The picnic-dance given by
the young ladies last night was
a most delightful affair. The
young people were conveyed by
means of buses to the fail
grounds amid much hilarity
Supper was to have been served
promptly at siS-thirty but as is
usually the case it was delayed
until seven-thirty. 1t goes
wiet.ou. saying that all there
was lsi. q the supper was a
memory. After spending con-
siderable time in viewing the
grounds and other amusements
the crowd was brought back to
town and taken up to Fountains
Hall. The hall was very arts
tically decorated in japanese
lanterns and cozy corners. The
young men, thinking the decor
ations were not extensive
enough proceeded to put up a
few more which added a great
deal to the effect. Neat little
red programmes were then
passed and a programme of
twenty-four numbers danced.
A most happy time was had by
all present. The young people
desire to thank Mr.. and Mrs.
Bob Harvey and Mr.. and Mrs.
Clint Norris for their delight
full chaperonage. this being
their first attempt in that line.

err was once preaching a tire
some sermon on the prophets,
telling their place in history, etc.
After preaching three hours,
without saying anything, the
preacher said: eve now come
to Malachi; what place shall
we give Malachi?" An old ell
der who was becoming very
inpatient and tired, arose and
said; Brother, you may give
Malachi my place; I am going
home"

Chautauuua Notes

ONdulduqud NCteS
Regardless of the rather dis
couraging weather, several
thousand people assembled on
the Chautauqua grounds Sun
day.
The first thing on the after
noon program was the sacred
concert given by the Jubilee
Singers. The concert was very
good and there is some fine
musical talent displayed in this
organization.
After concertof thirty min
utes' length, Prof. Newens of
Ames, gave several readings
which were very fine. Prof.
Newens has the art of playing
upon the emotions of his hear
ers in an excellent manner.
The speaker of the after
noon was then introduced, DIR.
Frank Smith of Chicago. His
subject was Religion" and his
sermon was one of the finest
ever delivered in this city and
displayed much talent and con-
secrated purpose. He is a young
man of striking personality, and
has a very graceful address.
He does not allow his hearers
to become weary, as he con-
stantly employees means to keep
the interest aroused. His SER
mon brought out many new
thoughts, among which was the
idea that many mistakes and
misunderstanding in life were
caused by the different views
that people take on the same
subjects. All those who did
not attend the sermon Sunday
afternoon missed a rare treat
and one of the best of the Chau-
tauqua course.
MONDAY EVENING.
Every day of the Chautauqua
grows better, but nothing can
surpass Mr.. Packard's clever
ness. Caricaturist, writer, COM
poser, talker- all this and more
is Alton Packard. The weather
interferes largely with the at
tendance and Monday evening
was especially trying, but Mr..
Packard was a success for all
that. Never once did one
think of the dull routine of
lifeand yet life was pictured
in many types of human nature.
A master hand and quick
thought transformed marble to
statue, Irishman to Jew, and
Death to Life. A few strokes
we'll done made his success,
and makes a good motto for all
who wish to achieve success.
The types of Uncle Sans fam
lily are familiar to all, and their
success is won by the combina-
tion of the best in all nations.
Mr.. Packard's caricatures are
interesting and wonderful, but
not more so than his verses.
Original verses from the writer
himself in his own clever man.
ner furnished much entertain
ment of a superior kind. Do
not fail to hear the original
thoughts and sayings by the
writers and thinkers them
selves and you have one of the
treats of your life.
THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
Bright and early people from
miles around began their jour-
ney to the Valley Park, where
they intended to celebrate the
best Fourth ever had in Harri-
son county. The celebration
was a success in every partic-
ular except the weather, but
the people of Missouri Valley
are making a brave effort to
attend in spite of the inclem-
ency of the weather. Every
day our citizens and friends
realize that this is the greatest
treat Missouri Valley has ever
had and the hope that there

