The work Of building the tabernacle
for the Sunday" meetings was COM
pleted by Mr.. Jensen last Saturday, al
though he still has few carpenters
employed making the seats. The gen.
eral opinion is that the building COM

chairman, has made q very satisfactory
building for one that is to be only tenn
porsry. They are still waiting for the
carload OF sawdust, which Is TO be used

commenced the decoration of the build

Donald, who IL chairman OF the music
committee, Is desirous OF having a full

Is to be held on Friday evening Of this
week. Two pianos are being placed
according to plan which il the ar

form.
The finance committee, Mr.. @. A.
Linkins chairman, has made arrange
msnts with local bank whereby the
pledges secured for the expenses OF the
meeting have been used TO secure the
funds sufficient to carry forward the

cient to meet all expenses and thus no

Bluffs was here last week look
ing over picnic grounds with a
view to bringing their annual
picnic here. The condition of
the grounds was such that they
decided they couldn't use them
and they will go to Bennington,
Neb. The town should buy
these grounds and place them
in proper condition, then Wood
bine would be able to draw
many such gatherings. .-Wood-
bine Chronicle.
The shops, banks, postoffice
and many Of the business houses
closed this afternoon so that all
could hear the Lawson speech.

THE CHAuTAUOUA.

THE CHAuTAU0UA.
The Chautauqua at Missouri
Valley has come and gone, and
the reckning is now to be made
as to it's character, its good and
elevating influence on society.
That the Chautauqua was dis
tinguished for it's great States
men, Orators, Preachers, Sing
ers, Deliniators of character, is
not to be questioned. Iov. Folk
of Missouri, a man who stands
as a tower of strength in every
good work in his State, a man
of commanding personal appear
ance, and a determination to
lift the people of his State up to
a higher plain, morally, socially
and politically, thereby benefit
ing all classes, has won for him
a name to be honored by all
good men in this great nation.
On independence Day we had
Hon. Charles Landis, of lndi-
ana, a man who has held seat
in Congress from his State for
ten years, and while his lectuer
was more in the character of a
political speech than a Chautau-
qua lecture, yet it was a bright
picture of the greatness and
glory of the American nation,
and all who heard his address,
must have felt proud of Uncle
Sam.
On the 5th, we had the silver
tounged orator, Col. William j.
Bryan, of Nebraska, a man who
says more in an hour than any
other living man, in this or any
country bright forceful, and
grand. His subject: "The VAL
ue of an IDEAL" This naturally
lead him into the highway of
politics, but like Mr.. Lands, he
kept within his prerogatiye as a
platform lecturer, and none of
his hearers felt that he tramp
led on their corns, but the con-
clusions he reached were justi-
fled by the facts. Asa platform
orator he stands without a peer,
as citizen without a blemish, as
a Christian gentleman without
a charge, and as a man, the no
belest work of God, an honest
man.
On July 9Th we had the brave,
feerless seaman, Capt. Hobson,
the man who is said to have
kissed more ladies, or rather the
man whom more ladies kissed
than any other man in the world,
talked on "The American Ma
w." Capt. Hobson is a man of
commanding appearance, tall
and straight as a bean poll, a
bright eye and energetic motion
While some who heard him may
differ with him as to the policy
of building the strongest Amer
lean Navy in the world, none
doubted his honesty or patriot
ism, and honor his bravery.
Then we had the Missouri
Valley Coronet Band, the Jubi-
lee singers, Standard Entertain
ers, Moving Pictures, Preach
ers, Lady Reader. home talent
singers. Mrs. Sanders delight
ed the audience with her "lull-
aby," with violin accompani-
ment.

Thomas Lawson.
Thomas Lawson arrived this
morning at S:45 in his private
car. A large crowd was pres
ent at the depot to see the au-
thor of "Frenzied Finance. "
On the car with him was quite
a number of eastern newspaper
men who have been with him
on his tour. At 3o'clock he adj
dressed a large crowd at the
Chautauqua grounds, and at the
time of going to press his lect-
ure is still going on. Mr.. Law
son was introduced by Congress-
man Walter |. Smith.
The following is a sample of
M. Lawson's talk
THOMAS F. RYAN, KING OF FREN-
ZIED FINANCE.
You all know I hOllered
"Thief" so loudly in my story
"Frenzied Finance" that TIE
officers and directors of the
Equitable Life Insurance COM
pany got alarmed. and two fac
tions began grabbing for the
control of the institution so as
to put the evidence of past
robberies out of sight before
the people closed in on them.
They made such rumpus in
their fighting that the author
tiles were compelled to take
cognizance of the scandal, and
then in their panic such a con-
dition of rottenness was uncov-
cred that something had to be
done to straighten out the
muddle. 1t was one of those
sharp crises which even the
System" is sometimes unex-
pectedly confronted with, and
something had to be done
quickly to appease you Amer
ican people whose 40O,O0O,OOo
of savings were involved. How
did they deal with this terrific
situation their bars all down,
Wall street at a standstill, the
people of the country rising in
their wrath? Did they go out
and select some man of un-
questioned probity and charac-
ter to rehabilitate the devas-
tated institution? No, hurried.
ly they met at night and next
morning it was announced to
the world that the whole affair
had been properly, fairly and
squarely settled, and that the
people need have no further
fear for the safety of their
surplus, for one Thomas F. Ry-
an had purchased from the dis
credited Hyde five hundred and
two shares of the Equitable
stock for two and a half million
dollars and that he would see
that no one else got away with
the hundreds of millions of
your savings which the great
Equitable company holds. You
must know that these five hum
dred and two shares for which
Ryan was willing to pay two
and a half million are only en-
titled, legally, to receive $350C
per annum, in dividends, and
are actually worth, at the out
side, not more than 100000.
AS his representative, Mr.. Ry-
an appointed Mr.. Paul Morton,
the rebate-giving vice-pres-
ident of the Atchison railroad
to manage the corporation and
to see to it that you policy
holders are given asquare deal
Who are these two men te
whom you are asked to trust
the support of your wives and
children and mothers in case OF
your death? Personally | know

