THE AUDUBON CHAUTAUOUA
The Management Promises A Still Better
Program Than The Good One Given
Here Last Year

Mr.. F. A. Moscrip, OF Marshall
town. who represents the Redpath
Chautauqua System, dropped into Au-
dubon one day last week to see the
newspapers and talk little about the
Audubon Chautauqua of 1908. Mr..
Moscrip is quite enthusiastic over the
program for this year, believing that
it will be still better than that given
year ago; and that it gives promise
of the highest class entertainment
ever offered in cities many times the
size of Audubon. He asserts that this
years program is of higher class, is
better balanced and more systemati-
cally arranged than any all home
grown Chautauqua ever given in the
state. The system has grown and de-
veloped very greatly since last year.
The Bureau then conducted thirty
Chautauquas; this year it will control
one hundred. 1t goes back with a
warm welcome to the towns and cities
of 1907 and has added twice as many
more. 1t has brought into equipment
bigger and better tents, and is much
better prepared in every way.
Among the great names on the pro-
gram are those of Doctor Samuel
Parks Cadman, platform successor to
Henry Ward Beecher by pure right of
intellectual contest; Doctor Thomas
T.. Green, great lecturer among the
greatest, and who is concededly the
peer of any of the greater platform at
fractions; Captain II. p. Hobson, of
Merrimac fame, hero, statesman, ora
tor, and mosto of all American; Thomas
Brooks Fletcher, a man who has
sprung at once into a first place
among orators and purposeful men /;
Doctor ,Winship, editor OF the New
England Journal of Education, a man
who has lectured to the delight of two
generations and is in greater demand
than ever before. These are a part of
the big afternoon programs.
The evening programs include illus
trated lectures by such men as Doctor
Will, of the American Forestry Asso-
citation. This lecture is of vital and
timely interest, explaining the great
movement now under way which has
resulted in President Roosevelt's call
for meeting of all the governors of
all the states; Ernest Fl. Baynes, natu-
ralist and Secretary of the American
Bison Society, of which Theodore
Roosevelt is honorary President, and
Earl Gray. the Governor General of
Canada, is Vice-President. His lee
ture is profusely illustrated with views
revealing the secrets of wild animals;
Major Coles enthralling study of his
long life with the American Cliff Dwell
ers, illustrated by Canteen slides, and
eXemplified by band of ten Pueblo
Indians in their curious rites and re-
liuiOus ceremonial, The PueblOs are
thought to be descendants of the an
cient Mound Builders, and had civil
conquering Mexico into the New Cali
fornia; Opie Read, the novelist, humor-
ing attractions. Six big musical at
fractions will add to the enjoyment of
the afternoon and evening programs.

THAT GUTHRIE CENTER GAME
Audubon High School Five The Guthrie
Center High School Two

The first of series of two games
of base ball between our own High
School and our neighbor town to the
east was pulled off on last Saturday
afternoon on the latter grounds. 1t
was a double victory to our boys since
the "hoodoo was broken and other
victories will be won away from home
in the future. A fair crowd was out.
Among it were few loyal high school
girls who continually flashed the ir
personalities upon our boys, so much
so that it often interfered in properly
fielding the ball. 1t is hoped that
when the return game is played here
May Sixteen our high school girls will
not interfere in any way. OF course
our boys may be so taken up watch
ing those classic Guthrie Center boys
for fear that they will carry away the
prize that they will fail to play good
! ball. 1t would be joke on our boys
if they should lose the game here;
however there is little danger The
low score indicates the closeness and
fierceness of the contest. Audubon's
battery was at its best and held their
opponents at its mercy throughout the
entire nine innings. Our boys have
only words of praise for their treat
ment by the Guthrie Center boys.
They are planning to entertain them
right royalty when they come here to
play the return game on Saturday

Automobile lnyades Jerusalem

The Motor Age gives an illustrated
account of the first appearance of the
Automobile in the city of Jerusalem.
The car was a great curiosity and was
followed by men and boys just the
same as they do here in Audubon. The
story is OF more than passing interest
here because one of the illustrations
contains the picture of Mr.. and Mrs.
L. Il. Wallace, of Atlantic, who are
now living there. Mr.. Wallace is the
United States Consul, and Mrs. Wal
lace is sister of George Gill, of this
county. 1t is claimed that trip of the
car to Jerusalem is the fulfillment of
the prophesy of the prophet Nahum,
made twenty-six hundred and twenty
one years ago, when he said: The
chariots shall rage in the streets and
shall jostle against one another in the
broadways; they shall seem like torch
eS and shall run like lightning.n

A REALISTIC PICTURE.
II Proved Too Absorbing For Old Uncle
Juniper.

Juniper.
The Mississippi courtroom was pack
ed with negroes, and it was fairly
evident, says a contributor to the Tay-
lor-Trotwood Magazine, that some
thing of unusual interest was about
to transpire Within the bar on the
prisoners seat an old negro leaned
eagerly forward as his attorney ar
gued his plea of not guilty before the
jury.
"Who, gentlemen of the jury, has
sworn that he saw this man commit
this theft?" demanded the attorney.
1--WE have broken every link in the
weak chain Of circumstantial evidence
with which the state has tried to ell
tangle him. Why, his neighbor, Tom
Jones, swOre that he sold him the
meat that was found in the defend
ants house and that he shot the hog
because it was wild.
at is true that Colonel Smith swore
that one of his hogs disappeared about
Dec. % and that about fifty yards
from certain stump he found blood
and then followed trail of blood from
that spot to this defendants cabin. But
what of that?
This defendant told yOu-and his
wife and brother swore the same-that
that was the blood of coon which he
had shot and carried home the day be-
fore Smith lost his hog. Give him JUS
tice as you would do if he were Il
white man. He cannot help being
black. The leopard cannot change his
spots nor the Ethiopian his skin For
twenty years he has been a leader In
the church. Let him remain free to
enjoy the bread of life with others of
the faithful"

The sheriff had to threaten to clear
the courtroom before order was restor-
ed. When at last there was silence the
district attorney rose.

in closing the case for the state, II de-
sire only to bring a picture to your
minds"
Here the prisoner adjusted his big
brass trimmed spectacles as If to see
the picture, and his manner showed
that he was determined to let no detail
escape him.

ued the district attorney, found Juni-

was coming to spend Christmas with
him. But Juniper did not worry, for
only half a mile away in Marse Smiths
woods were some fat hogs.