Iennyson, Dooley and others.
The band is better every day
and the Jubilee Singers IRE
winning praise at every hand.
On the platform with the
speaker of the day, Hon. Chas.
Lands, were Phillips Brooks,
Mayor James, j. S. McGavren,
Messrs. Mause, Osborne, Lyon,
Sniff and Dewell.
Mr.. Lands looks at life from
a favorable point of view and
believes that nine-tenths of all
people are good, true, loyal and
brave. People are better than
they have ever been; they have
more freedom, more independ-
ence, better homes of their
own, there are more boys and
girls in college, more people
filled with hope and ambition
than ever before. Some people
are chronic pessimists, but our
republic does not rest upon
these, but upon our cheerful
men. He believes that every
poor boy and girl has a chance,
better than their fathers had,
and better than the rich boys
and girls, for they have money
while the poor boy has ability,
honesty and industry. Mr..
Landis' tribute to William Nc
Kinley was beautiful. He also
spoke of Iowa and her worthy
men and said that it is never
denied by any congressman
that Iowa's delegation is the
strongest of any ever received
in congress. Everything is
better, politics are cleaner, the
church is doing a broader work,
as are also the public schools.
This trinity he believes has
brought us our success. He
spoke of his own work, telling
of the amendment he made to
do away with the saloon in the
capitol building at Washington.
He spoke of this and several
other events in Washington
life to show that politics are
cleaner. His tribute to the
American soldier and citizen
were high praise and filled all
with a feeling of deepest patri-
otism. He called for more men
of honesty and industry and
expressed his belief that SO
long as the United States is
faithful to God, so long will it
be we'll with the Republic.
The speaker of the evening,
Phillips Brooks, endeavored to
keep people in their seats dur
ing the rising storm, but many
left. Yet those who remained
soon forgot the outward storm
while listening to the sweet
beautiful verses of his own
writing. Mr.. Brooks person
atty is charming and one can
not but be we'll pleased with
every word he reads. He also
believes in the farmer boy and
thinks that his ability to pick
himself up is the means of his
success through life. He also
spoke of the Spanish-American
war, and went farther than
Mr.. Lands in his praise of the
American army and navy. The
Japs took Port Arthur after
eleven months; had the Amer
leans wanted it they would
have gone over and taken it
Immediately. He believes the
battles at Manila and Santiago
are the greatest in history and
that the reason the Rebellion
lasted four years was because
it was American against Amer
lean. Any other nation would
have persisted before shutdown.
His readings were all fine,
but perhaps the most popular
was Remember the Maine"

burg was among his best num-

Manila, Oct. 9. - Government re-
ports show that the result Of the re-
cent storm is very serious. AT least
200 natives and rs Americans and
foreigners were killed. It is impossi-
BILE to identify many of the latter. The
largest acreage in the history Of the
island of Samar has been devastated.
In Albay, Sorcorsong, Masbate and
Samar houses have been destroyed
and stocks and warehouses were dam
aged. Roads are impossible and trans
portation facilities are crippled. The
loss Is incalcuable. In Albany and
Sorsogong 80 per cent of the school
buildings. dwellings, schools and ware
houses have been destroyed. The
storm, in connection with the severe
drought which obtained early in the
year will, it is estimated, decrease tho
receipts Of the islands forty per cent.

decided at conference between Baron

In the Russian ambassadors apart
ments and was concluded at the state
department. Mr.. Takahira called on
Baron Rosen this morning to find out
from him the usual form of the Rus
sian ratification. In order that the
minister might inspect copy, they
went to the state department where
Mr.. Adee, the third assistant secre-
tary Of state, received them and show
cd them the ratification of the Russian
American extradition treaty. Mr..
Takahira will inform his government
fully on the subject so that the ratif-
cations may be uniform.
The approval of the treaty by the
privy council at Toxic in effect rati-
fies the convention, and it is expected
the formality of the emperor's sigma
ture will follow shortly. AS the

Japan will be ready to exchange as

be prepared and delivered at the lega-

Russian ratification will be long de-
layed. Diplomatic relations between
the belligerents have been practically
resumed at Washington.
