Booster night" at the chautauqua
on Tuesday evening was certainly a
huge success. Even before 800
o'clock the line began to form before
the gate and by that time the extra
car service on the car line began to
add to the crowd in large numbers.
President George w. Shockley. of the
chautauqua association, called the
assembly to order and Rev. M. A. KEEL
sey. of the Friends church, delivered
the invocation.
BY force of circumstances the
presidents address was very brief
and after few congratulatory state

most notable was the burning of a
small piece of paper and from the
ashes comes forth a live dove. He
takes the dove and seemingly breaks
1t in two parts and Immediately he
has two live doves in his hands. In
all of his marvellous work he keeps
up running fire of comment and sug.

fence in good humor and also adds to
their expectancy. He is a man of
fine personality and pleasing manner
and is thoroughly at home, both on
the platform and with his audiences.
The opening of the session of the
