All Winona awaits anxiously every bull

all other religious meetings. and during
his few years residence at Winona has
become a supreme favorite. He TO
have left to-day for Cincinnati. where he
was TO take a prominent part in the in
ternational Christian Endeavor convention.
A telegram was dispatched TO Cincinnati
this morning by DR.. Dickey telling of his
present critical condition.
DR.. Chapman's early life was spent at
Richmond Ind. where he lived with an
aunt. 1t was there that he decided to study
for the ministry. He was especially well
known in Philadelphia. where Tor several
years he was pastor OF Bethany Presby-
terian Church, which is attended and was
largely founded by John Wanamaker. In
recent years he has lived principally in New
York.
After the excitement and crowd OF yester-
day the grounds seemed rather deserted
to-day, although the number of people on
the grounds was as large as usual. The
Rev. Fred NJ. Stone. pastor OF the Metho-
dist Church of Warsaw, delivered a lecture
this afternoon. His subject was The
Weather" and he treated of the effects OF
climate in determining civilization. Its in
huence on character industry. art, litera-
ture, language. poetry and song was ex-
planned by the lecturer. Tonight the sec
ond concert of the season was held. The
musicians participating were the Mendels-
sohn Quartet of Cincinnati and Signor
Romeo Gorno and Fred j. Hoffman. Of
the Cincinnati College OF Music. The con-
cert delighted a large audience. Word has
been received that the Rev. John Mcneil
u. d, of Scotland, has sailed for America
DR.. Mcneil had been secured by Dr. Chap
man TO take a prominent part in the Bible
conference, but doubt had been expressed
by some as to whether he would be here
These fears are now set at rest by the news
of his sailing.
Although the grafton Of the day was de-
livered yesterday by Charles w. Fair
banks, Indianas senior senator. all political
spirit was entirely absent, with one ex-
ception, and that on the part of the Wi
mona Boys Club, an organization OF boys
from ten TO fourteen years old. The club
led Senator Fairbanks and the band from
the Winona Hotel TO the auditorium, and
they carried banners reading follows:

| tirely free from all political tendencies.
