HOW ABOUT FAIR GROUND
AND TRACK?

1t is time that work was being done
to complete the Lyon County fair
grounds and race track if there is to
be fair and track meet this next fall
Considerable work has been done on
the track but it needs more; fence
around the grounds is needed and a
grand stand and barns, sheds and pens
for stock 1t will take time to do all
these things and time slips rapidly by.
September is only five months dis
tant, and it will make the company
hustle to get all these things done in
five months. Elsewhere in this
issue will be found statement of the
company's finances and from it will
be seen that there is little money on
hand with which to operate We are
informed that something like $4,000
has been subscribed and from the
statement it appears that less than
$1,000 has been paid. With the 49,
600 due to be paid in a great amount
of work could be accomplished, and
those who owe it should come through
so that delay will not be caused and
doubt exist as to whether we should
have fair this year or not. A county
fair, is great advertisement for the
county and will pay good interest on
the money invested to get it estab
lished Don't delay the matter any
longer, gentlemen, and thereby make
it an uphill task for those who are
trying to get things in shape.

lost. Then suddenly he saw that the
wires connecting two glass condemns
ers were worn away. 1t was too late
to fix 1t now, Taking his pocketknife
out Edison connected the two wires
with this. There was a great crack
In his brain, but he knew the reasoss.
The power was great and in that in

the knife with rubber gloves and held

the floor.
Slowly and then with a rush the
whole earth began to move out of its
orbit. People gasped with amaze

was a rush and roar from above.
and the huge meteor rushed past in
the place which the Earth had just
occupied. The Earth was saved.

The Gold Plates, or a Glance
Into the Future

Continued from yesterday

Edison came down to the factory,
after short nap of thirty minutes,
with haggard eyes and lean face. He
was biding on typhoid and he knew
1t. Nevertheless he worked all that
day, like demon. At o'clock huge
extras were issued that Jackson, a
south Texas astronomer, had issued a
statement to the effect that the
meteor would strike the earth in less
than four hours. A huge mob of peo-
pie quickly gathered in front of Edi-
sons factory and began to hurl stones
at him. They had gone mad. Edison
was frantic. If the stones harmed
his machinery all would be lost. Then
the State militia was ordered out, and
succeeded in dispensing them for the
time.
1t is useless to try to describe the
torture Edison suffered that night.
The hours sped, but with them there
still remained some unfinished work.
At IL o'clock the sky was almost as
bright as noon. Thousands swarmed

ooh, but I could see him burned at

Miss Isle did not talk outside the
family, but she hated just the same,
and she resolved that she would
never marry unless her lover wiped
the earth with the lawyers body.
Three months later, as, she started
out one day with her runabout, she
was hating yet If she was given
half chance she would run Mr..
Blaisdell down and plead that the
steering gear was out of order.
Golden Hill was steep, long hill,
with two turns in 1t, and at its foot
was a bridge over deep river. The
girl was just taking the last turn
with a wbizz that would have car
ried her across the bridge when the
man she hated appeared before her
with a small log in his hands, and
the obstruction was thrown in such
a way that the machine was run
head on into the bank. The driver

THE CHAUTAUQUA

pleted The sixteen programs have
left very agreeable impression, as
a whole, of delightful and instruc-

program was distinctiYely different
in character from any of the others,

were. of course, favorite numbers,

Hills several times in the past, but
for some reason or another, had al
ways been disappointed To get
here Yesterday he was forced to
ride the freight train III from Hud
son. The people of this community
have been awaiting with eager ar
ticip ation this chance TO hear DR.
Hills; they were out in force yester-
day to hear him, with high expecta-
lions. He not only measured up to
their expectations, but far surpassed
them with his lecture on America
70 Day and Tomorrow OF the
musical numbers perhaps Liberati's
oand and grand opera singers was
the most generally popular, al
hough the tamburica orchestra
Yesterday was about AS popular. In
solo work the Riheldaffer G ailey
company, Madame Grace Hall Ri
heli4ffer, sopr 4no, and Miss Mary
Denuison Galley, violinist, with
Ward c Lewis, piani t, were promi
nent favorites with the Chautauqu J.
audience. The entertainment by
he Ojibway Indians Monday drew
he largest crowd, and their inter.
probation of the Hiawatha Play in
the evening was especially enter
tanning. Madame Mouutford's lee.
ture was of great value to Bible
students, and intensely interesting
throughout. Miss Marietta La Dell
was the most popular among the
readers.
During last evening S performance
Prof HimeIiCk took a vote of the
audience in regard to having "A
Chautauqua course here next year
Tickets We're passed around, and
,ver three hundred were returned
favoring the idea. A standing vote
was almost unanimous. The course
here has been a great success. A
hearty vote of thanks should be ex-
tended to the committee in charge,
and also to those who signed the
guarantee. The weather throughout
the week was ideal, a week of. al
most continuous storm h a t i n &
.bruptly and furnishing eight of
he most perfect summer days.
The receipts of the entire course
have not as yet been announced,
but an authoritative a m e n t
places the total for the eight days
at between $4,000 and $2400.
