A NEW DARKEY MUSIC BY
THE NASHVILLE SERENADERS
And Yet There is a Retaining of the
Sweet Melodies of the Old South.
The Nashville Serenaders is the
opening musical attraction on our
; Chautauqua this summer.
The old southern darkey melodies
ha'<- always been popular. There have
been jubilee singers on the Chautau
qua platform almost since there was a
Chautauqua. They sang plantation
melodics and songs of the old darkey
camp-meeting
And although there was much in the
*~*”g*rr.r
The Nashville Serenaders
music of the southern darkey of a
score of years ago that appealed to
pt>! :lar audiences because of its na
tive richness, its popularity might soon
have died out.
Thr jubilee company was first a
•y and "it took." But there was a
lack or training apparent. And as is
the case in the presenting of music
: from year tc year whether at a Chau
i tau 'tua or at any other time, stand
ards must constantly be raised, bo
] cause tastes are being educated to a
better and better music.
And the old jubilee company's lack
of training failed them.
Now—
—we have a new jubilee company.
They have been trained the mem
bers of this company were selected
from the largest and strongest negro
schools of the Southland where large
and powerful conservatories have been
built up and the negro has had the
adrantr.se of a refining and cultivat
ing influence.
Raiuh Dunbar is the organizing
genius at the head of the department
of or - lization for the Redpath Ly
ceum Bureau.
He is the organizer of the Nashville
Ser< naders, and their success has been
I phenomenal in the presenting of a
; new class of darkey music, retaining
the f» pt melodies of the old South.
In their ten weeks' engagement with
1 the Redpath-Horner Chautauquas, this
company makes ten Sunday appear
ances. This Sunday program is made
up altogether of sa red music.
They will be here one day only.
The East Waking Up.
Even the old staid East has become
I alive to the Chautauqua's worth. The
- Chautauqua was started in the East
fifty years ago on old Chautauqua
| Lake in New York. But it was
the one Eastern Chautauqua that
amounted to much. It is the West
| that has made the Chautauqua what
it is today. The State of Nebraska
. alone has eighty-one summer assem
j blies. The Kedpath-Horner Chautau
i quas number one hundred and thirty
• five, all between the Missouri and the
| Rockies; there are more than sixty
j Red path-Vaster Chautauquas between
| the Missouri and the Mississippi, and
! the Red path Lyceum Bureau manages
: thirty-si* Chautauquas out of Chicago.
• That makes a total of two hundr^l
l and forty. This summer a Chautauqua
system has been started in the East,
which already has a healthy growth.

You like music, entertainment and lectures
by big, brainy men.
A week of letting-up in your work—of
mixing recreation and care—is none too
much. *
If you are a busy person, you need the
inspiration of this Chautauqua. You will
get a thousand new ideas, and old ideas you
will see in a new way.
It's worth what it costs—15 cents a num

Get the tickets and all go.

