THE CHAUTAUQUA Association Meeting Held Last Night. Work of the Executive Committee Was Approved. A meeting of the Chautauqua association was held last evening in the Commercial club rooms for the purpose of transacting business and ratifying the action of the exectitive committee of different matters. G. W.

Simpson moved to make Dr. J. W. Evans chairman, and it was carried. A.

B. Robison, secretary of the executive committee, acted as secretary. G. W. Cleek made some extended' remarks and moved that the committee go before the city council and ask for any and all concessions they deemed necessary to the good of the session.

This was carried as was also another motion by Mr. Cleek to the effect that the executive committee be empowered to transact all business of the association. On motion G. W. Simpson was elected a director to fill the vacancy caused by the removal of Rev.

Brownlee from the city. That committee now consists of Dr. J. W. Evans, president; A.

B. Robison, secretary; George Dumm, treasurer; A. R. Kinkel, C.M. Loy.

I The executive committee was instructed to appoint any sub-com- mittees it deemed necessary. The season tickets were made non-transferable. This action was considered absolutely necessary for the protection of the association. Season tickets are to be sold at $2.00 for adults, $1.00 for children under 15. Single day admissions will be 40 cents for adults, which will admit to day and evening programs.

M. B. Kerr, who has been connected with the Winfield chautauqua for about 15 years, was present and made a very interesting talk, giving a great amount of useful information in regard to holding such meetings. The Winfield chautauqua is one of the oldest and most successful in the state and as its dates are in June a committee from here will probably attend a few days to get an insight into the workings of these associations. The chautauqua plans are progressing nicely and indications are that it will be a success in every way.

Some of the best attractions in the United States are to be on the program and the admission to many single numbers if they were to appear in the opera house would be 75 cents. Mr. and Mrs. Holtz, of Texas, came in yesterday for a visit with Mr. and Mrs.

Landes, of near Council Grove. Loren and Harold Armsby, who have just completed their sophomore year at the state university, are expected home tomorrow. Wilbur Trembly, son of County Treasurer Trembly, is in from their ranch on Rock Creek today and reports a fine rain in their vicinity. GYP EXPEPT HERE Missouri Pacific Official Examines Our Gypsum and Shale Deposits. Rock Stoddard whose official title is Industrial Field agent for the Missouri Pacific railroad, with headquarters at St.

Louis, was in the city this morning looking at the shale and gypsum deposits in this locality. Mr. Stoddard was very much suprised at the excellent outlook for the development of both those articles here and says the gypsum samples shown him are almost pure and the shale is of unusually good quality and can be manufactured at a profit into the best grade of brick. Mr. Stoddard is employed by the Missouri Pacific for the purpose of investigating just such matters as these and he is an expert on such questions, which makes his opinion of vaue.

He told an Appeal reporter that he can't understand why these deposits have not been developed before and says there will be 110 trouble whatever in interesting capital to erect the proper mills for reducing the gypsum and manufacturing brick. Arrangements are being made now to have the water pumped out of the shaft when Mr. Stoddard and G. A. Johnson, of Blue Rapids, who was here last week, will return and make a thorough examination of the gypsum bed and the surrounding conditions.

The matter will be discussed at the Commercial club meeting Monday night and all our citizens should make it a point to be present. If these deposits are as valuable as these two experts say they are the town should not let them remain undeveloped a day longer than necessary. Miss Huston Married.
