SUCCESSFUL
''f CHAUTAUQUA
Was Brot to a Satisfactory
Close Last Night
EVERY NUMBER
GREATLY ENJOYED
Popular Opinion Freely Expressed
that Array of Talent was Better
than Ever Before


Tho the members of the guar
antors committee were compelled
to dig down in their jeans for a
few simoleans each, with which to
fill the chasm between the amount
realized from the sale of tickets
and the guarantee we made to the
Redpath. Horner Chautauquas, it
is most gratifying to The Enter
prise to report that not single
murmur has been heard and in
stead the guarantors express their
satisfaction with the chautauqua
that last night came to a most
successful close.
Under the uneasy conditions
that prevail this year, the unset
tied weather conditions and the
unreasonable period when we
were compelled to hold our chau-
tauqua, the gusrantors knew that
they were venturing much in
backing such an undertaking as q
chautauqua, and they were highly
pleased with the undoubted sue
cess of our chautauqua, and
that they were able to provide
our people with seven days of en-
tertainment that was wholesome,
clean and instructive and will be
for long pleasing memory with
everyone who attended.
The entire program has been
remarkably free from disappoint-
ments and exceptionally filled
with agreeable surprises. OF the
fourteen entertainments there was
not a complete number that was
entitled to or received adverse
criticism and there were many
that exceeded the expectations of
everyone, SO that the chautauqua
just closed was by all odds the
most generally satisfying and sue
cessful of any that has been held
in Rocky Ford.
An unexpected addition TO the
opening program last Friday af-
ternoon was Adrian Newens, who
had short h rt-gripping story
to tell before he, with blarney that
might be expected from one of
their own nationality, introduced
The Killarneys, one of the finest
aggregation of girls that has ever
been gathered from the "Ould
Sod" With melody and mirth
Rita Rich and her compani ons
auspiciously opened the chautau-
qua.
On Friday evening The Killar-
neys kindled the smiles of every
one with their music and song,
and were followed by Americas
foremost monologist, Adri a N
Newens, who held the absorbed
attention of the vast audience vii

entertainer was Ned Woodman,

Perhaps the most pleasing sur
prise was that furnished by Gov.
Glenn, the lecturer on Saturday
evening. The former governor OF
North Carolina proved himself Il

Petrograd, Aug. 1O.-The Bourse
Gazette learns, from an unimpeachable
source. that the German Emperor made
an offer of peace to Russia last week
through the King of Denmark. The
answer sent to the King stated that
the question Of peace could not be
raised at the present time. The re-
port that Germany had made peace
proposals to Russia became known in
official circles here several days ago
and was freely discussed in the lobbies
of the Duma, according to the vech-
ernee Vremya.
I'VE learn on good authority" says
the newspaper, that Germany through
Denmark proposed to Russia separ-
ate peace; Russia to receive Galicia,
while Germany would retain the West.

London, Aug. lO.-The Germans con.
tinue to make progress in their efforts
to cut off the Russian retreat from the
Polish region. They have commenced
an attack on the fortresses Of Koyno
and ossowetz, which are among the
obstacles to be overcome to reach the
railway running from Warsaw through
Wilma and Dvinska to Petrograd. They
have taken the minor fortresses Of Sc
rock at the junction OF the Narew and
the Bug, and have crossed the Vistula
near Warsaw.
Further south, Gen. Woyrsch Is ad-
vancing eastward. but Field Marshal
Won Mackensen is being stubbornly re-
sisted and apparently making slow
progress. On the whole the daring
scheme mapped out by the Germans as
a sequel to the capture of Warsaw
the destruction of the Russian army
is unfolding slowly. With the three
main railways besides those built since
the war II is believed In military cir
cles here that the Grand Duke Nicho-
las will be able to extricate his War
saw army. The events in the East,
however. will continue to rivet the at
tention of the world for some time to
come.
