We call special attention TO the fear

but hoping that il may arouse greater
caution in some of our local drivers and

fast clip. The lights went out u few
miles out of Perry and with the moon
light dimmed by clouds, Mr. Hart failed
to note the fatal turn in the road The
machine dashed straight forward and
collided with heavy corner fence post.
The post was broken square off, but the
wires stopped the machine The force
of the impact threw the five men from
the machine. Hart was hurled upon
the fence and was found hanging there
half an hour later by Mr.. Van Deventer

Henry M. Warner and Edward Jennings
were found lying unconscious in front
of the machine and under the fence.
Mr.. Van Deventer left other members
of his party ut the scene and hurried
TO the nearest telephone to give the
alarm. Five physicians, two from Pa
nora, one from Yale and two from Perry
were quickly on the scene coming in
automobiles. II was about 80 this
morning before Hart, Warner and Jen.
nings recovered consciousness and were
brought TO Panora. Mr.. Culhertson
failed to recover and was taken to the
farm home of Mr.. Wolf nearby where
he still lies. Physicians say he can't

HOW NAPOLEON WON
BY LEE F. LYBARGER
Who Will AnaiyZe This Wonderful
Modern Character AT Chautauqua
Next Saturday Afternoon.

Lee Francis Lybarger has been
called THE Demosthenes of Ameri-
ca" The Wabasha, Minnesota, Stan
dard remarks: 1T is safe to say we
have in him a modern Patrick Hen
ry."
Upon his visit to our Chautauqua
this season, Mr. Lybarger will ana
lyZe the character and works of the
most interesting character of mod
ern times-Napoleon Bonaparte. He
will show how Napoleon achieved his
successes and define the elements
that made them possible. He will
shed a food of light upon a very
interesting subject
And not only SO, Mr.. Lybarger has
the rare faculty of pointing out how
the qualities by which others won
may be largely cultivated by all,
greatly to their advantage. Before
his lecture closes there is a very gen
eral wish in the hearts of all to arise
and do some great things themselves.
This is the triumph of oratory.
Through all ages it has been invoked
Tor this very purpose. Antony, over
the dead body of Caesar, by the use
of oratory, turned the currents of
street crowd to do his bidding. All
along the line of history, oratory has
been a vital force in life's real
achievements.
Mr.. Lybarger has traversed the
whole field Of thought and specula-
ton. He has ever been most vitality
concerned with the things that have
to do with human life and happiness.
No man of this age has pursued his
studies with more vigor or been more
eager for the truth on the great con-
Germs of life. The results of these
years of patient investigation appear
with great force and clearness in his
lecture How Napoleon Won"

The Girl And The FaWn.

The little fourteen year old daughter
of Frank Rold caught young fawn n
few days ago. She had gone to the
pasture after the cattle, accompanied
by large dog When going through
the pasture she saw deer jump up,
and going to the place where it had first
appeared, she found spotted Young
fawn and gave it chase The fawn was
too speedy for her and she called the
family dog to her assistance. The dog
succeeded in catching the fawn and
held it down until the girl came up.
She took it in her arms and started for
home and the fight the fawn put up
trying to get away would make a fine
moving picture. The little girl showed
just as much grit as the fawn, although
her dress was torn to shreds she held on
to her little pet until her father came
to her assistance. Now the two are
great friends and the little fawn looks
to his new mother for good care and q
good home. Journal Herald

II You were asked to choose some
particular Chautauqua attraction that
would fill a popular want-furnish
something for the programs that no
other number offered-be a rest and
change from the many orations and

would you choose?
If you knew "The Floyds" you
would choose the The Floyds. Why?
Because of two things, principally.
In the first place they are Magiciars,
and everybody likes magic. And IN
the second place they are the best OF
magieians, and everybody wants to
see the best.

DR.. A. A. WILLETTS
APOSTLE OF SUNSHINE
The Patriarch OF The Americ an
Platform VIII Speak At The
Chautauqua On Friday.

The patriarch OF the American
platform, Sunshine Willcts," is
toming to our Chautauqua this sea-
son, to shed the benign rays that so
naturally radiate from his nature
into the lives of the people OF our
community. Those who have any
knowledge of the personality and
work of THE Apostle OF Sunshine"
viii welcome this announcement with
enthusiasm,
The oldest lecturer on the Chau-
tauqua platform. Willets, remains
one of the most popular. There are
sufficient reasons for this. His mod
est grace, his noble countenance and
his gentle smile radiate light where
over he goes. There is no way of
estimating how much better the
world Is for Willets having lived in
II. He is known and loved by tens
of thousands among whom he has
lived aud labored these long. long
years.
Willetts would not know a muck
rake II he should meet one In the
road. Neither does he carry white
wash brush. While listening to him

cares harass us early and late" Isn't

lieved OF the stress of life" for one
long hour? Isn't a steady stream of
pure sunlight, flowing through the

minutes bound to destroy bacilli by

Willets, growing old yet remaining
young; full of light AZ he is full OF
years, ia the greatest living exponent
of the philosophy Of good cheer; the
ablest antagonist OF the red eyed ro-
volutionist and the disgruntled disor|
ganizer.

NOTHING To QUARREL OVER.
So Says c. N. Marvin of The Shena-
dOnh Sentinel Post.

What then is there to quarrel about
longer2 II looks like the republicans
of Iowa have concluded TO he good and
quit lighting. If the progressives fur
nish the platform, rs they will, it will
be up TO them to show the republicans
OF the nation that they can win on these
principles. On the other hand, the
standpatters, having the head
of the ticket, will he under obligations
to vote and work for the ticket. 1t
looks like a happy arrangement to bring
all the republicans into line Let us all
look at il that way and line up for the
good old party, and quit finding fault
Roosevelt is setting us all mighty
good example He receives Senator
Lodge one day and Senator LaFollette
the next and both of them come away
thinking Roosevelt is the greatest man
under the sun. II is plain to be seen
that Roosevelt is not going to turn the
cold shoulder on either the regulars or
the insurgents but he is pulling them
together with all the power of his
mighty influence.
The main thing is for republicans to
get together. If you are for the repuh.
lican party get inside If you are not
for it go TO the democrats and be done
with it. There is no middle ground.
Congress has adjourned. The record
has been made on which we are to stand
or fall In the main the record has
been good.
