Sedgwick Chautauqua
FSsfs XXX S:s:::
Draws Large Crowds
Fxf xxx }:s:s.;
Decidedly Good BIZ

Quite number frsM yulesburg at
tended the chautauqua at Sedgwick k
last Sunday. John Mellen and Mrs.
Myrtle Reed of this city delivered
splendid addresses at the patriotic
services held in the chautauqua tent
Sunday morning, and We have heard
numerous favorable comments upou
this part of the program.
Mr.. Mellen's address was on Pa
triotism, and he did the subject full
justice, his speech being a most i'm
presslve one, and an inspiration to
all who heard him. In Mr.. Mellen,
Julesburg has real orator, and while
he doesn't profess to be such, he is
certainly adapted along this line. Mr..
Mellen's address at Sedgwick last Sun
day morning will long be remembered
by all who had the pleasure of hear
ing him.
Mrs. Myrtle Reed has taken more
than ordinary interest in the Red
Cross work. she being secretary of
the Sedgwick County Red Cross
Chapter. Mrs. Reeds address at the
Patriotic meeting last Sunday morn
ing dealt principally with the work of
the Red Cross, and her talk was 4
most interesting one: Like Mr.. Mel
len, she indeed did full justice to her
subject. She has done untiring work
for the Red Cross and is very capa
BILE of speaking on this most worthy
cause.
Special music was rendered at the
Patriotic meeting. the chorus being
led by Mrs. Vance McKinstry. Mrs.
Max Mailer sang 4 solo which was a
pleasing feature and the beautiful
flag drill by the children under the
direction of Mrs. J. M. Fulton, was
well executed.
The Patriotic meeting was a huge
success and an appropriate curtain
raiser for Sedgwick's chsutauqua,
which commenced Sunday and has
been in progress this week. At the
meeting Sunday morning 4 collection
was taken for the Red Cross and the
neat sum Of 1896 was raised.
Sunday afternoon and evening the
Dearborn Concert Party held forth on
the chautauqua program and they
rendered a very pleasing program.

Serious Charge In the
x%F xxx kxS;
County Court Tuesday

In an action brought in county
court. wherein the People were plain
tiff and Ed Jackson of Sedgwick, de-
fendant, the case was tried before
County Judge G. H. Austin last Tues
day.
Jackson was charged with the vio-
lation of the liquor law. District At
torney Robt. NJ. Work and Deputy
Dist. Attorney C. NJ. Robson repre-
sented the People and Attorney Roy
I. johnson handled the case for the
defendant. There were four cases
against Jackson, all of them being
tried at the same time.
The morning was devoted to secur-
ing jury to try the cases, and evil
dence was not heard until in the af-
ternoon. The evidence of the prose-
cution was not very strong. The
case went to the jury about $3.50,
and after being out only a short time
brought in verdict of mot Guilty"
There are also four cases each of
the same nature against Fred Meme
ke. Jr. and John Sincock, both resi-
dents of Sedgwick, which were expect
ed to come up for trial at this time,
but upon motion of the District At
torney were set for trial at the Octo-
Der term of county court.

CASES OF SMALL
POX RAGING AT CHAPPELL

For the past several days there
have been q number of cases of small
pox reported. Tuesday pest house
was erected by the county south of
town and . number have been placed
there for care. There are other cases
reported in homes about town. AS
to the exact number of cases, we are
unable to learn. 1t is evident that all
care and precaution possible should
be taken in order to stamp out the
disease and prevent its scattering.
No doubt within few days there
will be more definite information
available. Until this time it appears
to be on the safe side by being care

other days celebration, forty miles
away. We drove through cowpaths
and large wheat and corn fields 1t
may seem strange when l say "thru
the fields" but that is the case for the
fields are very large and good roads
run through them
1t will sure be some country to drive
through in about thirty days, as the
wheat will then be in the shock. The
view will present variety of crops
large pastures, big wheat fields, a fair
showing of corn and some patriotic
fields. Can you picture greater pros

