A Serious Mistake.

The Chautauqua board of direc-
tors have made a mistake which may
prove serious.
OF course they are not aware of
the fact and IL was only by over
hearing the conversation of some
young ladies this morning that the
reporter learned wherein the error
had been made. The young ladies
referred TO were enjoying a glass
soda at a well known cold drink
stand. While slipping the sparkling
libation they were engaged in dis
cussion of the Chautauqua.
at Is just perfectly horrible, :"
said one. Just to think, last year
the state encampment and Chautau-
qua were held at the same time and
the young men could not be here
and this year the same thing has
occurred again. o, tell you it is
perfectly shameful"
Bug chimed In young lady No. .,
"you take entirely too gloomy q
view OF the situation. Just think of
the young men who will be here from
distance
"But the worst Of all remarked
No. 3, sis that the Chautauqua Is
being held just when the moon
shines the brightest. "

gent there were quite a number of
boys in knee pants who came to tes-
tify against saloon men on alleged
charges Of selling to minors.
The forenoon and most OF the af-
ternoon was devoted by the court
in calling eases and setting them
