A SOUTHERN METROPOLIS

Only Rome, among all the Latin ci--
ties of the world, outranks Buenos
Aires in size. In progressiveness one
might look over every urban communi-
ty of the earth and find no city to sur
pass it. 1t is the boast of the Por-
teno, or native of Buenos Aires, that
there is nothing that can be obtained
in any other city in the world that
cannot also be had in the city of Bue.
nos Aires.
Years ago a youth in Buenos Aires
decided to found a small paper. He
had but little money, but he printed
his first edition on job press. AS
the year went by Jose Paz prospered.
His paper, La Prensa, founded in the
interest of the people, grew from a
job press sheet into vast journalist
ic enterprise that made a multi-mil-
nouncement, he stated that the peo-
lple of Argentine had made millions
for him and that he intended to re-
turn the compliment by building a
house for the service of the rich and
poor alike, that should surpass any
thing of it's kind in the world. The
magnificent building of La Prensa was
the result. It is an institution of
which any nation might we'll be proud.
In one part of the building there is a
complete law library presided over
by trained attorneys, to whom any
one who has no money to pay may ap-
ply for free legal advice. There is a
of all labor organizations and socie-
ties of the poor and middle classes.
A grand concert hall is also provided,
where musicales and all kinds of bene-
fits may be given.
| One may gather that Buenos Aires
is progressive when it is stated that
nearly $5O,OO0,OOO has been spent on
harbor improvements alone. Its av-
enues and parks are among the most
beautiful, expensive and well kept in
the world. AS a social center no 9th.
er South American city equals the
Argentine capital. The rich ranch
owners of the Plains, whose fortunes
run into the millions, came here and
build magnificent residences that are
comparable to the best that are to be
found in New York, Washington, Lon.
don and Paris.

Program Sunday
Senator Thrown !, Lectures
Saturday Afternoon

Those who heard the National Chau-
tauqua band at Hiawatha lake assemb-
ly Wednesday afternoon and again
today were delighted with the pro-
gram, and all are anticipating anoth-
er great treat when the band appears
this evening for its closing entertain
meRt. The band is not one of the
large kind so far as numbers go, but
1T is made up of the best professionals
in the country and it's programs are
very fine. The general sentiment
among the assembly people is that
the band is superior to the orchestra
that appeared Tuesday-"and that is
going some"
The rain early Wednesday evening
caused some persons to remain away
from the park and really caused these
to miss most delightful evening.
Beilharz gave "The Hoosier School
MASTER" and his entertainment was
the equal of the best that has ever
been given at the assembly.

Mr.. T. +. Cole, farmer residing
about one mile and half west of the
city on the Green Valley road, was
the victim of very peculiar and un-
fortunate accident while at work on
his farm on Wednesday afternoon. At
about three o'clock, Mr.. Cole stopped
work for few minutes and went TO
pump near the house where he took
drink of water and was feeling very
WELL About one-half hour later. he
was driving hay rake and was sitting
on the elevated seat when for some
reason, he fell heavily to the ground,
apparently without any cause. Strik-
ing on his left eye, he was rendered
unconscious for several minutes, dur
ing which time, he was removed to
the house. DR.. s. e. Deeley was call
ed in attendance and the injured man
was sufficiently revived to enable him
to carry o1ea conversation. He stated
that while riding on the hay rake he
was suddenly attacked by dizziness
and was unable to keep his balance
and that he did not know exactly
what was happening. His right eye
was severely bruised as a result of the
accident on Wednesday evening His

Assembly Notes

The register is growing nicely each
day.
There were number of new arriv-
ais Wednesday, among them Mrs. H.
Thane Miller of Cincinnati, Mrs.
(Judge) McCann of Dayton, Mrs. Fred
P. Brewer of Dayton, Mrs. M. T.
Street and daughter of Granville, and
Mrs. Levi T. Scoffield of Cleveland.
DR.. Lincoln Hulley will arrive at the
park Saturday and will make his first
public appearance for the season on
Sunday afternoon, when he will give
his sermon-lecture on "The Teachings
of Jesus" 1t is anticipated that the
church people of Mt. Vernon and Knox
county will visit the assembly by hun
dreds to hear DR.. Hulley, as he is
widely known and as it is certain that
his message will be one of great value.
While it was not so intended, when
the program was prepared, it is GER
tain that Sunday nights recital on
"The Book of Job" by Prof. John Dux-
bury will be one of the best drawing
features of the entire assembly. Dux-
bury is president of the School of Elo-
cution at Manchester, England, and
director of studies in elocution at Vic
torian university in the same city. AL
though dramatic readings are we'll
known and very popular, the imper-
sonation of Biblical stories is new
departure and fraught with difficult
ties that would appall the average
reader In his representations Mr.. Dux-
bury invests with distinctive person
ality the Lord, the Adversary, Job
Jobs wife, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bill
dad the Shuhite, Tophar the Mann
thite and Elihu. Most human OF all
these are these friends of Job, coming
with their very human advice and
counsel and willing to tell him of his
misdeeds and to assure him that he
must have been very wicked to bring
down such affections upon himself.
1t is rather odd that an assembly
should find itself "up against it" on ac
count of politics, but Supt. Rose is
informed that Senator Dolliyer cannot
be here for an afternoon address. The
Iowa state Republican convention oc
ours Aug. 3, and the senator cannot
be here before the evening oi
August 4
Senator Norris Brown will be here
Saturday afternoon, July 80, at two
o'clock.

RABBITS ARE PLENTIFUL

Farmers who have cut their wheat
and those who are now cutting their
hay declare that they never saw as
many rabbits as there are this year.
They say there have been no heavy
rains to drown the little ones in April
and May and that as result the coun-
try is being almost overrun with them.
So many farmers do not allow hunt
ing on their places and this leaves
plenty of game to stock the surround
ing farms. Quail, too, are said to be
plentiful this summer, and everything
points to great hunting season next
fall.
