Ennor’s Lecture is a Grand Dime Novel—Closes Tonight.

John Ennor, the man who has been lecturing about his travels over all parts of the globe at the Rex theatre, will close his four days’ engagement here tonight. He is certainly a whirl* wind lecturer and gets over a lot of ground about which moat of us know comparatively nothing. He illustrates his talks with stereopticon pictures and he is very instructive. Friday night he talked about the arctic circle and presented the claim very forces* bly that neither Dr. Frederick A. Cook nor Captain Peary had reached the north pole. Mr. Ennor started with his listeners at Rensselaer, took them to the Pacific coast, thence north to Alaska, through that vast territory by various means of travel, thence through the of the Eskimos and told of the hardy lives which these natives of the frigid country have. He talked less than a half hour and yet. his travelogue was quite thorough. He talked fast, but distinctly and none who heard him could deny that It was really a great bargain at more than double the cost, to say nothing of the two picture films that were a part of each show. The house .was crowded to th 4 doors last night. Tonight he will talk on the Grand Canyon, petrified forests, old cliff dwellers of Arizona. Next week he wiil be in Logansport
