CHAUTAUOUA GROUNDS
~ VERY BUSY PLACE NOW

tarysgirl sits guard over the furnish
ings that have arrived and shows very
evidently that the long delayal of the
rest of the family and belongings is
boring her extremely. The grounds are
full of people and a never ending
stream of wagons and people on foot
flows in and out of the various gates.
People of all varities mingle togeth-
er, the experienced camper who has
been there every single year. and is
very prodigal with advice to the novice
who don't know how to drive a stake
or arrange an over-abundant supply OF
furniture; the cheerful person who
thinks that this year will be the best
ever" and the- chronic crouch who is
predicting two weeks of steady rain
Is Quite Task.
The work of erecting a white city
the size of the present one is quite a
task and the group of busy workmen
are bringing order out of chaos in a
mastery way. Most of the tents are
completely erected and the occupants
comfortably settled in their temporary
homes, but in a few instances the work
of laying the floors and putting up the
tents is yet to be done.
1t is expected that almost all of the
work will be completed by this even
ing and by Sunday every thing will be
in good working order and every one
will have an understanding of the
requirements of the camp. The
benches which are to be used in the
auditorium are practically new. The
business office has been established in
the grounds and E. X. Shera and w. ..
Wissler are attending to the wants of
the campers in a satisfactory manner.
The management is expecting the most
successful Chautauqua this year that
has ever been conducted in Richmond
and believe that they have planned to
overcome any difficulty of opposition
that may arise.

Thinks Former Richmond
Man An Unsafe Advisor
For the President.
MAKES INSlNUATlON
Says Hale Left Ardmore, Pa,
Years Ago Under Pecu-
liar Circumstances.
National News Association

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator
Penrose today offered a resolution
calling upon the president to inform
the senate whether DR.. W. Bayard
Hale has been recently employed by
any Of the executive departments DR..
Hale is believed to be unoff1cially rep
resenting the president in Mexico.
Senator Bacon, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, objected TO
immediate consideration of the reso-
luton.
Senator Penrose said that Dr. Hale
left Ardmore, Pa, thirteen years ago
under circumstances which he did not
care to discuss He said that DR.. Hale
was representing himself as an en-
voy of the president in Mexico, and
at the same time he was exploiting a
publishing concern.
Deems Him Unsafe Man.
II consider Dr. Hale a dangerous
advisor of the administration" said
Penrose. The sooner this connection
is broken the better. The gentleman
has been strangely active in Mexican
affairs. and conveys the impression
that he is acting for the administra
ton"
Senator Lodge said he believed the
President was acting patriotically.
Senator Poindexter offered a reso-
luton calling upon the president TO
inform the senate what measures have
been taken for the protection of Am
ericans in Mexico.

BIG STACKN NOWCOMPLETED;
- IS TALLEST ONE IN CITY
Daring Workmen Who Have
Been Perched Upon the
Big Structure 5 Weeks
Did a Good Job.

The work of erecting the new 1T5
foot chimney at the city light plant has
been completed and the men are put
ting up the lightning rods on each
in the JOB which they commenced
five weeks ago tomorrow The stack is
the tallest in the city. The work has
progressed steadily and no accidents
have befallcn any of the daring work
men who have been perched above the
ground for so long.
The foundation is of solid concrete
built to a distance OF 1212 feet below
the surface of the ground and meas
uring 36 feet in diameter at the base.
The stack is 1912 feet in diameter at
the bottom from the outside of each
wall. The inside diameter is 12l2 at
the bottom and 10 feet at the top.
The wall is > feet wide at the base and
s inches at the top.
The Material Used.
The material required in the con-
struction of the chimney was II car
loads of brick, carloads of sand,
and seventy barrels of cement. The
cost was $4,000, and the weight of the
stack is about five hundred tons,
without the foundation. which weighs
fully that much itself. The new stack
will be used in connection with the
additional boilers and engine which
are to be installed at the city plant
soon. The contractors are now at
work putting in the concrete founda-
tions for the new addition and expect

GOWN QUESTION
PUZZLES CLERKS

"Was it an X-ray gown" is the
question that is till puzzling the
postal clerks.
This morning a lady appeared
at the parcel post window and
asked rates on a package weigh
ing four ounces. When asked what
it contained she replied, Its
dress"
Whereupon the clerk was puz-
zled. IF only four ounces of ma
terial is necessary to make address,
for a woman, why is the cost of
living so high?" he wondered.
Was it a practical dress for
street wear or forthe stage? With
difficulty the clerks are, in their
imaginations, stretching that four
ounces of material into a gown
for a full grown woman. But they
are having difficulties, and the
best that they can create is

TODAY 10th ANNIVERSARY
OF CENTERVILLE BA TILE

Some of the more ardent Centervil-
lians wheeled a cannon into the streets
and shots were fired against the front
wall of the old Jail building, the holes
made therein still being plainly in evil
dence to this day.
Richmond's campaign to wrest the
court house from Centerville began in
June, 1872, more than year being de-
voted to the various preliminary steps
to accomplish the result. At that day
Centerville people believed their town
hopelessly ruined and the town was
given serious backset by the chang
cd conditions that resulted. Time, how
ever, has not only wiped out the last
vestige of the old bitter feeling, but
has made Centerville much better
and prosperous town than ever.

Forty years ago today, August Is,
1873, Richmond became the county
seat of Wayne County, the actual
transfer of the official records from
the old court house in Centerville to
the court house in Richmond, having
been made on that date.
There were exciting scenes enacted
in the streets of Centerville forty years
ago today when the order of the coun-
ty commissioners for the removal of
records was being carried into effect
by the special delegation of court bal
lifts and other court house attaches
The delegation got a warm reception
in Centerville, for the court house re-
moval had engendered bitter feeling
and for time it appeared that there
might be serious happenings.

Camping Site Presents APP
pearance Not Unlike the
Arrival of a Circus-Work
to Be Completed Soon.

If you want anything go to the
Chautauqua grounds. Perhaps you
can't find what you want but it's there
if your eyes were only sharp enough
to see it. All day with delivery wag-
ons, automobiles, motor trucks, fam
lily carriages, farm wagons and any
description of vehicle that was pro-
durable, the crowds of happy campers
have been pouring into the grounds,
bringing with them all of their house
hold goods that were not too heavy to
move or too shabby to exhibit before
the public gaze. The entire grounds
present a scene not unlike the arrival
of circus.
Men hurrying here and there with
armloads of stakes and tent poles,
electricians with ladders and punches
of wire hastily installing electric
lights in the tents, carpenters merrily
hammering away on the floors and
platforms, wagons piled high with
chairs, tables and cots, with shrieking
children perched on the very top go
rattling down the grassy avenues that
are already showing the evidence of
much traffic. Boys, unmindful of the
tasks that are imperative in establish
ing a home in tent, go chasing
through the various streets with a mob
of newly found playmates. while their
eXasperated mothers alternately toll
in the tents and make the acquaint-
ance of thir neighbors on either side

in the work was to adapt myself 20
the Japanese mode of thought and
way of doing things. The work has
been specially interesting and easy
because of the general desire among
the Japanese to make the most rapid
progress in all modern sciences and
learning The introduction of this has
caused a great many OF them TO be-
lieve that religion was a matter OF
Importance, but during the past two
years there has been an increase in
the feeling that some religious faith
is essential to make a man Of char
