day Morning at Tolu-

Seldom has there been more
genuine sorrow felt in Marion
than that experienced in the
death of Mildred Haynes. the
g irl wife of Trice Bennett.
For months it had been known
that her fight with the grim
monster was an unequal one and
her friends and family and de-
voted husband had hoped against
doubts and fears. Altho attend
ed by the best medical skill,
trained nurse and a loving moth
er, and husband, she gradually
sank under the ravages of the
drea d tuberculosis until the
end came in the early hours last
Saturday morning at her home
near Tolu.
The remains were brought
here to the home of her parents.

CHAUTAUQUA

Had No Trouble to Secure The Re-
quired Guarantee Of $1,000
Among Enthusiasts
fine THINGFOR OUR CITY

Marion is the smallest town in
the South to have Redpath's Cir
cult Chautaugua.
The progressive spirit of the
citizens of Marion asserted it.
self last week when more than
fifty persons pledged themselves
to be responsible for tickets
amounting to 81 900 as a guaran-
the to secure the great Redpath
Chautauqua next summer.
Several months ago Supt.
Snyder, manager of the local
Luceum course, took up the mat
ter with the Redpath Bureau of
Chicago. Due to the size of
the town and its location, it
was hard matter to get the bu-
reau interested enough to send
its representatives here to inves
tigate. But the Bureau took the
stand that town that could sup
port a Lyceum course as large as
ours, could and would support a
Chautauqua. Acting upon this
belief. two men of the bureau,
Mr.. Paisley and Mr.. Wilson were
sent here last Wednesday after
noon.
Nothing further than a con.
sultation was attempted until
Thursday afternoon. Then in
twenty-tour hours the required
mum Der of guarantors were Sc
cured.
The Chautauqua has been call
ed the Peoples University. 1t is
correctly named for it brings the
best preachers. orators. enter
tainers, and musicians that can
be had, and it gives a weeks
wholesome treat that leaves no
bad taste in the mouth. Such
lecturers as Gov. Folk and Adam
Bede, such music as Knights
famous band and such entertain
ers as Lamant are on the pro-
gram.
More extended notice will be
given later. The time is about
the last of June or the first of
July.
There will be twenty pro-
grams and the tickets for the
whole week are two dollars
or all over fourteen years of age.
For those under that age, one
dollar.
They do all the advertising,
bring their own tent and crew
and between 125 and $50 persons
are on the program. They put
advertising matter in every
home in the county and in all
towns within so miles of Marion.

Abandoned Mines.

Old worked out mines are often high
" dangerous. When they are alm0s,
forgotten the ground above them will
sometimes cave in with disastrous re-
suits. 1t is not an uncommon thing
in an old mining district to see q
house or even part of town that has
been wrecked by dropping into an un'
suspected and long abandoned tunnel
beneath. The ordinary preventive
method used in American mines is
more or less extensive timbering. A
method used in European and Austria
Ian mining districts is the filing Of
abandoned workings with sand. This
is a somewhat expensive method to
start with. but once done no further
thought need be given to it, as the
abandoned mine has practically become
once more a part of the solid crust of
the earth.

Where lts Water Comes From Or

One of the curiosities of the west is
the walled lake. something over a
hundred miles west of Dubuque, la.
This lake is from two to three feet
higher than the earth's surface In
some places the wall Is ten feet high.
fifteen feet wide at the bottom and
five feet on top. A remarkable cir
cumstance with reference to this odd
lake is the size of the stones used in
its construction, tnasmuch as the whole
Of them varies in weight from three
tons to 100 pounds. There is abun-
dance of stones in Wright county, but
surrounding the lake to the extent of
6ve or ten miles there are none.
No one has any idea as to the means
employed to bring these stones to the
spot or as to who constructed this lake.
Around the entire lake is a belt of
woodland half mile in length CON-
posed Of oak. With this exception the
country is a rolling prairie. The trees
must have been planted there at the
time Of the building of the wall In
the spring of the year 1856 there was
a great storm. and the ice on the lake
broke the wall in several places. The
farmers in the vicinity were obliged to
repair the damages to prevent inunda-
ton. The lake occupies ground sur.
face of $500 acres. The depth of the
water Is as great as twenty-five feet.
The water is clear and cold: the soil
Is sandy and loamy. 1t is a singular
fact that no one has been able to as
certain where the water comes from
nor where it goes. yet it is always
fresh and clear.-New York Press.
