CHAUIAUQUA CLOSED.
Fall Short of Guaran tee-Local Men Will Make Up Shortage Program Pleased All Who Attended-Probably Ano- ther Session Next Summer.

The Chautauqua closed Satur- day evening.
 That the people of Springdale want a Chautauqua was clearly shown by the splendid attendance maintained throughout the entire week. The session this year was more of an experiment with the local guarantors. but the program was excellent throughout the en- tire five days. Chautauquas have been held for several wears past in some towns in Arkansas under the White < Myer System. but this was the first session held in Springdale.
 The sale of season tickets a mounted to little over $500. or S150 short of the amount guaran- teed for the session.. When the total expenses and total receipts have been audited 1t is estimated that the local committee will he short about S210 of the necess- ary amount. There are fourteen guarantors. and this will mean q loss Of S15 each, That the guar antors have faith in a Cbautauqua in Springdale is shown bx the fact that almost all of them sign eel the contract for q session here next season.

At gov ernment prices the outfit is valued at S27.90. A recruit in the regu- lar army is allowed about S43.oo worth of clothing, initial allow anee.

We captured eleven prisoners during the night. most of them being fellows that had no passes and tried to slip in. Most of the prisoners drew a S1 fine for their unsuccessful attempt to put anything over on our guards. Being on guard Is strenuous work. and We were allowed the next day without any duty 10 rest ap.
