CHAuTAUQUA WILL
OPEN IN THREE DAYS

Have you bought your Chautauqua
season ticket? II not, why not?
Only three more days remain until
the Chautauqua opens in this city. The
Comus Players are the first attraction
and they will be followed in rapid sue
cession by other standard attractions
that are sure to please.
Season tickets for the ChautauQua
are on sale at most of the stores.
These tickets cost only $3.50. High
school students will be admitted for
$3.50 and children under twelve will
be allowed to pass the gate keeper at
every performance for the price of 81.
There are twenty-six numbers on the
Chautauqua program, which at the
maximum rate for season tickets
makes each number cost about eight
cents, which is one-half the cost of "a
moving picture show, and less than
the price of a good cigar-unless one
smokes Owls. Without a season tick
ct the Chautauqua would cost So for
all the numbers, or IS, twice the price
of season ticket, for the night num-
bers alone. On Saturday noon the
price will advance to SO, so il pays to
buy now, for the early bird gets the
saving.
These tickets are transferable in the
immediate family, so if you cannot get
to all the performances, you can let
;, the other members of the family go to
3 the big brown tops for three hours Of
healthy entertainment.
The principal Streets Of Elko have
stringers OF banners announcing the
coming Of the Chautauqua stars, which
reminds one Of an international fair
city.
Tickets can be purchased at the fol
lowing places: NJ. F. Jukes, Elko
Lumber Co., Henderson Bank, Dupont
Pharmacy, Mayer Hotel, A. w. Hesso1
& Co., l.. ]. Wintermantel, Russell
Company.
Tomorrow, Thursday, June 8, will
be Chautauqua ticket day, when yer
can get a season ticket for $3.50. The
price will positively advsnce to $500
at noon Saturday.
Again we say, have you bought tha
season ticket? If not, do 1t now. Yol
can't afford to miss the New York Cit!
Marine Band, the Kaffir Boys, Sylyes
ter Long, Judge Wanamaker, LoI
Beauchamp and twenty other attrac
tions, all for the price OF one.

Weeks or Burton, or whether they
would attempt to conciliate the Pro-
gressives by choosing man whom the
latter might support. The name of
Justice Hughes is the only one that
has been brought forward so far as
having such possibilities.
Among the rank and file of the Re
publicans there are indications of
enuine effort to draw the PrOgressives
back into the old party. One of these
evidences is the lack of harsh criticism
and bellicOse demonstrations which
characterized the convention period of
1872 The supporters of candidates
Familiarity called favOrite sons are firm
in their arguments, but are inclined
to far greater degree than ordinar-
lily to extoll their candidates without
detracting from others.
Street corner harangues in the in
terest of candidates and the usual par
tisan musical demonstrations have not
been seen.
Because of the fact that Justice
Hughes and Col. Roosevelt occupy
places far in advance of others they
have become the especial subject OF
attack. each by the champions of the
other, and both by the adherents of
the half dozen other men whose names
are being mentioned.

success in an agricultural way. On his
fathers farm in the Caledonia section,

able one. He has an acre planted to
this legume and his crop is estimated
at three tons.
Here is his experience with his pres
ent crop. The land was broken and
sub-soiled, narrowed and then seeded
lite in November. He applied two tons
of barnyard fertilizer on the acre and
during the months of January and Feb
ruary nine head of yearlings and a
bunch of hogs grazed in the patch. He
turned this under the latter part of
March, and planted the land back in
corn on the tenth of May. The clover
crop was estimated at three tons and
the live stock had the advantage of
the legume through two winter months
