Lauriium Department
BLOWING HIN UP" WILL
BE UNDERSTANDS SUBJECT

l.. b. Wickersham, the well known
lecturer, will lecture tomorrow even
ing in the Laurium Nj. T.. church, on
the subject blowing Him up" This
subject was decided upon today.
Mr.. Wickersham is paying his sec
ond visit TO this district. He preached
at the Laurium NJ. L. church yester-
day morning and was.heard by a large
congregation.
DIR. Wickersham is recognized as
ever heard in the copper country. He
is forceful, eloquent and instructive.
Speaking of him, Charles e. Bentley,
of Chicago, eX-general manager of the
Chicago Lyceum Bureau, says:
after more than twelve years ex-
perience as a lyceum bureau manager
and an intimate acquaintance with
him and a personal knowledge of two
OF three thousand OF his lecture en-
gagements, ! do not believe there is n
man on the American platform who
has, i'm the same number of years, ac-
complished more in quantity and
quality of the kind of work the Lyceum
needs, filed more return engagements,
inspired more people to make the
most of themselves, or who has a
larger circle of staunch friends, and
has more nearly approXimated to the
peoples ideal of what lecturer should
be in character and usefulness. than
l.. b. Wickersham. If l were required
to nominate three of the best and
most useful of men of this lyceum
generation, irrespective of the length
of service, Mr.. Wickersham would be
one of the triumvirate."

The unexpected death Of Senator
DOlliver at his home at Fort Dodge
Iowa, Saturday night, was al great
shock to his many admirers in the
copper country. for nowhere was hc
better liked for his able leadership IN
the affairs Of the Nation and as a
champion Of the rights Of the people
than right here. He had visited the
copper country and talked from the
lecture platform, making a deep i'm
preston on the minds Of his auditors,
and ever since many local people have
taken a deeper personal interest in him
and have applauded his efforts in the
behalf Of every good national cause.
His death at this time, when the bat
