Advance 'Sale of Tickets
1
The advance sale of tickets ex­
ceeds that of last year, and that
with little or no canvassing. Al­
ready 50 per cent more tents have
been ordered than were sold last
season, and additional orders are
coming in by almost every mail. It
is safe to say that over one hundred
families will be camped on the
grounds this year. This means an
encampment of nearly 500 people.

The Second Annual Assembly of
the Worthington Chautauqua Asso­
ciation, to be held .Tiily 4th to the
14th, promises to be succesful in a
high degree.
The program committee laid a
solid foundation for a successful
session by providing a program of
the highest merit that money could
procure. The committee went after
the best talent in the country and
secured the best available, with the
result that they have many of the
most noted and successful Chau­
tauqua attractions. The committee
spared no expense and the result cf
their labors is apparent from a per­
usal of the program which appears
elsewhere in this issue.

is the mammoth new pavillion in
which the exercises will be held.
This building is nearly completed,
U. S. SENATOR DOLT^VER
and will afford ample accommoda­
tions for a crowd of 2500 people.
Rain or shine the program can now
be carried out without the least in­
convenience or discomfort to talent
or audience.
Many other improvements and
conveniences will be available that
were lacking last year. A large new
boat pier has been constructed and
greater facilities will be afforded to
visitors to enjoy the boating and
fishing. A line of launches will be
in commission to transport people
to and from the bath house and the
city.
No city west of Madison has such
an ideal location for a Chautauqua
as Worthington. A beautiful park,
a magnificent lake and handsome
rity combine to make a setting for
the enterprise that gains the admir­
ation of all who visit the city. The
fishing in the lake has been unus
luaiy good the past season, and lov
«ra of that sport can here indulge in
fhia fascinating pastime to their
heart's
content, being assured of a
generous reward for their time
and effort. The bathing facilities
are unexcelled anywhere outside of
metropolitan resorts, and all who
like a dip in the lake can have their
desire gratified., !The chutes add a
great deal to the enjoyment of this
sport.

ticaiton a fine treat for every day of
the Chautauqua.. The entertain­
ment of the little folks has not
been neglected, and for them the'In

velous attraction.
There is no better place to spend
your vacation than at the Chautau­
qua, and the Worthington assembly
offers inducements excelled by no
other within several hundred
miles. Come and camp with us,
and rest assured of cordial treat­
ment by the officers of the asso­
ciation and the citizens generally.
BABY ON DOORSTEP
Three Weeks Old Infant Left at
Dr. Dolan's Door Wednes*
day Night
Child's Mother Discovered Short
ly Afterwards and
Owns Up
Dr. C. P. Dolan was torn from the
blissful embrace of morpheus last
Wednesday evening by a noise at his
front door, and on investigating the
cause found that the stork had played
a triuk on him and left a 3 weeks old
infant at bis doorstep. The docter
took
the little stranger in and at once
notified Sheriff Fauskee. That cfficer
went down to the depot about train
time and discovered a young woman
who aroused his suspicions. He took
her into custody and when confronted
by the doctor she owned up to the
affair, took the baby and .was allowed
to depart.
It appears that some time ago when
Dr. Dolau was attending a case in a
family in which the young woman:
sy W',^thpil&y$&'
should like to have someone ,iind a
baby for him. The girl beard the
remark and said-she would remember
him. She evidently did. The, young
woman's name is Miss Lizzie Wade.
Her folks formerly lived iu this
county, but are now in Iowa.
Dr.. Dolan frequently ministers to
the stork on his visits to the homes of
Nobles county people, but he must be
rather averse to such clandestine vis­
its to his own home or he would have
taken the stranger in and said noth­
ing.

to three years for hone stealing,
at Bell Foarche, Butte oounty,
South Dakota, escaped from his cus­
todian, R. C. Harper, at Adrian last
Sunday night, while being taken to
the penitentiary at Sioux Falls.
The sheriff and his prisoner trans
fered here Sunday night,and before
the train reached Adrian the officer
went to sleep. He did not miss his
prisoner until the train reached
Magnolia, and at once telephoned
from that place notifying the offi­
cers here and at Adrian. Up to this
writing the prisoner had not been

