McCOOKS FIRST CHAUTAUQUA
It Came to a Close With Last Sunday Evenings Program
In the Methodist Church
SUBSTANTIAL ENCOURAGEMENT WAS EXTENDED
To Return Next Season About 350 Season Tickets Being Subscribed
For at the Closing Session People Feel They Received
Their Moneys Worth With Good Interest
The opening year of the McCook
Chautauqua closed on last Sunday even
ing It has been a success Not that
the attendance has been all that was
desired or even what was expected not
that the program was without fault or
blemish or that some failures and dis
appointments were not suffered but all
in all the instruction and entertainment
and education received by all who at
tended and which was available to all
was worth while of a high order pleas
ing inspiring of a quality to make the
fhinkinrr and patriotic citizen more
thoughtful and a greater lover of his
country The Tribune has but one re
gret worth mentioning namely mat
tho attendance was not greater and this
for two reasons first for tho advantage
of the people and second that the
financial success might have been more
pronounced to tho Redpath system
The musical numbers were not quite
all the people expected partly charge
able to train failures and this may be
stated of the moving picture feature of
the program However -the Hespor
ians the Hungarians and the Sterlings
gave a good and satisfactory account of
themselves and the Kirksmiths delight
ed everybody
And this brings us to the meat of tho
program the lectures
Carl Thompson gave the opening
number of this feature of the program
He is a preacher and legislator He
handled his subject Christian Social
ism with an earnestness which has
made him a force in his state Michigan
One of the strong men of the system
a substitute on the McCook program by
the way was Judge Alden of Boston

Eikenberry Clark
and picturesque and thoughtful and
humorous A Democratic leader on the
floor of the house and a leader in Amer
icas best thought along many lines
Of him there is but one regret he
should have been on the night program
and should have had a large hearing of
men for whom his address had peculiar
purpose
Dr Markley is of the oratorical type
Ilis idealism was appealing and he was
not without sense of humor His refer
ences to the topicMusic were espec
ially enjoyed
Henry George Jr is somewhat pro
saic and his subject matter anticipates
the day by several years perhaps never
the less you get his point of view clearly
and his pictures clinch the matter
Lincoln McConnell is of the Sam
Jones type and one must be able to ap
preciate the type to give him adequate
treatment He is a powerful and effec
tive sample of the type but not as ap
pealing in his surgery as the more deli
cate and refined evangelists and preach
ers His cuts aro raw by choice
And Thomas Brooks Fletcher He is
a whirlwind a roaster in excelsis He
is a disappointment and a surprise
His opening would do violence to a soph
omore in a literary debate and his finale
would do credit to a dramatic orator of
highest standard He held his audience
long beyond the time limit and they
were ready to hear him longer We
would hoar more of him again
As an entertainer Gilbert JMdredge
lills the bill without doing violence to
taste His impersonations are genuine
Tn David Harums horse trade he was

The addresses of J Mohammad AH chautauquettes
were especially worthf ul pleasing and Shortly after the afternoon program
the tent was blown down

on an old topic and it had the added doing considerable damage to the fine
force of native knowledge and canvas The evening program was

of a cultured high class Hindu of After the evening program in the
Christian education Methodist church Sunday about 350

Favor Chautauqua Next Year
A special session of the McCook
Commercial club was hold Monday eve
ning to consider tho mattor of having
or not having a chautauqua another
year It was the quite unanimous wish
to have the Redpath system roturn with
their chautauqua talent next summer
Messrs Orchard and Smith of tho
Bystem were present and paced their
offer before the club In fine they
asked the club and tho people of Mc
Cook to guarantee tho sale of 700 sea
son tickets
At the closing session of tho chautau
qua in the Methodist church Sunday
evening about 350 season tickets were
guaranteed During tho meeting of
the commercial club Monday evening
this guarantee was increased to about
425
It was deemed advisable to appoint a
committee to canvass the city at once
it being the common sentiment that
the required 700 season tickets could be
Becured without much delay or diffi
culty
Rev M B Carman II C Clapp Dr
C L Fahnestock Mrs Rose Bayless
and Mrs Augusta Anton were named as
the committee
They aro expected to take up this
matter at earliest convenience as tho
chautauqtua management is anxious to
secure our decision at earliest possible
date
Up to last night tho soliciting com
mittee has secured a total of 550 tickets
subscribed for next years chautauqua
The committee hopes to reach the entire
700 sales this week
Tho advantage and profit of such a
system are evident to all who attended
the sessions here last week The man
agement promises even a better program
next year and of course may bo expect
ed to profit by some of its experiences of
this season as to train schedules delays
and failures
Tho chautauqua system offers a cheap
plan for securing entertainment and in
struction of a high character
