On Nov. %. '06, Mr.. q. G. Rhein-
frank Of the Redpath I.yceum Bu-
reau, started a public agitation for
a Chautauqua for Manchester for
1907. The movement met with fav-
orahle reception and a document in
viting and giving the privilege to
the Redpath Lyceum Bureau to put
in permanent Chautauqua for
Manchester, and promising the sup
port and cooperation Of the signers
was signed by about thirty Of the
influential business and professional
men Of the town. Mr.. Rheinfrank
was introduced and supported in
this campaign by two Of the leading
resident clergymen, and nowhere
did they hear the slightest intima-
ton that any other movement was
on foot tending to this end.
Now it transpires that some other
party has come in to try to put in
some other Chautauqua. The Red
path Bureau has never for mo-
ment thought of abandoning Man
chester and being pledged the sup
port of so large number of its lead
ing citizens, we have confidence in
the good sense of the community to
stand by the original proposition.
We find it necessary to make this
statement since we have discovered
that some have signed for tickets
thinking Or being led to believe that
this man was working on the origin.
al Redpath Chautauqua proposition
The Redpath canvassers are on the
ground and will carry on the work
Of listing for tickets.
The dates for this Chautauqua
are July 2, 3, 4,5.6,7. There will
be at least two big programs each
day. The talent will be Of the finest
about the same as that used al
Dubuque the same week. There is
not an amateur or a cheap attraction
on our program. Some Of the lead.
ing attractions will he selected by
the local committee, which will be
appointed in short time. Several
local committees will be appointed
to look after the various departments
and interests of the Chautauqua.
These committees will be selected
from the lists Of those signing liber.
ally for tickets.
It is very gratifying to see how all
the signers of the original invitation
are loyal to their promises and how
others, also, recognizing the priority
of the movement started by the Red
path Bureau, are rallying to their
standard. The Redpath Bureau has
an option on the Baseball grounds
for the season of 1907 and in Terrill
Park for July The local committee
on grounds will decide which is the
better place for holding the Man
chester Chautauqua for 1907, but we
doubt not it will be the beautiful
Terrill Park, so conveniently located
and kindly offered for the purpose
by Senator Terrill. xxx

RYAN VICINITY.

We attended, on Thursday morn
ing, February Z, 1907 at St. Mary's
Catholic church in Manchester, the
funeral obsequies of Mr.. Joseph
Mitch, a veteran of the civil war,
and a good, honest, conscientious
man. Rev. Father O'Meara, the
officiating clergyman, preached q
talented, and impressive sermon,
and spoke comforting words to the
relatives and words Of hope to the
dead. W. A. Morse, G.. A. R. Post
and Woman's Relief Corps 20 at
tended in a body, in honor of Mrs.
Mitch, who is an esteemed member
of the Relief Corps, and the words
of the good clergyman, admonished
US all, that passing away, is in
delibly written upon man, and up
on every city and nation, that has
ever existed, and that all nature is
destined to pass away, and that we
are all living under the mandate,
Dust thou art, and to dust, shalt
thou return" 1t was indeed q

it was good for us to be there.

The old time populists of Ne
braska are making merry over II
joke perpetrated on a republican
convention in Nebraska county
last fall. It occurred in Fourth
congressional district county, and
the man who perpetrated the joke
was republican prior to 1890,
when he joined the populists. After
serving in the populists ranks for
several years he returned to the re-
publican ranks but the leaven Of
populism was still working. He
showed up in the republican county
convention as a delegate, and while
warmly welcomed back by the faith
full he was the subject Of many jibes
on account of his former populism.
Eager to show the warmth Of their
welcome the republican bosses
name1 the old time populist as a
member of the resolutions committee.
When the committee met he pre-
sented the draft Of a platform which
met with an enthusiastic reception
because it SO clearly and forcefully
outlined principles advocated by
the republicans of the county. The
platform thus prepared was report.
ed back to the convention without
amendment, and was adopted with
a whoop.
Then the old time populist had
his laugh. He quietly showed his
republican friends that he had mere
~ copied the old Ocala platform
with the exception Of the sub
treasury plank, not changing a
single word therein.
And the republicans who used to
denounce that platform as one choke
full of anarchy and vagary had
adopted it with enthusiasm!
In the meanwhile the faithful old
populists are chuckling in high
glee, and the republicans are wonder
ing how it happened Tts ',,'a y.
part Of the story is that DOOM yrs

John Colbert of Armenia, N. Y,
was told by a New York specialist
last September that he could not
live month. He tipped the scales
at 1926. He told the specialist he
would fool him, and following the
advice of the old family physician
he went on a skim milk diet. He
has lost nearly 100 pounds and is
better than new, he says.

TAINTED MONEY PAID BACK.

George W. Perkins, former Vice
President OF the New York Life Insur-
ance Company, has paid back to this
company $54,O19. 10 to reimburse the
company for the Republican campaign
contribution made from its funds in
1904, TO help elect Roosevelt, by de-
bauching the electorate Of the nation.
Perkins was recently made defendant
on a charge of larceny in connection
with this contribution OF the money Of
the policy holders. This is why the
money was returned, the criminal pro-
ceedings against him being dismissed
on the return OF this money to the
company where it legally belonged.
This is one of the contributions to
which Judge Parker alluded in speech
a few nights before the election in 1904
as being made 10y corporations to elect
President Roosevelt, and to which
Roosevelt gave out "A heated reply lie.
nying any such contributions To elect
him. But it has been apparent FOR some
time that Parker was telling the truth.
and with all this accumulated evidence
against Roosevelt he has never made
public amends for this flat and UNI

Roosevelt could have failed 10 know

Parker was right and that his denial

THE BOARD! OF SUPERVISORS
AND JAMESTOWN.

The Board OF Supervisors Of the
county in refusing 10 make an appro-
priation for IA county exhibit at james
town have put themselves on record
as opposed TO advertising their coun-
tvs resources TO the world. Looking
at their action in the light OF modern
business methods and modern pro-
gress, 1t is difficult to explain. In the
absence Of any reason given by the
Board for the refusal to fall in line
with the wisdom and approved action
of the rest OF the state, and in fact. the
world. the cause OF their refusal is a
matter purely OF speculation.
If the Tazewell Board is pursuing a
wise and busineS-like method. then
Pulaski, Washington. Smythe, Roam
oke, the state, the nation-all OF them,
have done a foolish and mwise thing,
and Chicago, Buffalo, st. Louis. James
town-thc whole business -was huge
blunder.
As above stated, no reason. so far
as we have heard, is given by the
Board for refusing the men pittance
asked for TO assist In placing Tazewell
on "A respectable and equal footing at
jamestown, with her sister counties Of
the Southwest. Their reason NAV be
"a good one. 1t is not an exaggeration
to say that very large majority of
the leading, progressive men and tax
payers of the county favor an exhibit
at jamestown, and unless the Board
of Supervisors have good and sufficient
reasons for refusing an appropriation
they cannot complain if their action
is criticised by the people who paw the
taxes.
