SUMMER CHAUTAUQUA.

The person who misses th Summer Chautauqua will miss one of the greatest entertain inents ever given in Greenfield. Every entertainment on the program is of a high class. All the talent is such as is rarely secured in cities of the size of Greenfield. Only a summer Chautauqua or a similar organization could secure so* much high classed talent for one entertainment. Greenfield people will confer honor upon themselves by a liberal patronage of an entertainment of such rare excellence. It should not, however, be necessary to appeal to local pride to secure support of the enterprise for the reason that the entertainment is worth many times the price charged.

STATE FAIR TRANSPORTATION.

What Steam and Electric Roads Will Do for Visitors the Week of September II.

Visitors from over Indiana to the State Fair, which opens at Indianapolis on September 11, will find that the steam nnd electric roads to that city have arranged for fine transportation facilities. The rate on the steam roods will be one fair for the

trip, good all the week,

vrom all points in the State and from Louisville, Ky. When visitors reach Indianapolis, they can take' their choice of three fast lines from the city to the iair grounds, the Illinois street, Central avenue or College avenue. As crowds require it, cars over the city lines will Arrive at the gates about a minute apart. All the interurban. lines running into Indianapolis will have special cars in operation. {.The steam roads will hold their evening trains later than the usual hour that visitors may put in a full day at the lair and reach their homes in distant parts of Indiana without inconvenience on the same evening. Two electric lines, the Indianapolis & Northern and the Union Traction, pass close to the fair ground gates, where they will unload and take on passengers, and the Lake Erie & Western and M' non tracks also run by the grounds. It is thought that the good transportation facilities, the low railroad rates and the big exposition will draw an immense crowd of Indiana people to the Hoosier capital.

WITH THE SECRET SOCIETIES

Notes of Interest to Members of Different Ordets.

The Modern Woodmen of America adopted a plan for social enjoyment some time ago that has proved a decided success. They give a social every two weeks at the home of some member of the order where they have numerous good things to eat and enjoyable evenings in general. The plan has a

Captain Jasper Glascock is in command of a splendid com pany of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias. The men all take an interest in their drills and are in sympathy with the work of their captain.

The Red Men of this city and county will be pleased to learn that the next meeting of the Great Council of Indiana will be held in Tomlinson Hall, Indianapolis. This is due to the fact that the Grand Lodge of Masons will use the Masonic Hall on the date of the meeting cf the Red Men.

It may be a matter of interest to Haymakers of this Haytield to know that C. A. Robinson yesterday received a letter from Bingliamton, N.

This is the largest Hayloft in the world and can certainly be recommended as headquarters for the best quality of hay. To assist them in the future they ordered a numbepof Mr. Robinson's new book, "Makin' Hay.

KIND

CRIME

[Criminal.]

"This yore easo

SOLiey

The lawyer. Mr. Ilomor Ilobson. youn man employed by a reputable law firm, was sent out to conduct the case of Wharton versus Wharton, the firm supposing that regular court would be held. When Mr. Ilobson arrived hewas somewhat disappointed to liuu tliat Judge Lynch was on the bench. It was too late to withdraw, and he proceeded to attend to Wharton's interests as best he could. Mrs. Wharton was the only woman in court, a very good looking person, with an honest countenance. She needed no lawyer, for she had the entire sympathy of every one present. Mr. Ilobson called tlie first witness for the plaintiff, Wharton's partner. Tom Olough, and proceeded to examine him. "Where were you on the night of the »0th of June?" "Walkin* down by the creek." "State what you saw on that occasion." "I seen the defendant and the corespondent"— "See here, Tom Clough," the judge Interrupted, "you been talkin' to the lawyer." "How do you know?" asked Clough, not being sure whether or no he had a right to do so. "What's a corespondent?" asked the judge to try him. "The woman in the case." "All right, go on. Reckon y' know more about law than I thought." "Waal, I seen them two'sittln' on a rock, with their arms around each other's neck." "See anything more?" "No." "Judge," Mr. I-Iobson explained, "it's customary for the plaintiff's attorney to examine his own witnesses." "D'y" mean to say." replied the judge, scowling "that you intend to 'nopolize ail the witnesses in this yere caseV'

