appeared as the sixth attraction of
the lecture and concert course. The
quartet had a hard time getting to
Mitchell through the SHOWS Of Iowa,
and it was Sis before they reached
the city on the delayed Milwaukee
passenger from the east. They bare-
ly had tine to get to the opera house
in time to begin their work of the
evening, and the circumstances were
not favorable for them, but after the

emitted IL tone that was powerful,
and sweet, taking a very low tone IN
several Of his selections.
Miss Catherine Cole, the reader
and entertainer, shared the honors Of
the evening with the quartet. Her
selections were generally of a hum

way of presenting them so that they
