A GOOD PROGRAM FOR IRIS SUMMER Dates Will Not Be Announced Until Some Time In The Future Our people are looking forward with intense interest to the coming of the Lincoln Chautauqua Assembly which is to be held in our city during the coming summer and they may congratulate themselves that they do not have to go far from home to hear the very best things in the Chautauqua and Lyceum attractions. The program which will be given here this Summer, we have been assured is made up of the leading lecturers and entertainers of the country. These people have not been selected alone because of their splendid platform abilities, but because they stand for the highest and best things which make for the uplift of our people. In no other way for so small an amount of money, could the people of our community have the privilege of hearing these noted statesmen, educators, singers and entertainers, than by the splendid system under which our people are operating. The season tickets which are much lower than those of any other circuit, will admit to all sessions of the six days, and at each session there will be a double program, a lecture and an entertainment. Now that a number of our townsmen have gotten under this enterprise in assuming the obligation of the guarantee, all citizens should unite in making it the very great success and blessing it should be to our city, by procuring season tickets and in every way possible boosting this enterprise until the very air is pregnant with the Chautauqua spirit. It will probably be two or three weeks before the dates can be definitely assigned. The routing clerk is busy making up the route on which the dates depend, and these cannot be announced definitely until the w ork has been completed and checked.

Memorial Services The Memorial sermon will be preached this year by Rev. W. H. Mygrant at the Evangelical church on Sunday, May 25th. Wm. H. Pence, commander of the Lake View Post, G. A. R., on behalf of the Post, requests us to announce that all are invited to meet with the veterans on this Sunday to hear the Memorial address by Rev. Mygrant. The services will begin at 10:30. Rev. Graham of Leesburg, has been secured to deliver the address on Decoration Day. He is a member of the Sons of Veterans and is recommended as an interesting and fluent speaker. Home Building Fever Anyone afflicted with the homebuilding fever will aggravate the disease by reading Wm. A. Radford’s article on home building in this issue; but as the home-building fever is a disease, it pays to contract and to aggravate until cured by the construction of a home, and we most certainly recommend this feature to every one of our readers Mr. Radford will give you some very practical ideas along architecural lines. His talks for this week is about a pretty six-room cottage. Appeal Bonds Filed Appeal bonds have been filed for a new trial in the liquor license cases. The date of the trial will not be definitely known until next week, but it is thought that it will be heard about the first week in June. A change of venue will be taken from the Kosciusko court and it is probable that the case will be heard in Elkhart county. Letter From R. S. Cory Marshalltown, la., May 7,1913. George O.

STATE FIRE MARSHAL ISSUES INSTRUCTIONS Township Trustees And Town Clerks Must Report All Fires Township trustees, town clerks, and fire chiefs in this county will probably recieve this week full instructions concerning their duties as assistants to the State Fire Marshal, together with the proper forms and blanks for their records and reports. These town, ci tv and township officials, in every couhty in Indiana, are designated as assistants to the State Fire Marshall under the new Fire Marshal Law, and they are, by law, required to perform certain duties. The preparation and printing of the forms and blanks for the Fire Marshal’s assistants has required considerable time, but the work has been pushed and it is believed by Fire Marshal Longley, that he will be able to have them in his assistant’s hands within a few days. Each assistant to the Fire Marshal is required to report promptly to the Fire Marshal each fire as it occurs in any assistant’s territory. Fire Marshal Longley is impressing upon his assistants that this report must be made at once. In general the duties of his assistants throughout the state relate to inspection and investigation. Fire chiefs are being asked to make inspections and to report conditions that are deemed hazardous. Court News A disagreement between A. B. Cole and Floyd Kitson while at work near the “Slip” culminated in a personal encounter on Main street last Thursday evening. The men were arraigned before Justice Howard on charges of assault and battery and provoke. Floyd Kitson plead guilty to assault and battery and was assessed $7.60. A. B. Cole refused to plead guilty and when adjudged so by the court was assessed $lO and costs. In lieu of payment he was taken to Warsaw Saturday morning for an incarceration of 22 days. Fishing Is Good In conversation with Edward Ditton, he asserted that he has lived on Lake Wawasee about seventeen years, but can remember of no season when fishing was any better than this season. A fishing party composed of Richard Tuttle, J. 0. Perry. C. L Dietz and Fred Bruhen of Indianapolis, C Frey of Louisville, and C. L. Dewitt of Chicago, are at the Ditton Hotel. Fruit Not Hurt The cold weather of the past week has not injured the fruit.

