Chautauqua Notes.

Sheriff Rock attended chau-
tauqua Saturday.
A. w. Blackburn of Logan
came down SATURDAY. afternoon
to hear Gov. Shallenberger.
The rain has not dampened
the enthusiasm of the campers.
They are a cheerful lot and
are making the most of their
opportunities.
The Boosters have a tent on
the grounds.
The rest tent for women is
now up. Make it your head
quarters.
Gov. Shallenberger was billed
to speak in Omaha Saturday
evening at eight o'clock and,
there being no trains that
would put him there by that
time, C. H. Deur took him
down in his auto. It was quite
a muddy trip but Mr.. Deur got
him there on time.
There are thirty. eight tents
at the chautauqua grounds to
date.
Miss Marion Shepard of Log
an attended chautauqua in this
city yesterday.
Mrs. Kate Clarke of Norfolk,
Nebr., is in this city visiting re /.
latives during chautauqua.
O. B. Towne, City Editor of
the Nonpareil of Council Bluffs
was in the city yesterday TAX
ing scenes and notes on Mo VAL

was very highly pleased with
the program and he said our
chautauqua grounds were the
finest he had ever visited.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis of the

MONDAY AFTERNOON.

Monday afternoon the Hun.

Daggy furnished the entertain.
mont for the chautauqua pat.
rons. For one hour the Hun.
garian Orchestra held the plat.
form playing new pieces and
pleasing the audience as usual.
The remainder of the afternoon
Mr.. Daggy, our platform man
ager gave several readings from
James Whitcomb Riley. He
impersonated the characters so
we'll that you would catch your
self thinking he was the very
man the poem was written
about. He gave a brief des-
cription and synopsis of this
great poets life and in all it
was one of the best entertain
ments the chautauqua has had.
Those who are engaged in
the habit of settling all argu-
mental differences, engaging in
wrestling matches and pugilis-
tic encounters near the chsu-
tauqua tent will be surprised if
they are put out and not al
lowed to come back in for a
few seasons. If your mind
isn't broad enough to grasp the
ideas of the speaker or enter.
tainer just keep still or get out
maybe the person next or in
froLt of you is interested.
The New Zealanders will be
here tonight in connection with
the rest of the program. The
Rawles entertainment is a kind
of Polynesian play picturing
the old wild life of the savage
tribes of the South Seas, in
sharp contrast to the present
day civilization of the same
people, who now boast the best
government under the sun.

did weep. Until the rain started
Mr.. Parlette held his audience
in rapt attention for he has a
delivery and form that creates
a smile but one cannot help
feeling the earnestness of the
man. He is thoroughly compe-
tent and his hearers cannot
help seeing Gods hand in all
nature. Riches are not what
we have in our pocket but our
capacity to enjoy nature and
na'ure's manifestations. But
for natures manifestation last
evening, the audience would
have heard one of the best lect-
ures of the course but a
speaker cannot talk against a
sea of raised umbrellas, espec-
tally when he is lodging rain
by the bucketful himself.
After the rain had ceased
he New Zealanders gave a
short lecture on their life and
habits in their far away home.
1t was very interesting talk
but was necessarily abridged
on account of the discomfort of
the audience.
Moral Don't go to the chau-
tauqua without an umbrella,
rain coat, rubber boots and a
fan. You can't tell what kind
of weather is going to come.
AS Mr.. Parlette said,
There's one thing worse than
mud and that is no mud"
Everybody took their soak
log last evening good natured-
y. We can't expect perfect
weather all the time. Keep up
your spirits and attend the
chautauqua rain or shine.
Just think how much more
money the bus man makes this
kind of weather, so you see it
does some good after all.
And they say the campers
tents didn't leak a drop.
If the campers are not dis
couraged with this kind of
weather you surely can stand
lit for an afternoon and evening.
This rain is a good thing to
fill up the lagoon.
Sheriff Rock was a chautau-
qua visitor yesterday.
With a little nice weather
the chautauqua grounds would
look like an automobile show.
There must have been twenty
five machines present yester-
day and the roads were none
too good at that.
Did you ever notice what an
appetite you have when
you take your lunch at the
grounds? A little thing like
flies, ants and mosquitoes don't
seem to bother at all.

