Since the mother Chautauqua was
organized by Bishop Vincent in New
York state about thirty-three years
ago, other Chautauquas have sprang
up all over the land, Iowa alone having !
about ninety the past year and abslt q
third of these were organized and con-
Quoted by the Redpath Chautauqua
system. Now Mr.. George G.. Rhein-
frank of the Redpath system comes
here for the purpose Of organizing q I,
six days Chautauqua assembly for
Cresco for the summer of 1903, prob
ably the last week in June.
THREE PROGRAMS DAILY.
There are to be three programs daily,
forenoon, afternoon and evening. The I
afternoon and evening programs will 4
be double, that is concert Of about
three-fourths of an hour will be givenS
before the lecture of entertainment
scheduled.
There will be six concert companies,
a different one each day; also about
twelve lectures, Illustrated lectures,
motion pictures shows and other enter-
| tainments with occasionally full con-s
cert. Special features will be the Setons
Indian work for children, also Mrs.
4 Stevens with her band of real Pueblo
Indians, for the first time leaving theSSs
reservation in charge Of the onlye
woman anthropo logist in the employ of
/ the government. The talent will be OH
the uniform high grade, such Is is usedyy
on the best Chautauqua programs I'M
| the country. The. price Of the seat
son tickets viii be 81. so per adult anil
4 81 for children for the entire series of
about eighteen programs. e;
The sessions will be held ina mamothl
tent of highest quality, seating over
1000 people and furnished with COM
Portable easy back chairs and settees1
and well lighted The most centralj
location will be selected for the tent.
/ One of the many great advantages
|of this plan is that it does not require,
a financial guarantee from the local
people, but simply asks their assist
ance to place ], 600 season tickets, as it,
requires an advance sale Of at least SO
many to make the Chautauqua sue
cess. This can easily be done in city
like Cresco, as it has been done in
towns of 1000 to 1000 inhabitants, :
!. Let us all become boosters for q Crescd
4 Chautauqua.

the involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
in which the petitioners are Boston liquor
firms and the defendant Is ex.alderinan
Edward S. Watkins, travelling sales
man well known throughout the State.

months and has attracted lot OF atten-
ton. II grew out Of an alleged partner
ship which Watkins had with the late
George G. MeCloy, a liquor dealer. Wat
kins admits that lie slet McCloy have
some money May i, 1905, and was to
have half the profits Of the business hut

to expire at the end OF 12 months. The
wholesalers to which the firm was in
debted hold Watkins liable for bills that
accrued later than May /, 1906, and it
IS for Judge Martin to decide whether he
shall be forced into bankruptcy.
Representatives of the liquor firms
were on the stand yesterday afternoon
and the session ended with heated de.
bate as to whether or not Mfr. Watkins
shall be compelled to divulge his present
assets Because Of the unusual features

FELL INTO RIVER
AND WAS DROWNED
William 0'Neil May Have Been Attacked
BY Fit-Water Was Running High
and He Was Drawn Under.

Barton, April 3O. William 0'Neil.
aged is years, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. j. b.
Freeman of this place, fell into Barton
river directly back of the Barton steam
laundry At lao yesterday afternoon and
was drowned. Mrs "A. "A. Larabee, who
lives nearby, saw the boy soon after
he fell into the river, but before help
could be secured the swift current that
fills the river banks full had drawn the
body under and nothing has been seen
of ~ since. a, net was al once strung
across the river about a mile below
where the body fell il and the stream
will be searched above.
An the afternoon boats with drag nets
were searching the stream and men with
poles and grapples were dragging the
banks and as far into the stream as
possible, but no trace Of the body was
found.
O'Neil was raking up the back yard
which adjoins the river when the accident
happened. Many think the boy was in 4
iit when he fell as he was subject to
such attacks.