INITIAL CONCERT OF THIS SUMMER Syracuse Band Will Give Their Opening Concert Saturday Night. E. W. Hire, director of the Syracuse Band, has informed us that the organization will give their first musical treat on Saturday evening of this week. The members of the band have been practising faithfully and will undoubtedly give a very good evening’s entertainment.

Below we give the program for the coming Saturday night: March l Little Giant March Jim Dandy Overture Heart* of Gold March.... ....Pa»time March . Legends of the Stars Overturelmpromptu March Propeller Exceptional Attractions The publicity department at Winona is sending out a unique post card announcing that there will be 282 different entertainments on the Chautauqua program, besides the Bible Conference addresses, and several hundred other special features.

Rumors say that elevators will be erected here immediately. The first mail over the B. & O. for this place was recieved yesterday. Another incorporation meeting will be held at the school house on next Monday evening. Henry Cook has his sail boat completed and will launch it next week. Miss Lucy Long, of Cromwell, is vtsiting the family of Mr. Ed. Holloway. We understand that Hank Blanchard has purchased a farm lying a few miles from town, of Mr. Westlake. Wm. Wallis has transferred the agency of that valuable book, the Bible Looking Glass; to Mr. John N. Brady, who will canvass for the work in this vicinity. We understand that Wm. G. Woods and Jack. Kitson have rented the Island House, on British Island, and took possession yesterday morning. Mrs. Solomon Juday, of Benton township. Elkhart county, met with quite a serious accident on Saturday evening of last week by falling from the top of a fence she was attempting to cross, by which her arm was broken. The 10th day of May, for time immemorial almost, has been a day upon which a majority of farmers in this country have been engaged in planting their corn. This year we know of no fields planted at that dace, and but little plowing has been done. If reports are true, there came very near being a naval engagement on the waters of Nine Mile Lake one day last week. The motto of one of the parties was “Don’t give up the ship!” consequently he changed the course of his vessel and “Dug” out from that locality. Mrs. Catharine Ruple, of this township, has a remarkable cow. from the fact that is but six years old, and in that time has become the maternal projenitor of six interesting calves. Each succeeding year, for the last three, the cow has become the mother of twins. Whose cow can beat it? Trot her out.

Fined For Fishing For sometime the residents in and around Lake Papakeechie have been under the impression that the public had the full right to fish on the lake, without the consent of The Northern Indiana Improvement Co., which owns and controls it, providing they entered on the lake from the public highway. Mr. Chas. A. Sudlow, President of the company, has been endeavoring in a peaceable way to prevent people not interested in the lake from fishing thereon, and has been very reluctuant to start any prosecutions, prefering to keep the good will of the local people if possible. However, the past week in order to make a test case and have the question decided upon, Mr. Sudlow through the company’s attorneys, Butt & Xanders, filed two charges against Wm. McClintic in Squire Kitson’s Court, one for trespass and the other for taking fish from a private pond. Mr. McClintic voluntarily appeared on Monday and

before pleading to either charge went to Goshen and obtained an opinion from Deahl & Deahl, who told him that the public had absolutely no right to enter upon the lake or fish thereon, even though they entered, from the public highway, and that it was a question whether or not they could stand on the public highway and throw over into the lake and fish. Upon recieving this information Mr. McClintic returned and was allowed to plead guilty to charge of taking fish and was assessed a fine of sso»> and costs, amounting to $13.25, and the other charge dismissed.
