work harder than party Prohibitionists
in selling season tickets and making the
affair a success. That all are pleased is
evidenced by the many committee reports
sent in from each town after the closing
session. The newspapers almost uni
versally commend the plan and say good
things about the Lincoln Temperance
Chautauqua More than 100000 people
have attended the Chautauquas thus far
and by the end of the season the attend
ance will exceed a half-million in the
100 towns visited this year.

season will exceed $4,000 Of this
amount, $4,000 will have been turned
over to local committees for their
share of the expenses and to conduct
their local work. 1t is likely that
good, big half of all of this money is
contributed by old party temperance
men who approve of Prohibition agita-
ton and like to see Things doing along
temperance lines, although, for various
reasons, they may not vote the Prohibi-
ton ticket. Some of these men who

at heart with the dry party in its cru
SADIE against drink The beauty about
the financial plan is that it is on a
strictly cash basis There are no pledges
to collect at some future date with the
subsequent loss for shrinkage and collec-
ton. The single admission for each
session is twenty-five cents, except on
Sunday, when usually free will offerings
are taken Often on the Sabbath the
collections reach SIS and sometimes ex
coed $1OO. Season tickets, transferable,
are $1oo The people who contribute to
the enterprise can make no complaint
about the money being used elsewhere,
for they see the work done in their
town.
Are there entertaining features |?
Yes The Nevin Quartet is better than
many college glee clubs. They put up
an entertainment of readings, solos and
quartet music that is easily worth half
dollar, and much better than many city
folk pay seventy-five cents and one dol
lar to hear. With them is John A.
Nichols, the dashing orator from Massa-
chusetts. The Meneleys, with their or
gan chimes and marimbaphone are bet
ter than a minstrel show and some liken
them to the Hawthorne Club or Ideal
Entertainers, who are supposed to be
the best Of their kind in lyceum work
in Ohio. With the Meneleys is DR..
Vibbert, the old war-horse who is al
ways scholarly, cultured and high grade
in his addresses. The Mezicks are fine
religious singers with cultured voices.
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-11-05

The plan is original with Illinois and
is conducted on the circuit idea. Five
tents were pitched ON May IL, in five
contiguous counties in Southern Hi
nois. The opening session is Tuesday
afternoon and the closing meeting, al
ways a union service of all the churches,
comes Sunday night, The array of talent
make the circuit during the week,
changing every day except Sunday, tai
ent remaining over the Sabbath where
they appear on Saturday. Each Chau-
tauqua has new program each day.
Speakers give two lectures each day,
afternoon and night, and the singers or
entertainers help to fill out the pro-
gram More than half of the lectures
are on Prohibition and the average is
higher this year than heretofore. The
big tent has superintendent who is
the general manager, business agent and
platform man. An assistant h~1oe to
watch the door receipts, look after the
comfort OF the talent and spread the ad-
vertising matter. These canvas taber-
nacles will hold a thousand chairs and
more than once their capacity has been
taxed and in one town it required two
of these big tents to accommodate the
people who came from all parts of the
county to the assembly
The magnitude of the enterprise may
be Judged when it is considered that the
cost of running these five Chautauquas
is $225 per day. This may not seem
much to some people, but when it is
remembered that it is in the interest of
reform work and the money has to be
raised on that basis to some degree, it is
no easy task. The total receipts for the

TO uplift the people along anti-liquor
lines. The success has been marvellous,
notwithstanding strong political opposi-
ton and many unforeseen obstacles. In
the line of competition there has been
the street fair, the carnival, summer
theaters, bad vaudeville shows, Sunday
baseball and the low grade circus. After
a hard fight, many of these have been
driven from the field and the Lincoln

While the street fair has been prac-
tically ruined and driven out of business
in Illinois, the carnival is the newest
innovation, but merchants who have be-

power and bringing business to the
town. The attendance has exceeded the
most sanguine expectations, and in many

their Prohibition and religious songs.
Blain, the Good Templar veteran with
his stereopticon entertainments never
fails to please the young people and
children who come in great crowds to
his show. His associate has been Mrs.
Florence D. Richards, of Ohio, who is
power for good on the platform Now
he has Major Merwin, of Connecticut,
who tells the favorite story of how he
travelled with Abraham Lincoln making
Prohibition speeches before the war.
People sit almost breathless as they hear
his testimony about the first American
being against the liquor traffic. Frank
Regain, one of Americas best cartoon
lists, entertains as well as instructs and
makes hundreds of votes for the PROM
bition party with his lecture on The
Fool Taxpayer" Hector, with his great
war lecture, "The Battle of Shiloh" has
been big attraction and now his place
is taken by Miss Lillian Phelps, of Can
ada, who has in her repertoire fine
lecture, Rome, the Eternal City,"
Thus the program is full of many en-
tertaining features which are added to
by the local committees who furnish
band concerts and various additional
numbers. The educational work is strong,
total abstinence is not forgotten. The
social evil is touched upon, and only
eternity will reveal the number of girls
down the state who have been saved by BY
Mrs Richards talks on the white slave
traffic. The religious feature is promi9
nent and people have actually been con
verted in these Prohibition tent meet
ings. Why not, for this is political
sanctifcation and brings out the highest
type of practical Christian living by
teaching men to show their Christian
belief and life at the ballot box. The
political features are not of the cam
paign stump order but are along lines
to fit the occasion. No bitter denun
citation is heard, but in a kind way the
truth is presented, appealing to the
heart of Christian and patriotic men to
support political party that stands
everywhere against the liquor traffic.
This practical method of reaching the
people with Prohibition party truth has
won thousands of converts, has stimu-
lated and encouraged veteran Prohibi-
tionists and has popularized the Prohibi
ton party movement in the Prairie
State.
Chautauquas have been valuable in the
local fights against the saloons and be-
cause of these hundreds of meetings,
many towns are now without the dram
shop. Superintendent Marston has been
travelling since early May and in Octo-
Der he was for the first time in a saloon

Pittsburg, November 30-The squeaking

leading to the Rachel and Agnes mines
of the Pittsburg- Buffalo Coal company

wrecked the up-to-date elevator of the
shaft and snuffed out the lives Of miners
to a number estimated at from 120 up,
had carried to the surface when dark
ness fell tonight the bruised, mangled and
burned remains of more than 100 of the
victims of the disaster.
The most reliable count of the bodies
recovered at that time was ITO, two-thirds
of which have been identified.
The exploration of the workings has
been so complete that it seems impossible
that any considerable number of bodies
remain in the mines.
James e. Roderick head of the state
department of mining, said tonight that
from data furnished him by the company
and reports from his six deputy inspectors
he did not believe the death list would
exceed 100.
Mr.. Roderick reached the mine this aft
ernoon but after receiving reports from
deputies decided not to enter the work
ings until the rescuers have completed
