The remembrance OF the terrible
scourge Of the FLU last year. when

year? No ore expects Ottawa to 90
into the matter with all the elabora-
tion of the Chicago health depart
ment, but if Chicago has begun the
work, it is at least time to give the
matter thought in Ottawa. The
Chicago Tribune tells Chicagos story,
which might be applied to a greater
or less extent to Ottawa, as condi-
tons warrant:
Chicago will await no covert act"
this year in declaring war against
the influenza epidemic. which prom
ises to recur with added violence in
the late fall and winter

s . Friends in the County -

Mr.. and Mrs. Wilman Tucker and
son, Of Seattle, Wash, arrived in Dem
ison Sunday evening and have been
spending a few days visiting among

view-On Friday evening last another
pioneer and well known citizen, Au.
gust Shultz, passed away at the home
of his sonin.law, Chas. Gronau, after
several weeks illness. During the past
ten days he was failing fast and owing
to his advanced age and nature of his
illness his recovery was not expected.
In his death another prominent and
respected man has been removed from
our midst where he has resided for a
long time.
The deceased was born in Blumhage,
Germany, Jan. IA, 1842, where he re-
sided until 1868, when he came to
America, locating in Clinton county,
where after ? twelve years residence,
came with his family to Crawford

two miles west of Kiron. Last year
his faithful wife and companion pre-
ceded him into the great beyond and

cality, Herman, William, Fred and

Thursday afternoon tie little folks
appeared In their drahSatfe plays The
Magic Piper" which was a clever play
let given under the direction OF Miss
Merle Hume, supervisor Of the junior
chautauqua, in which the little folks
did very. commendable work, and pre-.
sented an enjoyable entertainment.
Miss Mary X. Nelson, a Red Cross
nurse, gave the lecture OF the after.
noon and told incidents and facts con-
cerning the part, played by the nurses
in the war that were amazing to most
Of her hearers. Miss Nelson went to
france shortly after the outbreak Of
the war, at her own expense, and Of
tered her services to that country,
where she served tirelessly and faith
fully. When the United States enter
ed in 1917 she was made supervisor
Of the American Red Cross in France
and later was given charge Of q large
evacuation hospital near Chateau
Thierry, where she remained until the
close Of the war. The accounts Of
the war from the lips Of this heroine,
who was in the midst, OF the Aghting,
were extremely vivid and her audi
ience was given clearer vision and
better understanding Of things as
they really were than ever before.
The closing numbersof the session
was given on Thursday night when
Ralph Bingham, the great humorist,
was present. This number had been
looked forward to from the beginning
with great anticipation and perhaps
our people were lead to expect little
too much and for that reason were
somewhat disappointed in the eve.
ning's program. Mr.. Bingham issa de-
cidedly clever humorist and his mono
logue as the opening number was full
OF clever wit and humor, and kept
his audience in an uprOar of laughter.
Those, however, who had heard his
phonograph records Of negro and Jew
ish dialect were disappointed that
more OF such selections were not CIV
en-, his only dialect reading being a
humorous negro selection, "A Geor-
gia Possum Hunt" He favored his
hearers with two violin numbers that
were very good, and in addition to his
humorous vein displayed his talent
along a dramatic line by giving a
serious number entitled Danny Dee
ver." His wife accompanied him on
the piano in number of selections.
This brought the 1919 chautauqua
to close in this city and the huge
tent and other equipment were soon
packed and on their way to the next
point scheduled for appearance. and
Denisons people will now look forward
to the next years program which
promises to be bigger and better than
ever.

crowd and they witnessed An exhibi-

ball game. The soldiers were not In
a class with the Denison sluggers and
in the first two innings the home gang
put seven runs over the plate and
from then on it was a complete farce.

The big feature OF the game was the,
battery work by "Jaff" and "Nutt" the
long and short OF the soldiers, In the
fifth inning this battery was inserted 3
after the Denison crew had aboutF1uno
themselves to death In the hot sun.
"Jeff" is about 4 foot inches tall, and /
Mutt" was at least s foot 10 inches
tall, and fine battery they made. In
order to arrange their battery signs
"Jeff' had to stand on the catcher'a
mask to talk to Mutt" and then he
only came up to his elbows. The reg
ulation pitchers distance was too far

so he moved the pitchers box up at

ten runs on this famous battery and
