He impresses the connoisseur as a man
of firm convictions, who has the extreme
ly rare power of assimilating oratorical
fact with sound argument and thus
leaving serious message unaccompani-

has been kept of his platform work and
the very small percentage of failure
has been directly traced to single

ChAUTAUQUA OPENS MONDAY
A Great Treat in Store Embracing Celebrities of
National Reputation. Splendid Program.

Next Monday opens the annual and
long looked for Leon Chautauqua and
those who have followed the publicity
campaign to any extent at all know
that the equal in quality and balance
Of this program will not be offered in
any other city in Iowa this season. The
expense of assembling talent of inter
national reputation for twenty high
class events precludes the possibility
of their appearance at the ordinary and
independent Chautauqua. Only through
the systematic economies made pos
sible by the Redpath plan can lecturers
and musical attractions of such merit
be engaged at -prohibitive prices.
An Interesting Point.
Did The Reporter readers ever stop
to reflect that if they were compelled
to travel to individual places to see
and hear these attractions that the ex-
pense would stagger the bank account
of a millionaire? And still for the
trif1ing sum of S150 they are brought
to Leon for the pleasure and profit of
the Chautauqua patrons-the most elab-
crate and expensive array of talent on
the platform today.
The Time and the Place.
AS stated before the Chautauqua will

The big canvas pavilion will be erected
in ample time for the opening session.
At 2:30 Monday afternoon, the opening
exercises will be held at which time
important announcements for the en-
tire assembly will be made, including
plans for the Sunday forenoon pro-
gram.

Seton Indian Work.
A feature of the Chautauqua for this
season will be the Indian camps on the
Chautauqua grounds for children be-
tween the ages of and IA. The value
of this feature as combining instruction,
study and good, clean, wholesome fun
and outdoor play during the vacation
period will be readily appreciated by
parents and teachers. Two tribes of
Indians modelled upon the Seton plan
will be organized under thoroughly
trained and competent young women
teachers and directors. Tepees and
wigwams will be provided. Indian
names and dress will be adopted and
the Indian of Longfellow and Cooper be
taken as the type. Honor, fairness,
courage, clean living will be inculcated,
legends of the Hiawatha character told
by the story tellers and natural history,
observation and appreciation of out of
doors taught. Games of Indian origin,
practice with bows and arrows and
other amusements more particularly be-
longing to whites will be INDUCED in as
directed by those in charge.
For those boys and girls who desire
to purchase suits already made, the
Kraft Clothing Company has received
a shipment of suits for sizes six to
fourteen. Those desiring to be Indians
are asked to meet at 4:30 Monday after
noon for organization of tribes and
pitching of tepees.
The Forenoon Program.
AT 900 o'clock each morning from
Tuesday to Saturday inclusive will be-
gin the SetoD-R edpath Indian work for
the children, which proved SO popular
last season. Every child in Decatur
county between the ages of six and
fourteen years should attend this inter-
esting feature of the Chautauqua.
A series Of five forenoon lectures will
be given free to season ticket holders.

4 Pioneer OF
White Pine
Succumbs

Ed. Chase, a resident of Ely for
some years and widely known among
old timers throughout Nevada, died
at the county hospital at 8 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, as the result of
a paralytic stroke sustained in his
room in the Munro hotel sometime
Thursday night.
Ed. Chase was n of the early
arrivals in this county, having come
to Hamilton in 1868. During the
White Pine excitement he held down
the job of ~telegrapher. During the
halcyon days of Eureka he was prom
inent in politics in that county, be-
ing elected to the office of Recorder
and Auditor for two successive terms
serving until 1873.
For many years Mr.. Chase followed
gambling. Six years ago he was
manager of the Oberon in Reno, at
that time one of the largest gaming
houses in the State. The last few
years his health prevented him from
following his usual occupation. He
was about siXty-five years of age.
Mr.. Chase is survived by a daught-
err, Miss Minnie Chase of Reno, who
is seventeen years of age. She was
informed of her fathers death. last
evening by wire. and a erply from
her regarding the disposition of the
remains is expected today.

Wages
by Faulty
Procedure

Motion to dismiss the case and
discharge the attachment in the case
of Ben Logan VS.. Ed. Iverson was
granted by Justice Cartwright In
justice court yesterday afternoon.
The motion was submitted to the
court without argument.
The court held that it was proper
because no copy of complaint or
summons was served upon the de-
PENDANT, and that the name of the
attorney was not endorsed upon the
summons. The attachment was dis
charged because nc undertaking was
fled before the issuance of the writ
of attachment with two sureties
signing same, and because the parties
certified on the back of the under
taking did not make affidavit that
they were either freeholders or
householders in the State of Nevada.
The suit was brought by Logan to
collect the sum of $1S7. which he
claimed due from Iverson for tending
bar in the Milwaukee Dance Hall at
Ragtown, near McGill. Logan al
legged in the complaint that he was
employed by Iverson for forty-seven
days at Sc per day, and that $95 was
paid on the account, leaving a bal
ance of 1887 still due and unpaid.

Guido the world record which he
