The booklet containing the prelimi-
nary announcements and the full pro-
gram of the Ottumwa Chautauqua has
been issued and is being distributed to
every home in the CITY, brief sketch
Of each Of the famous lecturers, mu-
sicians and other artists who are to ap-
pear on the program, together with all
necessary information, will be found in
this little pamphlet. No one who is in
terested to the slightest degree in lit
erary. musical and high grade enter
tainments, can fail to become enthusi-
astic after carefully looking over this
pamphlet and noting the magnificent
program that has been prepared for
the Ottumwa Chautauqua. Such treat
has never before been offered to the
citizens of Ottumwa and vicinity. 1t
does not seem possible that Ottumwa
can fail to respond to such valuable
and interesting program as this.
The Chautauqua has been organized
and Is conducted purely for the public
benefit and for the purpose of attract
ing visitors and strangers to the city
during the dull summer season. Last
year, on account of the inclement
weather, the Chautauqua association
had deficit of about $1,000. $4,000
of this was paid by an assessment OF
$500 each on the members of the
Chautauqua association. The associa
ton hopes this year to pay all ex
penses and pay the outstanding note OF
$4,000 which it was necessary to make
in order to meet this deficit This year
program has been prepared, the
drawing power of which should enable
the association to not only meet all the
exuenses of this season, but wipe out the
deficit coming over from last year. Ii
order to do this 1000 season tickets
should be sold, and the work OF sell
ing these tickets is in the hands Of
two Ottumwa bright young men who
are endeavoring in this way ito carr
the money to pay their way Through
college. Look over the ChGutauuua
booklet and then place your orders fol
from one to dozen season tickets.

Al this juncture the motorman, who
fancied that Some one must be dead or
dying, reversed the breaks and the wo-

ceived one OF the seNerest jolts they have
ever experienced. The people on the car
farcied that the woman must have gone
insane, for she continued pulling away
at the bell rope and shrieking: Where
Is my baby" To add to the embarrass-
ment OF the conductor the other children
set up fearful howl

By this time the woman had made her

lifted up the baby carriage. which he
had hung on the hook usually occupied

platform the mother pulled aside thick
