Quartette sang "In the Gloam-

Quartette sang "In the Gloam-
ing" They were stationed in
the back part of the tent and
the effect was rather dramatic,
and on the whole very pleasing.
The crowd followed Mr.. Davis
with great interest and gave
him their enthusiastic support.
Last night was ideal, and the
people wendell their way home
ward, feeling that there is a
good deal of pleasure i'm this
world, even though sometimes
we feel over-taxed. The chau-
tauqua has been refreshing to
those in attendance for they
have had recreation both physi-
cally and mentally.
SATURDAY.
In the morning DIR. Smith and
Prof. Lane gave their respec-
tive lectures, which were the
morning features of the pro-
gram. Also the Seton Indians
were put through a few fancy
tricks by the instructor. In the
afternoon the session was open
ed by a concert by Covalt's Or
chestra, after which Rev. F. G.
Smith was introduced and gave
his lecture on yesterday, To-
day and Tomorrow" which was
up to his high standard as usu-
al. DR.. Smith charmed his au-
dience with his eloquence, and
made a decided hit with regard
to his idea of the man to whom
the franchise should be given.
The standard suggested by him
would be of the right sort and
would set the principles of this
government high up in the ma
tions around us. He scored the
dram-shops and stated that a
'lnan is known by the company
he keeps. (" DR.. Smith is, per-
haps, the most noted divine on
the lecture platform today and
wins his audience with his clear
and logical conclusions, yet at
the same time striking deep at
the root Of his subject. He inn
presses one with his sincere in
dlviduality, and his gestures
denote action on his part.
We have had the pleasure Of
encouraging our boys who sang
so we'll Tuesday evening. 1t is
hoped that the boys will organ
ize a permanent club under the
direction of Mrs. Green and de-
light us often in the future.
Last evening we were pleased
to hear the Treble Clef. The
ladies of this club have been
studying music with it's history
for a number Of years. They
have certainly changed mem
bers through the removal of
members to other towns, but
have always retained the inter-
ests of these in their work.
Last evening they presented
the following program:
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1906-08-09

,pl,ce in the hearts of the Mis-
'soan Valley people and we
hope we will have the pleasure
,of hearing them more often.
1--WE realize that music is not as
leasily heard in a tent as it
would be in a hall, but there
were no complaints and every
one praised them for their fine
selections. They were gentle
men in every respect and made
host of warm friends during
their sojourn in the Valley.
The Odeon Male Quartette
made a hit yesterday in their
sacred concerts and they GER
tainly were enjoyed by the
large crowd present. They are
all good singers and gave sew
eral solos, duets, etc. The
|reader, Isabella Wallace, who
accompanies them, rendered
|several selections both after
noon and evening and gave
fair satisfaction.
Miss Lund and her tribe of
Seton Indians gave the pow
wow advertised Saturday after
noon and it was a novel fea-
Cure of the assembly. On &C
count of the laueness of the
hour when Prof. Holden finished
his speech, the entertainment
was curtailed, but most of ii
was carried through according
to the programs scattered
among the people at the
grounds. The boys and girls
will miss this part of the pro-
gram now that the assembly is
over, but it has been very inter-
esting for them.
The Passion Play" illus
trated by Prof. Lane, was given
last evening at the tent and
was we'll received. The pic
lures were thrown on the can
vass by Mrs. Lane and Prof.
Lane explained them. The
pictures depict the life OF
Christ as given by the residents
of the little town of ODER Am
mergau in Bavaria. He told of
the preparation of these men
for the play which is given
every ten years, but which he
stated he did not think would
be produced after the year
1910. 1t seems they take
Young men and women and have
them practice for their part
for years before the time of the
play in order that they may
become perfectly familiar with
their parts and train also their
features to represent their
respective parts. The play is a
wonderful production and is
not duplicated or even at
tempted in any other part of
the world. The Bavarians
give it as a sacrement instead of
rendering 1t Tor gam.
The lecture given Sunday af-
ternoon by Prof. Holden of the
Ames Industrial school, was
/ we'll received by those present
but on account of the rain the
audience was rather small.
His theme was good seed
, corn and the destruction of the
growing corn by worms. As
usual he delivered a very able
}, address and the farmers pres
ent received valuable Informal
ton with regard to the corn
crop.

