Owing to poor railroad connections
+, was necessary for him to make
drive of twenty-five miles on the last
end of the journey over rough,
hilly country. The driver was I'M
familiar with the road and when
darkness overlook them he lost the
way. At l0:30 p. N. they ma lly
arrived in Henryetta where the
audience still waited, having been
informed that Mr.. Sias would be
there although possibly somew hat
late. At this time of the night,
after five hours driving through the
cold and darkness, he went before
his audience and was received with
so much favor and enthusiasm that
it was after midnight before they
would allow him to bring his
lecture to a close.
Champ Clark.
Washington %. C. Post-Champ
Clark had his day In the house of
representatives, and for three hours
Yesterday talked on the Philippine
tariff bill and kindred topics in that
delightful fashion so characteristic
of the man. The mere announce
ment that the eloquent Missourian
was to speak was sufficient TO fill the
galleries, and OH the floor of the
house there were few vacant seats
during the time Mr.. Clark was
speaking. Incidentally the Champ
Clark brand of democracy was de-
lined by its most distinguished ex-
ponent, and the house was enter
tained and enlightened by speech
Teplete with wit, sarcasm, anecdote,
ridicule and repartee, due to the fire.
quency OF the interruptions and the
cIaShing of some of the best mettle
in the house. Mr.. Clark's speech
took wide range. He talked of the
pending bill and favored it, because
it was step in the right direction;
he discussed the general tariff ques-
tion and, in particular, the German
tariff situation. As result of in.
terruption, some good natured and
some rather irritating, lie digressed
to review Bryan's record on silver,
and paid his respects in character
istic oratory to the republican
leaders.
! Or. R.T. Campbell.
DR.. r. L. Campbell, President Of
Amity college, has been secured tor
the chautauqua bible hour. 1t is
the purpose of the management to
make this work one of the strong
, features of the assembly. DR..
Campbell is most able exponent of
bible truth He has put into his
bible work the result of his whole
life's study. illustrated lectures
on travel and science have for some
years held a high place on the
American platform, but it has re-
mained for DIR. Campbell to devise a
plan by which bible truth and his
tory could be thus presented. His
lectures are beautifully illustrated
by charts of his own designing,
which present to the eve the truth
which, is being presented at the same
time to the mind through the ear.
His work has the heartiest support
and endorsement of leading bible
scholars both east and west. There
has been a growing demand for sys-
tematic bible study in connection
with chautauqua movement and
there is probably no present day
method superior to what is offered
this summer in this daily bible hour
with DR.. Campbell.
