the canvass His, scathing denun-
citation of the injustice of the world
at the scene of the woman taken in
sin-the injustice which stones an
erring woman but condones more
sinful man--is like livid stream of
lava, consuming and irresistible in
its fiery force.

he holds throughout his lecture with

but through the verile life of his

Saturday, August Is
Kyrl Band Day.
The essential thing to fine band
is good leader, for the best of
skilled players cannot make good mu-
sic unless adequately directed. Then
comes skilled corps of players, and
finally, good soloists. In the band
which Kyrl brings here on Saturday,
August 10, at the Leon Chautauqua,
all these conditions are filled to the
letter. AS leader in other bands,
Kyrl already has a reputation and a
recognized status, second to none.
AS players his men are known every
where as the best; they have been as
ISOLATED with him in other bands,
have been under his skilled baton
often in the past, and he and they I'M
derstand each other perfectly. And
when it comes to soloists, Kyrl him
self being the worlds greatest cornet-
ist the world ever knew, asks no odds
of any one, while his other soloists
are fully the equal of the best in
their several roles. Kyrl himself OF
course quite overshadows any sole
carried by an organization; not since

$3.50 p. m.-Concert, Kirksmith
Orchestra.
Six winsome girls of delightful
platform appearance, and everyone AN
artist, they present a striking picture.
No matter what length their pro-
grams, we have never known an audi
ence to get enough.
Their versatility makes variety
easy for them. From the spirited
and often heroic splendor of an en-
semble production you are Whlsked
off on the wings of a soft sweet vocal
duet; or charmed by the ineXpressible
beauty of a trio of violin, viola and
flute.
Agnes, Maude, Marguerite, Lillian,
Pauline, Gertrude-piano, violin, cor
net, flute, saXaphone, viola-Six in
struments and four vocalists, many
beautiful combinations are made with
ease.
And they make the most of the
possibilities. They fill the Chautauqua
demand to the very brim. Their music
represents the highest concert
achievements.
After full season on our Trans
Missouri Chautauquas, the persistent
demands of our patrons caused us to
repeat the Kirksmiths throughout
that territory last year.
They made better than ever; be-
cause the people knew what to expect

Miss Bargelt you have been delighted.
Her humor is spontaneous. Her wit
ready and unexpected. Her pathetic
numbers are most touching, for she
has a most fearful voice when she
sees fit to use it. AS reader, she is
above the average good reader. AS

NEW NICARAGUA CABINET.
War Minister Is Said to Be Bitterly
nti.American.

Washington, July PA new cabl'
net has been formed in Nicaragua
according to cable advices received
here Thursday from Consul Olivares
at Mangua. It's personnel consists, with
single exception, of adherents of Le-
laya and men who were officials of the
former Presidents government. Con-
sui Olivares strongly intimates that
the new ministry is likely to be I'M
friendly to the United States.
The personnel of the new ministry
which was formed following the resig-
nation of Minister General Chico
Baca, is as follows:
Minister Of government-Maxlm
ano Morales, sub-secretary of govern
ment under Zelaya.
Minister of foreign affairs and pub
lie Observation-Disclosures Padilli, for
merly a minister of finance, but not
under Zelaya.
Minister of finance and public cred
it-Francisco Medina, collector of Gus
toms at Corinto under Zelaya. and re-
Gently his personal representative IN
Paris.
Minister of Works-Leon Areagon
once sub-secretary of public instruction
and later mayor of Managua under
Zelaya.
Sub-secretary of War-Benjamin
Zeledon, charge d'affaires of Nicaragua
in Guatemala under Zelaya and more
recently secretary to Julian Jrias. COM
missioner of the MadriZ government
with plenary powers over the Western
half of Nicaragua. now in command OF
the gunboat Venus.
Zeledon's appointment seems to be
the most significant in a cabinent OF
Lelaya supporters. Mr.. Olivares adj
vised thai the new war minister is bit
terly anti-American and is the author
of a number of incendiary articles
against the government of the United
States and American interests in gen
eral, which have been published re-
Gently in the censored press at Mana
qua.
DR.. Louis f. Corea, representative OF
Madriz here, has arrived at Managua
the consul reports, but any confirmation
of the story that he left a peace PROPOSE
ton in behalf of Madriz at Washington
is as unconfrmed from the report as il
is from investigation here.
Modesto Barrios and Sebastian Salinas
the commissioners who have been sent tC
this government bearing what is reputed
to be a proposition for peace in Nicara
qua. were due in Washington today, ac-
cording to an unofficial schedule. They
had not been received, nor had they ap-
peared when Acting Secretary of State
Wilson left the department. No officia
knowledge of their coming is in posses
sion of the department and no arrange
ments have been made to receive them.
1t can be said, however. that should
they come to Washington they can have
an audience such as the state department
has granted representatives of both Els
trada and Madriz for several months.
