CAUSE COMMENT.
Artistic Work of Father Polinus
in Maria Stein Chapel Is
Highly Praised.
[wapakoneta Daily News. !

Mr.. and Mrs. @. A. Stueve and chill
dren of this city, and Mr.. and Mrs.
r.. G. Stueve and daughter of Cincin-
natl spent Sunday with relatives and
friends in Minister. They also drove
over to Carthagena and Maria Stein,
where they visited Rev. Father Russ,
who is an uncle of Mrs. r. c. Stueve.
At the latter place they visited the
new chapel, which has just recently
been completed and the decorations
of which were done by Father Polinus,
an instructor in the Carthagena Sem
mary. Mr.. Stueve says the interior
decorations of this chapel are among
the finest he has ever seen, and that
Father Polinus is an artist of merit. 1t
has taken him two years to complete
the work of decoration. At Maria
Stein they also looked in on the Con-
vent, an institution with which they
all have an intimate knowledge.
The trip from Minister and return
was made in a carriage, and despite
the dust and heat was an enjoyable
one. They say that through the coun-
try from Minister to the Mercer County
points which they visited corn is look
ing fine and is almost six feet high, al
though it is right now needing rain
badly to insure the making of good
crop. Oats in that section of the coun-
try is an exceptionally heavy crop,
about one-half of which remains to be
cut.
Including Minister and the territory
through which they passed, about one
dozen settlements containing churches
and schools are noted, thus giving the
country almost the appearance of a
continuous village, such as are to be
seen In Germany and Switzerland.

Attendance at Celina Chautau
qua This Year Breaks All
Former Records.
Entertainments and Lectures
Have Been Pleasing and
of High Glass.
Many of Best Features on Pro
gram Are Yet TO Come and
Crowds Growing.

The annual assembly of the Celina
Chautauqua opened last Saturday un-
der very favorable conditions, with
larger crowds than ever before attended
the opening days. The four concerts
given by the Appolo Concert party on
Saturday and Sunday we're well re-
ceived, and the best talent of the kind
seen on the local Chautauqua program.
The lecture of DR.. John Merritte Driver
on Saturday evening was well received
and Father John Daily, who returned
here for the second engagement on
Sunday afternoon, pleased his big
audience even better that at his former
appearance. The Crescent Concert
party, which was on the program this
week put on good entertainments and
Rev. Herbert Bigelow, the noted
preacher, social and political econo-
mist OF Cincinnati, has been pleasing
his audiences this week to an unusual
degree. He has a message for the
common herd and few ideas that
should find lodgment in their cram
iums. We need more Bigelows, and
need them bad.
The Crescent Company will conclude
their entertainment with prelude this
afternoon and evening, and Mr.. Bige-
lows last appearances will be this
afternoon and evening.
Saturday afternoon the Lotus Glee
Club, of New York, reputed to be one
of the best attractions of the kind on
the American stage to-day, will open
here for two days stay, giving four
concerts. Saturday evening Ex-secre-
tary of the Navy John ID. Long will
lecture. Col. Geo. w. Balm, of Kenlucky,
is the attraction for Sunday afternoon.
On Monday afternoon 1t is expected
that the platform attraction will give
way to base ball game between the
Celina Kids and the fast Wapakoneta
Reds. Monday evening and for the
remainder of the week the Jones Ju-
venile Concert Co. will furnish the
musical part of the program while
Byron w. King, of Pittsburg, who
opens a summer school of oratory, will
do most of the leeturing during the
week.
The exceptions to this will be on
Tuesday afternoon, when Maud Ball
ington Booth will occupy the platform;
on Wednesday evening when Alton
Packard, the cartoonist, will entertain
and on Thursday evening when Hon.
James L. Ewell, of Virginia, will
lecture.
The program will close on Saturday
and Sunday of next week with the Fisk
Jubilee Singers furnishing the musical
end of the entertainment and lecture
on Sunday afternoon by Judge Ben
Lindsey, of Denver, Colo, one of the
most noted political reformers of the
day,

DEPARTURE
On Part of Celina Business Men
Toward Their Employees and
the Banner Fair.
Famous Air Ship to Make Two
Flights Daily-Princely
Attractions.

