of next week under the management
of the Nauvoo Civic league ladies ana
promises TO be one OF the best ever
held in this section. No doubt the
attendance will be the largest OF any
chautauQua ever held anywhere In
Nauvoo's vicinity because the league
ladies have generously consented to
turn over the profits to the Red
Cross order. The program to be pre-"
scented at the Nauvoo chautauqua Is
an excellent one and well worth
going miles to see and hear. The
large tent will be hoisted on the sec
ond ward school house grounds, the
former location which is only block
and a half from Nauvoos main bust
ness section. Remember the Nauvoo
chautauqua begins on Tuesday after
noon of next week, July "a, and con-
tinues until July 20, inclusive.

Next Saturday the High Tension
club members will visit Nauvoo for
their annual outing and picnic in
Nauvoo. They will come up the lake
from Keokuk on the steamer Sidney
and hold their amusements on the
Kimball grounds near the foot of
Knight street. The club management
has generously invited the people OF
Nauvoo to be present and enjoy the
festivities.
Rumor has 1t now that the An
heuser-Bush company of st. Louis Is
going to start wholesale beer depot
in Nauvoo and that people of Maui
VOC and vicinity can purchase case
of bottled beer for $500. 1t is said
that it will be a sure go and that the
location has been selected in the
city. There are numerous places
about Nauvoo that are especially
adapted for that purpose, but we
were unable to learn what locality
and building they have decided upon.
Mrs. Carrie Gross of Nauvoo who
was called to Hannibal, Mo-, by the
serious illness of her sister last
week, sent word last Saturday that
her relative had died. Her son, Theo-
dore, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gross, Mrs.
John Gross and Mrs. Henry Argast
went down to Hannibal last Satur-
day night to attend the funeral which
occurred Sunday.
Southern watermelons have been
in Nauvoo's market since last week
and sold at cents the pound. We
noticed that there are few million
aires in Nauvoo that the high cost
ofsiYving does not affect in the least.
They were seen carrying some of
these melons to their homes.
wondered what this town would do
without the popular Blair White Col
lar line that runs from Quincy, Keo-
kuk and Nauvoo to Burlington and
then proceeds on to Davenport and
Rock Island. r 1t is a great convent
ence to Nauvoo merchants in the
transportation OF freight and our
travelling public when they want to
visit the outside world. This COM
pany's officials and employees are al
ways courteous and accommodating,
which makes this steamer SO popular
With Nauvoo people and the travel
ing public. Never in the history Of
Nauvoo has a steamboat line handled
as much freight for town the size
of this city as has the Helen Blair
and Keokuk this season. With no
railroad entering NauVoo, THIS line or
steamers Is great convenience to
Nauvoo's merchants.
Last Saturday night the business
street Of Nauvoo was again crowded
with people and autos, and business
was good among our merchants. The
early closing hour of $50 of the
saloons celared our, streets of the
autos and women in the summer gar
deh and wine rooms were conspicu-
GUS by their absence. This $3.50
o'clock closing is going to reduce the
percentage of the cash registers in
our wet goods emporiums consider
able.
