Third Day Of chautauqua.
The third day of Nauvoo's splendid
chautauqua has passed and on Thurs
day afternoon and evening the large
tent was crowded with lovers Of fine
music and instructive lectures. Mr.. c.
C Capped and his splendid concert or
chestra entertained the enormous
crowd with a splendid concert and
y there was not dull moment and no
waits between numbers. The six
Young men composing the orchestra
play different instruments and in the
selections kept them busy changing
during the rendition of numbers. This
is one of the strongest numbers on the
Nauvoo chautauqua program and all
those present We're delighted with the
music. This bright and happy COM
panv Of musical artists appeared again
this afternoon and will con-
clude their engagement this (Friday)
evening.
At three o'clock Thursday afternoon
after Caps orchestra had rendered
their program, Col Bob Seeds lectured
on How God Made Soil Fertile" and
he kept the crowd in good humor dur
ing his entire discourse. Bob Seeds
claims to be plain farmer and in
some respects looks it. He particular
ly interested the many farmers pres
ent and was asked many questions.
all of which we're readily answered
with apparent satisfaction. The gentle.
man is a fine lecturer and pleased all
who were present and no doubt all
would like to hear him again.

The ladies Of the Civic league arc
so we'll pleased with the success OF
their initial chautauqua in Nauvoo
that they have already begun opera
tons for another in 1915 to take place
about th., same date OF the year. They
have printed cards which they cfrcu-
lated among the audience which reads
II as follows: "Nauvoo. ILL.,. - 10. l
promise to take, If am living in. this
community - adult ticket, and -
children's ticket for chautauqua to be
held in Nauvoo In 1916, Adult ticket
to cost $3.50; children's ticket. rs
cents. Payable when ticket Is deliv-
cred. Signed - These were quite
literally signed and returned to the
Civic league ladies' and another chau-
tauqua for 1916 is practically assured
and will be on a more gigantic scale
than the present one.
Our ladies who compose the CIVIC
league were anxious to secure re-
lease from the contract they had sign
ed to place chautauqua in Nauvoo
this year, because after they had gone
into the matter they received nothing
but words of disbursement on every
hand. The management Of chautauqua
circuits insisted on the ladies fulfill
ing the signed contract and after max
ing some changes for the benefit OF
the ladies they went ahead with the
project and now they are pleased that
they had done so, for it has proved
grand success IN every way

Rev. VIM. Hertel, the plat

the hardest workers to make this ini-
tial entertainment a success. He work

league ladies could have gotten along
without him. This reverend gentle.
man was the right man in the right
place.
So far Keokuk or FIT. Madison was
sparsely represented at the Nauvoo
chautauaua. When either of these
places have any "doings" in their
cities Nauvoo people are we'll repre-
sented.
