nor MySteriouSIy DiSap-
pears from Home.

Police were Friday continuing
their search for A. ]. Minor, boiler
maker Of 6S8 West Main street, who
mysteriously disappeared from his
home Wednesday. Mr.. Minor had
been in declining health for several

dences of being mentally unbalanced:

his family to this city from Rich
mon, Va, in the hope that the eli
mate would improve his health. Soon
after the absence of Mr.. Minor was
noted his son was sent in search Of
him. The young man caught sight
of his father in a crowd near the
Waldo hotel, but lost trace of his
movements.

Al years of age and five feet ten
inches in height. He has heavy,

Efforts Will Be Put Forth to In
sure Another One for
Next Year.

The Lincoln Chautauqua, when
closed here Thursday evening, is said to
have been by far the most successful
ever held here by the Lincoln Chau-
tauqua Company-that is, successful
from every standpoint. except lnan-
cially for the chautauqua company
splendid programs, splendid music,
splendid readings and lectures, real
feast OF high class inspirational en-
tertainment and education, such as
can only be brought to a city by a
chautauqua.
But without the cooperation OF a
local committee to help sell tickets
distribute advertising matter, provide
accommodation for the entertainers,
arrange for seating, platform, tent
erection, ETC., for which as strangers
the chautauqua's advanced men paid
full prices, the Lincoln Chautauqua
Company has lost money and has de-
cided definitely not to return TO
Clarksburg unless a local committee
is formed to assist in these thlhBs
and to make the chautauqua a real
community affair. Under those cir
cumstances, much larger attend
ance could be secured and the uplitt-
ing influence of the chautauqua
would be more far-reaching.
Friday night q temporary commit
tee was formed but this committee Is
not going to assume the financial re-
sponslbility Of signing the chautau-
qua contract unless a sufficient num-
Der Of our people indicate that they
want the chautauqua by signing
pledges for tickets for the 1917 sea-
son. Pledge cards for something over
200 tickets have already been signed
and there will be meeting Satur-
day evening at 8 o'clock in the par
lors Of the First Methodist Episcopal
church Of chautauqua fans to report
on further efforts and to consider the
proposition Of signing a chautauqua
contract. Eight hundred ticket
pledges should be secured for next
year and this should not be difficult
to do If a EoodlY number Of those In