The attorney attempted to explain, but the court would not listen. "Call the first witness fer the ill treated woman," he cried, rapping with a billet of wood on the pine table before him. The witness was the corespondent, John Root. He was directed by the judge to tell what he knew about the case. "On the night of the 10th o' June," he said, "I was a-walldn' down by the creek and I seen Tom Clough sittin' on a rock with Cy Wharton's wife. He was a-trying' to kiss her, but she give him a slap in the jaw." "Your honor," protested the lawyer, "this is inadmissible. In a case of crlm con"— "This ain't no case o' erim con it's a divorce case," snapped the judge. The lawyer gave it up and sat down. The judge finished his remarks. "I don't, see why John Hoot's word ain't as good as Tom Clough's. Cy Wharton, what you got t' say agin your wife?" "I object," said the lawyer, starting up. "Waal, you jist keep on objectin'," replied the judge, drawing a revolver from his belt and laying it on the table. "Now, Wharton," cried the lawyer, "remember you are not obliged to say anything to criminate yourself." "Not obliged to say anything to criminate hisself!" roared the judge. "See here, young feller, you may know a lot about law. but not as it is practiced in Excelsior. The witness is sworn to tell the truth and the hull truth. What y' got to say to that? Cy Wharton, is this a put up job agin your sufferin' wife or not?" "Waal, judge," replied the plaintiff, with a hangdog look, "I been thinkin' maybe it's a put up job." "Who put it up?" "Waal, judge, I foun' a letter this mornin' from my pardner, Tom Clough, to my wife beggin' her to run away with him. Reckon he's got the answer. Ef she consented she's guilty o' this yere crime and not me, Ef sfte didn't I'm the guilty one." "Tom Clough," said the judge, cofcklng*his revolver, "the court wants that letter."

Clough hesitated but, unfortunately for him, he had the letter ifi his pocket and knew he would be searched. He had no choice but to produce it. The court scanned it, then read it aloud: "I want you to understand that there ain't no use your t'oolin' round me no longer. I love my husband and children too well to have any use fer a galoot like you."

The jury, without retiring, found a verdict as follows: "In this yere crime o' divorce neither husband nor wife lies been found criminal. The real criminal is Tom Clough, who put up the job. The verdic' of the lury is thet Tom Clough is a infernal rascal, and Excelsior lies no more use fer him." "Tom Clough," said the judge, "the sentence of the court is thet any one guilty of a crime thet separates hus ban' and wife and makes little children to suffer, whether it's the husban', the wife, the woman in the case or the corespondent, had better git up and git out o' Excelsior, with twentyfour hours to sell out and settle up.

The September "Smart Set.

Moll}* Elliot Seaweil's novelette, "The Chateau of Montplasir," which opens the September Smart Set, is just the kind of story one wishes to read in the warm weather. It is delightful!}* humorous from beginning to end, and, while some of the situations are hilariously laughable, the author never oversteps the bounds of probability. Those readers who remember Miss Seaweil's "Papa Bouchard"—and who does not? which the same magazine published about four years ago, know what a pleasant hour is in store for them in this last piece of work. Miss Seawell has never given us a more rollicking and genuinely witty story, nor one so full of the very spirit of comedy.

Stephen French Whitman, who contributes a powerful short story called "Hashimoto" to this number, is a name quite new to magazine readers yet this brief and vivid Japanese tale should win him many admirers. It is a long time since a more striking short story has appeared. Elizabeth Duer is always entertaining in "The Man on Horseback" she is at her best, and every reader will be quick to discover what famous person she had in mind when she wrotethis little tale. "Studio Sweepings" by James L. Ford, is one of the keenest satires on bohemian New York which this clever author has produced. James Huneker is represented by a remarkable short story, which he has entitlec Eighth Deadly Sin," and Sydnor Harrison, in Measure of His (Ireatness," tells another Ware River Club tale, full of cleverness and truth. Frederick Trevor Hill, Ruth Kimball Gardiner, Catalitia Paez and Cecil Carlisle Pangman have stories of refreshing originality, while Kate Masterson contributes a short, entertaining story, called "The Masque of Venus,'' wherein she places under a white light many feminine foibles. There is the usual story in French, and much meritorious verse by Wallace Irwin, Mabel Earle, Tbeodosia Garrison, Edith M. Thomas, Madison Cawein, Arthur String er, William Griffith and others equally as well known. How the Smart Set maintains its high standard of excellence each month is one of the wonders of the magazine world.

BIG BAND AT STATE FAIR

J. S. Duss, Millionaire Bandmaster to Give Concerts

For several years the Indiana State Fair has had as a strong feature one of the big band organizations tor a series of concerts, and thousands of people heard the programs. A new band is coming to the State Fair during the week of September 11th, and it will give four popular concerts at the grand stand. The bandmaster is J. S. Duss, who has suddenly leaped into the place of one of the great conductors of America and he has a band of about fifty men. Duss is a millionaire, who directs his own band chiefly be cause of his love of the work. He has had an uncommon career. Early in his youth he went to Economy, Pa., the famous communistic town near Pittsburg, and spent several years with the Harmony Society there, as the mutual ownership organization was called. He later went to college, was a breeder of tine cattle in Nebraska, and went back to the peculiar colony in Pennsylvani When thirty years old he had become a trustee of the colony, which was gradually becoming extinct because of its stringent laws. He rose to the financial head of the colony and soon straightened out the difficulties of a savings bank in the organization, paying the J.5oO depositors in full. He also saw that the colony's debts, amounting to $1,500,000. wese paid in full. He went through eight years of litigation in the courts over the property of the colony and finally won. Then he sold out his holdings and turned his attention to organizing one of the greatest bands America ever heard. The programs at the State Fair will be made up of popular music.
