Chautauqua Notes

Miss Hazards work in the
morning is proving tremend-
ously popular. Her cooking
demonstrations are very prac-
tical and her explanations are
very clear and definite. The
ladies who are attending are
delighted. Miss Hazard COM
bines rare good common sense
with her scientific training.
Her work is very valuable and
every lady that can possibly at
tend should be on hand.
The moving pictures last
night were pronounced by
many as the best ever seen.
The beautiful Niagara Falls
picture will be repeated to-
night. There will be five
other reels all new tonight.
Tomorrow is Council Bluffs
Day. A large train load of
people are expected from
there. Gov. Hoch. the great
reform governor of Kansas,
will give his grand lecture "a
Message from Kansas. Thou
sands of people will be in at
tendance. The largest crowd
in the history of the chautau-
qua is expected tomorrow af-
.ternoon.
Now that the weather is good
the attendance is increasing.
with every session. The cues
tion now is how to take care of
the people. The attendance
last night taxed the capacity
of the tent to the limit. Still
larger crowds will throng out
to see the pictures tonight and
to hear Hoch tomorrow, and
Sunshine Hawks tomorrow
night. Mora s. ting will be
provided and everybody made
comfortable. The sidewalk
and the streets are perfectly
dry, lie water in abundance is
provided and the finest pro-
gram in the state is being
given. This session is sure to
be a tremendous success.
Yesterday was rather a hot
day, but those who were at the
grounds for the afternoon pro-
gram were we'll repaid. The
band gave a few selections
after which the Jubilee Singers
delighted the audience for
about a half hour. Dir. Mont
gomery was then introduced
and delivered bis lecture on
John Ruskin, which was full of
power and certainly interesting.
He told Of the early trials of
John Ruskin in trying to better
the condition OF the poor Of
London and the criticism
brought forth by his efforts.
Perhaps those who criticised
him most were the clcrgymen|
and it is said that his death
was brought about at an early
date by the malicious stories
scattered around by the same
clergymen. Mr.. Ruskio was a
great believer in environment
and proved his theory among
the dwellers Of the tenement.
DR.. Montgomery is a speaker
of ability and those that missed
the afternoon session missed a
great treat.
In the evening there was a
large crowd present to see the
moving pictures and they were
we'll repaid. Before the pro-
gram was finished, the storm
came up and quite a number of
people left the grounds. While
the lightning was severe there
were no injuries and the people
were all in a happy frame Of
mind, even though some few Of
them got wet. The moving
pictures shown this season were
the best ever seen in Missouri
Valley.
Toni 3ht the Williams Jubilee
Singers give their farewell con-
cert, after which Arthur w.
Hawkes. (Sunshine Hawkes)
will deliver his lecture, "Sun-
shine and Shadow" which is
said to be very interesting.
Jackson's Virginia Jubilee
Singers will be here tomorrow
and remain until the close Of
the chautauqua.
