Fire Fiend In Douglas WASH
inqton

About II o'clock Saturday
night citizens Of Douglas were
aroused from their slumbers by
the alarm of fire. The meat
market of G. M. Eneix was dis
covered to be burning and be-
fore any fire-fghting equip
ment could be assembled the
flames had gained such head
way that it was impossible to
save the building and but a
small portion of the contents.
It was seen from the start that
the postofice and Mr.. Eneix's
residence were doomed, and all
efforts were turned to saving
the contents Of the two build
ings. The fixtures. books, pa
pers, mail and most of the
stamps and other valuables in
the post office were carried out
and saved. A small quantity
of stamps and two pieces of
registered mail were destroyed.
Most of the household goods
in the Eneix residence were
saved.
Mr.. Eneix was away from
home, having gone over the
mountain early Saturday morn
ing to buy cattle. His loss is
particularly unfortunate COM
ing at the beginning Of harvest
when his business is heaviest,
The losses are about as fol.
lows: C. M. Eneix, meat market,
fixtures and residence, $4,000;
insurance $500. Miss Bena

Miss Wilmer was followed
by the Anitas who gave a con-
cert second to none who have
appeared on the chautauqua
program in this city. Most
concert companies seem to he
afraid they will do a little more
than their contract calls for
but the Anitas seemed to feel
the people appreciated them
and were glad to give them all
the music they craved. For
forty-five minutes they gave a
diversified program which took
the large audience by storm.
They varied their program
with solos, both vocal and in
strumental, duets and quar-
tets, and then the entire COM
pany would give a good old
rollicking band piece. A chau-
tauqua audience seems to want
music to which they can keep
time with their feet and they
certainly gotit from the Anitas.
With the exception of Maupin's
band they gave the most uni
versal satisfaction of any mu-
steal organization appearing

Judge Sadler stated that Grim

than the population. He attri.
butes this to lack of home train
ling, intoxicants and environ,
ment, and exploits Of crime in
every detail in the newspapers,
We are not importing criminals
but make them after they gel
over here. The largest number
|of criminals are young men and
young women. He cited sever.
al instances where women had
robbed and shoplifted, when
they had every thing heart
could wish for in their homes
and there is absolutely no ex :
cuse or explanation for their
acts. He advocated the idea
that if parents would only have
a place at home for the boy to
play he would not be so apt to
get into trouble. There are II
public play grounds in Chicago
where the youngsters have
everything in the line of play
things. Judge Sadler is a very
earnest speaker and his lecture
was splendid and if all would
profit by his talk there would
be less crime in the world.
Saturday Evening
Contrary to the usual custom
Miss Wilmer was put on the
program the first thing Satur-
day evening in place of the
musical prelude, and it was a
wise selection or Miss Wilmer
would have been kept on the
platform half of the night. We
heard several say cts only a
woman on Saturday night; we
won't co." but by so figuring
all who remained away missed
one of the best programs given
during the entire course. Miss
Wilmer was immense, in fact
the best reader who has ever
appeared in this city. All of
her readings were greeted with
tumultuous applause and it was
with difficulty that she was
permitted to leave the plat.
form. Her portrayal of the
children speaking at the open
session on Friday afternoon in
the school was so realistic that
a person could shut their eyes
and see the school room ard
the children as plainly as
though they were really there.
All of her studies were Just as
real. She has none of the
tricks of the actress but does
her work and gains her APP
plause by her own personality
and determination to actually
live the character she is por-
traying. At any future date
she appears on a platform in
this city she can be assured of
a record breaking crowd.

: Sunday Afternoon
The usual Sunday crowd wa s
in attendance Yesterday after
noon to hear til" hni'as and
, Miss Wilmer and each and
: everyone came away saying it
was one Of the greatest sermons
} and entertainments they had
ever heard. The Anitas gave
? a half hour prelude of sacred
|; music and then Miss Wilmer
gave "The Sign of the Cross"
; This is an exceptionally strong
piece and Miss Wilmer gave it
with all the emotion and feel
ling in her being. The tent was
packed and the day an extreme
| ly hot one but not half a dozen
people left the tent during her
recital and those leaving did so
because they could not get with
in hearing distance. 1t takes
something extraordinary to
hold such a large audience on a
hot day but Miss Wilmer did it
and with ease. She is an ex-
ceptional woman with an excep-
tional gift.
Sunday Night
The Anitas gave the prelude
lin their usual satisfactory
manner and then Mr.. Bryan in
troduced Mohamid Ali who
gave his lecture ''The Wit and
Wisdom of the Far East"
Most Of the lectures on foreign
countries are dry and tiresome
but Mr.. Ali gave a very anus
ling and instructive talk on
India. He drew comparisons
where ever possible between
India and this country and
when a person comes to figure
it out, most countries are about
alike with the customs differing
but very little at the founda-
tion. Mr.. Ali is an educated
man and he presents his story
in a very forceful way which
holds an audience from begin
ming to end.
The Chautauqua Closes
/
The Seventh Annual Session
of the Missouri Valley Chautau-
qua closed last evening with
the record of being one of the
best chautauquas ever held
here. There were no big days
advertised to draw the crowds
but each day the large tent was
Ijust comfortably filled. and the
program was equally good one
day with another, not a dull
day nor a poor program. OF
course some of the talent was
better than other but taken as
a whole the management is to
be congratulated on securing
such a we'll balanced program.
Everything went off without a
hitch without a single cancella-
ton, which is a record for this
chautauqua. Everyone seemed
to take it upon himself to see
that everything was all right
and it came near being a real
peoples chautauqua than any
ever held here. The atten-
dance was below that of last
year but many things must be
taken inb consideration when
seeking the cause. The last
few days it has been said on
the street that there was to be
no chautauqua next year but
such a clamor went up that it
was found impossible to with
stand it and from the number
of season tickets pledged for
next year the meeting is as
sured. The f armers are to be
commended fl " their work yes

We have reached the stage

of moral energy and directing
ability need to be tapped.
Among the masses of the

Never Failing Iowa

Our state lies half way be-
tween the oceans and is bount-
ed by the two greatest rivers #
North America. 1t is ira
y.rsed by numerous streams
and has All average rainfall
that insures has done so
thus far-the absence of fam
inc making drought. The black
soil of Iowa averages six feet
over the entire state. Ninety
five per cent of her land area
is tillable soil. The rest is lake,
river and forest, each of which
is essential to prosperity.
The staple cereal crops grow
almost as we'll as though indi-
genous to her soil. Since the
white man came to live within
her borders, she has not once
failed to have enough and to
spare.
She has mineral wealth
lead and coal-that form one of
her chief sources of prosperity,
and deposits of clay that could
cover the world with a glaze of
pottery and yet not diminish
the marvellous area Of produc-
tive soil.
What's the matter with Iowa?
She has never yet claimed to
boom or boast; yet she stands
at the head of all of the agri-
cultural regions of the world.
The fierce siroccos that devas-
tate other states never waste
her crops; the floods that ruin
the productions of other lands
are safely carried away through
her porous soil.
Without Boosting, let it be
known that Iowa has become
again the mecca for those of
less favored states. And in
her plenty, she will not turn
one away. For she is the gran
airy of the west; and will assist
to reinstate the western settler,
as she has done so often before.
Their prosperity is, Indirectly,
ours. And, aside from this
selfish reason, let it not be said
that Iowa, garden Iowa, never
failing Iowa, ever turned a
hungry stranger from her door.
