CHAUTAUQUA.


S. r. Gold, the secretary of
the Big Stone chautauqua, in the
following letter gives an outline
of the main features of this sea-
sons program:
Big Stone City, May 25, '02.
The impression seems to have
cotton abroad that we are not
going to have a Chautauqua
program at Big Stone this
season. This impression prob
ably originated from the fact
that there was slight misunder
standing in regard to transpor ta-
ton facilities, which has been
overcome, and the program will
be put on as originally outlined
with a number of additional
features, making it unquestion-
ably the strongest program that
has ever been given from the
platform of the Big Stone
Chatauqua. Among the attrac-
tions will be the Sanford
Dodge Opera Co. for two nights,
Bishop Morrison with choir of
fifty trained singers of Geth-
semane Episcopal Church of
Minneapolis, this being the
largest church of that denomina-
thon in the west, and having the
largest and best trained choir of
any western church. This
choir will be here for week in
charge or their leader. We will
also have the Giant Colored
Quartette, Captain Richard P.
Hobson, the Arion Male
Quartette, Rose A Moore, who
has charge of Musicals at the
Auditorium Hotel in Chicago,
the noted soloist Miss E. Grace
Updegraff, Governor LaFollette
of Wisconsin, D. w. Robertson
the noted Manger of the Edison
Moving Pictures, Kendall Ladies
Quartette, Bishop Joyce, accom-
panied by his wife and Miss
Stone, the Chinese Missionary
and Singer, and in addition to
those mentioned above we have
already engaged a large mum Der
of speakers and entertainers, who
will fill the program for both
afternoon and evening and make
it one of the most complete and
attractive programs that we
have ever given to the public.
The Milwaukee railroad has
made special rates on all of their
lines for 100 miles each way from
Big Stone City. The accomoda-
tions at the grounds this year
will be better than ever before
Everyone is most cordially invit,
ed and will be taken care of tC
the very best of the ability of the
management.

Obituary..

The Elroy wis., Tribune, in
it's obituary of Francis Prevey,
father of G.. w. Prevey of this
place, says:
Francis Prevey was born near St.
Johns in the Province of Quebec,
October l6, 1922. At:the age ots II he
removed to Massachusetts where he
lived for l5 years around the towns of
Stock bridge, LenoX and PittStield.
In 1854 he removed to Falls River,
Wisconsin and in 1857 to the vicinity
of Elroy. After residence of s years
on his first homestead in the Mack
Valley he removed to the farm north
of Elroy where has since been the
family home.
Mr.. Prevey was married in 1S43 to
Mary Bissett at Canaan, Mass, and
twelve children were born to them.
One son died in infancy and the Oldest
son Frank having entered the army at
age of Is was killed at the battle of
Shiloh. The other children are all
living
Few families have remained so long
unbroken. Father and Mother lived
until their ten children were grown to
manhood and womanhOOd.
Mrs. Prevey died three years ago
breaking the union which had lasted
for 81 years.
Mr.. Prevey lived most Of the years
of his life on the farm. Having re-
moved to this country in early days of
it's settlement he endured all the hard
ships of pioneer life. BY hard work
and thrift he laid the foundation for
a prosperous old age and to see his
family all we'll provided for. Mr..
Prevey united himself with the first
| church that was organized in the
| neighborhood. He and most of his
| family were members of the y. b.
church for long period of years in
which that denomination maintained
an active church organization on the
| Fowler's Prairie circuit. The hospi-
| tality OF his home was ever freely and
genially extended, and SO far as his
means would permit, he was ever
ready to contribute to the moral up
building of the community.
Mr.. Prevey served in the lst Wis
consin Heavy Artillery and was hon
orably discharged in 1865. He was ar
honored member of Frank Prevey
Post which was named in honor O
his son. He joined the L. 0. O. F.
before leaving Ma assachusetts and was
one of the members in the order
that state.
The ten children who mourn the loss
of beloved father are: Mrs. Libbit
Harrington, Kenmore, N. D., Mrs
Jennie Peck, Glendale Wis, Charles
Prevey, Beardsley, Minn., George w
Prevey, Milbank, S. D., Mrs. Lull
Potter, Waterloo, la, Mrs. Ros,

Regardless Of Personal AiiiIations.
The contractors ef town have held

signatures follow:
We, the undersigned, do most SOL
emily and earnestly protest against the
general unrest caused by the Trades
Council of Morgantown.
While we are not opposed to the or
ganizatipn OF labor for legitimate par
poses, we realize and know that 10
this country it is the boast or our peo-
pie and the palladium OF our liberty
that every man has a right to work
and earn his own living and that of
his family without subscribing To any
creed, or joining any sect, society or
organization. We believe 10 the
rights OF the Individual, and that or
gained labor has no right TO say to
any man unless he joins the union he
shall not work.
Whenever ORGANIZED labor combines
to prevent Independent labor from
earning living for himself and those
Independent on it, then all honest,
just and fairminder men must arise
and say, you shall not take away from
an American citizen his rights either
moral~or civil because he does not
think as you do and does not belong
to the same organization you belong
to The welfare Of our city, the laws
Of our state and nation and the laws
Of God alike requires us to protect
the rights of the man who desires to
earn an honest living in the sweat Of
his brow without having to ask per-
mission faom any man or set of men.
Already the intimidation of non
union meu and threatened strike has
caused many persons who Intended to
build good homes and fine buildings
In our city TO abandon their enter
prlses. A continuance oflabor trou-
bles and threats OF general strike
and boy:ot will prove disastrous to
the welfare OF our city and the well
fare OF every craftsman as well as
every laboring man In the city.
There are now two or three jobs for
every workman and care should be
taken that there should not be In the
near future two or three workmen for
every job. When that time comes
the foreign element which has so dis
turbed labor here will go as it came
and leave our resident workmen with
more wisdom, less wreck and less
