The Chautauqua in Small Town.

In western Nebraska is small town
of something over thirteen hundred
inhabitants by the last government
census. This town has the ordinary
energy, progressiveness, and public
spirits that characterizes most
western towns and no more. 1t is
located in the centre of county
containing abolt thirteen thousand
inhabitants, with only one railroad
and the nearest neighboring village
eleven miles away, while the nearest
competing railroad is twenty miles
away. 1t will be readily seen that
the organization of Chautauqua
under such conditions seemed like a
stupendous undertaking. Three years
ago IA Lyceum agent came to town
and began TO talk the matter up. They
did not take very kindly to the pro-
position at first. There were no
natural park, no lake or stream, no
fine trees. The only available spot
was a little plat of ground three
Z hundred feet square.
Finally however the agent prevailed,
and the business men made rather a
liberal guarantee.
To make a Chautauqua a success in
community SO sparsely settled it
was simply necessary for everyone to
turn out And that is just what
happened. Business men left their
stures and farmers their fields. One
farmer was heard TO remark that he
would rather come to town to Chau-
tauqua than to go TO the state fair
any time.
Last summer the third session was
held and now the people of that town
and neighborhood would no more
think of giving up their Chautauqua
than their homes. More tents are
ordered year in advance for the next
session than were used in all three
preceding years.
The Chautauqua has filed a long
felt want and it has come TO stay.
We're this town located within
reach of a second railroad where the
benefit of competition might be had
and regular excursions lnaugurated
during the session of the Chautau-
qua it is hard to estimate what might
have been done. But anyhow the
enterprise has been a success in every
respect.

HON e.Made CatarIh Cure.

Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of its kind known. The
name "Cyclone" is given TO the fol-
lowing prescription, it is supposed,
because of its promptness in driving
from the blood and system every YES
tige of catarrhal poison, relieving this
foul and Tread disease, no matter
where located. TO prepare the mix
ture: Get from any good pharmacy
one-half ounce Fluid ettract Dande-
lion, one ounce Compound Kargon
and three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. Shake well and use in
teas poonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime.
This is harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has a peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kid
neys, assisting them to filter and
strain from the blood and system all
catarrhal poisons, which, il not
eradicated, are absorbed by the mI-
cous membrane, and an open sore or
catarrh is the result.
Prepare some and try it, as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh
specialist of national reputation.

EDITOR REPORTERS:
/ don't think you ought to have pub
lished that article in last weeks Re-
porter How No License Works in
Stoughton," because in may help defeat
no license in that place. And think what
calamity that would be to Edgerton!
For, of course, all those Stoughton peo-
pie coming to town to get their drinks
must leave a lot of money with the mer-
chants, for it a man spends from one to
five dollars for drinks, it's reasonable, is
it not, that he can spend as much for
dry goods and groceries. [ would like
to know how much the Edgerton mer-
chants made last year cut of those
Stoughton people.
And then the saloons draw such nice
class of men from that place, for it must
be that good, law abiding sort who don't
want to violate the city ordinance that
come to Edgerton for their drink. The
other fellows can get all they want in
those "holes," for the article in question
says "there is no trouble in getting a
drink. 1t is full Of holes big enough to
drive the whole municipality through"
Some temperance crank may think
there is good point or two in said arti-
Gle. as that "the number of young DRINKS
has been decreased" and ''Mr. F. j. Yea,
president and general manager of the
Stoughton Wagon company, which em-
ploys about 250 men, said that no license
had improved conditions, and that there
is less drunkenness among the working
class in Stoughton' Never mind that,
but be careful in the future about put
ting anything in your paper that might
have a tendency to injure Edgerton's
drink traffic, for it has the reputation
now of doing big trade. We will push
through the pure food laws and those
against the spread of tuberculosis, but
let King Alcohol alone. He only kills
about 100000 a year, and poverty and
degradation follow in his trail; but there
is money in it for a few and political
power for many. "On with the dance!'
