The Chautauqua Summary Taken Up Where We Left Off Last Week THURSDAY The Thursday program was opened by the LaDell-Fox Con cert Co., in several selections which were well received, and all were sorry when their program was brought to a close. Ok Sat) ell i Concert f Co>»pa»H ’ ,''C, of Cniwidn Hon. J- G. Camp proved to be all that was expected on “Truth and Shams’’ was one of the best ever listened to by our people. Mr. Camp is I called “The orator of the South’’ and and his talk T h u r s (1 a y | proved him worthy o \ the title. There was not a dry sentence in it. and the audience was held in wrapt attention from start to finish. It is to be hoped that Mr. Camp can be obtained for the program next year. The evening was given over to the LaDell-Fox Co., who gave quite an extended program. Miss LaDell is a reader of reputation and, was forced to respond to sev eral encores. Her child work is especially fine. George Fox is master of the violin. He gave several splendid selections which were of rare merit. The vocalist Miss Bertha Crawford sings with splendid expression and has a de lightful soprano voice of great range and sweetness. All were sorry when this splendid musical program was brought to a close. FRIDAY Notwithstanding the extreme heat on Friday afternoon, the ta bernacle was comfortably tilled at the opening of the program. Those assembled were first enter tained by the speakers in the W. C. T. U. contest. This was a feature unexpected and proved very entertaining, as each young lady presented her subject in splendid style. Then followed a short prelude by Smith & Gorton in clay modeling, Rev. Sam Small was introduced at 3 o’clock and held his audience in close attention for more than an hour in his presentation of “Fis Majesty, the Devil”. He showed them the devil in his dif ferent phases and explained who he was, what he was, where he is found, closing his remarks by saying there is no such person as the devil, but that the picture we have had of him was formed by the priests of olden times and should be discarded as a supersti tion. His lecture was exception ally good and greatly enjoyed. In the evening Smith & Gorton the Imperial Entertainers gave a splendid exhibition of their abil ity in recitations, impersonations, sand etchings, clav modeling, etc., which was very tine and proved one of the most entertaining fea tures of the entire assembly. A pleasing feature not on the program for Friday, was the ad dress before the teachers insti tute by Father Lohren of Daw son, on “Some things to think about and things to do.” It was both instructive and help ful. Among other good things Fathrer Lohren said: “First, the world today wants thinkers, The thinking man or woman are today climbing to the top. The question was asked why there were so few men in the teaching profession? The answer catne, men want an other profession, where they wont have to think so much and get more pay. Men want their work to be routine and don’t want to do so much thinking. Pleasure is not gained by thinking. The butterflies flip ping about give their whole en ergy to pleasure, but do no thinking. Pleasures are the golden fruit scattered along the path of life. Thinking is the power that puts power into motion. Again, the world owes you nothing, but you owe the world sympathy, love and kindness. You owe this. Tliiuk also that you cannot neglect the little thing's, for in the years to come you will be sorry for it. Teachers cannot become a wallflower, be a climbing rose, spreading beauty and joy every where. Think with sanity. Think of doing, of leading your pupils. Let's be happy, joyful, pleas ant, and look cheerful—when things go wrong be cheerful. Don't gret into the habit of pretty soon for that means never. Don’t go to the land of pretty soon but get busy. THE CONTEST. The contest given Friday af ternoon in the interest of the W. C. T. U, was much enjoyed. Following is the list of contest ants with their subjects: Innocent. Elma Cook, Verdon College Oil Cans.. .Bessie Bacon, Dawson The Scourge of the Republic. .Hazel Graham, Verdon The American Bluebeard... .Leona Barlow, Dawson Mother, a Promise. .Lizzie Fisher, Verdon Resubmissionist’s Story. .Alma Mayfield, Verdon Guilty. Francis Miller, Verdon Miss Bessie Bacon of .Dawson won first place and Miss Francis Miller of Verdon, second. SATURDAY Saturday’s program was a varied and most complete one and a good crowd was in atten dance. The Col onial Saxaphone Quartette furnished an excell ent musical program for both afternoon and evening, render ing ^some splendid selections which were greatly enjoyed, each one proving himself a fine muscian, while Miss Victoria, in her readings was exceptionally fine. The speaker for the afternoon Dr. Elliott A. Boyl, had been heard by a great many of our people last year, and they knew of the treat in store for them on this occasion, and the large crowd present at the appointed hour was evidence of his popu latity. His theme, “The Crea tion of Man,’’was an interesting one, in which he brought out many points which will be both helpful and instructive to his hearers for time to come. The special feature for the evening was Shungspave, the Indian magician, who entertain ed the people with his many wonderful feats in magic. He olso performed a peculiar to his race, which w’ere especially wierdand confusing. Saturday's program throughout was a good one and greatly enjoyed. SUNDAY Sunday, the closing day of cur second annual Chautauqua brought one of the largest crowds of the entire assembly. The weather was perfect and each train brought many visitors from our neighboring towns, until at the hour tor the opening of the program several thousand people were on the grounds. The very best of talent had been reserved for that day and all were eager for the opening num ber by the Norton orchestra band. This musical organization proved to be the best ever heard in our city. Every member was a solo* ist and an artist, and their soul inspiring music was just what was needed to lit one’s mind for the splendid address by Walter M- Chandler, which was to follow. His address on “The Trial of Jesus from a Lawyer’s Stand point,” was the most scholarly ever listened to by our people, and it was indeed a loss to those who did not hear it. In the evening Norton’s orchcs* tra again entertained the people and throughout the entire pro gram the tabernacle was packed They were forced to respond to encores in almost every number, and it was with regret that the program was brought to a close. All in all our Chautauqua was a decided success and that it will be an annual entertainment for our people is now almost an assured fact. Let all get together at the meeting on the 31st and work lor the success of our 1W Chautau* qua. EDW. B. COWLES OF FAIRBURY Is a Candidate for Commissioner of Public Lands and Buildings This is his platform: If the good looking and intelligent republicans of Nebraska will vote for me on September 1, and again on November SI, 1 will show them that a state officer can survive without swearing falsely and drawing his salary before the close of the quarter; that he can live without graft ing upon the pay rolls of the state, his wife, his uncles, his aunts or his cousins; that he can obey the statutes and per form his exact duty without bragging about it; that he can keep such a complete record of his official labors that lie will not need to be succeeded by his deputy.
