Redpath- Vawter Chautauqua Again
Next Year.

After considerable discussion among
the business men of Cresco. about 55
of them, signed guarantee contract
for 700 tickets at $500 each, which
was demanded for the course here
next season.
While some of the lectures and enter
tainments were satisfactory, it is gen
erally conceded that the average was
far below that of previous years. The
objection to making contract was
not the advance in price, but the
feeling that the Redpath-V awter people
were giving us lot of cheap stuff for
our money.
With the exception of Gunsaulas,
Writ and Mrs. NZehner, the lecturers
evoked no particular interest, and the
music and entertainments with the
exception of Thaviu's band, and Pack
ard, the cartoOnist, were ordinary to
mediocre, and some of them positively
'punk.
The Redpath-Vawter talk about the
expense of their talent is all ''moon-
shine" West Union puts on their own
Chautauqua. select their talent, fix
their own date, and the manager in
forms us that the total expense for
the course, talent, advertising. rent of
tent, ETC., will be $1,50O, just 500
more than we will give Redpath-Vawt-
er for a guarantee. And they have a
good program. too. VIM. ]. Bryan,
the highest priced lecturer on the
platform will be with them, Aug. 18th.
Senator Kenyon, Bishop Berry, Albert
Edward Williams and Father Graham
are among their lecturers. Their
musical entertainments are all good,
including the Hungarian Orchestra,
which was one of the Redpath- Vawter
headliners in Cresco its first year.
This is the sixth year of independent
Chautauquas in West Union and their
manager tells us that it has proved so
satisfactory that they would not con-
slider any other plan.
The Redpath-V awter people must
make good their promise to the busi-
ness men to give us better program
next season, or they will lose Cresco,
for while the business men shrink
from the trouble of managing the
Chautauqua, and prefer to let the Red
path Vawter people do it, they have
found that Independent Chautauquas
can be successfully conducted, and will
probably refuse to give another guar
antee, feeling no Chautauqua for the
town is better than one which does not
satisfy the people or attract outsiders
to the town-and the recent Chautau-
qua was lamentably weak in the latter
respect.

Third Party Not Needed in Iowa.

To what extent the third party move
ment will become factor IN the Iowa
campaign is yet undetermined. That
there is lot of Roosevelt senti-
ment in the state cannot be successful
ly denied. If Roosevelt were placed
at the head of ticket, and a cam
paign made in Iowa in his behalf, his
vote might be very large. But on the
other hand, republicans who are dis
satisfied with the proceedings of the
Chicago convention and who resents
domination of the party by the reac-
tionaries, are finding in Woodrow Will
son, the democratic numinee, the kind
of a man they can support, both as a
protest to the raw work of the bosses
in Chicago and as recognition of the
righteousness of progressive princi-
plies. In Wilson they find thorough
progressive, who, although democrat,
is far above mere partisanship. They
can vote for Wilson in the knowledge
that they are casting ballots both for
a good man and good cause.
Those who feel they cannot support
TAFT and Sherman ought to be satisfied
with Wilson and Marshall. Cedar
Rapids Gazette.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Lowell. Indiana. January 15.-Har-
vey Hildebrandt met with an ex-
perience that makes him shudder
whenever he thinks of it. He and his
wife had been staying at the home of
her parents during the recent cold
snap and the water in the pipes in the
range had frozen up. Saturday. in
tending to go home, he went on and
built rousing fire in the range and
then went out of doors. While out he
heard terrific noise and saw glass
flying from the windows. He rushed
to the house and found that the stove
had been blown to pieces and two big
holes knocked in the ceiling. Every
window light was knocked out. The
ice in the pipes forming steam and
having no outlet was the cause of the
explosion. Had Mr.. Hildebrandt re-
manned in the room after building the
fire he undoubtedly would have been
killed

The Surgery
Of Light
The Most Marvellous Dis.

Decade.
IA Hammond Man, neIr to Its
GoOd Pleasure.

Perhaps science has never been
marked by an advance so great as the
successful treatment OF diseases by the
light treatment. Cancer. Lupus,
Psoriasis and many skin diseases, that
only q few years ago, were thought to
be incurable, or amenable only to the
surgeons knife, are now practically
mastered by the x-ray. the violet ray
and the high-frequency lights. The
physicians of our town have done well
their part, in coupling themselves with
modern appliances. In the ONCE OF DR..
Leedy, 80 & 80 Rimbach Bldg. over the
Lion Store Hammond, is to be found q
variable light institute as well as other
mechanical devices for curing diseases.
Every form of electricity is here turn
ed to a therapeutic use. 1t Is not at all
strange that electricity should have
such therapeutic value. the only won
der is, that its utility was not known
10 the medical profession sooner.
Eczema, acna and other skin diseases
that were formerly treated with
plasters. pasts and lotions with very
Indifferent success are now readily and
completely cured by some OF the light
treatments just mentioned. Following

short of marvellous. In ten days my
face was smoothe and the soreness all
