The Chautauaua a Great snnne...

The Chautauqua Great Success.
The Mountain Chatauqua which is
now in its third week of a remarka-
bly, successful season, has lost none of
its interest to those who have been
attending the brilliant lectures and
witnessed the high class of entertain
ments placed before them by that
prince of fChatauquans, DIR. Davidson,
who has labored hard and earnestly
for long term of years to make the
MountainC Chautauqua the peer of any
assembly of its class throughout the
country. Today his efforts seem to
be crowned with success for with the
additional room afforded by the erec-
ton Of the great new auditorium with
its seating capacity of something
over 1000, at times it is hard for one
to find seat without crowding. This
was the case when Sam Jones deliver
ed his lectures at the Park on Mon
day of last week and we may expect
to see greater crowd of humanity
when the joint debate between Con
gresham Dolliver and Clark takes
place on Tuesday of next week, which
is also Grand Army Day.
This will be the last day of the ses-
sion of 1900 and it will be a record
breaker if the future is to be judged
by the past. The program for this
day will be interesting to every class
of people containing as it does a num-
Der of attractions.
At II o'clock Charles Carter and
wife of Chicago, will perform some
astonishing feats of magic and illu-
sions eaualling those performed by
the great Oriental jugglers. The
entertainment is both refined and
mystifying.
AT 2 O'Clock a concert of war songs,
familiar to all old soldiers and to
many of the present generation, will
be given. The great chorus and the
Chicago Glee Club, assisted by the
Hungarian orchestra, which has de-
lighted the great audiences during
the entire season, will also have part
in the entertainment.
Following the concert will come the
debate between two of the acknowl-
edged leaders of the Republican and
! Democratic parties respectively,
Hon. J. Prentis Dolliver, of Iowa,
and Hon. Champ Clark, of Missouri
Congressman Dolliver, born and
reared in this section of the country,
is the greatest orator of the present
Congress. He was favorably talked
of for the Vice Presidency prior to
the nomination of Gov. Roosevelt.
Congressman Clark is great wit
He is leader of the Democratic side of
Congress. The subject to be discuss
ed by these two intellectual giants is
one in which every man, woman and
child is interested as the present
campaign between the two great
parties is being waged along the line
imperialism and Expansion" 1t
may never be the pleasure of the peo-
pie of this community to hear this
subject discussed as intelligently as
it will be on this day and it will be a
day well spent to go to the Park if
for nothing else than to see these two
gentlemen and hear them talk.
The debate will be followed at 5
o'clock by camp fire when addresses
by distinguished visitors will be
made.
