tauqua Sessions Tomorrow.
FINE LECTURES BY BYRNEs.
Musical Programs Are All Good and
Are Delightful Features of the

Attendance at the Chautauqua to-
morrow on the fair grounds will
doubtless eclipse by far that of any
OF the previous days of the assembly.
The presence of Captain Richmond
Pearson Hobson, the Hero of the

will cause this great stimulus in the
attendance. He will deliver lee
lures in the afternoon and night as
announced on the program.
This afternoon at o'clock the
Hasler Concert party rendered a
prelude concert and at o'clock
Thomas P. Byrnes delivered an able
lecture on THE Gold Mine Within. ?
Mr.. Byrnes at last nights session.
delivered his great. lecture upon
Natures Masterpiece" before the
assembly, and 1t was received with
round after round of applause. 1t
is fine art to be able to hold large
audience, but that is what Mr..
Byrnes does. He possesses his lis
teners until they forget everything
but what he has to say. He held
their rapt attention from the opening
to the close, for he has something
new to say and he says it we'll.
The words of the speaker we're
eagerly absorbed by his hearers.
The striking appearance of the
speaker, and. his emphatic style of
delivery gave greater power, and
conviction to his words.

HOBSON WILL LECTURE
AT SESSIONS TOMORROW
WESTON THIRSTY
As the Result saloon Licenses May
BE Granted There in a
Month.

WESTON, Aug. s-After a trial
of about three month the people of
Weston have tired of dry town and
as soon as the legal publication can
be completed 1t is likely that num-
Der of the old saloons will start up
again. 1t is not only the liquor
dealers and saloonkeepers who want
licenses granted, but the most in
fiuential citizens of the community,
including many prominent advocates
of the cause of temperance and busI-
ness men, have become disgusted
with the way the liquor traflc has
been conducted and now favor the
granting of license again.
Considerable pressure is being
brought to bear on the county court.
which refused license at the first of
the license year, last May, to recon-
slider Its action, and it now seems
probable that the court will grant
license.

PREACHERS WIFE
IS SENT HOME
Owing to Gossip and Belief of In
fidelity on Her Part Snyder
and Wife Separate.

Rev. G. A. Snyder and wife, for
merly of Wilsonburg. but lately re-
siding at Pennington, where he is
pastor of the Methodist church, have
separated. Mr.. Snyder will remain
at Pennington and retain charge OF
the church until the annual confer
ence. He also has the children with
him.
Mrs. Snyder was turned over by
Mr.. Snyder to her brother, who
took her to his home at Grafton.
The separation was the result OF
some sensational gossip about Mrs.
Snyder and acts on her part and 9TH
ers that caused Mr.. Snyder to be
come convinced of infdelity on her
part.
For some time gossiping has been
INDUCED in as to Mrs snyder's con-
duct, and few days ago he and the
family took a trip. It was thought
the AFFAIR would quiet down, but on
the train on their way home. 1t is
stated, man who boarded the train
at point near Pennington. pinched
Mrs. Snyder on the arm as he passed.
From rear seat he sent her note,
and, when they arrived home Mr..
Snyder compelled her to show him
its contents. 1t appears that they
revealed quite clearly Mrs. snyder's
infidelity and then came the parting
of the way.
Mrs. Snyder was sent home to her
people and the injured husband took
charge of the children and will re-
tain the custody of them. Mr.. sny-
der will remain pastor of the Meth
odist church at Pennington until
the annual conference sends him
elsewhere.
Friends in this section are panied
to learn of the AFFAIR and sympathize
with him deeply.
