AttraCtiOns-JuniOr Chau-

ganiZed.

Our first Chautauqua is soon to
start. Mr.. A. R. Nieman. the advance
man is here now. Mr.. Chaplin d.
Foster who is to be the superinten-
dent for the week, will arrive today
in company with his assistants, Mr..
Wills and Miss Miller, who will have
complete charge Of the Junior that
will be carried on for the holders of
children tickets. The Fair Building
is in shape and Saturday afternoon
the first program will be staged.
Miss Miller Is a very fine young
lady who has been connected with
children and the Chautauqua move
ment for children for several years
past and is the very best person that
one could find to take this Junior
ChautauQua work. This work will
start promptly at 9 o'clock Saturday
morning in the Fair pavilion and ev-
cry child should be there for the first
session and not miss any session after
that one as there Will be some new
games and stories every day.
Col. Miller, who is the first speaker
on the platform, is the man who
made the Home Town Plea" liv-
ing message and no one should fail
to hear what he has TO say about our
little town of Heppner. The Adel-
phian Male Quartet travel with Mr..
Miller and he is so full of fun that
he keeps the men that compose the
Quartet laughing at his stories, and
he has more Of them than any other
man on the American platform to-
day, and he talks faster than any
record "Maude S" ever made.
The Adelphian Male Quartet, that
give four different programs here,
have been together for over twenty
years and have been called "the best
Quartet that ever came along" by
more cities than any other one quar-
tet, and then their "Old Home Pro-
gramme" you just must hear IL you
are lover of the old songs that nev-
er will die.
Mrs. Fisk, that lady who talks and
at the same time draws the pictures
of "Kweer Karacters I've Known"
has been on the Chautauqua plat
form for 1 s years and has filed more
returns than any other lady enter
tainer, and in her second lecture she
shows you the lives Of the people as
they come to our shores to find new
home and when you have seen the
pictures that she draws right before
you, and then the explanation that
she makes, one really thinks them
selves right down on Ellis Island and
that you seem to see the different ma
tionalities fling down the gang plank
before you.
Those of us who are music lovers
will surely get Square meal" mu-
sically speaking on the days that
Mandel Witepskie brings his world
famed Hungarian Orchestra and then
Miss Bergh, that prim little lady
who made all the critics of Chicago
gasp when they heard her sing, will
give two programs accompanied by
the complete orchestra. Miss La Dell,
that child impersonator, will also be
heard on these two days.
DR.. A. A. Frankie, the Little
Giant" of the platform, will give two
lectures and when you have heard
him you will wonder how any person
could be so full of knowledge on the
subject of the affairs of the world.
Buckner's Jubilee Singers need no
introduction to any one in Heppner
or surrounding country as they gave
us such fine programme last winter
on our Lyceum course.
Senator Burkett of Nebraska, trav-
els with the Jubilee Singers and will
give his matchless lecture on the
Government Ownership of Rail
roads," and he knows this subject
from all angles, having served in
the Congress of this country for six
ten years in all.
