CAPT. AMUADSEN LECTURE.
The Distinguished Norwegian
Explorer Accorded A
Magnificent Recep-
ton At Cant ton.

Last Saturday at 1880 President
Tuve of Augustana College and $50
students with the Luther League
band and a large delegation from the
Grieg Sangforening carrying flags and
banners, were at the depot to well
come the distinguished gentleman,
the heroic discoverer of the North
west passage, Capt. Roald Amundsen.
Capt. Amundsen was met by President
Tuve and introduced to a few friends
and then escorted him to an auto in
company with Adolph Bragstad. The
students, Griegs and citizens formed
in line and escorted President Tuve
and his guest to the Rudolph.
In the evening Capt. Amundsen de-
livered his famous illustrated lecture
covering his wonderful Journey thru
the frozen northwest, under the mag
netic pole where the needle Of a COM
pass hys around.
The meeting was opened by the
Griegs who sang a selection and it
was done so we'll that the audience
IdllC0 " AlOlC. Az ia SOuSlhoIOa VA
the second number President Tuve
introduced the speaker to as fine an
audience as ever assembled in the col
lege chapel.
The speaker took his audience with
him on that wonderful trip thru the
frozen north describing the scenes
shown on the screen, but the pictures
told only too well the nature of that
three years journey where no white
man had gone before. His winter
camp was in arctic snow where the
thermometer registered 10 below. His
pictures of the eskimos and his gal
liant little Gjoa, and the other scenes
on that wonderful trip yer highly
interesting to the audience. The
staunch little Gjoa was built in Har-
danger, Norway, In 1873 for Asbjorn
Sexe. and named after his wife, and
the gentleman who had that vessel
built is an uncle of T. 7. Sexe of Can
ton.
After the lecture Capt. 'Amundsen
retired to Prot. Quale's Office in the
college where he was presented to a
number of ardent admirers.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. T. Sexe arranged a
social entertainment at their home in
honor of Capt. Amundsen, and Harry
Randall, his manager, to which we're
invited the members of the Grieg,
and other friends. The Griegs enter
tanned the explorer with excellent
music after which light refreshments
were served. The Grieg's presented
the Captain with a recent photograph
of the society which he will treasure
in memory Of his delightful visit to
Canton.
After dinner Saturday Captain
Amundsen was escorted to Grieg Hall
where hundreds Of citizens called up
on him.
He is about IS years old and has
been a sailor for Is years. and is un.
married.
He was a student in the University
of Norway at Christiania, until he
was twenty years Of age, which was
until fifteen years ago, when the
spirit of adventure and a desire to
know more about the world seized
him and he left school and the study
of medicine, in which he was engaged
and decided to follow in the footsteps
of his father, who was a sea captain
He explained that there is a geogra,
phic pole as we'll as a magnetic north
pole, or a point in the north where
the needle Of the compass whirls In
every direction and indicates no par
ticular direction.

QUAKES AT SEA.

ASTORIA, Ore, Nov. 1.-THE Ger
man bark Herzogin Sophie Charlotte
in ballast, from Bremen, arrived this
morning after a passage of LOG days,
which breaks all records from the Eng
fish channel to the Columbia river.
While about $40 miles off the south
ern Oregon coast, eight days ago, the
ship experienced a series of sharp
earthquakes that gave those on board
the impression that it had run on the
rocks.
The Charlotte some of the training
ships of the North German Lloyd
steamships and has about 60 appren-
tees on board as well as a regular
crew The vessel is here for orders,
but none were awaiting it on account
of its exceptionally quick passage.

THE LAND OF NOD"

It seems quite in the order of things his orical that a great con- stellation of mimicry and frolic such as ''The Land of Nod" should have career filled with large personal interest. The spectacle was first produced in Chicago two years ago after Adams. Hough and Howard, three successful composers and li- brettists, had united in producing their admittedly best effors. After run of a year in Chicago it was taken through the large cities of the middle west and south. Then it was returned to Chicago where 1t run for six months. After the second run it was taken to the New York theater, where it was rebuilt and rehabili- tated in every way possible and was just entering upon what was be- lieyed to. be record-breaking run on Broadway, when the theater burned. Fortunately, the conflagra- tion did not destroy the big scenic effects nor mar the costuming and electrical effects. The presentation of ''The Land of Nod" which will be made at Polls on Monday, April 6, matinee and night, is much grander and more sumptuous than seen at it's initial offering in the middle west. New songs and dances and new light and tone effects have been supplied, keeping it far in the lead of other things of it's kind. Prices, matinee 25c to $1; evening 25c to s1.50.

MIR MANTELL.

Observations of the pictorial man. her of any of MT Mantell's perform. ances of tomorrow and Saturday at Polls will reveal even to the lay man the fact that it's costs money to revive Shakespeare. A play or modern life can, as a rule, be staged properly for not much more money, save in the case of an exceptional outdoors setting, than is required to put on a single act of any of the great plays of Shakespeare Thus, the casket scene of MT Man tells performance of "The Merchant of Venice,' is set with scenery that cost $2,100, exclusive of the decora- tions, furniture, etc. The court room sitting, in the same play. cost 800. The queens closet in Ham let although scene of utter sim plicity, cost $1,S0O; and the scene of Act II of Macbeth" the murder of Duncan, a massive affair, cost $3,- 200. Another massive and expen. sive setting is the exterior of Clos ter's castle, in King Lear," for which MT Brady paid $3,100. Still another is the throne-room of Hamlet" with a superb effect of great depth and distance; this cos, $2,900. On tomorrow evening MT Mantell will be seen in King Lear,' on Saturday afternoon "The Merchant of Venice" and on Sat urday night Macbeth" Seats now on sale. Prices, matinee 25c to $1; evening, 25c to S1.50. Telephone 1884.
