The Lecture Course.

In the hope of cultivating a taste for
higher order of entertainment, than
is common here, the teachers of the
Oakes public schools have arranged for
a series of five musical and literary en-
tertainments. This is done primarily
in the interest of the school, and it is
thought will meet we'll defined need in
the education of the young people. The
course is the same that appears in about
ten of the larger towns of the state,
such as Devils Lake, Larimore, Park
River and Inkster; and its talent COM
pares favorably with any to be had in
their several lines.
No financial surplus is anticipated
but should there be one, it will be de-
voted to some general interest of the
school, to be designed by the teachers.
The price Of season tickets has been
fixed at one dollar and seventy five
cents each, and they are for sale byany
member of the faculty. Reduced rates
are made to pupils. The general ad-
mission is fifty cents.
The holders of season tickets are re-
quested to observe the following:
The ticket board in all cases possible
will be taken to Mr.. Young's drug store
during the morning of the day preced-
ing the lecture.
Those holding season tickets will pre-
sent them at the drug store. select
their seats, and have the same written
on the ticket opposite the number Of
the entertainment.
Children's tickets will not be honored
for reserved seats but will admit to
any seats not reserved or occupied.
The management wishes to thank the
public for its liberal patronage.
The first entertainment is to be given
next Saturday evening, Oct. %, in the
Academy of Music by ''The Royal Male
Quartette. For specimen program,
recommendations, etc., refer to folders
and hangers. The other dates are Nov.
%, Jan. a, Feb. z, and March s.

was short and decisive. The Rus

two hundred casualties while dead

Mistakes In tampa

BY a simple error in the printing Of a
set az stamps the value is enormously
Increased to collectors. a short time
ago a Dutch stamp was printed yellow
instead OF blue. a week later these
stamps We're sold ut a great premium.
A New Zealand stamp some years ago
was printed upside down, and 1t Is now
worth n large sum. Among English
stamps the old red penny, with the
plate No. 255, is valued by collectors,
and the small pink halfpenny. with
plate No. o, Is not worth less than 500.
1t is said that the plate Of the latter
was broken soon after it came into use
and was never replaced; hence the
value Of the few stamps printed from
1t. 1t is always a question with anna
tours whether to buy their stamps used
or unused. But it is safe on a great
occasion, such as a Jubilee or exp0si.
