Chautauqua Opens With
Fair Attendance.
.
North Platte's fourth annual Chau
tauqua opened Saturday evening with n
rather disappointing attendance con
sidering the tnlent announced for the
ovoning'; but it is evident that people
don't particularly enjoy political discus
sions in hot weather. Tho program for
the evening was in the nnture of a de
bate between Henry J. Allen, a Wash
ington correspondent fora progressiue
nowspapor, a progressive of the Roose
velt type and the man who seconded the
nomination of Roosevelt in 1912 Chicago
convention; nnd Congressman Scott, of
Ohio, who is somewhat of a stand
patter. Both are fluent talkers, and
each well held the close "attention
of the audience. During the evening
Helen Smith, a capable vocalist ren
derend several selections.
Sunday afternoon Chancellor Brad
ford gave n lecture that was highly
commended by his hearers; in fact it
was pronounced one of tho best addres
ses ever delivered at North Piatte
Chautauqua. As a prelude the Bennett
male quartette rendered a progrnm of
snered music nnd was heartly encored.
This quartette gave a concert in the
evening and received n most huaity
welcome. They wore followed by Ned
Woodman a chalk illustrator and talker
who is very good. (
Yesterday afternoon as a prelude the
Regnier3 gave a progrnm of vocal and
instrumental numbers, and was followed
by a lecture by Mrs. A,. C. Zehner, a
southern woman of marked brilliancy
of mind.
Last night The Regnicrs gave a
musicial prelude to a program of read
ings by Ellsworth Plumstead. two of
which were in co3tume. He is a good
entertainer.
This afternoon's feature will be a
musical program by the military girls,
and this evening George Aydolott will
deliver a lecture on "The Man of the
Hour." The Military Girls will . also
appear on the evening program.
Tomorrow afternoon tho Fisher Shipp
Co., who have been here before, will
fill the program with Impersonations
nnd musicial selections, and they will
again appear in the evening,' in addition
to a lecture by Dr. Mitchell. Chancellor
Bradford will also be on the aftornoon
progiam.
Thursday afternoon the Royal Italian
Guards Band will make its initial ap
pearance, this band in connection with
a lecture by F. E. Gordon constituting
the afternoon program. The Chautau"
qua will close Thursday evening with a
concert by the Guards Bond.
The talent nngaged for this Chautau
qua is above the average, ahd the pro
grams are sufliciently varied to please
all classes.
The'home builder should investigate
the liberal policy of our State Build
ing &. Loan Association to borrowers,
Nothing cheaper or more equitable,
bee Bratt & Coodman, Agents.
Earn Twenty Per Man.
Tho Military band, which played the
Rice & Dore Carnival on a fifteen per
cent basis, agreeing to pay the license
fee and water and light expense, finds
its net receipts are about 360, or
twenty dollars per man. This apportion
ment goes to each member as an indivi
dual, and not into the band treasury.

for sheep carensses tho first of the
year, tney are now paying uj cents per
pound. January 1, six months ago,
they paid 12 cents for poik loins at tho
packing houses. Now thoy pay 15i
cents for the same article. For veal
carcasses thoy paid 10J cents Jnnunry 1,
now they pay 17 cents. They then paid'
16J cents for bacon. Now they must
pay 25cents.
