PARAMOUNT CHAUTAUQUA.
GOOD ATTENDANCE AND MUCH IN
TEREsT THE FIRST DAY.
Tents and Hotels Well Oecupied-In-
teresting Afternoon and Even
ing PrOgramme-sOme
Who Are There.

Never ia its history has FairmOunt park
been so beautifully clad in its summer
garments of verdure and flowers as yester-
day on the occasion of the opening of the
second annual Fairmount Chautauqua.
Promptly at p. m, Conductor John Behr
gave to a picked orchestra, composed of
fifty soloists from the Symphony orchestra,
the signal which started what promises to
be one of the most successful gatherings
of this kind this year. The Ministers in
stitute was characterized especially by in
terest in the subject under discussion. DR..
w. l.. Davidson in introducing DR.. Park
hurst gave a short history of Chautauqua
work, and traced the growth of the move
ment from its original start-the New York
Chautauqua assembly.
DR.. Parkhurst, who is not, might be
imagined from his name, a reformer in the
advanced definition of that term, has one
particular fad, and that is his theory that
the church and literary work should go
hand in hand, and he proved the correct
ness of his ideas in his talk most conclu-
sively, when he told the ministers how
much the Chautauqua movement had done
for the churches in the last year.
At the w. c. T. L. school of methods,
Miss Ellen Morris welcomed the audience
In very happy manner, and proceeded
with the organization of classes and plan
ming for some good hard work through the
coming sessions
At O'Clock, Professor C. c. Case, who is

lied the Chautauqua chorus. The attend

day or two. There were enough present,
however. to make Professor Case, who is
an enthusiast in his profession in spite of
his white hair, speak most encouragingly
OF the prospect.
AT the evening meeting Mr.. Davidson. in
his opening address, outlined the work for
the coming twelve days. and said he was
greatly encouraged over the prospects for
a successful meeting, for, notwithstanding
the somewhat small audience, the attend
ance was more than double that Of the
opening meeting last year.
During the days., said DR.. Davidson,
we will have the study and solid work
and the heavier addresses: the evenings
will be largely in the nature of entertain
ments and concerts. and will be devoted
mere to social pleasure and recreation"
The Smalley concert company gave their
initial concert, and made a very favorable
impression. The solo work of the quartette
and Miss Maude Carruthers was especially
pleasing. DR.. Davidson's magniscope eXcit
ed much interested cOmmendation. This is
the first magniscope shown in Kansas City,
and the doctor expects to make frequent
use of II. He has a large collection of |
views of all sorts, and they will no doubt
afford much pleasure AND amusement to
many who would not otherwise have an
of seeing one of the newest |
and most entertaining members of the |
magic lantern family.

Attempt Was to Have Been Made to
Arrest Them Yesterday-Sensa-
tiOnaI Stories to the Mas
sacre of White Settlers
wholly UnfOunded.

Helena, Mont, June News from Chey-
enne agency to-day is meager. The arrest
of Indians by civil authorities was to have
been attempted to-day, but the result will
not be known before tomorrow. A genuine
scare no doubt exists among settlers In the
valley contiguous to the reservation. State
officials believe the situation exaggerated,
but at the same time believe all prepara-
tions should be made to guard against an
outbreak by hotheaded young Indians.
Sensational reports in regard to killing of
settlers, sent out by special correspondents,
are entirely without foundation.
Washington, June l.-Secretary Bliss to-
night wired instructions to Indian Agent
Stouch, whose reservation is the seat of the
Cheyenne Indian trouble. directing him i'm
mediately 10 notify the department of the
situation, and TO use every effort to deliver
the Indian fugitives TO the civil officers
showing satisfactory credentials. This de-
cision was reached after conference be-
tween Acting Secretary of the Interior
Ryan, Acting Commissioner of Indian At
fairs Smith and Attorney General McKen-
ma and his adjutant general. The report
which Captain StouCh mailed on May %,
and which reached here to-day, was read,
together with dispatches to the president
and Senator Carter.
The officials are awaiting with considera-
BILE uneasiness the report from the agent
which he was peremptorily directed TO tel
egraph at once.
The Northern Cheyennes are known
here as warlike band, easily intiamed,
whose actions cannot be too closely guard
ed
Secretary Bliss said in his message TO
Agent Stouch:
You should cooperate with the duly
authorized civil officers as far as prac-
ticable in the execution of the law. Wire
the facts and situation Immediately. Mean
time, use every available means to ap-
hon hn off md H.1ir
the duly authorized civil officers, avoiding
violence if possible. The idea is that the
law must be executed, but in its execution
you are to exercise sound, prudential judg-
ment, to the end that there may be no
bloodshed if by any possibility that can
be avoided"
