A Successful Opening;.
The fourth assembly of the North
Platte Chautauqua opened Sunday
aftemson, and if the attendance at
the two sessions of the day are a guago
of the days to come, is safe to pre
dict that this will prove the most suc
cessful assembly of the four.
Tho equipment on the grounds this
year is better than heretofore, and
this is particularly true as regards the
seating accomodations of tho big tent,
which has a capacity of about one
thousand. More attention is also paid
,to ushering the crowd.
The opening session in the afternoon
was given over to a concert by the
Philharmonic orchestra, with Mrs.
Elizabeth Cramer nnd Horton Munger
as vocal soloists. This was without
question the most appreciated concert
ever given by a home organization, and
that this is true was attested by the
applause which followed the rendition
of each number. Particularly enjoyable
was the cornet solo by Earl Stamp, and
Mrs. Cramer and Mr. Munger received
generous applause, tho former respond
ing to nn encore.
At tho evening sessjpn tho first three
quarters of an hour was taken up with
a concert by the military band, which
greatly pleased tho audience- and the
appreciation was reflected in the
applause accorded each number.
The lecturer of the evening,
Thomas Brooks Fletcher, was then in
troduced and for an hour and a half
held tho close attention of his audience.
He took as his theme MTbe Tragedy of
tho Unprepared," not unproparedness
for the future life, but of tho present;
the lack of ambition to prepare our
selves for tho problems that present
themselves during our earthly enreer,
Mr. Fletcher is a rapid-firo talker, won
derfully dramatic, possesses a strong
personality, and tho points ho made,
and there were many of them, wore
most convincing nnd so presonted as
to have a lasting impression upon his
hearers. While nt times ho rumbled
somewhat from his theme, in doing so
ho scored points. He Is" a certainly 11
clever entertainer and few speakers
hold hiB hearers moro closely to him.
Yesterday morning Miss Norton be
gan her co'oking demonstrations to n
large audience of ladies. These demon
strations will continue each morning at
10:30 during the week. Miss Norton
was hero last year and comes this year
with added features to her work.
Miss Parlette also began her' work
with the children yesterday and will
dirert this feature each forenoon during
the week.
The Chautauqua chorus, which was
organized Saturday evening, meets each
afternoon at 1:30. This chorus will
present two selections from master
compositions during tho week.
The prelude to yesterday afternoon's
session was selections by tho Philhar
monic orchestra, followed by a lecturo
by Sydney Landon.
Last evening the band gave n half
hour concert, followed with selections
by tho Chautauqua chorus and later
Reno, the magician, gave ono of his
mystifying performances.
This afternoon the Chicago ladies'
orchestra will make their first appear
ance, and will also be on tho progrnm
this evening. They will also appear
Wednesday and Thursday nt tho alter
noon and evening sessions. This even
ing Langdon, the entertainer, will bo
the feaCure.
Mrs. G. W. Hoxio returned to Ogal-
alla Saturday, after spending n week in
town making arrangements for tho
erection of a nine-room residence on
west Fifth street. Tho plans are being
perfected by Architect Reynolds, and
bids for the construction will soon be
asked. The estimated cost is $0,500.
The Baptist lawn social held at the
homo of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Loudon
Friday evening was nn enjoyablo one
and largely attended by tho people of
thnt church. The premises were lighted
with Japanese and other lanterns and
presented a pretty appearance.
WOMEN I .have a wondorful money
maker. If you can give all or part
time ton clean, good-paying, permanent
business, write.

Library Notes
The North Platto Public Library is
open every week day from 2 to 0 p. m.
On Saturdays it is also open from 9 to
12 n. m. On Sunday afternoons tho
reading room. is open from 3 to 6. Tho
library now has 758 names on its
borrowers' list.
The experience of librarinns has.
proven that while people are prone to
read a great deal of fiction it is often
because they aro not aware of tho in
teresting books in a library that are
not fiction but fact. Among its auto
biographies this library has two which
are exceedingly interesting: "The
making of an American" by Jacob Riis
and "Twenty yenrs at tho HullHousa"
by Jano AdamB. No romance ever
written Is any moro fascinating than
Riis' story of his development into n
full-pledged American. Jano Adapis is
one oi the most remarkable figures in
tho present life of the United States.
There la probably no ono person in this
country todoy who is so closely in touch
with nil phases of its development ns
Miss Adnms ib. No single person has
done more to mako ideals realities than
sho has. Her story of the development
of Hull Houso is well worth roadlng.
Tho library has in its magazine rnck
at all times the current numbers of the
Scientific American, Travel, Collier's,
House Beautiful, Life, North American
Roview, Ladies Homo Journal, Review
of Reviews, Techinal World, Outlook,
World's Work, Saturday evening Post,
Scribners, American, Hnrper'a,,
Woman's Home Companion, Every
body's nnd tho Century. The librarian
will bo glad to welcome any ono to the
reading room and its privileges.
