Monday evening, July Fourth, the local dramatic company, the O'Callag hans made their tenth annual appear ance at Chautauqua before one of the largest crowds that ever attended an entertainment in the great auditorium. Every seat was taken and In the aisles chairs were placed to accomodate the overflow and In addition to this many people were standing in the rear. The play, known as "The Settle ment" was a pleasing four act piece, a very difficult one to produce, but the presentation was more like a profes sional than an amateur one, according to the opinion of the five thousand peo ple who were entertained for two and one half hours, and the actors received many compliments for their excellent work, but people have grown to expect so much from this company that un less they give a better production than the professionals that come this way, little notice is taken of their efforts. This year their entertainment was especially successful in view of the fact that they had to entertain a Fourth of July crowd. Outside as many people as were in the large audi torium were busy shooting off fire crackers a foot long, and other fire works kept the intervals between the explosions of the crackers, busy with screeches, screams and sizzles and if by chance there happened to be an in stant that connections outside were missed there was sure to be steen babies crying and numerous people who had seen the play "up town" tell ing their neighbors what was going to happen next. Against this combina tion of circumstances in front and out side the players had to fight. It was also thundering and lightening during the greater part of the play. Besides the company, in order to give Mr. No lan sufficient time for his lecture, in stead of taking advantage of their privilege to start the piece at eight waited until half past eight before they started. This made the piece run quite late, but it accomodated Mr. No lan. Back of the curtain trouble with the scenery made a "wait" that was un avoidable and those of the audience who were good enough to realize all of the conditions stated feel that the production was remarkable in every way and that Devils Lake has an amateur company not equalled by any In the northwest, and that "The Settle, ment" was the bets play that has been seen here all season. oioorina httmbh* 133.

Relig ious services were held in the audi torium in the morning-by Dr. Hindley leading and the band and Princess •quartette to render sacred music. In the afternoon Ex-Governor Yates of Illinois spoke on "Government." Gov ernor Yates is a good talker, strongly dramatic at times and quite fearless in his utterances. The national celebration day was fittingly observed at the Chautauqua. The trains and auto service brought big loads all day and evening a big crowd of celebrants had gathered. General Hilbreth of Fargo gave the patriotic address of the day, in the auditorium in the afternoon and was listened to by a large audience. In the evening the O'Callaghans held forth in their play, and had a large audience which was well pleased. At 4 o'clock the baseball game between York and Devils Lake was the leading attrac tion. The W. C. T. U. ladies made the Fourth the children's rally day and held exercises under the direction of Miss Estehr Thomas and Miss Hol brook. The interest of the day's program on Tuesday was added to in the after noon by the first appearance of the Minnnesota Ladies quartette and in the evening by W. I.

Wednesday was the principal day of the season at W. C. T. TJ. headquarters and a big rally took place with Mrs. Florence Ewell Atkins, the noted tem perance lecturer as a distinguished guest It was through the efforts of Mrs. Atkins that Tennessee, one of the oldest states, came Into the prohibi tion circle a year or two ago. BASE BALL DEVILS LAKE SEEM8 TO BE PLAY ING AGAINST HARD LUCK THE PAST WEEK. Devils Lake's team seems to have lost their rabbit's foot and found a hoodoo, as they have only been able to win one game the past week. True they have been going up against some of the best of them, but their losses, In several instances at least, were due to errors at critical times. Probably the hardest proposition that they have had to meet during the week was the Colored Gophers, of St. Paul and one of the games with them was lost by errors in left field, the score standing 2 to 4 at the end of the game. In thio game the left fielder lost three out of four flies knocked to him, and In two cases let in runs by the muff. The other teams met during the past week were Brinsmade and York, two of the fastest teams in the state. The re sults were as follows: Thursday Brinsmade 5, Devils Lake 4, in a ten-inning game. Friday afternoon Gophers 7, Devils Lake 0. Friday evening Gophers 4, Devils Lake 2. Saturday afternoon Devils Lake 5, Hampden 4. Sunday afternoon York 5, Devils Lake 4.

The library board of Devils Lake feel that they were fortunate in securing Misa Bucklin's services as organizer of our library. Thoroughly business-like In all her transactions, courteous and well informed, she made the welfare of the library one of her personal inter ests and the good results of her work are evident In a few statistics given below: Miss Anna Sprung who has been elected to the position of librarian for the cpmlng year is at present attend ing the summer school of the Unlver sity of Minnesota, taking a course in library training.'
