CLOSE
Illuminated Water Pageant TO
BE a Feature of Chautau-
qua Tonight.
A Strong Program for Sunday,
Judge Lindsey, of Denver,
Being Stellar Light.

The Cellna Chautauqua will come to
a close Sunday night, and IL can be
truthfully said we have never had a
more interesting or better balanced
one. We have had perhaps men Of
greater renown 10 talk 10 us on the
various occasions in the past, bat none
whose messages have had a truer ring.
We have had two or three old favor
ties TO return TO us, and IL is 10 hoped
this is not the last Of them.
OF the new talent this year, Dr..
Byron w. King, versatile, logical and
brilliant, has won the hearts of all.
It has been well said that he Is a host
within himself. Few men have such
wearing qualities. Day after day he
has come back, able to interest and
hold his audiences almost beyond
belief.
Herbert Bigelow, cultured, strong
in human sympathies, left his impress
on those who think more than skin
deep. II is not to please the ear alone
that Bigelow talks, for he breaches de-
mocracy in its truest sense, and there
are those among us who feel they are
made Of superior clay that can not
possibly subscribe to his philosophy
they may not understand him, for IL
hurts the head to think.
We do not wish TO dispaIage the
work and lofty sentiment of those who
have contributed as entertainers or
lecturers to the success Of the Chau-
tauqua in singing out Mr.. KING or
Mr.. Bigelow for particular mention,
but the fact remains that their great
talents are being devoted to the COM
mon veal when they could more prof
itably be turned into the channels that
pay bigger financial dividends.
Possibly the weakest and most fu-
tile effort was that of Hon. John ID.
Long, ex-Secretary Of the Navy, to
work up a sentiment for a ship sub
sidy, appealing on the one hand TO the
patriotism Of the people to get it, and
and on the other to the dollar argu-
ment. 1t seemed to be out of tune with
the surroundings, and fell about as
fiat as Senator Foraker's defense of his
attitude on public questions about a
year ago on the same platform. His
address proved a diversion, and also
showed we are progressing in the right
direction a little.
Sunday afternoon we have the re-
nowned Judge Lindsey of Denver for
an address, noted for distinguished
public service along line little ex-
plotted, unless it be at the expense
of the victims. We have reference to
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1910-08-05

his great service to the youth of Den
yer gone wrong or headed in that di-
rection. Big Business, the corrupter
of everything from the cradle to the
grave, have found him a tough nut to
crack, and every man with the human
instinct ought to glad of it. He will
no doubt get a record-breaking and
sympathetic audience.
The Water Carnival Tonight
A feature of the Chautauqua to-
night will be a grand water pageant
that will reach Mercelina Park about
o'clock, in which the leading bust
ness men of the town will participate.
Novel decorations and illuminations
will be in evidence. The expedition
will be fitted out at the Peake boat
landing at the foot of Main street this
morning and afternoon, and help for
that purpose has been secured.
The program for this afternoon is a
musical prelude at 3 o'clock and lee
ture by DR.. King on "Witchcraft" to
follow.
The regular evening program, which
was to begin with a band concert at
o'clock, followed at 7:45 by the final
COuS6Ib ny Tue JuNbullt AOut6El Il
and lecture by DR.. King at O'Clock,
will likely be slightly disarranged by
the water carnival that is scheduled to
reach the grounds at o'clock.

viii Exhibit Patented
Buggy at Banner Fair

DR.. j. A. Schirack and Sebastian
Ranley, of 81. Henry, will exhibit at
the coming Banner Fair one OF their
recently patented buggies. They are
preparing 20 manufacture their inven-
tion on large scale, and IL is believed
they will find ready market for 1t, as
IL is said by those who have seen II TO
possess special merits, and especially
adapted TO the work of rural mail
carriers.

Elmer Brandon last week acquired
stock in the Western Ohio Automobile
Company and last Monday took the
management of the company's garage
on South Main street. For the past
several weeks Representative Vining
has had charge of the garage, but
pressing business compelled him to
turn the management over to some one
else, and as Mr.. Brandon has been do
ing nothing since he retired from the
grocery business some months ago, he
was selected to take charge of the
place.

