Tho third in tho series of entertain
ments will be F R Roberson Thursday
night June 29 in a splendidly illustrat
ed lecture on Russia Roberson has
been in McCook three times already and
everyone hero will bo glad to welcomo
him again No stereopticon views could
be finer than his and when it is consid
ered that he has returned only this
month from the scenes of the tremen
dous political and social discontent in
various parts of tho Russian empire new
and added interest will bo aroused in
what he may say
The next number in the entertainment
course occurs next Thursday night June
29 at tho opera house when Frank R
Roberson who has just reached New
York from Russia will give his beauti
fully illustrated lecture on the war in the
far east between Russia and Japan
When Mr Roberson was in McCook
last winter it will be remembered that

for the Japs and now after a series of
brilliant victories it will be interesting
to note how far his views have undergone
a change It will bo a timely lecture
brilliantly illuminated with the finest
stereopticon views
The Dean Was Delightful
The recital by Dean Southwick of
Emerson school of oratory Boston in
the opera house Wednesday evening
was a delightful treat The dean associ
ates with his splendid ability the graces
of a most attractive personality and
captures his audience at the scoring line
That the dean is capable of doing the
humorous was well shown in the open
ing minor part of his program when a
number of mirth provoking and other
wise selections were given the boat
race was especially pleasing
Rut the seiious delight of the evening
was his recital of Bulwer Lyttons ro
mantic and poetic dram Richelieu
The Cardinal King Here the artist
has full sway for his cleverness and he
was not disappointing
The Tribune is not enamored of the
average entertainer elocutionist or reci
ter but it would love to be bored by
the delightful dean just as often as he
can come this way
