IT HELPS vINITA
Chautauqua Has Done Much
for the City in Every
Way

Vinitas Chautauqua will do this
town more good than anyone realizes
The people have been doing more
thinking the past week than for many
months past due to their contact
with some Of the best brains OF the
country, and the mere meeting to-
gether in the big tent has been a fine
thing for everybody
Best Of all, perhaps, is the enthusi-
asm and interest that have been
shown. President Pershing says that
every speaker has commented on the
high quality Of tie audiences in Vini-
ia, and every one Of them, in leaving.
has spoken a good word for the
place. Colonel H. w J. Ham, who
was the speaker on the first day, was
so favorably impressed with the town,
that he stopped off here last evening
to spend the night, instead of going
on to Parsons.
The members of the Kellogg Haines
singing party, in leaving, assured Rev.
Mr.. Pershing that their audience last
night was the largest and most ap-
preciatiye they have faced since leay-
ing The Alps, St Louis They say
their treatment from both the man
agement and the people was all that
could possibly have been desired.
Captain Hobson and Governor Hoch,
also in leaving, expressed their ap.
probation Of the hospitality Of Vint
ia people, This sort Of advertising
pays. These people could knock vi
nita tremendously but they car
boost even more effectively.

MAY PLAT CAMPUS
MethOdists Want TO Sell Lots
in Order TO Improve
the College.


Rev. Mr.. Nelson, secretary of the
Methodist home mission board at
Nashville, Tenn, will be in the city
Monday to confer with the board Of
trustees Of While Halsell college in
regard to the placing of some of the
college property on the market for
building lots. A part Of the present
campus has been plated for some
time, and the trustees are anxious to
sell the lots, in order that money may
thus be secured for improving the col
lege buildings and equipment.
The mission board holds the prop
erty in trust, however, and without its
consent it will Of course be impossible
to sell any Of the land. 1t is thought,
however, that the consent of the
board can be obtained. The college
has much more property than it needs
and as it is about the most desirable
in the city, and lies close in, the lots
would be sold easily at good prices

is ASSURED
Work on Williams Nat
atorium will Begin
Next week

The building Of the natatorium in
Vinita by Dr. w. G. Williams is now
practically assured. 1t was fcrnd i'm
possible to come to an agreement with
L. P. Isbell, who refused to ratify the
contract between the other stockhold-
ers of the Downingville Oil & Gas
company and the natatorium compa-
ny, SO DR.. Williams and his associ-
ates will proceed without the Down
ingville people.
Or. Williams had agreed to pay a
small purchase price for the Down
ingville company's we'll and the small
tract Of ground OH which tits located,
besides assuming the lawsuit against
it. This agreement was satisfactory
to all the stockholders except Mr..
Isbell, who proceeded to hold up the
deal. Several days have been spent
in trying to reach an amicable agree
ment with Mr. Isbell, but these ef-
forts have proved futile.
But it has been decided to build
the natatorium without waiting on
the Downingville people. The nata-
torium will be built on the ground
recently purchased by DR.. Williams
on the west side Of Bull creek. The
Downingville people have been notified
that the natatorium company will
agree to lease the water from the
Downingyille well, if reasonable terms
can be arranged. Otherwise, the nat
atcrium company will drill a well Of
its own. 1t is expected that work on
the natatorium and other improve
ments will be commenced next week.

PROVE Their ABILITY
TO DISCRIMINATE
Voters in Oregon With Initiative and
Referendum Are Now Able to
Govern Themselves.

sure index Of what will come when the
direct-vote system is established in
national affairs.
The monopolists who have been
operating in Oregon are losing their
unjust advantages. They must over
turn the peoples sovereignty or quit
the state What they are attempting
is outlined in the following special
dispatch from the capital Of the state
to the Portland Telegram:
"There is strong sentiment being
worked up IN quiet way to have the
legislature this winter call constitu-
tional convention The chief argu-
ment advanced In favor Of making it
more difficult to submit matters to a
vote Of the people by referendum and
initiative is the heavy expense to the
state. Now every proposed law or
amendment must be printed and the
governor has to issue and publish two
proclamations for each measure in at
least one paper in each Of the ten judi
cial districts. The cost averages from
s25 to 500 for every proposition. There
is a sentiment among some legislators
that the power of the aw-mazing body
is now too closely restricted.

