kE yTBVILLE CHAuTAUQUA
To be Held Here Sometime in
Next July In Prices
Park.
KeytesviIle is to have a chau-

Keytesville is to have a chau-
tauqua.
This will be a new departure
for Keytesville. This is the
first year that the city has had
an entertainment feature of the
sort.
The contract with the Jones
Chautauqua System was signed
by the Commercial Club repre-
sentatives Friday afternoon after
the city had been canvaSed and
sufficient ticket sales guaran-
teed to make the affair a sure
thing.
The contract calls for a guar
antee of the sale of $3.50 worth
of tickets at $1.0O each. Over
and above this guarantee
any amount taken in at the door
will be divided half and half with
the local Commercial club and
the chautauqua promoters.
The Jones System has been
conducting chautauquas in sew
eral states in this vicinity and
have given return dates year
after year in places where they
have been. Their return dates
at different cities indicate that
they have been putting on a sat
isfactory performance. Under
their contract they will give a
six days program which is to be
shown under tent, similar to that
given last year in Salisbury. 1t
will be in Price Park. The pro-
gram does not contain any top
liners like Bryan, Hobson,
Roosevelt, etc. but it viii con-
tain a list of consistently good
performances, including a num-
ber of the usual musical acts.
There were more expensive
program shown to include some
of the topnotchers, but the mem
bers of the local organization
was afraid that the expense
might be too heavy to guarantee,
and the sense of the body was
that finally the contract should
be signed for the $3.50 attraction
with the privilege of securing
the 5000 program within thirty
days from the signing of the
contract if they should so desire.
{ The Jones people are to sub
NIT a program for the week and
if the same prove satisfactory
and:other Investigations on the
part Of the local people show tie
enterprise to be o. X. the con-
tract is to be in force but they
have the right to cancel any time
within thirty days from Jan 81.
The promoters of the enter
prise with headquarters at Per.
ny. Iowa are to do the adyertis-
ing, furnish the tent and the
programs. The part of the Local
end Of it is to furnish the audi.
ence. It isprobable the chautau'
qua will be held in July as that
is the intention at present.
This is a good move as it will
give six days of entertainment
for the local people and those
from the surrounding county
just at the season when these
things can be enjoyed.

VIM. Mckinley Speaker

The Democrats succeeded in
breaking the q day deadlock in
the Illinois legislature last
Thursday by eletting one Of their
number speaker of the House,
Hon. VIM. Mckinley Of Chicago.
Sounds strange Wm. Mckinley,
democrat, when it developes
who the legislature will elect to
the U. S. Senate. 1t appears
now that the democrats had
traded the prospects for a DEM
ocratic senator for speaker of
