IN SCHOOL HOUSE

Oskaloosa, Aug. 22.-Damage Of a
somewhat extensive character occurred

from some cause unknown. One of the
four big sklylights in the center of the
building, furnishing light to the large
central hall, fell into the building. The
entire structure with metal frame and
glass crashed into the hall and rooms
below. No cause can be given for the
collapse Of the frame unless the weight
Of the glass on the frame was too great
and carried it down. The material thus
loosened crashed through the lights In

CHAUTAUQUA AT
FAIRFIELD CLOSES

Fairfield, Aug. 22-With an audience
of nearly 5000 people present last
evening the tenth annual session of
the Fairfield chautauqua assembly was
closed by a concert Of over an hour
by the Dixie Jubilee Singers, col-
ored organization, who gave the old
time plantation melodies with a rare
old time style. The Dixie Jubilee
Singers have been in Fairfield before
and the fact that they were to give
the closing program was responsible
for the large audience.
One Of the most eloquent and force
full lectures given on the platform here
this season was that of Lincoln Nc
Connell of Atlanta, Ga, yesterday at
ternoon. Mr.. McConnelps subject was
Dead Lions, or Lost Opportunities,
as he styled It.
In commenting up this lecture, or
how he come to gather it first Mr. Nc
Cornell stated that some years ago he
started to read the bible through and
he got as far as the Book Of Judges
when he read the story Of Sampson
Staying the lion and it took such a hold
upon his mind that he at once studied
out lecture from that portion OF the
story and it had come to be one OF his
most popular lectures.
".All ignorance is traceable to lazi-
ness" said Mr.. Mcconnell and he pro-
ceeded to show to the young men who
were present what 1t means to shirk
their duty, to loaf around pool halls
and to get the idea that their employ
ers are stingy and miserly and not
treating them right. Laziness alone Is
responsible for practically all of the
failures in this world, and the story
OF the success of young Samson which
was due to his definite purpose, was
told in a humorous manner yet with an
earnestness that brought home to
many in the vast audience the truths
which Mr.. Mcconnell wanted to teach
Mrs George Collfngwood Tucker
gave delightful entertainment yester-
day morning when she gave to the
audience an hour of negro folk lore as
she had seen it in the southland which
is her home. |
While the proceeds Of this assem-
bly, will probably fall about 5000 short
Of last year, ,he members OF the asso-
citation express themselves as we'll
pleased with the results of the past
ten days, and the hundreds Of people
who have been camping on the
grounds have thoroughly enjoyed the
assembly.
