"The old world has nothing to
compare with Niagara, the Natural
! Bridge, Mammoth Cave, Yellowstone
Park, Yosemite Valley or the Grand
Canon of the Colorado. The ancient
wonders of the old world were the
crystalized sweat of human toll;
monuments to the institution of hui
man slavery. Our natural scenic
wonders attest the transcendent
power of the Infinite. No hammer
blow is heard about them, no crack
of the whip of the slave driver;
they are doubly sublime because they
were erected by the Architect of the
Universe"
DR.. Chase comes with an argument
of the old time ring, that hurls the
lie into the face OF metropolitan pre-
tenders who delight in speaking Of
westerners as proyincials. There is
virile strength, native vigor in
his address that finds ready re-
Spouse in his hearers
Infidelity, humbugs, race suicide
come in for their share of the Doc
tors attention. His more serious
treatment of these topics is embell-
ished with anecdotes, illustrations
and apt stories, so cleverly interwov-
en- that the interest of the audience
never lags
DR.. Chase is an orator; voice az
clear as bell, OF just the proper
volume and pleasing to the ear. His
lectures are happy combinations OF
wit and wisdom, bristling with self
evident truths which cannot be too
often repeated His visit to our COM
munity to speak at the Chautauqua
this season will be looked forward
to with much interest.
In his platform work as every
where, Father MacCorry is moved by
deep purpose to help. No lecturer
is more apt in imparting those vital
truths that lie at the very founda-
lions of civilization. For this rea-
son his lectures are not merely enter
tainment numbers but have decided
educational value as we'll
Throughout his every platform
production there also runs strong
and wholesome moral tone that en-
cages the hearts of all and adds Won
derfully to the value Of Chautauqua
and Lyceum work.

The Kirksmiths are coming to our
Chautauqua this season. They will
be the musical attraction for the first
day. This makes the first day big
day and starts the Chautauaua off
with whirl.
This happy combination OF femi-
nine genius and grace is the most
popular of musical attractions, Of it's
kind. The individual members are
so talented-so clever. They put so
much vim and spirit into their pro-
grams Their music gets right down
into the hearts of the people
All together, in spirited and we'll
chosen ensemble selections, their mu-
sic is heroic and sublime. They have
varied and popularized their pro-
grams to the last note. They present
In rapid succession, solos, duets,
trios, quartettes, both instrumental
and vocal. There are no interms-
sions. When the Kirksmiths play
every moment is given to music
In their solo productions IL would
not do to omit special mention Of the
remarkably effective work of Miss
Lillian with the fute-for she has
established herself at the very front
with this sweet instrument. Among
lady flute artists she is without
peer.
Miss Maud, leader of the Orches-
ira, is vlolinist of great power and

samples of her art in solo numbers.
While Miss Gertrude, with be-
witching sweet vocal offerings, never
fails to charm everyone by the pow

The Kirksmiths will open the
Chautauqua programs and start them
off in such fine form that everybody
will be glad they are alive and that
such rare treats are available to cheer
the heart and break the monotony of
the long summer OF toll.

"A Lyceum Star.
In his missionary efforts Father
MacCorry is uncompromising In pre-
senting the doctrines OF Catholicity.
while at the same time carefully
avoiding the polemical attitude which
only arouses and exaggerates religi-
Gus prejudice. He stands in the fore
most rank as a promoter Of temper
ance. Exhortation to total abstinence
is a characteristic of his mission
preaching, and many of his most brill
liant flights OF oratory, and his most
burning contributions to the press,
have been called forth by this sub
ject. Father MacCorry began his
Lyceum work fifteen years ago, scor-
ing such q success that his fame has
become national in its scope. His
best known lectures are The Story

About The Weather

March was unusually warm. April
and May unpleasantly COOL June has
been warm and part of it very hot The
whole spring has been very dry. The
pastures We're burning up as they do in
August. The corn was beginging to
suffer. The small grain win be short
and the hay crop will be thin. But
Saturday brought us a rain, real good
rain accompanied by thunder and
lightning. Sunday night we had some
more The farmers are smiling again
and the business men are delighted
With occasional showers our main crop
will be assured Iowa seldom fails to
give good crops Many other sections
are not so certain. Iowa land is nice to
own but is becoming hard to get.

Pan Of Water For Squirrels

Water for the Dog" 1t was not plea
for keeping dogs but one for giving
them plenty of water in hot weather,
Why not pan of water for the squir-
rels? We know the squirrels like water
because we have seen them drink like a

The President And Farmers Smile.

has become famous, and it is hoped
that it may also become contagious.
When congress adjourned on Saturday
night and the President signed the last
bill his smile was broader than common
because of the good work that had been
done. And when that refreshing rain
came on Saturday evening the farmers
smiled and are still smiling to see the
reviving and growing crops. Let the
President and the farmer smile and
most other people will smile with them.

There is something bewitehing In
the work of really great magician.
or course, we all understand that
the effects produced are unreal. But
their pretense of reality is so we'll
/ founded-they seem so real--that all
wits are set agog.
4 There is something fascinating
about an air, OF mystery. Everybody
wants to understand the thing that
defles the understanding. The won
derful popularity of detective stories
is accounted for by the presence of
/ the mystery that furnishes the thread
of the story.
The words Magic and Mystery sug-
gest The Floyds.
No end OF things could be said
about them. They have devoted
their lives to this class of enter
tainment. They have refined and
beautified it. They have made II one
of the most sought after of all pure
ly entertainment numbers.
Floyd himself is great original
genius Long ago he abandoned all
tricks that are common to tho pro-
fession He presents nothing that is
not his own invention. His programs
have, therefore. freshness and rel
ish that make them all the more en-
joyable.
Floyd is without doubt the most
clever exponent of pure sleight-of-
hand the Chautauqua has ever seen.
He was the pioneer and still main
tains the lead. He has designed and
presented more new and original
tricks than any Magician living. He
has but to command and the most
unheard of things happen.
In addition to his wonderful works
OF magic, Floyd Is wit All through
his entertainment there runs a
sparkling thread of humor that adds
very much to the enjoyment. His
audiences are kept in state Of con-
slant merriment.
Mohala--. Mrs. Floyd--who always
accompanies him, furnishes sec
ton Of the program that is wonder
full beyond description. While Sc
curely blindfolded on the platform,
she is able to tell the time OF day,
read letters, tell the number on your
watch case, on bank note and n
hundred other things just as marve-
lous.
The programs of the Floyds are
replete with humor and witticisms as
well as choice music rendered by Mr..
Allard, who rounds out to completion
one of the greatest entertainment
numbers the world has ever seen.
And The Floyds are coming to our
Chautauqua this summer.

Cuban people no higher obligation of
good neighborliness than that of helping
the best among them to bring the whole
population to a higher plane of religion
and morality. tropical climate, natural
resources that supply the necessities of
life without the most rigorous toll, and
other like conditions create seductions to
evil which easily allure the people from
paths of piety. A feeble faith can not
stand in such an atmosphere. The Gu

not be religious at all; their faith must
flourish in tropical luxuriance, or it will
be overgrown by tropical immoralities

San Juan Hill has been covered with
memorials of the battle which was fought
there In 1898. A permanent and enduring
structure has taken the place of the old
Dlock-house which crowned the crest of
the hill when the Americans took 1t from
the Spaniards, and from IT one can see
the field and learn how the forces wero
distributed on that memorable day when
Spanish sovereignty went down at last

rank of the American officers who were
engaged have been inscribed on bronze
tablets, and at the foot of the HILL around

surrender were agreed to commonly

other tablets bearing the names of the
