Lincoln Mcdonnell

Lincoln Mcconnell has come and
gone. The Peoples Lecture Course
has furnished the community with
some strong lectures in the past
years, but with very few if any that
were better than the one given Mon
day evening by Mr.. Mcconnell. Mr..
Mcconnell is a southerner with the
southerner's accent. He is a
large man with boundless energy.
He is an orator, both forceful and
polished. He is an adept in the
art of catching and holding an audi
ence. His lecture Monday evening,
interspersed with stories that kept
his audience in the lest of humor,
was a powerful appeal to his hear
ers, the young especially, to prove
themselves possessed of ambition,
energy, optimism, and courage in
their life work. Few of those who
heard him were anything other than
enthusiastic in their praise of his
lecture, and should he appear here
again, we are sure that he will be
greeted by a crowded house.

Slow Pay, But Sure.

Another proof that Uncle Sam is
honest and will pay his debts as soon
as he can Is on exhibition at the office
of julius Schmah, secretary Of state
of Minnesota. 1t is a check for SLIT,
which was received last week by
Charles A. Rose, document clerk, at
Chicago Uncle Sam has been owing
Mr.. Rose this money ever since 1868
and has at last got enough ahead to
pay the debt. In 1853 Mr.. Rose was
transferred from one company Of vol
unteers to another and at the time OF
his transfer there was due him $1.77.
The amount was never paid and MIR.
Rose had even forgotten that he had
it coming until the check arrived.

' Demand for Black Eos skins.

According to government reports,
there are only a few dozen genuine
black fox skins in North America
each year in the wild state and there
is great demand for the skins in Eu-
rope. AS the black puppies usually
fall a prey to the red females in the
wild state, the market is almost de-
pendable upon the animals raised in
captivity. A farm of twenty pairs of
grown foxes should produce from 40
to so puppies in a year.

The performance of THE Thief"
Tuesday evening was one of the
strongest plays witnessed at the
opera house this season. The sue
cess of the play was largely due to
the superb acting of Miss Marion
Sherwood, as Marie Voysin," the
thief. Her part was most difficult
one and her mastery interpreta-
ton of it won for her the highest
approval of the audience. The
others of the cast supported Miss
Sherwood in excellent style and the
entire play was carried through in a
manner that held the rapt attention
of the audience from curtain to cur
tain.
