Big Stone ChautauQua

The management of the chau.
tauqua association are making
special efforts this year to put
on one of the best programs ever
presented at the lake. Here are
a few of the attractions so far
secured: Hendrickson, the
magician, spoken of by Davidson
the great chautauqua man as
being one of the strongest if not
the strongest magicians in this
country, will be there for two
days; Robertson with his moving
pictures will spend three days
there; the famous Mexican Trio
will also have two days. Sun
shine Hawks spends two days
on the ground, and he alone is
worth 81 for a ticket. In addi-
ton to these Gov. LaFOllette, of
Wisconsin and a number of
other very strong speakers will
appear and the Mendelssohn
quartette who have been the
greatest success of any yet
appearing before Chautauqua
audiences, will be there for
four days.

The Canning Factory

The com mittee consisting of
f. b. Roberts and G.. D. Fair
child who were chosen to make
visit of inspection to the can
ming factory at st. Bonefacius,
Mimi, made visit to that point
last week. Mr.. Roberts went
on from there to Chicago, but
Mr.. Fairchild who has returned,
reports that so for as they could
find out through their investiga-
tions at the factory the institu-
ton was good thing. The
farmers of the community were
unanimous in their endorsement
OF the factory, and were well
satisfied with the compensation
received for their corn. The
committee was, however, unable
to get sufficient evidence that
the enterprise was a paying one
for the stockholders, and was
unwilling to recommend the or.
ganization Of a company until
the matter could be further in.
vestigated. AS this could no,
be done in time to secure a fac
tory for this season, no immed
late steps will be taken to push
the matter, but a careful inquiry
will be made as to the prospects
for further action.