Alfalfa Biscuit Fine
Food and inexpensive

Out in Nebraska they are eat
ing alfalfa biscuit. The alfalfa
biscuit is something new under
the sun. Half the families in
Omaha are said to be eating it,
and they like it. The dry alfalfa
leaves are ground and mixed
with meal and flour.
To make the alfalfa meal and
flour, the grass is cut early in
June, and at a time when it is in
full bloom. It is cured in the
sun, and, if possible, without be-
ing wet by rain When thor
oughly dry the leaves are strip
ped from the stalks, and these
leaves, mixed with wheat at the
ratio of one third alfalfa and
two-thirds wheat, are ground in
to coarse meal. This meal IS
used for cakes as well as for a
breakfast food That desired for
bread is ground still finer and
when placed upon the market,
can be sold for about 80 cents
per sack of so pounds, whereas
a good grade of wheat -four will
retail at ST. 80 to$1.75 a sack OF
the same weight.
The alfalfa food products are
said to be remarkably nutriti-

of it are green in color.

AS the result of the investiga-
ton of alleged violations of the
anti-gambling laws, which has
been in hand by the Gila county
grand jury for the past several
days, twenty-eight indictments
against eighteen persons were
returned early last week. All of
the indictments were on secret
file and were not made public.
Bench warrants were issued for
the defendants upon the filing of
the indictments with the court.
No arrests were made and none
of the defendants were taken to
Jail. In a number of cases, how
ever, it was admitted that the
parties had been notified to ap-
pear in court to answer to the
charges. 1t is reported that four
indictments have been returned
against peace officers of Globe or
of the county, and that the 9TH
ers are against persons who are
alleged to have conducted gam
bling places. No individual play
ers have as yet been indicted,
and it is understood that action
will be taken only against those
accused of running games, either
personally or for hire.

Telephones To Soon
Gust The Telegraph

When the contracts let by the
Santa Fe for the replacing of the
telegraph lines between Albu
querque and Bakersfield, Cal,
have been completed, practically
the entire system between Chi
cago and the Pacific Coast will
use the telephone for train dis
patching purposes A few gaps
will yet remain between Albu-
querque, New Mexico, and New
ton, Kansas.
The action of the Santa Fe
points to the passing of the telc-
graph as a means of dispatch
ing trains, which is considered
remarkable, as it is only thirty
years ago that the telephone
came into general use.
1t is the theory of railroading
that the train dispatcher is the
chess master of railway move
ment, and he must win every
game. Where a mistake means
death or the great destruction
of property, or both, then the
absolute elimination of mistakes
is the one great effort.
Realizing these conditions,:the
Santa Fe established its original
telephone dispatching circuit in
June, 1908, in the dry climate of
Colorado. It was a success. As
soon as this was realized, imme
diate steps were taken to extend
the system to widely separated
sections Of the line, so as to test
it in all conditions of climate.
During the early part of 1909,
1862 miles of telephone train
dispatching circuits were in oper-
alton on the Santa Fe in Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Illinois, Colorado,
New Mexico and California. The
longest single circuit reaches
from Fresno, Cal, to San Fran
cisco, 2O3 miles, with thirty-two
stations. Another circuit reaches
from Fresno to Bakersfield In
a wear the various circuits will
approximate 5000 miles, cost
ing in the neighborhood of 500
a mile.

Indian Delegation
Protests to Congress

A delegation Of Usage Indians
of Oklahoma, the richest tribal
nation on earth, was in Wash
ington last week to protest
against any effort to reopen the
enrolment of their tribe. There
are several measures before Con

entitled to $500 of trust funds.
They have been granted title to
the surface of the land, while
the underlying minerals have
been reserved to the tribe for a
period of twenty-five years from

It is said that about thirty
thousand acres of land have been
taken up in the Wallapai valley,
aside from that located some
time ago by tie Jacobson sy n,
dicate, below blackberry. The
lands recently located by intend
ing settlers lies about two miles
from Kingman, along the rim of
the valley and into one of the
richest parts. The locators are
getting together on a plan to
Gig wells for domestic and agri-
cultural purposes, although the
lands, as a whole, will be tarmed
by the dry method. 1t has been
demonstrated that fifteen inches
of rain falls in this valley annu-
ally, which is sufficient to insure

Maricopa & Phoenix passenger
train last week. The youths are
only Is and 19 years old. Each
with a pair of guns went
through the passengers, reliev-
ing them of about $500 in cash.
Nothing but cash was taken.
They compelled the brakeman to
stop the train near the ella
river. Two deputy sheriffs on
the train thought it was Joke,
and the robbers took their guns
away from them. The young
bandits have been captured and
admitted the robbery. The boys
came from Oklahoma recently,
and had been working on a farm