sAips these people have gone through.
| We drove forty miles in comfort
and pleasure. We witnessed q real
western roundup, Of the rough-rider
style-steer-roping and steer riding.
I must say that it was throughly en-
joyed by one who never saw anything
Of the kind, except under canvass.
Here they had plenty of room to show
the real life of the bonafide cowboy.
They would take their life in their
hands, mount long horned steer and
throw him while running at full speed.
But l noticed that the rider knew that
bull fighting was prohibited by law,
as they always gave the steer the
right of way. when he got up. saw
one who had thrown his steer, go over
a high barbed wire fence into a auto
mobile windshield.
We started on our forty mile return
trip, everything going fine until we
got to cowpaths about four miles from
any telephone, when our Ford engine
refused to bring our car any further.
You may imagine the conditions. But
by chance young man with beauti-
full Colorado girl came along in their
car and consented to haul us eleven
miles to Ford hospital.
As we will get about all the alfalfa
harvested in this locality this week,
we expect to go to Denver for few
days to attend the picture shows, after
which we will 60 to the wheat fields
Of Kansas. where l understand labor
is scarce. If wages are good will

Various Committees Now Busy
Making Arrangements for
Prizes, Exhibits and the
Other Features

A meeting was held last Thursday
evening in the county court room,
the various committees of the Sedg-
wick County Fair being present to
discuss plans for the coming event.
The first matter of importance that
was brought up and discussed, was
the positive dates for the holding of
the fair. The tentative dates previ-
ously set were agreed upon, and the
fair will positively be held Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, September 6, z
and 8. The matter of finance was
and the different commit
tees made reports as to how much
money would be required by them to
carry on their part of the work.
All present seemed to be of the
opinion that an aeroplane should be
secured rs the main attraction, and
the executive committee is now cor
with several companies
with . view Of securing an attraction
of this nature. Many other attrac-
tions will also be secured.
No doubt . suitable amount will
be given by the county commissioners
for prizes, etc., in the exhibit depart
ment, and there is no reason why we
should not have q splendid agricul-
tural and stock exhibit at the Sedg-
wick County Fair next month. The
exhibit committee will appreciate the
cooperation Of all the citizens of the
county in helping to make the exhib-
its 4 grand success. Never in the his
tory Of the county has there been
such an opportunity to show our pro-
ducts, As crop conditions are exceed
ingly good. Let's make the exhibits

There viii be plenty of horse races
and the committee in charge of this
is busy making plans
along this line. Good purses will be
offered, and lovers Of good races will
have an opportunity of seeing them
at the Sedgwick County Fair. There
also will be street sports, including
small boys races, fat mans races,
races, etc., and suitable
prizes will be awarded in this line

NEW ELEVATOR IS
NOW OPERATING

NEW BUILDING is A FINE
STRUCTURE FOR PURPOSE
Elevator Starts Business Opera.
ITEMS this Week-WiIi BE a
Great Benefit to Jules
burg and Country

The new grain elevator of The
Julesburg Cooperative Grain Co. has
been completed this week, and thus
another spoke has been added to the
wheels of progress in our thriving
little city. The new institution is re-
garded as big asset to this commu-
nifty. The company is now receiving
grain and doing general grain, coal
and feed business
s. NJ. Beadle, who has been given
the management of the business, is
man who has had years of exper
lence in this line, and should be .
big factor in making the new enter
prise big success. Mr.. Beadle 10
now in charge of the business, and
although q comparative stranger in
this section, having come here only re-
Gently. is making friends and acquain-
tances by the scores.
The new elevator is a structure Of
big proportions, q steel clad building,
has $4,000 bushel capacity, and il
equipped with electric power through
out. The building and machinery are
modern in every particular. In ad-
dition to the grain and feed business,
the company will do general coal
business. and large sheds have been
built for this purpose. The grade has
been put in for spur switch track
from the Union Pacific, which will
soon be constructed which will lead
up to the elevator and coal sheds.
w. c. Bailey Of Omaha was the con-
tractor who built the new elevator,
this same contractor now being sn-
9agsd in conYtructing :ln elevator at
Ovid.
About 5000. 90 worth of stock has
been subscribed in stock Of The Jules
burg Cooperative Grain Co., and the
company no doubt will be one of the
leading factors in aiding the progress
of this community. Manager Beadle
informs US that all persons are invit-
ed to call and inspect to new elevator,
and get acquainted. Elsewhere in this
