week of next October.

Observation-Disclosures

A little after $50 Monday morn
ing, August 1st, the first train Of
Chautauquans drew up at thu
Mountainair depot.
1t was a beautiful morning, thu
sun apparently smiling the more
brightly upon the landscape abou
which the day before had received
an abundant shower of refresh
ing and blessing from Gods
Aoodgates.
The little band received a hearty
welcoming smile and handshake
from Secretary Mccoy, who es-
corted them to the Chautauqua
carriages, and they were quickly
driven to the Chautauqua grounds
where they were Immediately
made TO feel at home and among
people of kindred spirit and in
terest.
The Chautauqua grounds are
located a short distance from the
town proper in a beautiful grove
Of cedar and pine.
The spacious airy tabernacle is
modelled after the larger Chau-
tauqua assembly buildings and is
a structure this Chautauqua may
we'll be proud of, and has a seat
ling capacity of over seven hum
dred persons.
A dining hall serves meals, like
mother used to cook, for the
amazingly small sum Of Is cents.
Other conveniences such as camp
furnishing, delivery of mails and
baggage, a ladies free dressing
room and refreshment parlor, add
to the comfort and pleasure of
the patrons.
On the heevening of August / the
delightful program was opened
by the Cartwright Concert Com
pany; Prof. Cartwright's vocal
numbers were of a high quality,
suited to his deep rich voice, and
represented the best classic and
patriotic music, Mrs. Cartwright
is an impersonator of rare ability
and played at will upon the emo
tions and feelings of her audience.
Miss Dorothy Cartwright, the
child impersonator, and Miss
Blanche Porterfeld as accompan-
ist did themselves much honor.
At a little past ten the audience
disbanded, the campers retiring
to their white covered homes, all
satisfied that the opening num-
ber of the assembly was adecided
success and a treat long to be
remembered.
The morning of the second day
arrived clear and beautiful, and
soon the camp, which now num-
bers about thirty tents, was bust
ling with activity and life. Every
where the Chautauqua spirit of
sociability and Christian fellow
ship was manifested.
At 2 p. M, in grand rally,
the heads of the different depart
ments briefly outlined their work
for the rest of the assembly, nine
departments being represented in
the interest of education, religion,
science and physical culture.
At 7:90 ., M, after several de-
lightful selections from the Cart
wrights, Denton c. Crowl, from
Des Moines, Iowa, reproduced the
lecture of Sam P. Jones, Medley
of Philosophy" or Facts or Fun"
Many present had heard Sam
Jones deliver this lecture and
pronounced the impersonation al
most perfect.

MENAGER RTE A GREAT SCHOOL
Circus Holiday A Very Important Factor In
Educational Way.

An hour can always be spent in a
circus menagerie with great pleasure
and educational advantage to stu
dents Of natural history. There is
no limit to the lessons to be learned
there in comparative zoology. The
trouble is that the people are afraid
to ask questions of employees of the
common run of shows for fear of dis
courteous replies. A great deal of
interesting and odd information is
thus lost.
There need be no fear Of such
treatment when the Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers circus comes to Ope-
lousas on Friday, Nov. 18th.
The management Of this show has
introduced a new feature in their
geological tent. All visitors are re-
ceived and conducted through the
various aisles and avenues among the
pens and cages by uniformed lee
%turers, especially engaged to az 7wer
all questions and impart furtl an
formation, while experienced in
ers demonstrate many strange facts.
This is the only circus in the coun-
try that gives any special attention
or thought to patrons beyond permit
ting them to wander around for a
short while among the animals and
then try to squeeze into the main
tent # they can. They are given no
assistance whatever. With this show
it is the aim to amuse people, to in
struct them, and by all means to
make them comfortable. If one uses
his eyes and is not afraid to ask ques-
lions, he will pick up any amount of
odd information.
For example, he will learn that a
giraffe a utter no sound and can
go longer than d camel without food
and water; that an elephant does not
smell with its trunk and can feel the
bite of a fly; that camels are bred in
Siberia; that a hippopotamus exudes
blood from it's pores when angry;
that the male ostrich sits on the
eggs; that the female kangaroo car
RES its young in a pouch; that a
r%hinoceros eats less than a dog; that
the best of Oriental lace is made
from the hair Of the yak; that the
South African fax vaark, or wart
hog. has warts on its nose only dur
ing times of plenty and that when
hard times come the warts disappear;
that there are two distinct feathers
in every quill in the emu's back.
The menagerie of the Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers circus is a
comrlete geological chain. Nothing
that has any attractive value is miss
ing. In fact, there are many speci-
mems on exhibition that never before
have been seen in America. There
are 780 animals in all. Among them,
besides those slready mentioned, are
zebus, nylghaus, gnus, ant
eaters, tapirs, pecaries, llamas, Chin
panzees, mandrils, sacred oxen, water
buffalo, Philippine cattle, dromeda-
ries, a vast collection of odd types of
fish and fowl and every variety Of
the cat, bear, deer and monkey tribes.
An interesting and amusing fea-
lure of the menagerie is the nursery
where many animal babies are dis
in company with their fero-
parents.

GAS FOR FARMERS
IN HENRY COUNTY
Thirty-fve Will Connect With Main
= Being Laid from Kewanee TO
Supply GaIva.

A new field for the extension of
gas service is suggested by the &C
ton of the Kewanee Gas, Light &
Power company, which is laying a
main to supply Galva, IL miles
away. 1t is expected that the line
will be down before freezing wealth
er. Thirty-five farmers along the
way have signified a desire to have
gas in their homes for lighting and
cooking purposes. The main being
laid is four inches in diameter part
Of the way and three inches the bal
ance. Compressors will be used TO
give a pressure of 80 pounds to the
square inch at Kewanee, and this
will drive the gas through to Galva.
Reuction valves will be used to
automatically provide uniform pres
sure. The main is being laid at an
average depth of three feet, eight
inches. Most of the way it is laid
alongside the Burlington tracks.
