Chautauqua Notes.

There will be seven big musical
attractions again this year-a com
piete change of music daily. The
musical program is by far the most
|e%pensive yet provided.
The grand opera program to be rem
dered by six grand opera stars, &C
companied by Thaviu's band, will put
en- two hours or more of II Trovatore
at the evening session.
1t will be a novel performance that
will be rendered by the Russian Royal
Ealalaika orchestra. The Balalaika
is an instrument little known in
America.
Mrs. A. c. Zehner, another south
ern lady orator, is booked to deliver
her lecture on reform topics at the
chautauqua. Mrs. Zehner is an Amer
lean suffraget.
Frederick Kickbush, Jr. and Madam
Ringsdorf have both been secured to
sing with the artists company. They
are VOcallStS OF international tame.
Hon. w. I. Nolan, humorist of the
Minnesota legislature, is on the pro.
gram and plenty of his big laughs
are promised.
The Cedar Rapids headquarters
present scenes of tremendous activ-
ity nowadays. The work of handling
the big string Of chautauquas is being
planned and every detail arranged.
In securing Rosani, the celebrated
juggler, for one entertainment, the
management is providing a novelty of
a character never before used on the
system.
Max and D. Boucher will both be
with the group of grand opera singers
again this season. The people will
readily recall these artists.

A seed corn test was held in Wood
tine several days ago by prominent
banker at that place who has be-
come interested in the seed corn. A
Holden seed corn tester was procured
by the banker and twenty-four differ
ent farmers brought in from eight to
a dozen ears to be tested. All told
ZIP kernels were in the test, taken
from 1862 ears of corn, 6 from each ear.
Out Of this total of kernels $50 only
showed strong and the other 1903
were One-half rotten, the balance all
the way from no vitality at all to a
sickly start at termination that would
count naught for seed. This is a
mighty poor showing-26 per cent as
ali average for the entire "a samples
in the test. We wonder if the farm
ers OF Crawford county are testing
their seed corn this year? Reports
from over the state show the seed
corn to be generally in poor condition
for planting.

FAMOUS HOSTELRY in
BOSTON is BURNED
SEVERAL GUESTS HAD NARROW
ESCAPES FROM THE REVERE
ON BoWDolN SQUARE

Boston, Jan. 16.-The Revere
House, one of the oldest and m3st
famous hotels in New England, was
partly destroyed by fire early today.
Quick work by the employees and the
firemen saved all the guests though
there were many narrow escapes. The
loss is estimated at 100000.
The hotel, which fronts on Bow
doin Square and which has sheltert 4
such famous guests as the Prince Of
Wales, later King Edward VII, Daniel
Webster, Jenny Lind, Emperor Pedro
of Brazil and Admiral Pasha Of the
Turkish navy, was five story struc-
ture of stone and brick.
Starting in the rear of the grotto.
decorated cafe in the lower part OF
the hotel, the fire gained rapid head
way and in a few minutes the flames
had leaped up the stairways and ele-
vator wells to the upper stories in the
Bullfinch annex. Employees of the
hotel, policemen, firemen and others
aroused the sleeping guests and there
were many thrilling rescues.
Dozens of women were helped to
safety and several men and women
escaped by climbing to the roofs of
adjoining buildings. The fire escapes
were lined with men and women, and
hastily-raised ladders were the means
of rescue for more than score. Two
women were let down from a window
and firemen below on ladders brought
them to the street. Glad only in their
night clothes, a majority of the guests
received shelter in nearby hotels.
Several lost all their effects.

balcony was arranged as rest room
and was also a favorite rendezvous.
Supper was served from II p. m. un-
til 2 a. m. The supper room was sit
uated in the assembly room at the
west end of the Old Palace and was
also magnificently decorated. Dark
green panels Of cloth effectually con-
cealed the priceless books with which
the room is filled and formed an eff
fective background for ferns and red
poinsettias, California peppers cover
ed the ceiling and embowered the
walls. Silver candelabra and great
clusters of roses with handsome ap-
pointments made the dining room a
place of beauty and of eplcurean de-
light. The first one hundred persons
seated included the governor and his
party, state officials and other promi-
nent guests.

of the series of cold waves that have
swept Kansas this winter. Letters
and country papers reaching here
from the western portion of the state
bring narrowing tales of suffering and
tell probable deaths of persons not

there is no doubt that great crowds
will greet the train throughout the
entire journey.
