Y. N. c. A. LECTURE COURSE

The 7. n. c. A. entertainment course
committee has selected the following
hVe numbers for the season of 1905-O6:
tlrst-The Adolph Hahn Festival
orchestra, consisting of 80 high class
male performers. Helen Carter Nc
Connell, prlma donna contralto, will
accompany the orchestra. The Festival
orchestra surpasses beyond comparison
the smaller companies and orchestras
0Iered to patrons of lecture courses.
The reputation of Adoph Hahn as a
musician is sufficient to assure the
public of the point.
Second-LeonOra jackson, the dis
tnlgulshed violinist, and the American
prlma donna soprano Sibyl Sammis,
assisted by Chas. E. Clarke, baritone,
and Alex: McFadzen, pianist, are with
out question one of the strongest CON
cert companies at present before the
public. Miss Jackson returns to
America after an absence of three wears
in Europe, where her success has been
phenomenal. Miss Sihyl Sammis is the
possessor of highly cultivated voice
OF vide range and power. Mr.. Chas.
h. Clarke, the baritone, created q
verltable furOre last season and is now
studying abroad with the best teachers.
MT. McFadzen has been before the
puoilc both as a Soiolist and accom-
panlst for several seasons and is
brilliant player.
Third-lsabel Carghill Beecher Amer
lca'S greatest interpretive reader Hon.
j. L. Dolliver says, cher art has a
charm and a fascination beyond the
genius of either the platform or the
stage of today"
Fourth-Dr. Thomas E. Green, one of
The strongest and most popular lectur-
ers on the platform. Reports from
lecture course committees all over the
country pronounce him an UNQUALIFIED
success as lecturer.
Fifth-President Russell II. ConweD
of Philadelphia, Pa, the brilliant
preacher, author and orator, has been
In the lecture field 40 years, in which
time he has delivered here and abroad
6,OOO lectures. AS a lecturer he stands
today without peer. These numbers
were selected after much Investigation
from the Redpath, Slayton and Central
bureaus.
1t is expected that at the meeting OF
the city council to be held this evening
the committee to which was referred
the petition of the Wisconsin River
Traction and Power Co. for franchise
to construct street railway, will make
It's report. We understand that up to
lately there has been a difference of
opinion among the committee members
regarding what exactions should be
made OF the company before granting
the franchise. Some believed that a
bond should be furnished and a certain
sum of money be paid over to the city
after certain length of time, if no
effort has been made to construct the
line. Others believed that no bond
should be asked for, but that short
time limit be placed on the life of the
franchise until the company shows
good faith by commencing TO build.
If it were outside parties who were ask
ing for the franchise both would prob
ably be demanded, but inasmuch as
Wausau gentlemen have filed the petit
ton, and it is believed that they mean
business, the council no doubt will be
lenient in its exactions.

mill of the Brooks d Ross Lumber Co.
