Obituary
Clair Crosley, son of W. E. and D. D. Crosley, was born March 6 1903 and departed this life at the home of his parents August 25 1905, age 2 years 5 months and 19 days.
Clair possessed a sunshiny disposition. His patient little face with a bright smile will never be forgotten. His funeral was held at Sugar Creek church August 27 by Rev. Dickson. The remains were laid to rest in the Sugar Creek cemetery.
He leaves a father, mother one little brother and a host of friends to deeply mourn his loss.
The golden gates were slowly opened, A gentle voice said softly "come" And freed from thy pain and suffering
Thy angel spirit entered home.
Gone from us but not forgotten, With aching heart we are left behind But the thought that thou art happy
Bids us gently, "be resigned. In Loving Rememberance His MOTHER,.

THE BtSTKCT
Last Night at the ChautauquaNew Singers Today
"I'll guess there are no empty seats in his church when he preaches." "Wasn't it grand?" "Superb!" "Delightful!" were some of the expressions heard as the audience filed out of the Chautauqua last night. They referred to the matchlesslecture they had just listened to on "Day Dreams" by L. B. Wickersham.
The finest audience of the season was out last night and every foot of space in the big tent was occupied. The Dixie Jubilee singers gave their last concert and received an ovation, the people all but refusing to permit them to leave the stage. As a compromise they returned and chanted the Lord's Prayer, s:
It was exactly eight o'clock when Mr. Wickersham was introduced to the assembly. He took advantage of the occasion to tell the public of the great work the ladies of the city and Mr. Harmon had done for the people of Greenfield in bringing the best talent in the United States to the Assembly.
It did not take many minutes for the people to know they were going to receive a treat and as the seconds passed the interest in the speaker and his subject grew greater and before he had talked ten minutes the big assemblage was as silent as the tomb, only the sputtering of a dying electric lamp interrupting the smooth and rhetorical gems that flowed like a stream from the lips of the eloquent lecturer and even this lamp was stilled and the silence continued interrupted occasionally at first by outbursts of applause that the speaker requested should cease. He believes that the dreams all youths have is their calling in life and if allowed to follow them success will come. Mr. Wickersham is a great lecturer. His subject was a popular one and he was able to tell it. The evening was 4 one of the very best of the series and the men who are to follow him will be at a disadvantage, even though they do measure up to his standard and occupy equal prominence in their particular lines. The lecture closed at 9:30.
Today the Wesleyan Male Quartette came, succeeding the Dixies. These singers are famous the country over and rank as the best in the land. The quartette is composed of young men and will occupy the whole evening in a concert that will no doubt again fill the tabernacle to its capacity, for to appreciate them in their work you must hear them. They will please because they please wherever they go. Music lovers will look forward with pleasure to the entertainments that will be given by these young men while in this city.
Tomorrow afternoon will be of the greatest of the lectwhen Ash Davis comes
with his clay molding, character sketches, etc,» and tomorrow evening the Katherine ErtzBowden Company will give the Pictorial ^Representation of Hiawatha.
Several messages came into the STAR office from the Chautauqua grounds this afternoon, since the Wesleyan Quartette gave their ogening concert, all praising the singers. "We thought the Dixies great but the Wesleyans are greater. Tell the people about it," was one en thusiastic message.

Dan Patch at the State Pair.
Every man, woman and child in the state of Indiana has heard of Dan Patch, 1:56, the world's champion pacer, that has been engaged to pace an exhibition mile at the State Fair on Wednesday, Sept. 13. It is very fitting that this wonderful speeder should be selected as the principal attraction for an Indiana State Fair, as he is an Indiana horse, notwithstanding that his present owner, M. W. Savage, of Minneapolis, does not reside in the Hoosier state. Mr. Savage pur chased Dan Patch from Dan R. Hessner Jr., of Oxford, Indiana, who bred and raised the fast horse, but no money could purchase him from Mr. Savage. At the time the sale was made by Mr. Messner it was predicted that Dan Patch would be the world's champion pacer, and these predictions came true in a more sensational manner than was expected.
Dan Patch was foaled in 1896 on Mr. Messner's stock farm near Oxford, Indiana. He is by Joe Patchen and his dam was Zelica by Wilkesberry and granddam Abdallah Belle, the dam of Colette, 2:19^. Dan Patch's sire, Joe Patchen was by Patchen Wilkes, dam Josephine Young, 2:01^. Dan Patch showed remarkable speed when owned by Mr. Messner and after being purchased by Mr Savage the latter had him especially prepared for speed and on October 26, 1904, at Memphis he crowned all his efforts by pacing a mile in 1:56. A few days before that he paced a mile on the same track in l:56i. A".,
This is the horse so well known in Indiana in whom the people of the Hoosier state take such a great interest and which they will have a chance to see in action at the coming State Fair.
