OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Program This Year The Best Ever Given
in Audubon and Large Crowds are
Attending

Inc AUDUBON echautauqua given by
the Redpath- Vawter system is now in
progress in this city. The large tent
was erected on Saturday and every
thing was in readiness for the first SEES
sion on Sunday afternoon. The people
Of the community have exhibited more
enthusiasm for the chautauqua this
year than ON any year previous and the
result has been that the attendance is
larger. The chautauqua in Audubon
has been a losing proposition TO the
promoters each year, with the ex-
ception of last year. and we are told by
the manager, J. IL. Rohde, that the
prospects for this year are even brighter
than last year.
The Commercial Club of Audubon
guaranteed the sale of 200 season
tickets to be sold at So each. These
were practically all pledged last year
and were taken up with very few ex-
ceptions. The demand for season
tickets this year was far ahead of any
previous years and many were COM
PEELED to pay S. so for season tickets
after the chautauqua opened on Sun
day.
Sunday afternoon large audience
created the Spanish Ladies' Orchestra
and their music at the afternoon and
evening sessions was highly pleasing
and satisfactory to large percent of
the audience. j. X. Hanley was the
lecturer and he interested his hearers
for over IN hour with his popular
lecture, Signs of the Times" In the
evening Judge Blair. who DISTINGUISHED
1880 voters in Ohio, gave a popular ad-
dress. Everybody was satisfied that
the Judge thought great deal of
Adams county Ohio, before he got
through with his address. He was
will worth hearing.
On Monday the music for the after
noon and evening was furnished by the
Jacob Reuter- Co. The company is an
aggregation of artists in their par
ticular lines. The violinist and pianist
were especially pleasing. Ralph Par
lette gave humorous lecture in the
afternoon. There is but one Parlette
and he was enjoyed by almost every
one in the big tent. No one can imi-
tate him. His humor is original and
his personal appearance is unique. Gov.
Glenn, of North Carolina was the
speaker of the evening and more PEG.
pie commented on his address than any
of the previous speakers. He told the
people of the north something very
few believed of their southern brethren.
His story of the battle of Gettysburg
was especially interesting. The COVER
nor has a message for the people and
Audubon people were fortunate indeed
to have him on the program.
The Harmony Concert Co. pleased
the audience on Tuesday at both ses.
sions and were given hearty applause.
Judge Kavanagh, of Chicago, and
former Iowa boy, gave an excellent
talk on the afternoon. His subject
was the Traitors of Justice" This
subject was of much interest to every
one and he handled the matter in a
way that was convincing and pleasing
The Judge is on the right track and if
his suggestions and experiences were
put into practice this country would
have less criminals and those who vio-
lated the law would be compelled to
suffer. All who heard Judge Kava.
nagh agree with him that the. law
should be changed to meet the urgent
demands of the present time.
In the evening DR.. <. W. Oneal, pas
tor of the First NJ. E. church of Chi
cago, delivered his popular lecture,
Popular Fallacies. The Methodist
devine is splendid orator and gave
our people some new thoughts. He
was we'll received and the large audi
ence in attendance gave him the very
closest attention.
Wednesday was the big day. Thaviu
with his International Band was the
star attraction. The band is composed
Of 40 members and it was repeatedly