When we think of the way it
rained this forenoon, we cannot
help but think that yesterday
was destined to be a nice day
just for the benefit of our
chautauqua. It made moving
home very disagreeble and
most of the campers will be
mighty glad to get to their
homes for the night.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1906-04-12

while the Republicans not having had a
chance to carefully examine the changes
proposed declined to vote for it leaving
the responsibility for its passage Or
failure whsre It belonged, on the ma
jority party. The bin received two
less than Constitutional majority and
failed Of passage.
The ring" now cries that it meant
to give the people relief but the Repub-
hcans wouldn't let them! Such hypo-
crisy is too Transparent to deceive SEN
sible men. The Republicans and four
or five Democrats in the House were
the only representatives at Annapolis
striving for a fair election law. The
Democratic machine deliberately cppoz-
ed every bona-fide effort to better con-
ditions from the. opening of the session
until its close. Their course leaves the
fight for fair elections the paramount
issue in Maryland until honest laws re-
place the present dishonest one with
their food OF trick ballots. and crook
edness generally.

BAD ELECTION LAWS UNCHANGED

The Democratic party was in full con-
troll Of both branches of the General
Assembly and upon that party must re-
main the responsibility for the failure
Of the Legislature to respond to the de-
mands OF practically the whole State
for the enactment of honest election
laws. From the beginning of the SEES
sion down to the very end, the regular
Democrats stubbornly refused Is do
anything to facilitate election reforms.
On the contrary they vigorously opposed
the Reform League bill which proposed
to go back to the good law of 1896, and
the Murphy bill. The Republicans
finding it impossible to get the Reform
League bill gave their support to the
best that was offered, a measure intro
duced by Mr.. Murphy, Democrat, of
Baltimore. Six Democrats supported
this bill and with the solid support of
the AZ Republicans it passed the House.
The Democratic machine passed the
word and it was so emasculated in the
Senate that the House refused to con-
cur IN the Senate amendments bv the
same vote by which it was originally
passed. Nearly the whole session had
been allowed to go by without the
slightest effort being made by the Dem
ocratic organization to offer a bill
granting the changes demanded bv the
people. 1t was late in the last dav of
the session when the Murphy bill as
amended by the Senate, came up again
in the House and the Senate amend
ments We're rejected 1t was then sent
to Conference Committee of the two
Houses. Then occurred a remarkably
suspicious thing. The Speaker of the
House appointed three Democrats and
the President of the Senate appointed
three Democrats, from their respective
bodies on the Conference Committee
This unusual act at once aroused the
suspicion of the Friends of election re-
form and it was feared that some
snake" would be jammed through at
the closing hour. The committee made
its report to the House of Delegates
after midnight of the last day of the ses-
sion. Two Democrats left the House.

Mr.. Dennis Succeeds Col. Avirett.

Governor Warfeld announced that he
had received the resignation of Col.
John W. Avirett, who for the past two
years has been Game Warden of Mary
land. The Governor accepted the resig-
nation of Oregon Milton Dennis, of Bal
timore city to succeed Colonel Avirett.
In speaking of Colonel Avirett's resig-
nation the Governor said that it was
due largely to the Colonel's i'll health.
Col. Avirett has been ill at his home for
some days, but is now improving. He
will act in an advisory sense with his
successor and will look after the work

EARLY AND LATE CASTERS.
Cannot Happen Earlier than March
% or Later than April IS.

Easter Sunday cannot happen earlier
than March % or later than April rs,
but between these two dates it has
range of 35 days. At the time of the
council of Nice, 825 A. D., it was agreed
by the representatives present that
from that time forward Easter should
fall on the first Sunday after the first
full moon occurring on or next after
March q, or, in other words, on the
first Sunday after the first full moon
after the sun crosses the line. Since
the above arrangement was adopted by
the council referred to Easter has fallen
on March %, and on every date between
that and April 25, it's latest possible
date, an event which will not occur
again until the spring of 1913. Easter
falls this year on next Sunday, April Is.
