Many of the patrons of the Lecture
Course are asking questions about
the talent and programs for the sea-
son. For the past few months the
committee has been making prepara-
ions for as strong a course as has
ever been presented in Mitchell. No
get the best people on the platform.
The following is a brief outline of
the talent for the coming season.
The course will be opened Oct.
81 by the Bostonia Orchestra. 1t has
been several years since these people
have been west; their time has ben
completely taken up in the eastern
states. Responding to an almost
universal demand from committees
for an oranization OF this kind, the
bureau consented to open the west
organization is composed entirely OF
ladies, each being a specialist in her
part. The programs are chosen with
good taste and sense. With the or
cnestra Mart Ming, story tel
Ter. He is not a reader, nor is he an
elocutionist; he is a great entertain
er. With Dooley stories and a COL
lection of southern tales Mart King
makes a distinct hit.
After some difficulty the commits
tee persuaded the bureau to send
us the Redpath Grand Concert Com
pany, a quartet of stars. Not to
our knowledge, at least in recent
years, has such a quartet been put
upon the Lyceum platform. DR..
Carl Duff comes as leader and nal
ager. With him are DR.. Ion Jack
son, Mr.. Cecil James, and Mr.. Fred
erick Martin. To all who know our
great musicians no more need be
said.
The college Singing Girls" and
the Gertrude Miller Concert Com

fractions. We have NO hesitation in
indorsing each of these companies.
Eight young ladies, assisted by Wal
ter Eceles, entertainer, compose the
fist company. Good taste, spirit, life,
movement, these elements character
Iize their programs. The Miller Con-
cert Company can be best appreciate
ed by our patrons if they will recall
Miss Ridgeway and her assistants.
Miss Miller is a second katherine
Ridgeway on the platform. Full of
earnest purpose and a distinct de-
sire to meet the demands OF her aud
fence, she enters her work with an
enthusiasm hat must produce re-
suits.
This age is interested in aerial
navigation. The committee desired
i to get some specialist to lecture to
our people On air-ships. Failing in
this they came as near to it as pos
sible and procured the services OF
Henry Helen Clayton, OF Boston TIC
| lecture on Balloons and Balooning".
AT first thought the subject may seem
trivial, but Mr.. Clayton discusses the
science of balloon structure and more
than that pays special attention to
a study of air currents. .Ae lecture
is Illustrated by seventy-five on 3
hundred pictures taken by the lect-
urer himself. Mr.. Clayton is the
man who guided the "Pommern' III
its great race from st. Louis to the
Jersey coast. He knows his story by
!. experience and tells it delightfully."-.
: We are glad to again present il
Mitchell, Leland T. Powers, the
great reader from Boston. There is
but one Powers. He has been il
Mitchell once before and the people
b are still talking about him, hence We
have nc hesitation in bringing hin
a here again. He has no superior il
!. the world.
But few men are able to stay OF
the Lyceum platform more than

conspicuous figures. Everywher,
these men go, their audiences witt
one voice request a return date. w
take great pleasure in presenting
them to our people. AS orators the
rank high; as keen observers an
on social conditions ann
problems they will commend them
selves to all.
Gov. E. ". Hoch, of KANSAS is O
the schedule. On two or three oe
cosions we have tried to bring Hoe

made. He scarcely needs a recon
