THE FIFTH ANNUAL
Black Hills Chautauqua Assembly
Began This Morning--Fair
Attendance.
EVERYTHING
Unless II Is the Weather. Which Like
Previous Years is Cool
and Rainy.

From Thursdays Daily.
If there were no other inducements that
the Chautauqua assembly holds out to Hot
Springs as one of the towns greatest at
fractions and business enterprises. the fact
that the first day almost invariably brings
rain would of itself be a strong plea for
retaining it here. for rain is more of a bles-
sing to many. perhaps. than the Chautau-
qua. Yet the rain. and the accompanying
cool weather. is always soon owe with.
while the Chautauqua lasts for some time
and the effects of both are lasting bene-
fits.
A new condition exists toward the
Chautauqua this year in a financial way.
The citizens have subscribed for between
800 and 400 Chautauqua tickets. These
they are entitled to and should get of the
secretary today. Then there should be
not less than 400 persons present at all of
the meetings. In all previous years peo-
pie have bought as they cared to go. This
year they have all obligated themselves for
tickets whether they get them or o Col.
Clough says I'VE want the people and if
we do have them we won't need so much
of Hot Springs money!" Under existing
circumstances it is economy for people
to go to the Chautauqua and expensive to
stay away.
Hot Springs is interested in the success
of the Chautauqua: every subscriber is di-
rectly interested: it is worth attending.
Each member of every family should go
if they can spare the time.
The opening has heretofore been in the
evening and the attendance was conse-
quently not.so large as usual. The morn
ing hour from 9 to 10 o'clock was devoted
to a study of the Bible text and an evan
gelical method of christian work. conduct
