are already in correspondence with
architects and will have the plans
this week. No waiting by these
Chautauqua hustlers till the frost is
out of the GROUND, before begin
ming building operations. The
new auditorium is expected to
comfortably seat over a thousand
people, None too large for the
growing assembly. The stage will
be about 24x3O- large enough for
staging any attraction that may be
offered. No centre POSTS wholly
unobstructed view Of the stage.
II Good Idea.
, The hotel will be run under a
new plan this year. The hotel
building proper will be used fo1
lodging purposes only. Restaur-
ant privileges will be granted to
several persons. So that atten-
dants at the Chautauqua may have
a choice of where to get their
meals. There being competition
in this line, each caterer will strive
to set up the best meals, and at
such prices as will draw the crowds.
SfabIing Accommodation.
Farmers in attendance at the
Chautauqua can rely on the state
ment Of the directors that there
will be arrangements made where
by stabling can be had at the least
possible expense, probably so to
75per cent less than previous years.
Sleeping Accommodation.
The assembly was splendidly adj
vertised last year. In fact the
crowds in attendance were SO great
at times that accommodation, in
the way of sleeping, we're wholly
inadequate. This will not happen
again, for arrangements will be
made whereby all will find beds.
che Official Program.
The program for the 1900 assem-
oily will be out and ready for dis
tribution thirty days before the
Chautauqua begins. It will be
profusely illustrated. Appear
ances indicate that the daily at
tendance for this year will exceed
that of 1899 one hundred per cent
We repeat: Who fails to attend
the Chautauqua this year will miss
a great treat.

The Latest X Ray Invention

Is the Endoscope, which is for the
purpose of examining the interior
of the stomach. It is claimed, that
with this instrument, the treat
ment of stomach troubles will be
revolutionized, as it locates the
cause of disease. With due re-
spect to science, however, would
state that the causes of stomach
troubles have been known for the
past fifty years, and likewise their
cure, which is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, a medicine that has many
imitators, but no equals. It cures
dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness,
constipation, nervousness, in.
somnia. It also prevents malaria,
fever and ague, and keeps the
bowels regular. When not feeling
right, take dose. It is the
standard medicine of the American
people. Look for private revenue

Chautauqua Chat 1@ ~
What the Directors Doing
The 1900 Assembly Will Be Biggest

One of the least enthusiastic
Chautauquans in the state has
said: IF there was only railroad
to the Chautauqua, some way of
getting to and from the grounds
quickly and with ease, there is no
doubt about the possibilities of
making it great affair." Well,
we have got the easy and quick
way Of getting to and from the
grounds, and cheaply too. The
association have written contract
with the builder Of the road that
the round trip fare is to be but Is
cents. The actual distance from
tbs station in Devils Lake to the
station on the Chautauqua ground,
is five miles. tbs calculated that
but twelve minutes will be con-
sumed in making this distance.
Reaching the Grounds.
The trains will leave and arrive
on schedule time. What a con-
trast is this to the old way. Stand
ing on the street corner waiting for
a hack to come along, Then wait
ing for the hackman to get load;
then dragging weary hour on the
way. Now all one will have to do
is to take a comfortable seat in an
open canopy-top car, present your
commutation ticket to the conduc-
tor, and in little more than ten
minutes not to exceed fifteen at
the most-step from the car to the
Chautauqua platform.
Ube conveyances.
Mr.. McCulloch writes that he
has already purchaseda locomotive
and three open cars and suff-
cient quantity Of rails to lay the
main track and all sidings. He is
under bond of 81 900 to the asso-
citation to have everything in oper-
alton before the opening day of
this years assembly, which is June
Both.
Gnfbusiasm Increases.
No wonder our people are wax
ing up to the possibilities Of the
Chautauqua and are already ar
ranging to build cottages on the
grounds early. We could name a
dozen Devils Lake people who will
surely build this spring, and there
are several parties from MintQand
Grafton-both first class C8au-
Devils Lake inter-ocean., 1900-01-26

tauqua towns-who will build.
From Caudo not less than three,
and possibly six, people will erect
cottages. The largest and most
commodious. cottage now on the
grounds is that of Attorney Gen.
eral Cowan. Mr.. Cowan says that
he has never enjoyed an outing SO
much as the one at the Chautauqua
last year. With his family he
stayed weeks after the assembly
closed.
Start in Cine.
To those who intend to build,
Mr.. Cowan gives the following bit
Of advice: "Begin early; have the
very last nail driven at least week
before the opening of the assem-
bly,. Dig a'cellar, not little hole,
in the ground, but a decent cellar,
and arrange to get into it easily.
With good cellar one can have
butter, milk, eggs, meats and such
things always nice and fresh.''
Good advice from an experienced
hand. Where great many peo-
pie miss it is in waiting till the
opening day to move to the
grounds. It takes several days to
get settled, and by putting off NOV
ing till the assembly begins you are
not in position to enjoy the open
ing entertainments at the audi
torium.
Unparalleled Program.
This year the program is to be
SO attractive that not one enter
tainment should be missed. The
best way is to make your arrange
ments at the present time to attend
the whole assembly-buy season
ticket go to the grounds early
buy good tent-or better still,
build neat little cottage, and stay
till the assembly closes, and longer
if you find it agreeable.
There is no question but that the
program is to be immense. The
directors know what the people
want, and are bound to furnish
only the best Of talent. No medi-
ocre need apply.

only to be too weak to carry it out
when he seems nearest to begin
ming. And this shows? That a
heart to do is counted as much as
a doing; for the sum of the ac-
complished effort of any man is
small; but the reaction ofhis great
purposes upon his own heart is to
make his heart great and worthy,
because of it's impulses, to rank

the light and enjoy it; if you move
toward it and feel your oneness
with it in spirit, your shadows fall
behind. But, as limited at the
outset, the fact of light will cause

of vanishing and uncompleted

make mere scratches on the sur;
face of a vast task.
Never mind! it is better to have
a shadow that arises from the liv.
ing light of day, than to have nc
shadow at all by reason of revel.
ling in darkness. The shadows
merely tell us to our own comfort
that a mans work is more impor
tant than the man; and that ideas
and ideals are greater than any o1
us. They compel us, they have
their way with us, they use ou1
powers and cast in the result

gain of the whole.
