for granted that something would be

The End of The Course.
The last lecture in the Normal
Entertainment Course was given
Monday evening by I’. S. Henson. D.
D., of Chicago, the witty preacher
and well-known lecturer. The eve
ning was mild and pleasant,and many
of the ladies wiio went to the lecture
wore no head-dress, a fact that did
notescape the observation and con
sequent remark ci the lecturer, who
is always on intimate terms with his
audience. As soon as the church was
comfortably tilled, Dr. Henson was
introduced by Prof. Brier, who took
occasion cordially to thank the patrons
of the course for their support and
interest.
The lecturer's first sally, after con
gratulating his hearers on the quality
of the lecture course as a whole, was
on our mutual lack of acquaintance.
It seemed strange, he remarked, and
hisaudience agreed with him. that he
and they had never met before. He
then declared that “Fools” was not
his best lecture, and that if they
wished to hear his best they must
invite him to come again. He had
even grown somewhat ashamed of
this lecture, so he confessed, and
regretted, in his more serious
moments, that he should be chiefly
remembered as the author of Fools.
This was especially embarrassing
since his son had once remarked that
this verdict was rather hard on him
self and the other children.
Ail the fools in Dr. Hanson’s
catalogue whose toes were steppe 1 on,
whose ears were boxed, nnd whose
inane or perverse follies were held up
to ridicule before the amused people
in the Congregational pews, were
numbered the rich and miserly fool,
the prodigal fool, the speculating fool,
the pedantic, the solemn, the giggling,
the dude and the drinking fool, and
finally the fool of unbelief. Through
out the entire lecture, which was rich
and sparkling in tone, there was a
wholesome and sweet current of
sound sense. For Dr. Henson is a
Thule-suuled loverof life, whose views,
if not positive!*’ broad, are at le.i*t
broadly charitab.e. He believes in a
romp with the children, the inspira
tion of the Word, and would prefer,
as he himself put it, “a little taffy
while alive to any amount of epl-taphv
when dead.” The lecture was charg
ed with action and dramatic fire; and
the kindly eyes of the speaker, the
emphasizing wag of his bead, and the
occasional ffi <bts among the luminous
words of the language, will leave a
distinct impression on the minds of
his hearers.

The Band Bene f its.
The two plays given Friday and Sat
urday evenings for the benefit of the
Amateur Band met with fairly good
patronage, and not only accomplished
the primary end in view, namely to
increase the uniform fund, but dis
played a certain degree of dramatic
excellence. Of th two plays 1 lie
Cashier was decidedly the better.
The Octoroon, in spite of its lively
action and the rather sparkling work
of a few of the people in the cast, was
too confused and clumsy to leave a
wholly favorable impression. Some
of the details were well carried out,
however, and the scenic effects, espec
ially arranged for the play by Mr.
Pond and Mr. Gilbertson, were a re
freshing change from the much-used
drop curtains of the stage.
Pond, who has a good stage pres
ence. acted the part of M'Closky with
force and spirit. Dodge* as Salem
Scudder, was even more than usually
clever, and helped keep the audio.;<e
in a good humor. In this he was sec
onded by Love as the chief darkey and
Charlie Farnsworth as Weenee Paul.
Purves acted easily, as did also Miss
Eaton. The < Ictoroon, as represented
by Miss Foley, was pleasing, anti very
sincere. Had it not been for the dif
ficult movements by large groups, the
acting of these people and of two or
three others, would have kept the
play in easy progress. The large
number of lesser characters, indis
pensable to certain scenes, made the
play, as we have said, somewhat con
fused; but the climax, admirably car
ried out by M'Closky and Wahnotee
(Campbell), under the illumination of
the burning steamer, went far toward
redeeming the less successful scenes.
In the Cashier, of Saturday night,
the action was brisk and easy, and tlie
dialogue, full of wit and clever puns,
was taken with zest by each of the
performers. The promise that the
cast was to be a select one, and that
the audience should have its till of
wholesome fun. was easily redeemed.
The crowd that tilled the Opera House
was in a good humor throughout the
evening, notwithstanding the fact
that the players, through an arrange
ment with the clerks, delayed the rise
of the curtain until after 9:00 o’clock.
Much genuine enjoyment was added
to the entertainment, besides, by the
piano selections played l>y Miss Free
man. who took the place of the Ama
teur Orchestra.
Here again, as in the Octoroon,
Pond and Dodge played the leading
roles, and with striking success.
Fond, as Pilgrim Boggs, did the tramp
in rollicking style, and the jim-jams
of Tony Ferrell brought Dodge the
liveliest kind of applause. Miss
Dodge played the part of Winnie
Wilder with a winsome wildness that
was consistent with the character ami
very taking. She was prettily dressed
and well made up. Miss Thelander.
who made tier second stage appear
ance in the Cashier, aroused a stir of
enthusiasm when she appeared for the
first time. Her white gown, tier mass
of light hair and her becoming make
up, took quick hold of the spectators.
Campbell is always sincere, And. for
the most part, effective. Johnston,
though fuR of dramatic dash, is occa
sionally affected and too obvious.
The character songs and the zither
and guitar music by Gilbertson and
Dodge were pleasant features of the
Cashier. The clerks, when they ap
peared about 9:00o’clock, resplendent
in red neckties and walking sticks,
were the observed of'all observers.

Obituary.
News was received yesterday by tele
gram that Mrs. J. M. Jobin, nee Aggie
Wales, had died very suddenly yesterday
morning at her home in Lebanon, South
Dakota.
Mrs. Jobin was still in the flower of
life, her exact age being 41 years, 4
months and 11 days. Her last com
munication to her mother gave no sug
gestion of ill health, and promised a visit
to her old home during the early spring;
so that her death is as unexpected as it is
untimely.
Mrs. J obi 11 was the eldest daughter of
Mr. aud Mrs. Nathaniel Wales and was
born in River Falls Nov. 20, 1855. Edu
cated at the Normal aud active in all
wholesome doings of church and society,
she made many fast friends, whose
acquaintance, in later life, she took
occasion to renew nearly every summer
by a visit home. In the early eighties
she joined the exodus to Dakota and
spent several years at Turton and at
Lebanon in the home where she died.
In June 1889 she was married at Turton
to Mr. J. M. Jobin, and t >ur years ago
removed to Lebanon, where Mr. Jobin
has occupied tile position ot station agent
and operator.
The body of Mrs. Jubin will be brought
to River Falls lor burial, ami the funeral
ceremony will be conducted by Rev
Chas. .Mclntosh. The date of the funeral
cannot now be announced, owing to the
uncertainty of railroad travel in Dakota.
The warmest sympathy of the Journal
and many of its readers is extended to
the le'atives of this lovable and Christian
woman.
We have 75 pairs Ladies’ line shoes,
sizes 2J to 5 which we will sell at a
