Prof. Koch's Lecture

The lecture given Tuesday
evening in the High School
Auditorium on "The Comedy
of Shakespeare as illustrated
in Twelfth Night and other
plays" by Professor Koch of
the University of North Dakota
was a rare treat. He was greet
ed by an enthusiastic audience.
Professor Koch, of national
reputation, rendered his read
ings with that splendid inter-
pretation which assured his
hearers an hour Of delightful
and instructive entertainments,
Thruout his lecture he held his
audience with q personal mag.
aetism and deep knowledge
that can only be acquired by a
most thorough scholar. All
present could not help but feel
that they were brought into
closer relationship with that
master of writer's, VIM. Shake
peafe, and that they had heard
something worth while.

About 80 commercial club
men attended t h regular
monthly meeting last week. A
committee has in charge the
con liberation of possible i'm. Z.
proved quarters for the club,
and the house com mit,ee and

wise plans which can be placed
before the club at the next
regular meeting looking to
something definite in the way
of such an improvement. 1t ap-
pears that the club rooms at
Minot were furnished at a cost
of about $1,000 and those at
Fargo the same, while those of
the Grand Forks club cost
$1,000. But, as the Grand Forks
secretary has we'll said, the
prime purpose of any CONNER
clal club is the general develop.
ment of it's community, espe-
cially in business or financial
sense, and clubs make mis-
take which spend too much
money and thought on the
purely social features.
The secretary has been in
communication with Secretary
Thos. Cooper of the "Better
Farming Association of North
Dakota, who probably will be
able to arrange 80 as to be in
Wahpeton during the progress
of the two weeks Extension

Democrats were invited to this
gathering and it. is matter of
the deepest regret that these
great leaders of the party could
not be with US. but inasm uch
as others Of equal prominence
are coming it is hard to divine
any good reason why every
Democrat in the state should
not attend the banquet and en-.
JOY the good speeches which
will undoubtedly be made prob.

Robt. Hart and Albert Spen-
Ger two colored gentlemen were
tried and found guilty of high.
way robbery in the fret degree.
They were brought before the
court Monday morning for
sentence. In answer to the
question, if he had anything to
say why he should not be SEN
fenced, Hart said, that he did
not have a fair trial as his at
torney Judge Dow refused to
let him go on the stand and
testify in his own behalf. Judge
Dow in his address to the court
said, harsh sentences of young
men tend to make criminals for
life.
State Attorney Wolfe said
that if the prisoner was a white
man, he would ask to have him
sentenced for life as he was
one of these men that thought
he was bad man and wanted
to be a bad man, that his whole
demeanor since arrested was
that of a man looking for a
chance to escape and that he
had made at least two attempts,
since he was in the Wahpeton
Jail. The Judge sentenced him
to the penitentiary at Bism arck
for ten years.
Albert Spencer his accom-.
plice in crime, when brought
before. the court said he was
twenty years old and had al
ways worked for living and
never was arrested before. The
jury recommended him to the
lienency of the court. his at
torney Judge Dow said that his
conduct since arrested was ex-
cellent and thought justice
would be best subserved by
giving him the minimum sen-
tence of one year. States At.

sentiments expressed by Judge
Dow and Spencer was sentenc.
ed to one year in the pen by
Judge Allen. 1t will be re.

which these two men were con.
victed and sentenced was to
hold up and rob conductor
Meyers, one night last summer
near the fair grounds.
VIM. Hutton was tried and
found guilty of maintaining a
nuisance at Hankinson. He
not being present his bond was

it is the privilege of Governor
