SAME AUDITORIUM TENT

SMALLER TENTS TO BE USED BY THE CAMPERS WILL BE IN THREE DIFFERENT SIZES TO FENCE GROUNDS. At a meeting of ' the teats . and grounds committee of the 1909 Chautauqua assembly, . yesterday , afternoon, contracts for the large auditorium tent and smaller tents to be used by the campers were closed with the Dayton company from which the officials of the Chautauqua have always secured the material. The committee did not secure a dining or cook tent, as the privilege man, Mr. Heidrick, will furnish his own this year. ' Will Be Waterproof., The large auditorium tent will be the same one as used last year. The committee has an iron clad guarantee with the tenting firm that it is to be absolutely waterproof. ' The smaller tents to be used by the campers are likewise to be thoroughly weather proof. . The- sizes of the camping tents are as follows: 9x12, 12x14 and 20x20. The price to be charged for the two weeks' camping privilege has not been determined. It will probably be the same as in the past, however. The grounds are , to be fenced in again this year and will be of the same dimensions as last year. The work on fencing in the grounds, hanging the lights and other details will probably begin a week before the Chautauqua opens. . , STORM CURE WOMAN Peal of Thunder and Flash Of Lightning Assigned As Causes.

The woman lay in an unconscious state and it seemed her last hour had come, when suddenly there was a flash of lightning and roar of thunder from the storm then in progress. The woman, was aroused. "My what a stroke of thunder" she said, the words being the first she had spoken for hours. Similar cases have been reported in scientific magazines but this Is believed to have been the first in Indiana. '' No Use Trying.

Katherine Elkins JAay Yet Be The Bride of A merican Citizen

Antwerp, June 29. Whether Miss Katherine Elkins is to become the bride of young William Hitt of Washington, a son of former Congressman Hitt of Chicago, or whether the purpose of her trip to Europe is that eho might meet her royal admirer, the Duke of Abruzzi, on this side of the water, were the speculations which interested the big American colony here when the daughter of the West Virginia senator arrived yesterday aboard the steamship Lapland. In company with Miss Elkins were her mother, Mrs. Hitt and young Hitt, who was her constant companion during the voyage.. To avoid the importunities of reporters when she was sailing from New York, Miss Elkins, who waa traveling with her mother and a retinue of servants, secluded herself in her cabin, and her name and that of her mother were kept . off the passenger list. ' During the voyage while Mrs. Elkins'. accompanied by her friend. Mrs. Hitt, of Washington, widow of the former Chicago congressman, came regularly to her meals in the dining saloon. Miss Elkins seldom left her cabin, took her meals on deck when every one else was below and always in company with young Hitt who was devoted to her during the entire voyage. They walked constantly together POSTMASTER ASKS DIVORCE; GRANTED Action Causes Much Stir in New Castle. New Castle, . Ind., June 29. This town is stirred by a : divorce action which was instituted yesterday. Postmaster J. H. Jones, brought -suit for separation from his wife, Mary. He alleges cruel and inhuman treatment The separation followed several stormy scenes. Trouble between the pair has been frequent for some time. Four years ago Jones brought suit but the complaint was withdrawn later. At that time the plaintiff alleged the defendant tried to kill him with a butcher knife before the honeymoon was at an end. The Bible has been so called only for the last 700 years. It was formerly called "The Books" or the "Diriae Library."

and this devotion set the other passengers wondering whether the Washington gossips, who had predicted an engagement between them were not right. On the. other band there was considerable surmise whether all this was not intended to veil carefully made arrangements by which Misa Elkins and her royal admirer might meet again on this side of the water. : Miss Elkins seemed in the best of health and spirits, and enjoyed the -voyage and Mr. Hitt's society thoroughly. Although Mrs. Elkins and her daughter tried their best to conceal their identity there were several Washingtonians aboard, including Baron Moncheur, the rtiring Belgian minister in Washington and his two daughters, so the secret was soon out. After that Miss Elkins and Mr. Hitt were the chief centers of interest to their fel low' passengers at their infrequent appearances in public. Their apparent devotion to each other was the subject of much comment, and it was general ly agreed that the affection displayed was rather more than childhood friendship could account for. .Miss Elkins, her mother, Mrs. Hitt and Mr. Hitt did not leave the ship at Dover, but came on here to Antwerp. Mrs. Elkins brought with bcr to Europe her own motor car, and an American chauffeur was among her servants. ENDS THE SCHOOL HOOSE SQUABBLE Superintendent at Straughn Decides on the Site. Straughn, Ind., June 29. The long drawn out controversy about the location of new school building at this place is ended for the present at least. The county 'superintendent has ruled the new structure shall be built oa the old site. He claimed his ruling was against his personal preference but governed by the evidence. The new structure is to cost $13,700 and the town has been divided, on the question of location for many months. Opponents of the location chosen are talking of instituting injunction proceedings. ( They claim the location is unsanitary and they expect the court would set aside the judgment of the superintendent If the matter is carried into the courts,'' a lively time is expected.
