CHAUTAUQUA
A Power For Good in the Community

The success which attended
the Big Stone Lake chautauqua
this year is very gratifying to all
friends OF the enterprise, and
gives renewed assurance that
the Chautauqua will continue to
grow from year to year. The
carrying on of a chautauqua as.
sembly in any locality has an up
lifting and helpful influence on
the community, as it brings TO
the people of that community
some of the best talent in lectur-
es, literary and musical enter
tainment, that the country af-
fords, and which it would be I'M
possible to secure without the
combinations of the chautauQua
movement. It will be a profta-
bic thing IN more ways than one
for the people Of the counties
bordering on the lake to give
this enterprise their heartiest
support. 1t is nOta money-mak-
ing enterprise, and in the years
past it has been largely kept go
ing by the public spirit and gen
erous contributions Of time and
money Of a few public-spirlted
individuals, and we are glad to
state that there is now a growing
interest in thechautauqua among
a large number Of people of the
community, and the prospects
are that it will receive that imam
cial and moral support that will
insure its continuance from year
to year, and make it q great edu-
catioual and moral power in the
community.

The Ball Games.

While the attendance Monday
on account of the weather was
not as good as it should have
been, an interesting and we'll
played game was pulled off be
tween the Summit and Webster
mines, the latter winning in a
score of 5 to 2.
On Tuesday one of the best
games ever pulled off in Milbank
was given the crowd Of fans who
filed the grandstand. The con
test was between Ortonville and
Webster, and the players we're
we'll. matched, resulting in most
interesting game that was in
doubt when the last inning was
called. The Webster nine won
liz a score of 5 to 3.
The game Wednesday was
between the Twin Brooks and
Corona mines, the former win
ming in a score of ii to +.

The Carnival

The carnival" exhibition Civ
en- by the Capital City Amuse-
ment Company during Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week, was far from a brilliant
success, and was q poor invest
ment for the city or the Carnival
company either at this particu
lar time, The company is prob.
ably no better or worse than
other companies of this kind us
ually are, and to its credit be it
said, none of its attractions
we're of an immoral, gambling or
grating character, and its peO-
pie were generally well behaved.
but there was certainly nothing
in the whole outfit that would re.
dound to the building up Of Mil
bank financially, esthetically or
morally, and it is the Judgment
OF most OF our people that the
visits of these travelling carni-
val com panies are Of little value
to a community or city.

Fire Alarms by Telephone

automatically releases any connection
which may be established on the line.
Three styles of fire boxes are fur
nished. For residences, stores and
places requiring only one station, a.
handsome mahogany box is placed in
any desired location and operated as
indicated above by breaking the glass
and pushing the button.
For factories, hotels, schools and
large buildings a transmitting device
enclosed in an iron case is placed in
any convenient location in the building
and may be operated by push button
as in the residence type, or connected
with a thermostat system, whereby the
fire alarm signal would be automatical-
ly sent in upon the operation of a
thermostat in any part OF the building.
Where the thermostat equipment is
used bells are installed upon each floor
of the building which give a local alarm
at the same time,the fire alarm is being
transmitted to headquarters.
For small cities having no fire
alarm system, an iron street box is
provided which may be placed at a
telephone pole or in any desired public
place and connected with any operating
telephone circuit.
"The fact that this fire alarm sys-
tenn operates on lines which are sub
jected to a test many times day rem
ders this method of giving fire alarm
service particularly reliable. In the
automatic system of telephony the fire
department is usually given low num-
Der which Is called practically instan-
taneously by the transmitting device of
the fire alarm box, and the time re-
CURED to transmit the signal is the
same at all hours of the day or night"

From the Literary Digest.

Telephones are now quite generally
used for sending fire alarms, but in
many cases, through excitement, wrong
locations are given, or the person CIV
ing the alarm is misunderstood and the
engines go to the wrong place. If the
telephone is to be used for this pur-
pose the advantages of a system to
send alarms automatically and cor
rectly are obvious. A recent telephone
alarm system which fills this need is
connected directly with the telephone
and can be installed in any desired To-
cation in a residence or building. In
case of fire, all that is necessary Is
to take the small hammer that hangs
by each of the alarm boxes, break the
glass front of the box, and push the
button. Says a writer in Telephony,
Chicago:
TN this system the fire alarm box
is connected to any operating telephone
line, and so arranged that, upon break
ing the glass and pushing a button, the
line is temporarily cut off and the con-
nection to fire headquarters is automa-
tically and instantaneously established
through the switchboard. The fire
alarm box Immediately proceeds to
register it's own number upon a tape at
the fire headquarters, repeating the
registering five times, the usual tape
punching apparatus being employed for
~his purpose. AS soon as the transmits
sion of the alarm has been completed,
the fire alarm box restores the tele-
phone line to its normal condition SO
that the telephone may be used imme-
diateIy. Before beginning the trans
mission of the alarm, the fire alarm box
