CHAUTAUoUA OPENS TUESDAY.
Harrington Preparing for Record
Breaking Crowd.

ChautauduaS are common occurrences
over the state of Kansas this summer
hut Heringtop is claiming for the ceIe-
bration of her Cnautaaqua, June 90 to
July 4 one of the most novel events in
the history of the Chautauqua in Kan
sas.
In the first place the automobile en-
durance run will be an attraction which
is attr acting wide interest over the
state. This endurance run will be rout-
ed through the city sire cts and avenues
and out over the best macadem and
dragged roads in Dickinson county. The
run will be pleasure as well as a
valuable prize to the winners. The first
prize will consist of an elaborate solid
silver cup to be presented after the
race by Mayor Murray in behalf of the
Harrington Rambler club. The auto
race will be held on July and at the
present time the judges have booked
entries from Marion. Peabody, Council
Grove, Junction City, Abilene, Salina,
Wichita and a number of other cities.
The hundreds of dollars offered in prizes
has attracted cars from all over the
state. Thu central Kansas automobile
endurance run will be one of the lead
ing events in the central part of the
state this year and this city expects to
entertain at least 5000 visitors
Another feature of the big Chautau-
qua program. is the acquisition of the
Seventh Regiment band from Fort Ri
ley. This military band is the best in
the regular army today ard they were
procured at an immense expense to the
ChautauQua association. This band will
be here during the entire Chautauoua

MAY HAVE FOUND POLE.
Geographers Believe DIR. F. A. Cook
Was Successful.

New York. June 26.-word is ex-
pected any day from F. A. Cook,
Arctic explorer who is now believed to
be awaiting transportation home at
Etah. North Greenland. and geo
graphers in the Arctic club here
which sent him north profess the
earnest belief that he has reached
the North Pole.
Reviewing the journal he sent
home from Cape Hubbard last year,
from which point he made his final
dash for the pole, these geographers
note that the route he planned to
take would lead him directly to the
North Pole providing that there was
not very unfavorable ice conditions.
Coupling this information with the
fact that there have been more ice
bergs floating down into the Atlantic
ocean this spring and much earlier
than ever before, the scientists be-
lieve they are safe in predicting that
DIR. Cook was not hampered by I'M
favorable ice conditions and that he
therefore reached the pole.
DIR. Cook is believed to be now
waiting at Etah for the arrival of a
Scotch whaler which will bring him
and his possibly great news back to
civilization. It is possible that this
news may first emanate from Dundee
Scotland, which Is the home port for
most of the Scotch whalers which
visit the Arctic seas.

LOCKED In A BOX CAR.
Six Year-Old Chicago Boy May Be
Dying of Thirst.

Chicago, June 26.-Locked in a
freight car by some of his companions
while at play and carried to some un-
known destination is believed to be
the fate of Felix Kmiecik, years old.
The lad has been missing for three
DAYS.
Yesterday, at the urgent request of
the police and the boys mother, the
officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul railway commenced a diligent
search for the boy.
the railroad yard where he was sup
posed to be will be thoroughly ran
sacked. Many cars, which are now
at distant points from this city, will
have to be searched. as they have
been moved since the disappearance.
The police believe that the child went
to sleep in the car, and, not noticed
by railroad employees, was carried
away from the city.

ANOTHER SWAT FOR FLY
New York City Has Caught the DR..
Crumbine Step.

New York, June ga vigorous
campaign against the common house
fly has been started by special COM
mittee of the Merchants association
the expense of which is being borne
bv Edward Hatch, jr., a prominent
merchant A circular was prepared
instructing householders how to mini
rnize the danger from this pest, but
efforts to have either the board of ed
ucation, or the board of health dis
tribute it failed.
Still determined to wage the war,
the committee has begun the inser-
ton of large display advertisements
in newspapers, calling upon all ten
ants and householders to screen their
premises, keep them clean and to re-
port the names of dealers in eatable
things who expose them to the dis
se-breeding fly.

WOMEN were BRAVE.
Sang Popular Songs While Life Boat
Fought Breakers.

New York, June 26.-Members of
the crew of the Cunarder Slavonia,
which was wrecked June 10th on the
rock bound coast of Flores, Azores,
returned to this port on the steam
ship Pannonian, telling interesting
stories of the remarkable bravery of
the American women passengers, fol-
lowing the wreck.
Il never saw men so cool and
brave as were those American women
passengers" said one of the British
crew "They sang popular songs to
US while we rowed them through the
breakers in the lifeboats. When the
Slavonia ran on the rocks at 2:30
O'Clock in the morning, most of the
women came on deck in their night
clothes, but they accepted the as
Surances of the officers that there was
no danger and returned to their
staterooms and dressed. Later they
went about the decks spreading cheer
and hopefuIness everywhere. I did
not see a hysterical woman on board.
Not one of them bothered the officers
or crew with questions and all of
them accepted the orders given with
magnificent grace.
when we landed them on the
cliffs at Flores they fell among
friends A colony of Portuguese,
most Of whom had made comfortable
little fortunes in America and who
had returned to Flores to live in COM
parative luxury and peace, made
them very welcome and extended
every courtesy to them.''

ACTORS MAY STRIKE.
Claim Managers Are Not Giving Them

Chicago, June ga strike of
more than 1000 actors playing on the
American stage was threatened by
Harry Mountford, secretary of the
board of directors of the White Rats,
at large mass meeting held after
midnight in the Colonial theater
The trouble, according to a num-
Der of speakers who addressed the
audience, is with the managers,
vaudeville associations, and booking
agencies.
1t was declared that the actors
have not been receiving square
DEAL" and that If conditions did not
change in the near future a walk
out" for the entire organization of
White Rats would take place.

FLY.AWAY BALLOON.
Bag Broke From Moorings and Was
Struck by Lightning.

New York. June 26.-Torn from its
moorings of stout rope as If they
were so many strings, the great bal
loon Pomern, which won the Lahm
cup in the International race two years
ago, while being mated in Coney
Island was swept out to sea and in
the midst of veritable cloudburst
struck by lightning and almost con-
sumed.
Four women who were in the bas-
ket of the balloon making things snug
narrowly escaped with their lives by
jumping out of the car as the big bag
scared suddenly away.
AS the basket was whipped into the
air, it swung against the side of the
natatorium and demolished half dozen
windows. The wind, which from the
gentlest kind of a breeze. rose to a
70-mile-an-hour gale, almost in the
twinkling of an eye, drove the bal
loon first straight toward the open
ocean. Later the lightning struck it.

STOCKS ARE STEADY.
Break of First of Week Followed by
Effective Recovery.

New York. June 26-The sharp
break in prices of stocks of the
earlier part of the week was fol-
lowed by an effective recovery and an
irregular tendency. The uncertain
factors in the outlook were fairly re-
fiected in this movement. Heavy
prof1t-takfng and departures for sum-
mer vacations have reduced the
forces at work in the market to an
important degree.
The approach of the July settle
ments in the money market and the
coming of crucial season for the
crops lead naturally to dizziness and
hesitation in stock trading. The
framing of the bill to tax net earn
ings of corporations at Washington
has been followed with some appre-
hension on the part of the financial
world.
