Good actions crown themselves with lasting days
| Who well deserves needs not anothef's praise
Heath.
However true. these lines, it is only
just to praise the successful efforts OF the
Chautauqua people. Yet we will omit
that part and set down existing facts, and
let each mind be Its judge and jury.
Through the kindness of the efficient
management ofthe Assembly, the News
ITEM was provided with a passport thai
privileged us to remain an entire day and
to eat, drink and be merry, which is made
possible by the well managed affairs and
the care exercised by the officers and their
subordinates.
| In the fulfllment Of this accepted in
vtation we embraced the first opportunity
that presented itself Saturday morning
and consigned ourself to the excellent care
of our genial Conductor Knipe, whose
pleasant manner makes the outset OF ones
journey full of radiant hope and joyous
expectations, providing his train on the
w. X N. B. is in regular accord with the
schedule time and no one is seriously
conflicting with his rules regarding the
expectoraton of tobacco extract on the
coach floors.
AS to the Chautauqua, limited space
prevents of going into detail in telling our
readers of all that is to be seen, heard and
enjoyed at this popular resort which is as
yet in its infancy, but growing wonderfully.
The one theme OF wondering comment
is the marvellous transformation which
has taken place since the close of last
season. Several thousand dollars would
hardly cover the substantial Improvements
and amusement ventures that have been
rife throughout the entire year. All elias
ses of artizans have been kept busy build
ing, painting, grading streets and beauti-
flying the place generally. In fact wher-
ever one may look it will be observed
that the painters art has been called in
to requisilion to beautiiy the premises.
A stroll on one of the long avenues to its
extreme end will reveal the expenditure
of many dollars IN making preparations
for the amusement of the younger contin-
gent with a gymnasium and bowling alley,
and to the close observer many new amuse-
ments have been provided for that prove
very acceptable to visitors. A bright and
newsy morning paper is published on the
grounds this season. Such excellent
talents as the Park Sisters, The New
Century Quartette Co., Eli Perkins Mrs.
Bertha Kuuz Baker and many others
ranking high as entertainers, can be en-
joyed. A visit to the Chautauqua is time
and money well spent.

Gen. PelIieux Creates a Sensation
During the Zola Trial.

Paris, Feb 17.-Gen. PellieuX made a
sensation on the stand Wednesday in
the lola trial. He attacked the testi-
mony of the lola handwriting experts
and protested against the admission of
the evidence of amateur experts who
have not seen the original bordereau."
He intimated that Col. Picquart had
written the bordereau, and when M.
Laborie asked that Col. Picquart be
summoned to hear his evidence the
judge refused to call him. Gen. Pei
lieuX continued, and in one of his out
bursts exclaimed:
81 have the soul of a soldier, which re-
volts at hearing the Infamous aspersions
showered upon us, and 1 can keep silence
no longer. l cannot stand still and see men
trying to detach the army from it's chiefs,
for if the soldiers cease to have confidence
in them, what will the chiefs do in the day
of danger, which is, perhaps, nearer than
people think? Then, gentlemen Of the jury,
your sons would be led to simple butchery,
but at the same time NJ lola will have
gained a fresh victory, and will have
achieved a new debacle and will be able to
lay his history before Europe, from which
France has been wiped out
On leaving the witness stand the gen.
eral was long and loudly cheered. The
presiding judge refused to allow M. La
borie to make reply to Gen. Pellieux
M. Laborie then lodged formal protest
against the ruling of the presiding
judge. He reproached Gen. Pellieux
with telling the jury that they might
shortly have war.
Paris, Feb. 19.-When M. lola left
the palace of justice Friday night he
was greeted with storm of Kisses and
derisive cries, and the authorities were
obliged to protect his carriage with a
double Gordon of police. On reaching
the st. Michael bridge the mob made
murderous rush for the carriage, but
the police threw themselves between
the vehicle and the mob, and series
of miniature battles ensued. Ultimate
ly the police drove the mob back and
M. lola was enable to proceed without
further molestation. A number of ar
rests made, but ali those who were
taken into custody were released later
in the day.

There will be large additions to the

valley country in the early spring.
The Great Northern railroad has al
ready arranged to run three special
trains to st. Paul to accommodate
them. The present indications are
that the new settlers will number over
1000 people. This is larger than the
movement last year, when about 1, 500
settled in Northern Dakota 1t is
probable that the number will grow;
additions are being constantly made
to the number already listed for trans
portation. One special train will
leave ST. Paul March %. another March
80. and third one April 6. The people
come from Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, In
