vice at tho Hall in tho Grove at 1:30 P. M. ,

literature in Boston , in California , and now
President of tho University of Dakota.
3. Tun Department of Music. H. R.
Palmer , Mus. Doc. will organize a much
larger chorus than ever belore. Excellent
selections of music aro furnished free on up
plication to F. I. Foss , President of tho Assem
bly , Crete , to those who will agree to study
them in advance and to join tho chorus. A
flrst-class quartette has beon secured. Tho
soprano , Madam Carrlngton of Chicago , is one
of tho foremost singers in America.
Entertainments will be given by tho Imperi
al ( male ) Quartette of Chicago , who aro un
surpassed in this country.
There will bo daily classes for beginners ;
also in chorus training , and in harmony.
4. The Department of Drawing. Prof.

teachers and others who wish to learn to apply
tho principles of drawing in their work ; also

The lawyers and editors , as usual , will have
public addresses on subjects of special inter
est to them.
It is expected that the National Day , July 4 ,
will be celebrated this year with greater en
thusiasm than ever before.
The Nebraska Assembly has its constituency
throughout the State , and with many in West
ern Iowa. Chautauquans would not think the
year complete without the mutual greetings ,
round tables , vesper seryices , and inspiration
thev get at Crete. But for Chautauqua and
what it represents , tho Assembly would never
have been founded. A hearty invitation is ex
tended to all Chautauquans to spend the en-
tiro time of the session in the groves on the
banks of the Big Blue River at Crete.

A. E. DUNNING , Supt. of Instruction.
Literary Note From The Century Co.
Mr. JosErn Jefferson has been engaged
for a number of years upon his autobiography ,
which will soon begin to appear in Tho Cent
ury. No more interesting record of a life up
on the stage could bo laid before tho Ameri
can public , and Mr. Jefferson's personality is
perhaps more sympathetic to the people of
this country than that of any actor we have
had. He is the fourth in a generation of ac
tors , and , with his children and grandchildren
upon the sage , there arc six generations of
actors among tho Jeffersons. The record
which he has made of the early days of the
American stage is said to be peculiarly inter
esting , especially tho story of his travels as a
boy in his father's company , when thej would
settle down for a season in a Western town
and extemporize their own theater.
The autobiography will begin in The Century
during the coming autumn , and tho install
ments will be illustrated with a portrait gal
lery of distinguished actors.
Lower House So/ons.
[ From the Omaha Bee.l
Hon. Justin A. Wilcox , of Red Willow , was
born in Canaan , Columbia county , New York ,
and lived on a farm until he was nineteen
years of age. He enlisted in August , 1862 , in
the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth New
York , and aiterwards accepted the commis
sion of lieutenent in the Thirty-eigthth United
States colored troops , and served till tho close
Df the war. In 1870 he moved to Gilman , 111. ,
ind for two years followed the plow and then
engaged in merchandising. In 18Si he
uoved his stock of goods to McCook , in this
rtate , and opened out a general store. Mr.
IVilcox is one of tho silent members , though
ivhen necessary he can talk and say what he
neans. As a member of the committee on ,
: laims he signed the minority report in fight-
tig the § 50,000 claim of ex-Governor Butler ,
ind materially aided in defeating the measure
3n the floor of the house.
TRUE TO NAME.
These who appreciate the value of nursery
stock , trees and plants true to name and in
perfect condition , should write to Crete nurs-
jries , Crete , Nebraska , for their catalogue
md printed matter giving full description of
such varieties as they have found best adapt
: d to Central Nebraska , together with sug
gestions for planting the same. Their nurs-
; ries are located 20 niihs S.V. . of Lincoln on
he main line of the 13. & JT. , and in 17 years
'
hey have built up a large business. On large
> rders they pay fare both ways of customers
o come and see them and examine their
itock , by deducting travelling expenses from
> ill purchased. Everything ordered before
tfarch 2oth will be delivered in McCook free
> f charge , as the Supt , has sold three-fourths
) f a car load , with which additional orders
: an be packed. No sale yard. Order early.

Subscribers Pay Up.
It is not the habit of the publisher to do
lersisteut dunning ; but there is a tide in the

iccessary , in addition to glory. An urgent
nvitation is extended our delinquent sub
scribers to call at once and settle up. In
