Distinguishes Speakers and Fine Mu.
sic Will Be Heard at the Camp
Grounds for Ten Days,
July 1880.

The fourth session CT the Platte.
vile ChautauQua will be held on the
Camp Grounds July 20-30. 1t is a
great place for an outing Good din
ing hall, good tents, good concessions
make 1t an ideal place No stronger
program has ever appeared in Wis
consin than is offered this year at
Plattevile
The first three days the kellogg
Haines Singing Party will render the
finest of music. Much of it will be
scenes from opera in costume. It is
without doubt one of the finest mixed
Quartettes travelling. They likewise
have male trio and instrumental
quartette. George H. McNutt, The
Dinner Pail Man" will give the open
ing lecture He knows what he is
talking about. For seven years, though
a college graduate, a professional man
OF high standing, and an orator of
ability, he lived and worked with the
masses to know how they lived and
toiled.
DR.. Monroe MarkIey is declared by
Judge Lindsey to be one of the most
powerful men on the platform. We
are fortunate in having him for two
lectures The Ohio Wesleyan Male
Quartette is one Of the best in the
country and will sing for US two days
Who has not heard Of Victor Murdoch,
the congressman from Kansas? He
speaks July %, Sunday afternoon.
Thomas Brooks Fletcher is declared
to be one of the greatest orators of
the day. You may hear him Sunday
night
Laurant the magician will give a
night Of magic. Many of his myster-
les are entirely new this season. A
marvellous illusion entitled THE Sol
der, The Priest and The Devil will
be offered. 1t sounds mysterious, and
it IS
The New Slayton Jubilee Singers
will be with us for three days This
is the strongest colored company be-
fore the public today They combine
the old-time jubilees and up-to-date
melodies in their program.
Yes Sir, Billy Sunday will be
there with the goods just off the bat
on the afternoon of July %. 1t is
his first appearance in Southwestern
Wisconsin and you will need to come
early to avoid the rush.
Earnest Wray Oneal will give us
two of his great lectures. Edward
Amherst OFT will keep up his reputa-
ton as a great platform speaker. The
Beard Quartette of Chicago will fur
nish the music for the last three days.
They are among the best or we would
not Fave them.
If congress adjourns in time Senator
Robert M. LaFollette will lecture on
Friday, July %. There will be some
thing doing that day. If he is un-
able to be present because of his du-
ties at Washington, we will have
good program anyhow. Smith Damron
will give two Of his pottery lectures.
They are unique AID they are great.
He will leave a more lasting impress
sion on the people by far than on the
clay
Opie Read, one of the most widely
read authors in the country, will give
a lecture 1t will be a great treat to
hear him. DR.. James S. Montgomery
gives the closing lecture. Those who
heard him last year will be glad of
the opportunity to hear him again.
An ideal way to enjoy the Chautau-
qua is to camp on the grounds during
the session. For further information
