Klflgtnao Ice A Cream err Co. ed. a FOR CHAUTAUQUA THE KINGMAN CHAUTAUQUA IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN ON JULY 19.

Joint Debate Between Henry J. Allen and Ex-Congressman Chas. F. Scott to Be Big Feature. Advance information received tail week by L.

F. Waiter lroin Mr. Horner, manager of the Redpatfc- Horner chautauquas, indicates that plans for a big event at Kingman' this summer are now about prepar The program is practically com pleted though not yet announced i full. The date of beginning for th Kingman Chautauqua is set for Saturday July 19. This is a little later than the date last year.

Saturday, however, is a good day to begin tho week's program and ought to insurt good attendance from the first day. This arrangmetit will also obviate the necessity of closing or Sunday thereby avoiding considerable Sunday work which heretofor has been practically unavoidable- The big attraction of the Chautauqua according to the opinion of Mr. Horner will be the joint debate between Henry J. Allen, editor or the Wichita Beacon and Ex-Congress man I- Mr. Allen in addition to being one of the smoothest tongued orators of Kansas is also one of the arch leaders of the But Moose movement.

Congressman Scott, on the other hand, is the sturdiest of Standpatters, and is also a mar of no mean ability and reputation. A pitched battle between these champions under the "catch as catch can rules would certainly be interesting to Democrats at least. The Redpath-Horner management have contracted with these parties for a series of some thirty debates during the summer months. Another big feature to be is Senator Frank J. Cannon.

The Chautauqua tickets are here, and the campaign of advertising nad ticket selling will soon be on. As more complete Information In regard to the talent is given out the Journal win be pleased to make note of the same. 0 FROM THE ROYAL NEIGHBOR OF BELMONT I The Belmont Royal Neighbor!

Long Richtrdioft OVER EIGHTY ODD FELLOWS AND REBEKAHS FROM KING MAN ATTEND CELEBRATION Kinsman Band One of the Features of the Day Kingman and Pratt Only Ones to Meet Expectations. Over eighty tickets to Cheney -were sold here last Friday morning to Odd Fellows and Rebekahs who attended the Wildey association and celebration of the 94th anniversary of Odd Fellowship in America. The three special trains carrying over one thousand delegates arrived in Cheney between 11 and 1 o'clock. One train came from Kiowa, another from Winfield and Wichita and the third from Pratt and Kingman, pick Jug up Odd Fellows and Rebekahs all along the line. The Kingman band accompanied the Kingman delegation and furnished some mighty fine ma sic under the direction of Russel Branden.

The different churches of the city furnished meals for the crowd. Immediately after dinner a band concert was given at the City hall by the Kingman bandwhich was followed by the Odd Fellow's parade headed by the band and school children, and followed by a long line of decorated cars. After this the regular program for the afternoon was given at the city hall. The address of welcome was made by their honored townsman, J. I.

Saunders. In this he remembered the Kingman lodge which stood loyally behind them in helping to bear some of the expenso of entertaining the crowd, and for furnishing the band. His address was responded to by C. II. McBrayer of Kiowa, Grand Past Master of the I.

O. O. F. order and by Mrs. Callie Hagan of Newton of the Rebekah order.

The oration of the day was given Rev. C. A. Finch, minister of the First Christian church of Topeka and also Grand Chaplain of Topeka. Ho spoke on the value of Odd Fellowship taking for his theme the three links.

Friendship, Love and Truth. Rev. Finch was at one time pastor of the church in Cheney and a member of their lodge which made hia visit Friday a most pleasant one both for him and the citizens of Cheney during the afternoon was furnished by a chorus of Cheney. The entire day was a splendid suc cess in 6plte of the Inclement weather and Cheney certainly put forth every effort to be loyal to the visitors. The crowd fell short about half of what had been counted on thus making quite a loss to the Cheney lodge fo- the special trains, they having had to put up $700 to get the.

three trains for the day. The Pratt special was the only one which carried passengers enough to bear the expenses of the train. As there will be a change made in the district before another year It was not decided where the next meet Ins will be held, and likely it will not be known until after a meeting of the officers next fall. BAPTIST CHURCH Tho subject of tbo sermon at the Baptist church next Sunday morning; will bo, "Tho Eagle's Nost," and In tho evening, "The Second Coming of Christ."
