Cashier. one day in the history of Chautauqua she will remember as one of her very successful celebration days. Early in the morning the people from the surrounding country began to ariive and by ten o'clock, when the Peru band arrived the streets and paik were pretty well filled. At eleven o'clock the program was started but on account of the short time in which the program committee had to work the literary program was short. The first number was a declamation by Miss Jennie llessert and her effort was greeted with the applause it deserved.

The Globe, with the rest of Chautauqua's people is proud of Jennie Hessert as an elocu tionist and also of the fact that she never disappoints. No matter how short the notice nor how difficult tbe proposition she is always ready to do her part. On account of the absence of Mr. Nichols, who was to make his address at thi time Rev. Hafner, of the U.

13. church, entertained the audience in a very able talk until the noon hour. After which the audience adjourned to partake of dinner and the barbecued beef, which was pronounced by all who partook, as excellent. Mr. George Cottingham Earl Ault deserve much credit for their work in doing this work so nict-ly.

After dinner Hon. J. E. Brooks spoke for almost an hour, and a better, more patriotic and instructive address has ever been delivered in Chautauqua as that delivered by Mr. Brooks on last Saturday.

After Mr. Brook's address the flag drill by the young ladies was witnessed by the crowd and was pronounced fine by all who saw it. Much credit is due Mrs. O. Allen, for her excellent work in so short a time, in giving this drill.

Following the drill the different contests were taken up and the prizes awarded as follows: The Sack race with five entries was won by Ransom. Jack 1st prize $1 Willie Fitzpatrick 2nd 50 cents and Russel Jack 3rd, 25 cents. The fat baby contest, had seven entries and finer lot of little tots was never seen in Kansas, but' the real contest was between little Gertrude Hessert and Gladys Bruner. They each tipped the scales at 21 pounds, but the Bruner baby scored almost a half ounce more on the con test and won the prize. Grandma Huckstep and A.

Gregory were awarded the spectacles for the oldest people on the ground They were each 79 years old. Mrs. Val Hessert was awarded reid couple. Amos Hackney won the collar for the horse with the largest neck given by S. Lowe.

The money at the top of the pole was captured by Harry Anderson. The ball game at the fair ground between Niotaze and Chautauqua was a decided victory for the former team. Right here we want to say a word for the Peru band. After their home town turned them down and employed an out of town band, our music committee contracted with them as soon as possible. That everyone interested in the success of our celebration owes this committee and the Peru Cornet band their heartiest thanks, is conceded by all.

Tbev not only furnished us the latest and best music, but plenty of it. Never was there a lull in the program 'throughout the day but they were ready without a moments delay to entertain the peopK We have known towns before who had splendid bands of their own to turn them down and send to foreign town for their music and pay as much if not more thn they would their home band. They always seemed to' forget the home band pays out money all the year in order to keep up its music, instruments and other expenses in order that the city may enjoy the benefits, and then at the time the opportunity comes for the boys to get a par. tal return of the money already spent and for the many hours of labor in practice, the city deliberately slaps the boys in the face by paying the money to another band which reghtftilly belongs to them. Peru has a fine band, one of the best in this part of the state and it does not look well to outsiders for the town to turn it down, no matter what the cause may be.

We are in business to stay and although we are not selling at cut or scab prices we will give the people their money's worth the year round and not just when forced to by competition. Harshbarger Son. Mrs. C. R.
