Beatrice Chnutauqua Opens.

BEATRICE, Neb., June 22-(Special =
The eighteenth annual assembly OF the Be
atrice Chautauqua was opened last evening
under most favorable conditions the at
tendance being very large. The large taber-
nacle was decorated with flags and bunting
and when the great crowd had assembled
under its roof 1t was a picture to behold.
The Beatrice Military band opened the
program with a concert, after which Presi-
dent NJ. " Nichols introduced Samuel
Rinaker OF this city as the speaker for the
evening. Mr. Rinaker reviewed the Chau-
tauqua idea and showed where II had its
inception. He referred to the fact that
during the last twenty years many Chau-
tauqua assemblies had been organized,
some OF which had prospered for season
and died. but that of them all the Beatrice
Chautauqua had made a success both from
an educational and financial standpoint
DIR. Davidson, the first superintendent of
the assembly, stepped forward, and as he
did so was greeted with the Chautauqua
salute. When quiet had been restored he
made few brief remarks in which he
stated that 1t seemed like old times to him
to stand upon the platform before a Be-
atrice audience The program was brought
to a close by Ellsworth Plumstead. humor-
ist, and Claud Smith, who gave a moving
picture entertainment. A splendid program
has been arranged for the association and
prospects are for successful assembly.
