fner in the Chautauqua Course and
gave excellent satisfaction. He
will choose a new subject for his
lecture, SO those who did hear him
before, may not hesitate to hear
him again. DR.. Wiggam's lectures
are of the thought-proyoking kind.
He will talk upon "The Cradle

THE BEULAH BUCK LADIES QUARTET
This is the best quartet of ladies
voices that can be had. This is the
eighth year that the company has
been upon the platform. Mrs. Buck
herself sings second soprano. She
gained her musical education in
st. Louis and Chicago. The first
soprano, Miss Paddock, is soprano
in one of Chicago's leading church
choirs. Miss Whitacre, first con-
tralto, sang in two college glee clubs
and Miss Woodhouse, second con-
tralto, has a range of three octaves,
and is claimed to be able to reach
the lowest note of any lady on the
Lyceum platform. The four have
sung together for number Of years,
and give a varied program of quar-
tetes, duets and solos.
MRS. SARGENT HASKELL READER
Mrs. Haskell is said to equal
katherine Ridgeway. This recon-
mendation will suffice for River
Falls patrons, for Miss Ridgeway
was very popular here. Mrs. Has
kell gives varied program of read
1ngs, including selections from Ril-
ey, Dunbar, Browning and Shakes
peare. She is said to have acquir-
ed fame through her laugh, which
would indicate that her programs
are popular in character.
STRICKLAND W. GILLIAN
Mr.. Gillian is a real humorist.
His time was sold out last year
when the committee asked for him,
and to secure him this year, he had
to be booked last spring. The uni
versatility of his reputation is shown
in the fact that he appears fire.
Quently as an afternoon speaker
with such lights as Taft and Bryan
Mr.. Gillian has appeared once in
this city.
THE SALVI-AUSTIN-HE

Maro,1rifa Anctin V;0liniSt q m
phi Of Thomson, is said to be a real
artist. Florence Hedstrum, So
prano, has this said of her by the
Minneapolis Tribune" Miss Flor

are decidedly above the average.
Her voice is very high soprano,
and her tones are produced without
