cert by the Jubilee Singers,
DR.. o. o. Smith, of Council
Bluffs, delivered a lecture in
place of DIR. Jenkens, who is i'll
and who has cancelled all of
his engagements. DR.. Smith
is an able man and had many
good things to say and in which
he shows great force and
power. In the afternoon he
spoke again and gave another
fine lecture which was given
favorable comment.
The evening session was
Opened by the Jubilee Singers.
The speaker of the evening
was Herbert Cope, we'll known
as a platform speaker of high
repute. His subject, Religion
of Laughter" was we'll han
died and his remarks were at
times scathing,s but neverthe-
less true. He deplored the
fact that many gso-called chris
tians think they must look and
act as though it were sinful to
be cheerful but he declared
that to be the only true way to
make life's walk easy. Peo-
pie should meet a frown with a
smile and do good whenever
possible for there is happiness
in giving. He gave several
selections, one of which was
highly amusing and the other
interesting for the lesson it
taught. His allusion to the
gossips was certainly pointed
and he declared that the men
were ten times worse than the
women for their gossip was
more suggestive. He sug-
gested as a penalty for men
gossips that they be arrested,
but that is not severe enough.
The boys and men who stand
around on the streets and
make remarks abo'lt the ladies
passing usually show their
character in the face, and ii
would be a good thing to have
a large rock pile where they
could be put to work. Mr..
Cope stated that he believed
that every time one gives vent
to anger that the system is
poisoned to a great extent, and
that many a dark deed has
been done which was truly re-
gretted afterwards, by one
whose anger was uncontrolled
TUESDAY.
The opinion of all who had
the good fortune to hear Mrs
Maud Ballington Booth yester-
day is that she is one of the
greatest and most interesting
speakers that occupies the lect.
ure platform today. Her sim
cerity appeals to the most pref.
udiced ones and she we'll dc
picts the inner life of Tie
prisoners throughout the
United States. Her cause has
been a worthy one and her life
has been entirely devoted te
this work and with grand sue
cess. None could have heard
her without feeling the better
| for it.

in his favor. His Bible lessons

No. "l3" might have been a
hodoo to the man who ran the
automobile according to the
moving pictures shown last
night, but it worked admirably
in the chorus. Hereafter, we
will never believe any bad of
the No. "13."
We notice the government has
withdrawn from entry some
100000 acres of coal lands
throughout the United States.
This is certainly a wise move on
the part of the government, and
was thus decided on account of
the reported combination of
corrupt influences in the Sen
ate trying to purchase the coal
lands from indians in Oklahoma.
This will protect our coal lands
from being tied up by the trust
and will insure an ample supply
for time to come.
We are certainly glad to
have the farmers take such an
interest in the Chautauqua and
it is the proper thing for them
10 have their club tents on the
grounds. Harvest and other
necessary work on the farm is
a secondary matter with most
of the farmers and they make
it a point to be on hand at all of
the meetings.
AS soon as the republican and
democratic state conventions
are over, perhaps the papers,
who are interested politically
and financially, will give more
attention to news. While
political fights are interesting,
they are demoralizing to the
respective parties.
The Russian autocrats will
keep on trying until they get a
good man for premier, if the
stock holds out. 1t will take a
mighty man to solve the polit-
ical tangle now existing in that
country. No vacations for the
Dukes this summer, unless it
might be in a bomb proof cave.
The railroads complain that
under the new rate law they
cannot change their schedules,
easily. That is just what the
advocates of the law wanted to
accomplish.
It will be difficult for disap-
pointed heirs of Sage to prove
that he was not in his right
mind when he made his will.
The will is too characteristic.

at the grounds where almost
everything can be bought in
the way of drinks and groceries,
and there is also a large dining
hall on the grounds which will
be a great convenience to those
wishing to go out tomorrow
and who do not wish to carry a
lunch. The prices at this din
ing hall are very reasonable so
do not forget that tomorrow
when you are planning to spend
the day at the grounds. The
fountain which was so kindly
donated by the ladies of the Art
Club and which was installed
by the Northwestern, is GER
tainly a pleasant feature.
MONDAY.
Saturday morning Miss Lund
organized the Seaton Indian
tribe from among the children
present. No doubt this will be
a pleasant feature for it gives
the children pleasant employ
ment, and relieves the mothers
of the responsibility for a few
hours every morning. Miss
Lund is an organizer of note,
and entertains the children
royalty.
The Old Plantation Quartette
opened the afternoon session
with a concert. Promptly at
300 o'clock Mr.. j. S. Dewell
introduced the speaker of the
afternoon, the Hon. j. Adam
Bede, Congressman from Mimi
esota. His speech was given
close attention. Mr.. Bede was
very modest with reference to
his position in congress and did
not tire his hearers with ego
tism. He denounced the re-
ports of the pessimists that our
congress is all bad and declared
that the worl 1 is growing bet
ter every year, and more espe-
cially the United States. He
demonstrated clearly that
should senator or congress-
man do the same things now
that were permitted during
Webster's or Clay's time, they
would be indicted. His allus-
ion to the middle class was
pointed and the audience were
liberal with their applause.
The rich or famous men and
women are not usually the
happiest people and in fact, he
declared that the most content
ed people were those in moder-
ate circumstances. Oot lmism
was the key note of his speach,
which was full of sparkling
wit and humor throughout.
His comparisons were pointed
and effective and even ludi-
crous, yet there was no mlstak-
ing his meaning at any time.
He related tbs wonderful prog
ress of our country, and stated
that the seeming slowness in
legislation was due to the new
existing circumstances and TO
the new problems to solve. Mr..
Bede's reputation as the "Wit
of the Senate" is we'll earned.
A large crowd was highly
entertained Saturday night by
Prof. Adrian Newens, inn
perosonator, in his recital of "a
Message from Mars. Mr..
Newens is a man we'll known in
Missouri Valley for his excel
lent entertaining, and much
credit is due him for the easy
and artistic manner which he
rendered his selection.
