The Herald Re-Appointed Official Organ CHAUTAUQUA STARTS WELL Splendid Entertainment Delight Ijtrge Audience, lloth Af ternoons and Evenings PARADE WAS BIG FEATURE When the Alliance Woman's Club undertook to put on a Chautauqua they shouldered quite a responsibil ity in making the necessa ry guaran tec There was a common idea that th -Chautauqua was an affair too ta fle. to receive popular approva th i-V That Idea is being dispelled The public has been captured by the first two days of this year's program The first number on this year' program was a concert Tuesday af ternoon by the "All Brothers' Quar tet." Opening the Chautauqua ses sion wun this concert was a very timely plan, as it set everybody who was in attendance talking favorably In the evening, following a pre lude by the All Brothers' Quartet Dr. Cyrus S. Nusbaum delivered hi great lecture, "The Glory of Life,' to the delight and profit of the large audience in attendance. Yesterday, the second day of the Chautauqua, the people were expect ing something very good, and they were not disappointed. The after noon program opened with a music al prelude by the Browne-Enlowe Company, consisting of one lady and two gentlemen, all artists. Follow ing the rendition of the prelude, Stewart I. Long delivered one of bis inspirational lectures. Those who It has come and gone, the nine teenth annual convention of the Ne braska Stock Growers Association; nd it was the great convention that ad been foretold thru these col mns. In speaking of what the attend ance would be, and basing its prog nostications upon reliable data, The Herald on June 11 said, "You will see, according to present indications, more people than were ever before n this city in three consecutive days." There were not as many people in town on Thursday and Sat urday, the first and last days, as have been In Alliance on prevloui occasions; but on Friday the attend ance was a record-breaker. The attendance at the business meeting of the Nebraska. Slock Growers Association, in the Phelan opera house, at 10 a. m., was more than double what it was last year, indicating a growing interest In the good work of the association. The crowd at the fair grounds In the af ternoon was a record-breaker, altho many people remained on the streets down town. Preceding the session of the con vention at the opera bouse, Friday morning. Dr. C. M. Day, state field veterinarian, delivered a splendid lecture on blackleg In cattle and vac cination as a remedy and preventive therefor. Many questions asked by the stockmen present indicated their interest and were answered In a man ner that showed that the speaker was conversant with bis subject. The TTersld believes that Governor More head selected a man well qualified for field veterinarian when he ap pointed Dr. Day to that position. Election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President, Robert Graham of Alli ance. Vice president, A. T. Davis, Hyan nis. Secretary-treasurer, Chas. C. Jam eson, Ellsworth. Members of executive committee: C. II. Tally, Alliance; E. P. Meyers, Omaha; Reuben Llsco, Lodgepole; II. Bachelor, Valentine; Herman Krause, Long Lake; J. II. Ilonahan, Whitman; A. R. Modisett, Whitman; E. M. Eldred, Orlando: John II. Orr, Lewellen; E. M. Searle, Ogalalla; John Dlemer, Hyannis; A. Metxger, Merrlman; Jas. II. Qulgley, Valen tine; E. M. Brass, Grand 1st and; Daniel Adatnson, Lake. The matter of an official paper for the ensuing year was left by the con vention to the executive committee of fifteen members, besides president and secretary. The committee met immediately following the adjourn ment of the convention. By unani mous vote The Alliance Herald was reappointed official organ of the association. Dropping down from twelve, six teen and twenty-four pages, the site the paper has been recently, to eight pages, the site of this issue, curtails our space to such an extent as to make it impossible to publish re ports of brand inspector, secretary treasurer, etc., this week, but they, will be published soon and given more publicity than ever before. Imtortaiit t Members N. H. G. A. . Next week The Herald will pub lish a proposition for doubling the membership of the Nebraska Stock , Growers Association that will Inter est every member. The present membership of the association is not -half what it ought to be. There are probably very few, if any, stockmen in the west half ef Nebraska but what wltl mtmir that ther should loin the association; but how to get their names on the application blank, that's the proposition. The "Who's Who Among Nebras ka Stockmen" department will be continued, of course. With the suc cess it has already attained, we would not think of dropping it, ex cept that circumstances may make it necessary to occasionally leave it out of one issue.