Here are some things about the Ban
neT Fair to be remem bered:
That the Banner Fair is one of the
largest fairs in the State of Ohio.
That our races will equal any fair in
Ohio, the State fair not excepted.
The gentleman's road race on Tues
day and the ladies' race on Friday,
will be worth all your time and eX-
pense alone to see.
That the famous Stroeble air ship
will make two flights each. on Tues
day the flight will be made over the
Court house and town. Don't miss this.
That Bretz and Meyers corn show in
the large tent will be worth seeing.
10000 for corn. 1909 production.
That the exhibit from the Wooster
Experiment Station is twice as large
as ever before.
That Wednesday Is Soldiers Day.
Every soldier and soldiers widow will
be admitted free.
That Luggensberger' great animal
show will be on the grounds.
That the demand for stalls compelled
us to build new barn that is now done.
About That Family Ticket
That all can be seen at the Banner
Fair for 25 cents. or one family ticket
for 81. 90 if proprrly used will admit u
times heads of families. But If you
leave the grounds during the day, don't
forget to hand your ticket to the gate
man and have it punched or it will not
re-admit you. If you forget this it Will
be your fault and not the Board. There
will be no exceptions or favors granted
to this rule. So don't ask for them.
You can make your entries at the
Office of Raudabaugh Il Vinlng Satur-
day, Aug. l3, or Monday at the grounds.
The business men of many other
towns close their places of business
from II to 6, Wednesday and Thurs
day, thus giving themselves and clerks
a chance to meet old friends and enjoy
the sights and races, why not do the
same IN Celina. This is your Fair.
The Board is helpless without you and
can be done that will advertise
Greater Celina like the great Banner
Fair. 1t brings people from all parts
of the State. Let us lay our work aside
and welcome them.

Valuable Cargo
Rudely Spilled

An east bound through freight on the
Lake Erie & Western was held up here
for several hours last Saturday night
when hot box burned of the axle of
one Of the cars. The car went down
just as the train pulled across the Gin
cinnati Northern tracks, tearing up
part Of the Lake Erie track and so badly
damaging the car that IL was pulled to
one side of the right Of way and burned
up after the trucks had been removed.
The car was loaded with automobile
supplies valued at over $4,000. Most
of the freight was unchanged and was
packed In other cars and sent on east
Sunday morning. The wreck delayed
the Cedar Point excursion over an hour.

OLD DISCARDED
SIDE TRACK
Known As Delphos Branch of G.
II. & ID. Become Sudden
ly Animated.

The local branch Of the O., II. & d.
between Dayton and Mandale is doing
a rushing freight business at present,
owing to the fact that almost all the
freight business of the Main line be-
tween Toledo and Dayton is being
routed over this branch by way Of
Mandate. The main line Of the road is
being double tracked between Dayton
and Lima, and to save the bother with
the freight trains they are being routed
this way. owing 10 the poor condi-
tion of the tracks on this branch the
big locomotives have TO proceed with
much caution, and there is likelihood
that a number of wrecks will occur
before the use Of this branch is discon-
tinnnd.

DOESN'T Think
THEM VERY WISE
Lst. Marys Graphic, July 2s.l

Farmers in Mercer county who pay
from S75 to $50 for ranges to non resident
sellers must not know that ranges of the
same kind or better can be boughta good
deal cheaper from home dealers, but we
are not prepared to say who's fault it is.
The home dealer may be little back
ward in letting the farmer know that
he's got them, and this should be lesson
on the policy of advertising. Better
spend little money on advertising and
thereby also contribute a well-merited
pittance to your home printer, than to
run the chances of having the cream of
the trade blown off by out side sellers.

CoLdwater Bonds
to Be SoLdMonday

Fourteen thousand dollars worth of
FIVE per cent highway improvement
bonds will be sold by the village of
Coldwater Monday, sealed bids being
received up until II o'clock noon on
that day. This lot of bonds were Of
fered several weeks ago at four per
cent, but failed to sell. The council
then ordered them re-advertised at FIVE.
Owing to the condition on which the
bonds are sold the premiums will not
likely be large even at FIVE per cent.
The bonds are of five hundred dollar
denomination and due one each year
from 1918 until 1927, and eighteen due
in 1928.

OF August it may first be said, its
name is from Augustus, whom men
have likened unto Ted, perhaps with
out injustice. He made the world go
round about as many times a minute,
aud the news was always dull without
the great Augustus in it.
He had his Ananias Club for liars and
for takers, and he loved to sail his little
tub among the Roman breakers. He
counted peace a sort of plague, and
never did pursue it, but let it rally at
The Hague, and you couldn't beat him
to it.
He preached about the same old
things that Teddy has been preaching,
and most of Rome's awakenings re-
suited from his teaching. He battled
hotlY for the right, and valiantly i'm
bued it, and the stork could not at
tempt to light but what he up and
shooed it.
There was, however, one affair to
tell which is to tattle, and that was
where this Roman bear was coming in
from battle. He had, of course, put
everything opposing him to slumber,
and Rome awaited him to sing some
laudatory number.
But here the parallel desists. Au-
gustus said them, No, sirl and when
he entered with his lists it might have