WORTHINGTON,
SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC
Swedish Lutherans Enjoy a Day's
Outing at Ocheda.
The Sunday School of the Swed­
ish Lutheran Church held its an­
nual picnio on Monday in a beauti­
ful grove on Mrs. Gustafson's farm
on the banks of Lake Ocheda,
which was attended by the members
of that church generally to the
number of several hundred.
A short literary program was ren­
dered during which addresses were
made by the superintendent of the
Sunday School, Mr. Carl Anderson,
and the pastor of the churoh, Re v.
C. O. Swan. After a delightful pic­
nic dinner a program of sports was
presented. Svante Eindlund won
a prize in a foot race, but the stren­
uous effort crippled him up for the
balance of the day.
The Swedish Band furnished
music throughou the day, and al­
together the occasion „was
highly enjoyed by .j''*all. The
weather was warm bat was other­
wise perfect.
BOYS RECEIVE SENTENCE.
Claude Ventioner and Fred Netter
Plead Guilty to'Grand Larceny
in Second Degree.
Judge Brown came over from Lu
verne Tuesday to hear the case
against Claude Ventioner and Fred
Netter, who had made application
to plead guilty to the charge of
grand larceny in the second degree.
The former was given 30 days and
the latter 10 days in the county jail
The offense to which they plead
guilty was taking two knives apiece
from the valise^of a traveling
the offence was committed after
dark it came under the head of
grand larceny. Ventioner was em­
ployed at the hotel as porter, at the
time. The traveling man to whom
the valise belonged lost his sample
trunk here at the same time, and it
was thought the boys had taken it.
But no evidence could be found to
connect them with that theft, and
the district attorney says he is now
satisfied that they had nothing to
do with it. Both fcoys positively
maitained from the first tUey had
nothing to do witn it,although they
confessed to the minor theft. The
experience has been a severe one to
the boys and we hope they will take
to heart the sound advice given by
the judge in passing sentence.

A four weeks summer training
hboi for teachers will be held in this
cit|, beginning next Monday, July
ls^ An able corps of teachers has
been secured and good work will be
dohe in all departments. Prof. C.
Marshall, of St. Charles, will be the
conductor. His assistants will be H.S.
Ki|k of Heron Lake, Miss Alma D.
Waj?an of Amboy, and Miss Carrie
Se^atsonof Minneapolis.
1p8 main purpose of the school will
befo prepare teachers in an educa­
tional way to secure higher grades of
certificates to become informed of the
molt approved mHthods of instructing
cli^ren in ti^eir earlier school years
to tome in touch with soma of the
leading educjalors of tbe state and re­
ceive new inspiration from them, and
als| to receive all of the general bene
fitsfthat comf from a general associa­
tion with the'Jteachers of the county
and the inspiration, and the helpful­
ness that a coming together of such
a number and such a class of people
will always give.
The instructors are educators of
wide experience from the beat posi­
tions in the state and'each one chosen
for his special adaptation for the work
to t3 done.
lihe conductor, Prof. Marshall, of
St^Charles, will have general super­
vision o^ert^ conduct of the school
Geoaie" ry, K!emehtafry"ATgebra'^and
Physical Geography.
Prof. Kirk, of Heron Lake, will
teach Arilhtneti- I., Arithmetic II.
Physics, and Civics.
Miss Alma D. Wagen, of Amboy,
will teach Grammar, Elementary and
Advanced, Physiology, Geography,
Reading, and Music.
Miss Carrie Sevatson, of Minneapo­
lis, will teach Model Class, Primary
Methods, and Physical Culture.
The work will be so arranged that
all gtades of teachers may find the
particular work they desire to take.
If a teacher ha? but one or two sub­
jects he wishes to make up he can ar­
range to recite twice a day in each
subject.
There area large number of teach­
ers holding certificates wbicb cannot
be renewed. The majority of the sec­
ond grades have one or more marks
below the renewal marks of 72 per
cent. It should be the aim of every
teacher to secure a certificate that can
be renewed at tbe time of its expira­
tion.
Those who have been teaching on
third grades during this year should
strive to hold second grades for next
year. Every year a fourth of the
teaching force are beginners and all
these need the special training offered
at the summer school before attempt­
ing to experiment in the delicate work
of teaching children.
Whatever shortage is found to ex­
ist in the teaching force of this county
will be filled out from the ranks of
those who attend the summer school.
The state examinations will follow
the summer school and will be held
on July 31, August 1 and 2.

A Delicate Operation.
A peculiarly difficult and signifi­
cant operation was performed at
tbe Worthington Hospital last Sat­
urday by Drs. Manson, Geyerman
and DeCoster on a lady from Win­
dom, who was afflicted with ulcera­
tion of the stomach. The opening
from the stomach into the intestines
was nearly cloned up with ulcere an
a cumulation of of /tissues, so the
intestines were cut off, the opening
in the stomach closed up, and anew
connection made. One of the doc­
tors says this is the first operation
of the kind performed in Minneso­
ta, outside of Rochester, and they
are watching the case with a good
deal of interest. The patient seems
to be getting along nicely.
Farmers
Please
bear in mind that
that the haying and
harvest season is near at
hand and that it would
be well for you to look
over your "machine now
and see if any repairs are
needed, and if so make
your wants known and
save delay when ma­
chines are to be used.