Sixth chautauqua Opens

SlXtn Gnautduqua OpenS
Saturday last, August 18th,
the Sixth annual session of the
Missouri Valley chautauqua
opened with the largest open
ing crowd in the history of our
chautauquas. Even though
the weather man was against it
the chautauqua tent was filled
to its capacity. At 2::30 w.
NJ. Carlisle Pres, Of the 1910
chautauqua introduced the
Sixth annual chautauqua to its
patrons and explained how the
association was becoming more
able every year to give its pat
rons better talent and accomo.
dations, due to the fact that
every family in this vicinity
gives it their utmost support.
The success of a chautauqua,
depends entirely upon the peo-
pie. 1t is not a money making
scheme nor does the secretary
and association work day and
night for two months for a
compensation. Every thing
done to make the chautau-
qua a success is done free.
Any surplus that is left over
from one year is put into talent
for the next. This is one or
ganization that doesn't pay
dividends to the stockholders
but draws pretty heavily from
them in case it goes behind.
Mr.. Carlisle then introduced
the platform manager, Prof.
Lee Daggy, of the University
Of Washington at Seattle.
That Mr.. Daggy was the proper
man for that position was de.
cided Immediately after he be-
gan to talk. A chautauqua
without a good platform mana
ger is like a ship at sea without
q rudder. It is essential that
he have a voice thae can be
heard throughout the tent, he
must keep order, he must be
thoroughly acquainted with the
talent and their text and a
dozen other things. Mr.. Dag
gy fills that position nicely and
If the 1910 chautauqua isn't q
success it will not be his fault.
He is Professor of Rhetoric and
Oratory in the University of
Washington at Seattle.
The Hungarian Orchestra of
seven pieces was then intro
duced and for three quarters of

encespellbound with their fine
music. It is unnecessary to 60

solos which more than pleased
the audience and gave them an
opportunity of hearing singing
of the highest class.
Several musical selections by
the entire orchestra and a vio-
lin solo by one Of the members
made the evening pass very de-
lightfully. Sunday evening
was an ideal evening and most
of the chautauqua patrons took
advantage of the fact by taking
their lunch to the grounds.

MONDAY EVENING

The farewell performance Of
the Royal Hungarian Orchestra
last evening was up to the
standard set the previous days.
They are all artists and the
music they deliver holds the au-
dience in rapt attention
whether it be classical, patriotic
or ragtime. Each number was
encored and the vast audience
heard the closing number with
much regret.
The Irvine Concert Company
followed the orchestra and It
was quite a task for a concert
company to hold the audience
after the orchestra but the con-
cert company did it without an
effort. This was their first ap-
pearance in our city but we
predict we will hear them
again.
Their program consisted of
vocal and instrumental music
and reading, all of which was
of the highest order and was
fully appreciated by the audi
ence as indicated by the hearty
applause.
The evening ended all too
quickly for the most present
but all left hoping to hear the
Irvine Concert Company at
some future date.

most of the time. The even
ing was enjoyed by all.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON


The management had featur-
ed Senator Gore for Sunday af-
ternoon, but owing to the in
vestigation now going on in
Oklahoma in which the Senator
has taken quite a prominent
part, he was unable to appear.
The management secured the
country for a man to take his
place but were about to give up
in despair and accept some in
ferior speaker when word was
received that Ex-Gov. Yates, of
Illinois, was available. The
Secretary fastened to Council
Bluffs where Gov. Yates was
stopping a few days and com.
pleted the negotiations.
The Gov and Congressman
Walter |. Smith received an
ovation as they entered the
tent showing the substitution,
while disappointing in some re-
spects was also pleasing in
others.
After the musical program
by the Royal Hungarian Orch
estra Prof. Daggy introduced
Walter I. Smith as master of
ceremonies. Mr.. Smith then
in a few brief words introduced
Richard Yates son of Illinois
war Governor, "Dick" Yates,
to the vast audience. Mr..
Yates then held his audience
for two hours with one Of the
most mastery and we'll deliver
ed addresses heard here in a
long time. He has a message
and he goes into the telling of
| it with such force that his au-
dience cannot help being with
him. His theme was Give
Smooth Stones from the Brook"
and his discourse proved con-
clusively that every dark cloud
has a silver lining. After the
address Mr.. Yates held an in
formal reception and all who so
desired could shake hands with
the famous son of a famous
father"
Mr.. Yates has a strong per-
sonality and we hope he may
appear again at our chautauqua
at some future date.
SUNDAY EVENING
Sunday evening at the chau-
tauqua the patrons were again
favored with hearing the Hun
garian Orchestra. The entire
evenings entertainment was
rendered by the orchestra. The
soloist, who is travelling with
the Hungarians, sang three

bers will be read by the Pres.

