CHAUTAUQUA CLOSES.

Wausau'S fourth ChautauQua came
to a magnificent closing Sunday, with
a lecture by Lincoln Mcconnell and
the music by the SeXtette of the BOS-
ton Symphony orchestra.
The program of this years Chau-
tauQu is universally admitted to have
been far superior to anything hitherto
offered for with one exception, the
address by Julian @. Hall, on Tuesday
evening, every single offering was far
above the average and offered enter
tanning and educational value.
Stanley Krebs, DR.. Brougher, Ed
ward Trefz and Lincoln Mcconnell
were alone worth the price OF the
season ticket without taking into
consideration such numbers as the
magician, who is the best that ever
showed at Wausau, Williams with his
electrical wonders, the musical num-
bers, and the not to be forgotten
Fairy Woodland Play staged by the
children of Wausau.
While it rained seven out OF eight
days of the Chautauqua, and when not
raining was cold and dreary, never
thelesS, the Chautauqua pleased, and
that people appreciated it was demon
strated by the fact that more than
| five hundred subscribed individually
SUNDAY afternoon and evening to
assure a ChautauQua next year,
Sec'y Schmidt stated TO the audi
ence, and rightly so, that a Chau-
| tauuua in order to be success, must
have the undivided support OF the
| citizens. 1t cannot continue long
| when few of the business men are
| asked to bear the burden and the
| Wausau spirit ought not to let such a
condition into existence. Our big
business men have in the past dis
played very philanthrOpic spirit, for
it is only by their standing together
that the four Chautauquas have been
possible. If however another Chau-
| tauoua is to be held, it will be neces-
sarv for the individual to get back OF
| it himself. Two dollars for a week S
| education and entertainment distrib-
uted over twelve to sixteen programs
| is certainly not much money, and
every man and woman, boy and Cir
of WauSau, ought TO consider 1t
privilege to be enabled to contribute
their mite to make such magnificent
programs as we have offered the past
4 week. possible.
The Chautauqua management Will
in the near future, send out letter
to all citizens and ask them to SUB
/ scribe for their ticket that they eX
pect to use next year, for unless
| thousand tickets are subscribed for II
advance will the management agar
take I'D the burden and worry OF pro
viding another Chautauqua. In GU
opinion there is no doubt but tina
the citizens will back this movement
universally as WauSau has at tn
present time the largest and bes
chautauuua in the state and Ough

: When the letter of the secretar
reaches you, put, in it the number o
, tickets YOU can use for your famll
and return it at once as no seasOl
tickets will be sold next season except

While the books of the ChautauQu
are not entirely completed, and L
