In the neighborhood Of twenty
gentlemen gathered at A. w. Bing-
hams home Thursday evening and
listened to highly interesting lecture
by DIR. Tomlinson of st. Peter on the
subject of "Psychology'' or 1.-THE
Study of the Mind. The doctor is a
thorough master of his subject, and
his discourse, although dealing only
with the elementary phases of the
great question, kept his hearers spell
bound for nearly two hours.

SCHEME MEETS WITH FAVOR
Need Of Minnesota River Improve
ment Appeals Strongly to
Legislative Committee.
Plans Considered Involve Far More
than was Dreamed of at Outset.

The joint committee of the house and
senate on the Improvement of the Min
nesota river held meeting Thursday
evening, and, as one of the daily
papers puts it, if the enthusiasm dis
played then and there is any criterion
the problem of draining the stream so
is to eliminate the annual overflow and
the consequent damage, and of increas-
ing its efficiency for power purposes
and making it navigable as far as pos
sible, is within the range of early So
luton.
Not alone were practical ways and
means discussed whereby the states
natural resources would be enriched
to an extent never contemplated by the
average citizen, but it was also shown
that the benefit which Uncle Sam
would receive in helping to keepenough
water in the upper Mississippi would
be so extensive as to give the state,

government for financial aid in the
construction of dams and reservoirs
to control the waters of the Minnesota
and thereby maintain an ample re-
serve flow of water to keep the larger
river we'll supplied at the time that
such supply was most needed.
F. L. Cliff Of Ortonville addressed
the committee on the subject of reser-
voirs, paying special attention to the
proposed reservoir on Big Stone Lake
and the project of diverting the waters
of Whitestone river, which, it is be-
lieved, would relieve the whole upper
end of the Minnesota river.
The proposition of erecting system
of reservoirs, having in view the same
object, was discussed in detail and with
great thoroughness by the committee.
The general opinion seemed to be that
this was the easiest and quickest solu-
ton of the problem, and steps were
taken to obtain practical reports on
just what this involved from a finan-
cial and legal point of view.

"Mrs. Temples Telegram, !"

''Mrs. Temples Telegram,
dramatized laugh in three acts, intro
ducing Miss Rose Evans, Charles
Lun and other well-known artists, will
be presented at the Turner Theatre on
February l4th. The story of the play,
which has been repeatedly declared to-
be the most entertaining farce pro-
duced in many years, is that of a
married man, who having been caught
high in the air in Ferris wheel, the
machinery of which has broken down.

tell his wife the truth about the matter.
but she does not believe him, so he
resorts to lie instead. It is this
apparently innocent subterfuge that
involves husband, wife and friends in
all sorts of complications which keep
the audience in one perpetual laugh
throughout the entire performance.

is just now engaged in making COM
plete survey of the river for the COM
mittee, was present at the meeting and
took part in the discussions covering
the important practical phases of the
committee's work.

those present that the federal govern

would to large extent increase the,

at the Turner Theatre next Wednes-

last numberin the callecture course,
and the committee in control seem
to be assured Of the fact that they
have saved the best for the last In
this nation they are endorsed by the
Colorado Gazette which said OF one
of McCleary's lectures: "With a per-
sonality strangely mixed, with the
logic of philosopher, the humor Of
a comedian, the art of an actor, YET
the simpleness of a country man, he
carried his hearers from the sublime
to the pathetic, from the pathetic to
the funny side Of life with every sen.
tence and there was not second when
one could tell what was coming next.
Taken all in all, the lecture was one
of the most remarkable ever heard
here, being neither sermon, mono
logue nor humorous lecture, yet all OF
these and more.''
