Dr. Star, (Ke-ki-ou-kah), the In¬
dian lecturer, who is making a tour
through this country in the interest of
friendliness toward his people, lect¬
ured at the court house last night.
He speaks good English, is well edu¬
cated and has an extraordinarily intel¬
lectual appearance. Owing to the
very cold weather and his presence
not generally being known the audi¬
ence was comparatively small. The
people would have been glad for him
to have remained over longer, but
his being very hoarse would not per¬
mit. Carnesville will give him a
hearty welcome if he should return.
