Chautauqua Assembly of Ten pays Begins August 10th—W. J. Bryan and H. W. Sears On Program—Best in 10 Years
Shelbyville is to have a Chautauqua assembly for ten consecutive days, beginning August 10th. The assembly will be in the fair ground. The program committee is composed of Rev. R. E. North, Dr. Morris Drake and P. G. Kamp.
William J. Bryan will address the people.on Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 13th at 2:30 o'clock. Dr. H. W. Sears delivers his lecture on "More Taffy and Less Epitaphy." This lecture is .said to be the finest and funniest lecture given by any humorist in the country.
The Hiawatha Indians will camp at the Chautauqua during all the ten days' session and will be one of the attractions. The program is a strong one from beginning to end, and will be well worth the price of the tickets.
A Great Ball Player.
Harry Cone was in Columbus. on Tuesday afternoon and played a game of ball with the merchants against the clerks, the merchants winning 18 to 4. Cone played short stop, and was just about the whole show. He made but one error and handled six assists so fast that, the manager of the clerks' team protested his playing on the grounds that he was a professional. He was at bat four times and struck out once. He cracked out three hits, one being a home run, the other three were trips to the plate. Today he is hardly able to get around. We understand President Myers, of the Indianapolis team, had a representative here trying to hire Cone. Harry says/ that he wants faster company than the Indians with which to travel, and did not accept the big offer—Shelbyville Republican.
Like the editor of the Shelbyville Republican, Mr. Cone was formerly a Greenfield man, and that fact to the credit of anyone will account for a great many successes and unusual ability in any given line.
At Bethany Park.
Word from Bethany Park is to the effect that the Greenfield people are enjoying themselves to the fullest extent. The grounds are beautiful this year. The assembly begins today. Fishing there is very good at present, John Orr, Jr., wears the belt so far, his latest catch being a 1% and a 1% bass, with several sunfish. The weather there has been very warm, with plenty of rain. 0-7^-

MAY PROVE FATAL.
When Will Greenfield People Learn the Importance of It?
Backache is only a simple thing at first But if you find 'tis from the kidneys
That serious kidney troubles may follow That dropsy or Bright's disease may be the fatal end,
You will be glad to know the following experience. 'Tis the statement of a Greenfield citizen.
Mrs. Mary Savage, of East Main street, Greenfield, Indiana, says: "I have the utmost confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills, having used them with satisfactory results. I was subject to attacks of kidney complaint for five or six years, and recently my condition became worse My back was lame and ached ax great deal, and I had other difficulties which proved my kidneys were at fault. On a neighbor's advice, I procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at Quigley's Drug Store and they proved so beneficial from the first that I continued taking them. The contents of four boxes entirely relieved the pain in my back and restored my kidneys to a normal condition. I know that Doan's Kidney Pills are an effective kidney medicine, and am therefore pleased to recommend them."

Would Go To Town Anyway. The Marion County Mail says: A man was condemning real estate dealers last week, claiming that they are responsible for high prices because they boosted land values. He also said too many farmers are moving to town. The present high price of land offers an inducement to the owners to sell and buy some cheaper land elsewhere but no matter what the price of land is, the farmers will move to town.
Moses tried to tie the farmers to the land by allotting it in small tracts by lot to the early settlers, and taking away from them the power to sell it except up to the year of jubilee, the fiftieth year and still they went to town, and theland went to ruin. The Romans entered upon a brand-new country, tilled it for a while, and then they went to town, and Rome fell. Man's best development is found in the country but he will go to town. The cities themselves would perish were it not for the drift of fresh blood into them. The townspeople will not go back to the farm. If we were to divide up the land in Indiana today among the people of the towns and the country, and give each of them a farm, the town people wouldn't stay on the farm. As a matter of fact, most of them could not make a living on the farm.
William Scott, wife and son, of Oklahoma, are visiting relatives and friends in this city. They arrived here Saturday from Anderson, Ind., where they spent* some time with Benton Scott and other relatives.
