Boost fer the Chautauqua.

Old Settlers Day was a hummer
from star: to finish, and everybody
had the best time ever, which goes to
show what the people can do when
they want good time, and no people
on earth are better fitted to enjoy the
fruits Of prosperity than the good
people OF the Big Sioux Valley. Can
ton loves to entertain her friends and
the public In general, and Canton's
business men. besides being the best
business men in the state, are as
liberal as they are hospitable, and
ready at all times to provide enter
tainment for their friends and neigh
bOrs in Canton and the surrounding
country and the old settlers went
home full of the joys OF pleasant
celebration.
Now comes the annual Chautauqua
July l-l0. ten days OF song, music,
magic, Oratory, moving pictures and
comedy. Ten days of pleasure and
profit for young and old, ten after
moons and evenings of splendid enter
tainment for all. Our business men
are behind the prog ram and guarantee
the expense OF this magniicant com
bination. They are not in this work
for profit, their chief ambition Is to
provide first class entertainment for
all at a cost within the reach of any
pOcketboOk. Ii there is any money
left after paying all bills, the surplus
will be used to keep the big audito-
rum In proper condition for enter
tainments, therefore. it becomes the
duty of every one to do little boost
Ing for the Chautauqua, in order that
it may succeed and thus encourage
future events. Those who live in
towns aud country within radius of
ten miles constitute population OF
10000 people and with good teams and
autos the drive is pleasure when
the weather is good. 1t affords the
farmer and his good wife and children
a little recreation with entertainment
and the opportunity should not be
neglected The platform will be in
charge Of Prof. Lawrence, Rev. DIR.
Buriff aud Rev. Green. These gentle
men will introduce the talent and
make all announcements. Ed. T..
w endt will have charge of the ticket
Office and behind all comes the united
support OF the business men Of the
city. Buy season ticket for your
self and wife, and the young men will
take care OF the young ladies, and
children under 10 will be admitted
free when accompanied by their
parents. Twenty entertainments for
. " season ticket, % cents for each
admission II you don't buy season
ticket, and young people from 10 to
Is can buy season ticket for $l,OO.
This Is the time when the people of
Canton should show q public spirit
worthy of emulation by their friends
in the country. Every man and
woman can do their share In making
the Canton Chautauqua for 1910 the
mcst successful ever held.

republicans have to take up with one
or the other classification because the
aggressive leadership has been with
the extremists. Mr.. Roosevelt is ag-

could he do the country more good

full name Is George Randolph Barnes.
My father was born in Conn. and

and went to England where he enlist
ed in the British army. At that time

One on the Editor.

Coming back from the Black Hills
last week over the Northwestern from
Rapid City, the train schedule gave
us 20 minutes for dinner At Philip,
and the first man to greet us as we
entered the dining room OF the hotel
was Attorney Claude Bennett,
formerly of Canton and son of Mr..
and Mrs. Bennett. Claude looked good
to q Cantonite SO far from home, and
taking q seat to his left he introduced
us to q very charming young lady
seated at his right, the name we
didn't catch owing to the rush of
hungry passengers, but we took it for
granted that it was Mrs. Claude
Bennett, and while enjoying good
dinner and q discussion of things in
general, we mentally congratulated
Mr.. Bennett In selecting such charm
ing young lady for life partner.
After dinner the three of us walked
to the corner nearest the depot, when
Mr.. Bennett said he expected to be in
Canton during the Chautauqua and
we turned to the young lady and
remarked: "Of course you will come
with Mr.. Bennett?" which remark
was answered with; "Oh, don't
know about that" and the sweetest
little blush you ever saw was visible
just as the engine bell rang and the
cars moved and away went on the
run. After getting seated began to
realize or rather figure 1t out that,
perhaps, was mistaken In my matri-
monial estimate and that Claude was
not married and that the young lady
was not Mrs. Bennett, then I deter
mined to find out when / reached
Canton, and the information received
from Mr.. Bennett Sr., convinced me
that Claude had sent home no wedd-
Ing announcements or in any infOr-
nation that he had been retained to
try case In Cupid's court, or any
thing to back up the unspoken con-
gratulations would have been glad
to extend IL that old engine bell
hadn't set me running. Nevertheless
we hope Claude won't come down to
the ChautauQua alone.

Some of the boys out In the country
called tho Editor down last Saturday
because the LEADER didn't published
full details Of the Mallory arrest. We
told the boys that we had just re-
turned from the Black Hills and
didn't know anything about the de-
tails and It was more than likely that
the details were barred by decency
and the postal laws.

rated. They have one child, a boy of )
years, who has been living with his
mother and will remain ID her Gus
tody.
During the trial, last week. charging
inhdelity on the part of the husband,
Mrs. Gold testified that Gold desert
ed her for a waitress in a Market
street restaurant and hat they lived
together as man and wife under the
name of "Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown,
at Mrs. Carrie Taylor's boarding
house. 16 Warren street. They stayed

Mrs. Gold engaged w. Leslie Price,
while Andrew Van Blarcom defended
the man, who made a strenuous denial
of every charge that incriminated him.
In mis- decision the vice-ehaneellor
said:
"The weight of the evidence is with
the petitioner. Her witnesses are all
intelligent witnesses. speaking as 10
facts Of which they must have been
cognizant, and as to which they could
not be mistaken. 1t is inconceivable
that they have, without motive, been
willing to perjure themselves. They
were not only disinterested witnesses,
but they were independent of each
other"