Loup City to get
Ganada-to Gulf Line
President Beush&usen, of the Com
mercial Club, has received a letter
from the promotors of the Ganada
to-the-Gulf Line to be placed before
the club to ask for the following
information:
General statistics and information
about Sherman county and Loup
City.
Plat showing the best route for
railroad grade from either Pleasanton
or Ravenna to Loup City and from
Loup City northward to a point on
the north side of Davis Creek town
ship in Valley county, sav at the
northwest corner of Sec. 3-17-14 and
the northeast corner of Sec. 4-17.14,
giving special refereuae to an easy
grade and slight curvature and nota
tions. or a letter stating why it is the
best route.
The above is asked for to be made
into exhibits and wi th a large amount
of similar information forwarded to
London.
I he projectors write: Loup City is
almost the only ciiy between Hutch
ison. Kas., and Carrington N. Dak.,
that we have not had the pleasure of
meeting the Commercial Club, but
when we passed through your city we
were in somewhat of a hurry and
only met two or three of your gentle
men- Mr. L. Hansen and yourself.
We are trying to get this road built
and believe we now have the money
secured. We have just returned from
Carrington. The London men were
highly pleased with the entire route.
They are about now arriving in Eng
land and expect to return iu August
with.engineers. The route you ad
vise should be the best obtainable and
the one that will stand the test when
tried out by the engineers. Keep in
mind that the desire is to find the
best route from Kearney to Loup
City and Ord by the most direct
route.
Who can read between the lines
and fail to see that Loup City has
the best of chances for being on the
line of the new proposed C&nada-to
the-Gulf road?
The prohibition party is going to
beat Teddy Roosevelt's new party to
it, by capturing the name “progres
sive" as their new party title.
The Fourth of 1912
I
This year's glorious fourth was re
I eeived in this section with a goodly
q uantity of moisture, enthusiasm and
happy feeling. The day opened tine,
and because of the rains proceeding
on a couple of days, everybody wel
comed the day with gladness and it
seemed was to continue one round of
pleasure. But the people made no
reckoning with Jupiter Pluvius, who
.without consulting the people, con
cluded to give them one of his glori
ous downpours. Old J. P. waited till
the afternoon, when eveybody was
everywhere he, she or it wished to go
in their holiday attire and good feel
ings. when he opened his flood gates
and let 'er went with a good and
plenty.
jenner s rark openea eariy ior uie
big crowds, which came in on the
early trains, and wagons, autos and
otlier conveyances, filling our streets
and tiie boulevard leading to the park
and tiie day continued in its best be
haviour till about the middle of the
afternoon, when a heavy cloud came
up from tiie south and shortly aiter
gave old nature and humanity at the
park and all who were not fortunate
enough to get under shelter, a splen
did drenching, splendid because it
provided the thirsty earth with a
moisture at once welcome by both
drenched and dry humanity. The
ball game between Loup City and
Ashton second nines had reached the
second half of the sixth inning and
stood 3 to 3, when just as Loup City
had scored one inuing the rain came,
the game was called off and the home
team was declared w inner in as pretty
and ciosely contested game as bad
been seen on the Loup City diamond.
And you should have seen the crowd
at the finish—dainty white dresses
bedraggled, hats ruined, fine clothes
soaked, shoes resembling mud scows—
those of the male suasion, we mean,
stalking through the moist mixture
of clay and water—oh 'twas fine.
Down in the park, the vaudeville
show had just gotten under full sway
the booths were parting the kids
from their money, glee and merri
ment in full tune, when all at once
a change came over the spirit of their
day dreams of a big day and the
clouds opened in full force. However
a half hour later Old Sol came out,
began his drying process and by night
fall the park was again alive to the
festivities of the day and brought a
good finish of fireworks and the dance
and the amusement features were
keept going, the latter lasting till
midnight and after. The fireworks
i were the best ever given by Mr. Jen
ner, and equal in number and splen
dor to those given at Grand Island
the same day. The park was beau
tifully lighted with electricity fur
nished by our elecric lighting plant,
and while the whole day was a losing
financial game to the park rnanage
mant because of the rain god, yet it
did not deter Mr. Jenner from giving
the patrons of his fine resort every
thing possible on the program.
Owing to the numerous Fourth of
J uly celebrations over the county and
in other towns, the crowd in Loup
City was correspondingly smaller.
Comstock caught a goodly number of
our town people, because our first
baseball team was on there to beat
Arcadia, which they did to a nicetv,
winning by the general slaughter of
the Arcadia innocents by a score of
15 to 0. This took the Arcadians to
Comstock, who usually come to Loup
city to celebrate, besides taking
away so many of our own people.
Numerous celebrations throughout
Sherman county also depleted the
crowd here, Wiggle Creek haring one
i on which was a success, despite the
i fact that they caught the same big
i rain which visited this city.
Up at Baillie grove the celebraters
were more fortunate as they escaped
our big rain, it not reaching beyond
the river on the west. They report
a fine time there.
Grand Island failed to take a large
number from here, only some 31 round
trip tickets being sold, but the extra
train up from there made up for the
loss from Rockville, Boelusand other
points nearer the Island. Those
who went down, however, report a
big time.
Only one accident has ceen report
ed as occuring at Loup City the
Fourth, being caused by the heavy
wind attachment to the storm blow
ing out the temporary board front of
Makowski’s new building, injuring
the back of Mr. John Trompke, a far
mer living down near Austin, who
was struck by the falling boards in
passing the building. However, he
was not seriously injured. There
were bo other accidents from any of
the nearby celebrations so far as’ re
ported.
All in ail, the day was a most en
joyable one in the main, and will pass
into history as the most safe and sane
on record.
Notes of New Road
A mass meeting of citizens was
called at Minden last week to further
consider the proposition of the Kear
ney & Beloit railroad and in getting
them to change their survey and en
er Minden. The question of getting
this road is one that Minden regards
with a good deal of importance.
The Broken Bow people and officials
of the Commercial club there are
looking up the question of the pro
posed north and south line for which
Kearney recently voted bonds. The
Broken Bow people are asking for in
formation on the project, and if the
road is to be built, will work to se
cure it for their town.
The promoters of the Canada-to-tbe
Gulf railroad were in Ainsworth last
week. A mass meeting of the citizens
met at the Commercial Club rooms to
hear from the promoters and what
the road proposes to da A committee
was appointed to investigate the
proposed route ana see what could be
done to interest officials in running
the rend through Brown county.
