1.-THE TEMPEST. Z"
The Last of the Shakespearian Lectures
Given by Prof i. &. Carter Troop.

Shakespeare : delightful comedy The
Tempest was the subject of the last OF
the course of lectures by Prof. J. G.
Carter Troop, of the University of Chi
cago, which was given in the Presby-
tcrian church, Tuesday evening. This
lecture wa fitting climax to the ex-
cellent course which has been presented
during the past twelve weeks and was
listened to with close attention by the
usual good sized audience Prof Troop
gave very comprehensive analysis of
the story of The Tempest and considered
il in three lights, namely, "a a work of
art. a. a literary criticism. and a. con-
tanning bits of autobiography of Shake
speare himself The vivid presentation
of the characters of the play together
with the reading of selections, which
Prof. Troop does with a rare charm,
added a great deal to the interest of the
lecture
At the close of the lecture. motion
was made 10 extend 10 Prof. Troop
cordial vote of thanks for his services
III giving this valuable course of lectures,
which was unanimously carried by a
rising vote.
\ course of this kind under the man
agement of the Extension Bureau of the
University of Chicago is new in Alma,
but the experiment has been a decided
success The interest in the lectures has
been remarkable and il has kept UP
during the entire series. Alma has
been fortunate in being able 10 secure
such an excellent course of Shakespeare
lectures Those who have listened 70
them and have attended the study classes
in the afternoon, have found Prof. Troop
a thorough Shakespearian scholar, and
not only dramatic critic but e. popular
and interesting lecturer as W, l. Ii is
hoped that this feature may ecome a
permanent one and that ano .er year
Alma may have the good ft,tune TO
secure another course under the Exten-
sion Bureau plan

FELL UNDER TEAM.
J. VI. Montigel Had Narrow Escape From
Death Friday.

In attempting to board the hose wagon
while the fire team was running at full
speed in response to a call from the
north side last Friday about noon, J. NJ
Montigel was thrown violently TO the
grouud and run over by team drawing
a gravel wagon, which was closely fol-
lowing the fire department. He was
badly bruised, but soon recovered from
his dazed condition and walked home
unassisted. No bones were broken, but
he is suffering from internal injuries
which may terminate seriously.
Those who witnessed the accident feel
that il was almost a mericle that his life
was saved, for in the fall one of the
horses was thrown to the ground and
both rolled in a confused heap into the
gutter The team belongs to Bert Thomp-
son. and he made heroic effort TO avoid
running Mr. Montigel down, but he was
too close and the team going too fast.
