art, who was associated with Sam
Jones In his revival work in the south,
will give something that will be instruc-
tive and entertaining. "Lop-sided
Folks. =" The Mind OF the Mob, will
be very ably discussed by Professor
George Il. Vincent, Of Chicago Uni
versity. He Is Il son of Bishop John

qua movement, ana Is now at the head
of Ii, Doctor Frederick Il. Hopkins,
one OF the greatest orators, will talk

Terry's Show Gave Satisfaction

Terry's Big Uncle Toms Cabin tent
show was all that could be expected
OF 1t and the large audience which at.
tended the performance appeared well
satisfied with both the drama and the
specialties which we're introduced be-
tween the acts. These latter were more
amusing and entertaining thar Audi.
bon people have been accustomed ia
receive from visiting theatrical com.
panles as we'll as being more numerous.
The cakewalk was especially good and
was given In the real old darkey
fashion and with just enough abandon
to make IL interesting TO the spectators.
Some Of the characters we're rather
stitf In their poses and without earn
estness In their ability, yet the drama
was presented smoothly and without
undue butchering. The character OF
"Mark, the Lawyer" was imperson-
ated by Mr.. George Carson Brockway
well-known Audubon boyA and his
Interpretation OF that character was
fully up to the standard OF the cast he
was supporting. There are two other
Audubon boys with the troupe, Clar-
ence Bell and II. l.. Booth, but they
were not In the cast.
At noon the company gave q credit
able parade through the business sec
tion OF the city and In the evening the
band treated the people to fine open
air concert which was greatly appre-
ciated. The performance drew together
an audience which completely filed
the large tent and taxed its seating
capacity to the utmost, all OF which
shows that this grand creation OF Har-
riett Beecher Stowe has lost none OF
its attractiveness for the American

FOR A SAFE AND SANE CELEBRATION
Arrangements Complete for the Big Event
MOnday-MisS Lulu Wells Goddess
of Liberty-Fine Liberty Car

All arrangements for the celebration OF
our natal day in COlfax is complete, only
minor details requiring to be threshed
out. The program in its entirety will be
fully carried out. Citizens generally have
entered with enthusiasm into the work
and those who attend may expect to see
the grandest demonstration ever pulled
off in Colfax.
Miss Lulu Wells has been selected as
the Goddess of Liberty. The liberty car,
containing the Goddess and many beau
tiful girls, will be feature that is receiv
ing special attention. The artistic work
is in the hands Of Miss Lunette Pocock
lt is the wish Of the city officials, as
well as citizens generally, that we have
sale and sane celebration, hetce dan
gerous explosives. such as toy cannon
aud big tirccrackers that are tabOoed by
ordinance, will not be allowed to be used
An ordinance OF the city not only pro-
hibits the use of firecrackers (sO-called)
OF certain size, but fOrbids their expos
ure for sale, so that dealers who sell and
boys or men who use the prohibited ar
tlcle will be subject to arrest for violation
OF the law. Chief OF Police Mackay is
authority for the statement that the law
will be strictly enforced. Several dealers
are understood to have loaded up with
the big explosives, but dealers should
have posted themselves before laying in
a supply. These big crackers are the
cause Of nine tenths Of the accidents
which occur on each recurring anniver-
sary, and the enforcement Of the law at
this time would seem to be the right
thing to do.
E Twin c. Baird, who has charge of the
singing for the occasion, requests that
the singers meet this (Friday) evening at
the M. + church at 8 o'clock to practice
for the exercises to be held Monday. 1t
is thought that at least 80 voices will be
