PIRATES FAIL TO
TAKE TREASURE.
SO Youngsters Are Happy In
Prospect Of Seeing Big Ring
ling Day Circus Parade.
3 MILES RAINBOW CARAVAN

= Had Captain Kidd run down the
steamer Molly Burton as she crossed
the Atlantic this spring, he would at
first sight have thought he had cap
tured all the gold, silver and preci-
Gus stones in the world. But for
tunately for young America, pirates
no longer exist and in consequence
the good ship came to anchor in New
York harbor. From the vessel the
,glittering load was transferred to a
strain of twenty cars sent to Baraboo,
WIS. and there a ded to that vast
pageant which will on Wednesday,
Oct. q, be seen herein connec-
zion with Ringing Brothers circus
All of the armor and properties
used in the newly added spectacle of
Solomon and the Queen of Sheba,
toge Their with the accessories and
decoration of the floats, tableau cars,
band chariots. and other features of
this seasons street parade were de-
signed and fashioned in Italy and
France. Many of the massive pan
els such as those fitted to the sides of
FARMLAND vans and throne vehicles.
were in the work shops and studios
for almost two years. They are hand
carved by the finest of European
craftsmen and FURNISHED with pure
gold. The great front and cornice
pieces are inlaid with polished met
ais and set with brilliants. This and
a vast assortment of other phara-
phernalia composed the cargo of the
steamer Molly Burton.
1t is said that this seasons street
parade will prove the most inagnfi-
cent ever seen in America. There
will be more than 700 horses in line
and these will'wear silver mounted
harness. All costumes are made :
from the finest silk and broadcloth, :
while the countless flags and BAN
lners repsent the most expensive of
Japanese and Chinese art work.
Aside from the glitter of the parade
are such novelties as 10 camels driv-
en- like horses and a team of six ze-
bras attached to a pneumatic pipe
organ. 1t requires an hour for the
big pageant to pass given point.

He dressed completely before read

SALT LAKE BOOSTERS
PAY CALDWELL
SHORT VISIT

The Good Fellowship excursionists
from the Salt Lake Commercial club
arrived Tuesday evening according
to schedule and to the wierd Wall of
the Wizard of the Wasatch."
They were met by delegation from
the Commercial club and after a par.
ade, headed by the famous Held band,
the usual courtisies were extended in
an oratorical way.
The speakers urged that co-opera-
ton continue to be the keynote of the
New West, that each section strive to
help itself by helping the others.
After some splendid quartette selec-
tons by the Imperial Quartette, the
visitors adjourned to the club rooms
where various addresses were made.
Walter Griffiths was there with the
Black Canyon and the Salt Lake am
bition for stock yards was given its
first light of day.
Several of the business men paid the
train a visit to examine the beau-ti-
full fttings-and found them so en-
thralling that they nearly forgot to
step off the train when the party be-
gan to move westward.
The excursionists have a good idea
and undoubtedly make many friends
and excellent commercial connections
by the trips.

THE CHAUTAUQUA.

The Caldwell Chautauqua which be-
gins its six-day festival of entertain
ment on Thursday, July 2, comes
here solely by reason of a big cash
guarantee signed by SO local business
and professional men. This is one of
the sixty chautauquas on the Pacific
coast circuit managed by the Ellison
White System OF Portland, Oregon.
If there should be any deficit, these
guarantors have to make it good; if
any profits, they all go to the Chau-
tauqua management. The guarantors
can only meet their guarantee by SELL
ing season tickets, yet they get no
complimenaries themselves, but have
to pay the same as anybody else. 1t
sounds funny that business men en-
ter that kind of deal. Still, they
consider it good business. To them
the chautauqua is not money max
ing proposition, but in the same class
as the public schools, the public lib
rary and kindred institutions.
A community profits from the chau-
tauqua because it furnishes quality,
quantity and variety of entertainment
at minimum cost. The official pro-
gram shows that if a person should
pay regular admission prices of 25c
to IS cents each for single events, it
would cost $o.40 to take in the long
series of features. By purchasing a
season ticket at $3.50, the purchaser
saves $500, and he has the privilege
of transferring the ticket to any other
member of the family for any events
he may not be able to attend. Child
rem between the ages of six and IA
years may obtain season tickets at
$l.OO, and they must have these in
order to enter the Indian games.
During the six days there are 80
entertainments given, including ten
concerts, ten lectures and ten special
novelty entertainments. There is
something doing every minute from
nine o'clock in the morning until ten
or eleven at night, except the meal
hours. The morning is devoted tc
classes and games for children, and tc
lecturing on literary, sociological anc
religious topics. The afternoons anc
evenings are given up entirely to en-
tertainment. Some lecturers have nc
purpose to deliver a message to the
people, but speakers must be enter
tanning in order to win a place on thu
chautauqua. Big crowds are attract
ed by the concerts and specialties
but the live wire orators really Civ
the biggest satisfaction.
