

A season of light opera, at very pop ular prices, will be inaugurated at Proctor's 5Sth street theater, New
 York, commencing Decoration day afternoon, May 30, and promises to be
 most successful one. Matinees will be given Mondays, Wednesdays and
 Saturdays, at 9 cents for all seats.
 Evening prices will be 25 and 50 cents only. An excellent company has been engaged, including number of we'll known stars, and the repertoire will be drawn entirely from the work of the modern school of composers. The mi tial attraction will be the Alice Mel son production of 1.-The Fortune Tell er," and will be followed by "The Singing Girl,' "Jack and the Bean stalk" and the BostOnians famous success, "The Serenade." The 18th street theater was designed by MT Proctor as an all-the-year-around house, and possesses many features conducting to the comfort of the pa irons not to be found in the average theater. This includes an elaborate ventilating system, huge fans being employed to introduce iced air into the auditorium, while other fans ex- haust the hot air on three sides, while broad aisles and spacious accommoda- tions further contribute to the specta- tors comfort. Owing to the acceSsi- bility of the theater, every car line transfers to within a block of the house, and the patronage will not be

The superb, costly and rare pedigree horses and ponies with Sig. Sautelle's Nine Consolidated Railroad shows to be seen in Danbury, Tuesday, May "A, afternoon and evening, ,are alone worth travelling many miles to view. They comprise genuine equine fair. There are horses and ponies of the purest blood and highest intelligence, which do everything but talk. Such a mag nificent display of horse world won- ders as MT Sautelle offers this season was never seen before in this country. Fully 100 equine actors are introduced during the performance by the worlds greatest trainers, presenting exhibi- tions so vast, so exalted and so refined as to command universal praise. The various acts are really astounding and of such positive novelty and originality and thrilling interest as to blot out all previous displays of trained horses, no matter where, when, or by whom pre- Sented. Then there are the bounding, leaping horses, the hurdle racers, wild running chariot horses, bucking bron- chos and the ring stock horses in be- wildering exhibitions, displaying to a marked degree the nerve and skill of the male and female equestrians as we'll as the unexampled excellence and wonderful power of horses.
