The last of the lecture series on Fri
day evening was given by Mr.. L. J.
man who has acquired
reputation on the lecture
platform and who is now doubtless con-
tent to rely on that reputation. The
speaker has spectacular style of COM
position that is quite striking, but he is
by no means an eloquent orator. The
good things which he says or the new
ideas advanced are almost lost in the
great mass of stale jokes or trite sayings
gathered from the minstrel and vaude-
vile stage. Anyone who has read "a
Slow Train Through Arkansas" has al
ready seen one-half of Mr.. Beauchamp's
alleged funny jokes. A modern lecture
ought to comprise something more than
relating ancient humor.

tended them by Mr.. and Mrs. Pollard
and the evening was passed in an appro-
pirate way to mark the tenth mile stone
in the journey of life by this worthy
couple A handsome dining table and
the we'll wishes of those present were the
mementos of esteem which the company
left with Mr.. and Mrs. Pollard.
1T depends largely on the day of the
week as to how much water is used in
the city. On Sunday for instance it only
takes seventy -one thousand gallons for
all purposes, while the other six days re-
quire one hundred and twenty seven
thousand gallons or course this differ
ence cannot all be charged up to the
drink account, but it is very resonable to
surmise that the amount used for wash"
purposes on Sunday is far less than any
other day of the week. The skepiic
might argue that something better than
plain water was used on Sunday, but his
theory would fall fiat when it is known
that the closed door rule was strictly
observed on the first day of the week.
The magnitude of the business done
by Wilson Bros. at their Monarch Lab
oratory is realized by only few, and for
information On this point we mention the
fact that last week goods to the amount
