chautauqua Season Had Brilliant Opening-rook $35,7s4 to Run Schools Last Year Exemption Board Receives Further Instructions


 The Chautauqua season here opened brilliantly Wednesday afternoon. It was with Joyous satisfaction that the guarantors and others interested were able to announce the most successful opening of any of the Chautauqua people were in the big tent on High School field Wednesday afternoon for the first of the course of entertain ments and in the evening a capacity audience greeted the entertainers.
 The features Wednesday were the concerts by the Chicago Musical club, an organization of exceptionally tal- ented people, and the lecture by Bob Seeds of Birmingham, Pa. one of the funniest men on any Chautauqua cir cult.
 Gross Cost $35,784 to Run Schools. Figures compiled in the office of the secretary of the town school commit tee, Attorney Charles L. Torrey, show that the gross cost of schools in the town of Putnam for the school year that closed last month was $35.7S4. Last year the gross cost of schools here was $30,2
 While the net cost of the schools for the past year has not been definitely figured as yet, it Is expected to be from s25.000 to s26, 900. Nearly s10,0O0 will be derived from the town from sums allowed by the state for the support of schools, from the grant from the state toward meeting the cost of school su- pervision, from tuition from out of town pupils in the high school, from the library and evening school grants allowed by the state.
 The increase in the cost of schools this year is due, among other reasons, to the increase in teachers salaries to the additional expense of maintaining an evening school and to increase In cost of supplies used in the schools.

Strike OF Niles MoIderS
Continues.

The strike of the molders of the
Niles plant still continues and the
men are all out and expect to re-
main out until that foundry is com
pletely organized. All of the men
except twenty when the strike oc.
cured were members of the Mol
ders' Union and since the strike
about twelve of this number have
become members. Seven still re-
main out bat it is expected that
they will in a short time become
members alse. Meeting were held
by the molders who were not mem
bers for creating sentiment against
the Molders' Union, but they all
fell fat and the results are that
these men are getting in line. One
molder absolutely refuses to join
the union on account of his relig-
ious belief and the officers will no
doubt consider his case.

repeated complaints against the

newspaper in the Mooney case.
1t is with distinct shock :"

While the statements of both
sides to the controversy should be
accepted with reservation, in
knowledge Of the exceedingly bitter
war that is being waged in that city
between organized capital and or
ganized labor, it does seem remark
able that such "A trial with such
sweeping charges should have oc-
cured without the country knowing
scarcely anything about 1t. Now
one of the main witnesses for the

bribed, or at any rate an attempt

to which no satisfactory reply has
been made. At any rate, the
charges of frame up are positive
and sweeping enough that one feels
that justice will miscarry If these

great body of damning charges
made by the labor people should
then be thoroughly sifted.