ct dinner on that day.
TUESDAY
One hundred and ten paid
admissions were taken in at
the chautauqua ticket gate last
night.
The livery men say business
was real good for them last
especially good after
the rain.
We noticed farmers from
eight and ten miles distance at
the chautauqua last evening.
They surely show the right
spirit.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. H. johnson
and family, of Logan, drove
down in their automobile yester-
day to attend chautauqua
Miss Theresa McCoid, of Lo
gan, was among the out Of
town visitors at the chautau-
qua yesterday.
Mrs. r. L Coulthard, of Cal.
attended chautauqua
yesterday.
Ellis Jones is now farming
by telephone. He drove his
in to the chautauqua
yesterday and it is now stored
in the Floral Hall. He phones
to the farm several times a
day and tells them what he
would do it he were home but
remains in town to talk politics
He is open for engagements
for meals and lodging so if you
have either to spare just let
Mr.. Jones know.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
The program opened with
the Strollers Quartette Concert
Company and as a musical or
ganization they are unsurpass
ed. 1t is entirely a male quar-
tette and their program con-
sists of instrumental and vocal
solos, readings and quartette
work. Each one of the young
men is a polished musician,
some having been in Grand
Opera, and each takes his turn
at entertaining the audience.
It was their first appearance on
our chautauqua platform and

known throughout the world.
They have played in foreign
countries before the nobilitles
and are considered among the
three best of their kind. The
next hour and a half the pa
irons listened to one of the
most popular and forcible
speakers of the day, Gov. A. C.
Shallenberger, of Nebraksa,
the man who has stirred things
up in his state by fighting the
the brewers and standing for
equal rights for every citizen
of Nebraska. He has the
honor of being the only living
democrat elected Governor Of
the republican state of Ne
braska and by the greatest ma
jority that a Governor ever re-
ceived. He is about the bust
est man in the state of Ne
braska today, fighting the liq-
uor men and we were very for
tunate indeed to secure him
for the few hours that he was
here. His talk was upon "Pa-
triotism" and his ideas and ex-
pressions will dwell in the
minds of his listeners forever,

and force that cannot be for.

The Governor didn't seem so
much of a stranger to us,
though this was his first ap-
pearance here, as he is a
brother-in-law of Mrs. Hoyer,
of this city. At the close of
his address, closed the first af-
ternoon's entertainment of the
1910 chautauqua and the uni
versal opinion was, 81 am glad
| was there"
With just a little sunshine
and less rain we predict the
1910 chautauqua a decided sue
cess.
SATURDAY EVENING
The Hungarian Orchestra
gave a three quarters of an
hour of music of the highest
quality. Each is an artist on
his particular instrument and
the blending is one Of the best
musical organizations on the
chautauqua platform.
Prof. Lee Daggy, the plat
form manager, delivered the
address of the evening which
was forceful strong and elo-
quent. Prof. Daggy has a
command of language that is
bound to hold an audience and
with his many gems of thought
and occasional burst of humor,
keeps an audience on tip toe

the audience took them in from
their opening number. They
were encored repeatedly and
each encore seemed to give
better satisfaction than the
previous number.
The remainder of the after
noon Byron C. Piatt delivered
his famous lecture and appeal,
"The Mass Against the Man"
Mr.. Piatt is a forceful talker
and is thoroughly wrapped up
in his subject. There is moth
ing entertaining nor humorous
in his lecture but it is simply a
big mans appeal to the parents
and children to help drive out
the great social evil that is
threatening this country and
the world with destruction. It
is a delicate subject but it was
handled in a mastery way by
Mr.. Piatt and a great deal Of
good will, no doubt, resulted
from his energetic crusade.
TUESDAY EVENING
The Strollers Quartette Con-
cert Company entertained the
audience for three quarters of
an hour most delightfully."-.
Their program was in two parts,
the first being Scottish songs
with costumes and the last
sailor lore and yarns also in
costumes. This is a superb or
ganization and the audience
seemed 10th to let them leave,
they being encored for some
time after they left the plat
form.

ence in laughter and tears for|
half an hour when even the
heavens wept, and oh how they

These contracts are opposed by Gov
