STAR LECTURE COURSE Series Finished With "The

Strollers" Wednesday Evening

The Conrgegfrtional church was packed to its capacity Wednesday evening for the Strollers Quartette, the concluding number of the Star Lecture Course, which lias been giving a series of high-class lectures and con­certs during the winter. An excellent program was given by Messrs. Steele, Well?, Ewing and Carpenter, and their work was appreciated to such an extent that they, were obliged to respond to encores several times. Mr. Carpenter's tenor solo, '-'The Secret" was especially line, and the in­strumental numbers were very pleas­ing throughout. The Strollers Concert company are very clever musicians and singers and they made a decided hit with the audience. Should they appear before a local audience again they would undoubtedly draw a very large house.

During the/ intermission R. L. Millard stated that the Star Lecture Course was a success financially as well as otherwise, having broken a little better than even on the series. He stated that a representative of the Lyceum Buieau -would be here this month and arrangements would pro­bably be made for a series of six numbers for the Star Lecture Course for the coming season. The price of the course will, however, be raised fifty cents.

It is claimed that the girl was not of age, being only 15 years old, and that Kintop in procuring a marriage license in the home county of the girl swore that she was 18 years ot age. He eloped with • her and came to this city, ap­pearing before .Rev. Father Altendorf of the Sacred Heart church and re­questing him to unite them in marriage. As it was lent, and holy week, the pastor refused to marry them at this time, so the couplo decidcd to wait until Sunday. The girl's father, who conducts a store and boarding house at Chrleton, had a warrant issued for the arrest of Kintop as soon as he learned of the elopement, with the above stated result.