Smashed the Plate Glass.

This morning about three
O'Clock some one threw a stone
through the plate glass win
dow in the Walker block, oc-
cupied by M. S. Ellis dry goods
store and the Deur block occu-
yied by c. H. Bells bakery.
No cause is known for the deed
unless it was simple cussedness
as the rock throwers did not
steal anything from either
places. Why a man should
want to smash a plate glass
window is more than we can
understand.

say-so was good enough for me

tunes pets, one of natures
pickings, the best man in the
country today President
Roosevelt.
But about Ryan. You may
have read what a certain Balti-
more banker of high reputation
and standing, John Shelton
Williams, president of the Sea-
board air line, has been tell
ing about the manner in
which he obtained control
of this important railway
system for a comparatively
small sum of money, and how,
since, in defiance of promises
and agreements and other
pledges, he has held on to it,
bleeding it to the extent of
$2,000,000 by his clever mani
pulation. This distinguished
Baltimorean points to the new
owner OF the Equitable as a
"conscienceless man whose
strongest impulse is to gain
money, and his one robust pas
sion to keep it. Patient, mo-
tionless, able, he is an acquir-
ing machine and operates him
self for the purpose of getting
what others have," says banker
Williams. 1t was this Ryan
who emerged with a railway
franchise on Broadway, the
basis of the present Metropoli-
tan railway system, from the
Jake Sharp Doodle scandal in
New York. He helped w. C.
Whitney acquire the 3d-av
railroad after forcing down its
stock in the market and cor
nering it's owners. He formed
the notorious tobacco trust,
and also the national bank OF
Commerce in New York, anc
he is now working to secure
the building of the New Yorl
subway. Indeed, he is one Of
the very choicest representa-
tives of the genus "frenzied
financier" in this cou ntry to.
day, and in executing the i'm.
mense projects he has the dar-
ing to conceive he is deferred
by no scruples. 1t is not SC
many years ago that this Thorn
as +. Ryan, soon after put
ting together the various sub
companies which form the to.
bacco trust had been balked in
floating some hundred odd mil
lions of bonds and stocks on
the public at three or -four
times their real value, and was
pinched for ready money. Al
about this time a New York
bank examiner pounced dowr
suddenly on one of mis- trust
companies. Among the securi.
ties of this corporation, the
State trust company, was
note signed by one Dan Shea
for S2,000,000. AS it was 3
criminal offence for the trust
company to loan on any one
name, never mind how good
the collateral, over a small.
fraction of the amount of this
note, the examiner called in
the officers and directors and
gave them a choice of telling
what they knew about Mr.. Shea
or summoning them before the
grand jury. Thereupon Mr.
Ryan, boldly announced that
Shea was his l4-year-old office
boy on $6.50a week. This is
the same Thomas F. Ryan who
has been called in as the savoil
of the 100000 policyholders OF
the Equitable with the $780,
100000 odd of accumulated
funds. He is a sturdy and
powerful person, this same
Ryan, and if you think the dis
covery of this transaction phaz-
ed him, you don't realize the
caliber of a Wall-st winner.
He weathered the storm all
right, transferred all his tobac-
co stocks and bonds to the

on Lords Day, and we must not
forget to note the wonderful
and captivating accomplish
ment of Miss Stire, of Logan, in
her gift of whistling, which de-
lighted all present, and this is
an accomplishment, which we
have no doubt, will call her to
a wider field to display her won
derful accomplishment.
Take it all in all, this meet
has marked another move in an
upward tendency of the public,
who will, in the future, demand
"a higher moral and intellectual
plain for all social amusement,
discarding all light, and doubt
full performances which lacks
culture, education, and moral
thought.
Our Chautauqua has, at least,
been an intellectual success. -
No Chautauqua in the state has
been able to present such an
array Of talent as ours, and Mr..
Maus, the manager, has succeed
lin filling every promise made
our people in the manner of Sc
lecting entertainers, and deser-
YES the thanks of all. We can
not close without a kind word
for our home cornet band which
50 materially added to the en-
joyment of the meeting, intact
it would be like playing Yankee
Doodle with the doodle left out,
as to try to run Chautauqua in
Missouri Valley without our
Cornet Band.
On next Wednesday, July IL,
we have the great Thomas w.
Lawson, in his "Frenzied FL
nance" a lecture that has STAR
teled the financial world, and a
lecture that every American
citizen should hear.
