Eleven Separate and Distinct Numbers,
Musicians, Impersonators and Fam

The dates for the second of Clio s
Chautauquas has been fixed, and as be-
fore, we have been very greatly fav-

when, under ordinary circumstances,
the work of harvesting crops will have
been gotten nicely out of the way, and
the warm, golden days just preceding
the autumn will be at hand. The dates
will be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday. August 27-
81, inclusive.
The event is so far in advance that
we are not going to attempt to describe
the various numbers in detail at this
time but we may say that it will be as
follows: The Hoosier Male Quartette,

one of the deepest as well as most
charming lecturers on the American

peal to patriotic citizenship; Swiss AL
pine Yodlers, the very same that have
appeared on the same platform with
Col. VIM. j. Bryan, on the big circuits

We all know the great pleasure tha,

asmuch as it is wholly community af
fair, in which no one seeks or hopes tt
profit personally, it is hoped that every
one will give the committee all the as
sistance in their power, so that the
labor of selling tickets and making
other preparations may be reduced tt
the lowest possible point.
