The day which put on a frown during the forenoon with : promise of rain turned out to be quite delightful in the afternoon. Three street cars were kept on the move be-. tween Meyersdale and Salisbury all day and cver 7700 fares were collect- ed. Many came by autos and it is sup- posed there was about 25p machines there at one time. Four bands dis- coursed music at intervals, namely, Frostburg, Garrett, Meyersdale and Boynton. : ACCIDENTALLY Tragic Result at Windber of Leaving Loaded Shotgun where Children Playing Caa Handle It. While playing policeman at his home in Windber on Monday evening, Roy Morgan, the: 12-year old son of Wm. G. Morgan. was instantly killed by the accidental discharge of a shot gun which had been left standing be-- hind a door. *While playing the gun had been moved“and the shot struck the side of the boy’z head.

The ocal management, of which E. C. Kyle is president, H. M Cook, sécretary and C, Q. Griffith, treasurer, are to be congratulated on ‘the success’ of this work. The receipts have passed the expenses by perhaps $100, which is to be placed with the $157.50 net amount left from last year’s Chautauqua, to be conserved for a fund which may help out some shortage in an off year. Fach of the entertainments and all of the lectures were fine and were heartily endorsed by all who were fortunate enofi#h to hear them. The lecture on “Babies and Folks” delivered by Robert P. Shepherd, while it might be suggestive of humor and fun contained something far bet- ter than merriment, for the speaker had a message on community interest that a town, city or county had much in common. Instead of endeavoring to secure big factories for your towns, try to do all of your buying and sell- ing in your own community. He scor- "ed the mail order business and made it out that the person who would sell ' country produce to the town-merchant pocket the money and then send in his order for his needs to a mail or- der house was a pretty mean person, indeed. There is encugh money earn. od in Somerset scounty to produce wonderful results. The fact is people are too selfish and forget their obliga- . tion to the community as a whole, a family of certain denomination does not mean, if he rdquires it, that all the other church people. should not do what they can to help him. The lecture on ‘“Marriage and Di- vorce” by Prof. Gus W. Dyer, of Van- derbilt University, was pronounced by some as the best in the course. The cause of divorce he ascribed to our industrial conditions. Young mar- ried couples can’t keep house be- cause it costs too much and then a boarding house is resorted to with the wife nothing to do. Work for her would keep her straight. There is too much idleness about the city. A child of five in the country on the farm is ¢o’'{ 1 'ain‘ng, but in the city a nui- sence. Work for all classes is what is need. The lecture on ond cleared up many of the wrong ~-neeptions people in general have concerning this modern factor in life. He performed experiments that were quite marvelous. The musical parts of the session were very entertaining and all that one could wish. On Monday forenoon at 10 o’clock a meeting was held in the basement of the Citizens bank by those interested in the continuance of the Chautauqua and it was decided to sign up for anc her year with the Lincoln Chaa- tauqua.
