CHAUTAUQUA FEATURE.

The largest and finest accordion III
the world is a part of the equipment
of Achille Bragers, master accordion
list of Belgium, who will appear here
at Chautauqua with the Stone Plat
Bragers trio, the last day.
The instrument is beautiful af-
fair, provided with two piano. key
boards, and of six reed construction,
finished in black and white, with the
word "Bragers" in chrystals at the
top. Interesting incidents surround
ing its-purchase. Himself a native Of
Belgium, and a graduate of the Royal
Conservatory of Brussels, Mr.. Bragers
made a trip to New York to design and
have constructed his new accordion,
just at the time the United States de-
clared war on Germany.
Although still unnaturalized, young
Bragers rushed his papers through,
and entered the army. His knowledge
of five languages, obtained his quick
service at the front in the intelligence
department, and there his strong, clear
voice, and lively airs cheered the
hearts of the doughboys at the front.
His new accordion, however, he was
not able to take with him, and this
summer will see his first summer en-
gagement with the new prize. Dur
ing his stay in the army of occupation,
he was able to locate his aged father,
long since given up as dead. in his
native home of Brussels.
The Stone Platt-Bragers trio are a
group of famous entertainers. YER
non Stone, cousin of Fred Stone, OF
musical comedy fame, Is a cracked
banjoist, famous as member of the
Banjo Fiends," and Miss Electra
Platt is a writer and reader of comic
monologues, as the New York Globe
puts it, she is most original and re-
freshing." Banjo -Accordion-S -Saxo-
phone novelties vocol solos, cigar-box
fiddle novelties, and sparkling eccen-
tries of all kinds will be given by this
clever trio of novelty wizards, the last
afternoon a big joy-nite the last even
ing of chautauqua.

RjANTA DEFEATS
KLAUS FOR SENATE
DOOLITTLE OF DELHI WINS IN
RACE FOR NOMINATION FOR
REPRESENTATIVE.
CUMM1Ns WINS BY SAFE MARGIN
Present County Officers Are Re-Nom-
mated Without Opposition. Light
Is Vote Is Cast.

The Primary election, held on Mon
day, passed off quietly, and when the
votes were counted, two young re-
publicans demonstrated their ability
as vote getters, by defeating number
of the older party leaders. We refer
to Geo. S. Banta, of Milo township,
who defeated his opponent, Hon. S. w.
Klaus, of Earlville, by handsome
majority in both Delaware and Bu-
chanan counties; and Capt. Clyde Doo-
little. of Delhi, defeated L. Matthews,
Sr., and A. d. Long, of Manchester, for
nomination for representative from
this county.
Considerable effort was put forth
by the friends Of United States Sena-
tor A. B. Cummins, with the result
that he carried Delaware County by
handsome margin. State Treasurer
e. II. Hoyt also received handsome
vote in the county. According to the
latest returns this morning, Senator
Cummins will carry the state over his
opponent by approximately 25,OOO.
Out Of the GIL precincts reported,
State Treasurer Hoyt has a total OF
21,689, while his opponent, Burbank,
of Waterloo, has total of 20,699. II
is claimed that Mr.. Hoyt will be the
winner, but that he is not considered
safe until the votes from the entire
state are counted. Religious issues
have been drawn into the fight and
they have clouded the campaign for
this particular state office.
The present county officers We're all
re-nominated without opposition, and
very little interest was manifested IN
election, SO far as county politics was
concerned. The strength of Mr. Ban
ia for state senator became evident
during the last week of the campaign,
and Captain Doolittle's strength pc
came evident on election day.
Be it said to the credit OF the Win
ners as we'll as the losers in the con-
test that the campaign from start TO
to finish was a clean one.
The total vote in Buchanan county
for state senator was as follows;
Banta -------------------- ------------o.. 80.
Klaus -----A--e-s- s----s-.-----------s-o 9 =
-
plurality
The vote in Delaware county, where
contests existed, is given by precincts

TERRY's BIG UNCLE TOMS CABIN
IS COMING,

Announcement is made of the COM
ing of the old favorite and much talk
ed Of play, Uncle Toms Cabin. Many
amusement enterprises have grown
from small companies to two and
three car shows, the Terry company
being one that is found in this class,
having started twenty-eight years ago
with small troup of ten persons
gradually augmenting their attractions
until now they carry fifty people and
are travelling in their own Pullman
cars. Their great success being due
to the fact that the shows manage
ment has always had the energy, push
and honest business dealings, in pre-
senting this mammoth Uncle Toms
Cabin Co. From the day of their be-
ginning with small things, they have
mounted upwards until they now stand
at the top without competitors, and
now Terry's Uncle Toms Cabin is the
household word in many states. The
teachers in the schools, the preachers
from their pulpits, the lecturer from
his platform, fathers and mothers each
and every one encourage the attend
ance of the worlds greatest slave
drama, that Harriet Ward Beecher
Stowe wrote on the colored race. The
Terry company presents this national
drama in its entirety.
Neither expense nor time has been
spared to make the Terry show one OF
the best on the road. Haging
equipped the stage with all necessary
scenic and electrical effects, and the
presenting cast is made up of the very
best dramatic talent that could be Sc
cured, and anyone that witnesses the
production can rest assured that they
will see as complete production as if
it were shown in the larger cities in
the first-class theatres.
The name Terry is guarantee in
itself for whenever this name is found
upon the advertising the people know
what to expect, as their presentation
is true representation of the author S
story. Many imitators have tried to
follow the ways of Terry and want
to know the secret of the wonderful
success. But there is no secret, 1t
is simply the method in which the
shows have been conducted since the
first performance, twenty-eight years
ago.
Special attention has also been CIV
en- to the bands and orchestra this
season. Nothing but the highest class
musicians being engaged for the COM
pany. Terry's concert bands will
give one concert on the main street
at 1880 p. M, big street parade at II
O'Clock, noon, on the day of their ap-
pearance, Saturday, June II. Re-
member Terry's Uncle Toms Cabin
will show one night only at Man
