Chautauqua
Near at Hand.
Big Entertainment Opens in
This City Next Week,
Monday at 2.30.

The final plans for the coming
OF Che Marshall c~hautauqua are now
being made. The personal repre- !
sentative of the Redpath- Vawter
Chautau1ua system has been here
for the past month, telling the
people of the big event and en-
deavoring TO interest as many in
dividuals as possible in the weeks
entertainment. The Eagle lot has
been secured as the site for the
big audience tent and ere long 2
force of men will be spreading the
canvas.
Unusual interest has been man
ifested in the event ON the part OF
the business men OF Marshall. This
part bespeaks the character OF the
program that has been scheduled
for the local city and is a sub
stantial compliment to the appear
anee OF the Redpath-Vawter Chau-
tau1ua system in this city
last year. The advance sale OF
season tickets in much larger than
last year and the management is
preparing to care for at least a
thousand more patrons than were
present a year ago.
Monday is the opening day. Peo-
pie should take notice of this an
nouncement and shape their work
and engagements SO as to be free
during the entire week, commence
ing August 80. There is something
good every day. Holders of season
tickets should bear in mind the
morning lectures by Professor
Ross Turner Campbell, president
Amity College. The season tickets
admit to these lectures. Mr.. Camp
bell never fails to handle his sub
iect in a mastery fashion. He is
scholarly in the treatment OF his
material, yet his long experience in
chautauaua work has made him IA
pable OF entertaining and educa-
ting the more learned and less wide
~ read at the same time. The
morning lectures by Professor
Campbell are sure to be one Of the
treats of the season.
Another feature of this years
chautauqua will be the Redpath
Seton Indians. Any boy or girl be
tween the ages of 6 and IA can play
Indian al the chautau4ua tepees.
Each boy or girl must have a suit
which can be procured from the
Rose & Buckner Clothing company
and a child's season c~hautau1ua
ticket. These cost $1.0O and can be
bought at the above mentioned
clothing store. This is absolutely
all the expense attached to playing
Indian at the chautau1ua. The
instructions, tepees, wigwams,
blankets and various Indian para
phernalia for mock hunts, sham
battles, ETC., is supplied by the chau
tauqua management.
The value of this feature as COM
bining instruction, study, and good
clean wholesome fun and out door
play duying the vacation period
will be readily appreciated by par
ents and teachers. Two tribes of
Indians modelled upon the Seton
plan will be organized thoroughly
