1t is such an unusual thing for a
Vermont newspaper to have an
opportunity to pass an opinion up
on the merits of a new Vermont
book by a Vermont author that
the first and most natural impui Sc
is to hail such a work with some
thing like perfunctory praise in
grateful recognition of the all too
significant fact that a book of
this kind must of necessity be
largely a labor of love. And es-
pecially when the book is a his
tory, and by reason of that fact
alone must of necessity be con-
fined in its circulation to the com
paratively few that find such sub
jects interesting, the venture of
the author is all the more disinter-
ested and deserving.

said: People who think that this re-

without religion are either mentally
unbalanced or very much mistaken.

not framed by q crowd of loafers at a

fearing and believing men who found

ment OF all the life of the nation. His

are squareness and honesty, and the
finding of points of contact with all

OPENS NEXT MONDAY, JULY 10
Exercises Begin at 2:30-.-Music by the
Commonwealth Qnartette---Lecture
by DR. Markley-.In the Evening
Ralph Bingham Will Give
.sThe Funniest Ever"

The following report given by The
West Liberty Index of their Chautau-
qua is worthy of a perusal by all of
our readers:
1.-THE writer gets more satisfaction
out of the success of the West Liberty
Chautauqua than any enterprise with
which he has been connected in a busy
life of more than a quarter of a centu
ry. lie knows that the Ch~autauqua is a
good thing, helpful, elevating, educa-
tional, and so long as he shall occupy
the editorial box he will advocate moth
ing that does not come within these
definitions, 1t is worth all its cost as
an object lesson to the youth alone.
Here they see the great men of the
nation. wearingthe same sort of clothes
as the men of their community wear,
uttering the same thoughts that kindle
in their own breasts. eating, drinking
and making merry-just mortals after
all, temporarily elevated above their
fellows. In Hoch and Cadman and Ian
dis and Alden the boy sees an example
of the eminence which it is possible
for him to attain.
Then there are the aged and infirm
who are unable to go abroad to hear
these lectures and entertainments. AS
hundreds of these pioneers who blazed
the way for our present day c~iviliza-
ton received o meager education in a
log school house-and many of them
did not have this opportunity-to such
a Chautauqua at their door is a feast
of fairness. In these days of rush and
push those of us engaged in the mad
whirl should everhave in mind the cas-
ing of declining years for the aged and
the guiding Alright of the steps of the
children who shall live after IS and fill
our places in society, the church, state
1t is said C~hautauqua is not a bust
ness bringer; but this is not true. We
believe every merchant in West Liber-
ty had more than an average busigess
last week. The writer knows from per-
sonal observation that a half dozen
ladies in attendancefrom West Branch
each tookhome liberal purchases made
in West Liberty. Hundreds OF people
we're here who were never seen in town
except at the fair, and many OF them
left a piece of monev Towns people
were unusually liberal patrons of the
groceries and meat markets in the pur-
chase of ready to eat foods.
But it is indeed a narrow soul who
views every affair of life from a sordid
and mercenary standpoint. There are

aided as a model Chautauoua town,
Every speaker on the platform this
year heard of the town long before he
saw it and expressed his high opinion
of it publicly and privately. West Lib
erty is the best advertised town in
C~hautauqua circles in the state of Iowa
This is worth something, some of our
esteemed fellow citizens to the contrary
Notwithstanding
The Index has been a staunch friend
and supporter Of the C%hautauqua, as
some may know. And what is more it
will keep on saving wood at the old
stand. 1t boosts the Chautauqua pri-
marily because it is a good thing and
secondly because it wants to see the
country people come to town. They did
come. There we're more people from
the country under the big tent at every
session than there were from town.
What with telephones, free delivery
and the like our country cousins are
drifting away from us. The interest OF
the people of town and country are
mutual andidentical and The Index is
DESTROYS of providing entertainments
which will enable them to mix and
mingle as of wore.
Then the Chautauqua has a feature
possessed by no other outdoor enter
tainment. There are no campfollowers
no buns, thugs or shell game artists
in it's wake. The school grounds are
not strewn with whiskey bottles as they
would be had a circus occupied them
for a week or even q day. There was
not the slightest need of an officer on
the ground and not one arrest was
made in town in the entire week. The
people of our city went to the Chau-
tauqua leaving every door in their
houses wide open and not a thing was
molested. There was not an %irreverent
immoral or indecent act or utterance
from the platform in the widely varied
programs of the week. This isthe kind
of an entertainment that ought to APP
peal to an intelligent and refined COM
munity, such as West Liberty and the
vicinity is.
The subject has not been exhausted
but the writer will quit here, He is
rather glad that the derth of adver-
Using permits this much on a subject
in which he is vitality interested. The
Index is already booking orders for
Chautauqua tickets for 1910.

DRINKING ON TRAINS

One OF the good laws passed by the
last general assembly makes it a heavy
penalty to drink liquor upon a train
anywhere in the state Of Iowa. This
law went into effect July 4 and con-
ductors have full authority for making
arrests for its violation. Some men
have made 1t a practice to carry a bot
tie with them and greatly offended
other passengers by drinking in their
presence. This has been particularly
true of excursions which have been
used as occasions for a debauch by
men whose conduct was an insult to all
right-thinking people.

A Heavy Wind Storm

Just before dark Sunday evening a
heavy wind storm passed over the
northern part of the county, through
the townships of Lincoln, Cameron
and Viola. In some places there was
a little hail but not sufficient to do any
damage. The corn was blown down so
that many farmers had to wait until
Tuesday for it to straighten up that
they might continue the cultivation.
Though the storm created much alarm
the result was not very serious.

A RAILROAD MEETING
The Commercial Club Engages Mr. Daley
10 Solicit Subscriptions

At a meeting of the Audubon Com

was decided to- employ Mr.. Daley at
an expense of three hundred dollars
to solicit subscriptions for the inter-
urban railroad from Audubonto Coun-
Gil Bluffs. Mr.. Daley has been at work

sending out a solicitor is to determine
the sentiment of the farming communi-
ty through which the road would run
and see IL it Is strong enough to fur
| nish q proper share OF the necessary
funds to put the project on its feet.
That q road will be built through
this county within two or three years
admits of little doubt because it is
right In line between two growing
cities and contains q territory rich in
products that need transportation.
The only question is which survey will
be chosen. The people out along the
II iSOuo oui fOJ S"h ohiCiy oSSN'S VIZ
road II they pull hard enough to secure
ii. They are now afforded a great OPP
p~ortunity to have an east and west
road leading to Omaha on the west and
the Capital City OF our state on the
east. With the building OF the road
assured all the lands within five miles
on either side would advance in price
from ten to twenty-five dollars an acre
which would be many times the amount
OF subscription necessary to build the
road. Mr.. Daley Is expected to com
mence his work next week and the
Commercial Club bespeaks for him q
cordial reception.
Another matter that received con-
sideration was the question OF motor
cars on the North Western. Judge
Green has been interesting himself
along this line and reported that the
officials of that road had consented &c
come to Audubon and hold a confer
ence with q committee that might be
selected for that purpose. The follow
ing gentlemen were appointed such
committee: Judge Green, Mayor Spen

matter of conjecture.

letter to Mr.. Hindman came, another
from Rice, dated at Morehead, came
to Mr. Hindman's attorneys, Messrs
Watkins & Watkins, in which was
urged that Mr. Cain be called off the
scent, the evident purpose being to
avoid prosecution by making some
sort of settlement of his defalcations
here, which net about $4,000, so far
as Receiver Hindman can figure out.
This will of course be refused, so far
as Receiver Hindman is concerned. al