North Carolina Family
Almost Wiped Out
By Wanderers

Raleigh, N. c., July l4-Isaac Lyerly,
a wealthy merchant and farmer, his
wife and three youngest children, were
murdered during the night in Their
home, mile east Of Barber's junction,
by robbers, who after looting the
house set fire to the bed on which the
bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Lyerly we're
lying. The two older children, who
were sleeping up stairs, we're awaken
ed and rushed down in time to ex-
tinguish the flames before any serious
damage was done.
1t is thought that the robbers killed
their victims with clubs. Two me-
gro suspects have been arrested, One
Of them is quoted as saying, few
days ago, after Lyerly had refused to
allow him ~ cut his wheat, The old
man may cut his grain, but he'll
never live to eat it.
Bloodhounds have been sent to the
scene, and the governor has offered a
reward for the arrest Of the murder

The Temperance forces of the vest
ern half of the new state Of Oklahoma
are organizing a campaign for extend
ing the Indian Territory prohibitory
law over the whole state. The first

Absolutely the only obstacle to the
adoption of the initiative and referen-
dunn in the constitution Of the new
state of Oklahoma is the ignorance Of
the people concerning tile system. The
Chieftain proposes to do everything
possible to remove this ignorance. A

largest and best-known paper on the
Pacific coast was printed, heartily en-
dorsing the initiative and referendum.

referendum measures was as follows

The Chautauqua tent was crowded
Yesterday at both sessions. In the
afternoon Miss Olof Krarer, the Es-
ouimau lecturer, gave an interesting
talk on life in Greenland, where she
vas born and lived the first fifteen
years Of her life. She is but forty-fVe
inches tall, and weighs 100 pounds.
Her lecture was decidedly novel and
Interesting, for Greenland is country
0f which but little Is known to most
people, and she, having lived there
just as the other natives, was able to
aeige facts and details that no one else
gc1uld have given.
In the evening the largest crowd OF
the session was present to hear the
concert of the Kellogg -Haines singing
party. Not seat was vacant in all
the tent. The concert was fully up
to expectations. The solo and quartet
work was thoroughly enjoyed by all
present, and the scenes from the comic
lpera Dolly Warden" given in cos
ume, were unique and especially pleas
Dc. The concert closed with medley
patriotic songs, Dixie of course
Mciting round after round of applause.
#The Chautauqua seems to grow in
avor each day Between six and seven
hundred season tickets have been sold,
according to Rev. J. e. Pershing, in
stead of the 500 that we're guaranteed,
+ and last night about l40 admission
l,a5ats were sold to those who have
no season tickets The financial sue
cess Of the Chautauqua being thus as
kured, and its continued location in
YEinita, plans are now being made for
: Bhe addition Of many more new feat
ures next year. The morning hours
have been mostly neglected this year,
but at the next Chautauqua there will
be a full program Of educational topics
for discussion in the forenoon.
This afternoon occurs the concert Of
the Parland- Newhall male quartet and
bell ringers, and this evening at 1880
there will be another concert by the
quartet, preceding the exhibition Of
moving pictures by the American
gitagraph company, that begins at q
fclock. The pictures shown by this
company are said to be the finest in
America. The subjects are all new,
and the finest films made.
Tomorrow the Sunday schools will
ave services at the various churches
Is usual. and then at II O'Clock there
vim be a union preaching service I'M

Dunkle. In the afternoon at 2:S0

platform. Probably no one who ap-
0eared here last year made more
friends than did the silyer-tongued

a1xious to hear him again.
