Improvement Shown In Many Branrh ea In East. R. o. Dun A Co.'s review. Issued Saturday, says: Steadily expanding Industrial opera tionsdue mainly, but not wholly, to the big war demands have a stimu lating effort generally, although the many uncertainties of the foreign sit uation make for caution everywhere. Hesitancy In new enterprises, how ever, does not Imply any lack of con dence In the future, but rather a dis position to await further developments In regardJo this country's diplomatic relmlonsJ5rh Germany. Fundamentally domestic conditions pain In strength. Gold is again flow ing this way and the banking position , is unusually sound, with ample funds available for all requirements. Col lections are 'somewhat less difficult on the whole, and while credits are still olosely scanned, commercial failures during May made much the best ex hlblt of the year. Moreover, the pur. chasing power of the people is en. hanced as the number of unemployed diminishes. . . Prospects for large traffic movement In grain and other staples prompt the transporting companies to enter the market more freely for needed equip. ment, and buying on the part of these Interests, together with the urgent war demands, results In continued Im provement In iron and steel. CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM PLEASES Season Opened May 15th in California Audiences . Appreciative. The first advance reports of the chautauquas that are now running In California are being received by the Dallas committeemen. ' The programs which are being given In California are Identical with the one which will be given here. The season opened in Stockton, California, on May 16th and although Stockton had never .before had a Chautauqua they made a won derful success of this first one. The audiences became so large during the latter part of the Chautauqua that the big canvas tent would hardly hold so many people. The newspaper found It hard to tell which attraction pleased the most. Clriclllo's band Bet the audi ence on fire and the presentation of II Trovatore" in full costume was a wonderful event. Every number on the program pleased as well as the advance notices Indicated and as one newspaper said about Nels Darling: "Stockton swal lowed Nels Dadllng and they liked him." The reports from every one of the ten chautauquas that have been held are just as encouraging as those from Stockton. Every town along the way has contracted for the return of the Chautauqua next year. Local com mltteemen have been waiting for some time for reports from the California chautauquas in order that they may be sure that they would have the same high class programs that have been given at the chautauquas In the west In the past. Now that they are as. sured a greater program than ever theysay they will make. Dallas chautau qua one of the best In all the west. One committeeman expressed the view of Chautauqua boosters here In this way, "We have been waiting for some time to hear about the California cHautauquas, they have been a won derful success according to the news paper reports, and wert are greatly pleased for we would have been badly disappointed if we had fostered movement as great as the Chautauqua and then not had a good program and now that we are assured the pro gram Is so very good, we plan on making our Chautauqua an event that will be talked about for many weeks to come."

BIBLE 175 YEARS OLD ATTORNEY HOLMAN POSSESSES BOOK OF GREAT VALUE. Having Seen Seven Wars It Now Pro claims Peace on Earth, Says - Owner. In a frantic effort to obtain some thing of interest for The Observer readers, a reporter yesterday discov ered among the miscellaneous junk that sometimes accumulates upon the shelves of the busy barrister, an an cient bible containing the "log book" of the Glen Holman ancestry. The bible was printed In the year 1740, the first entry being made in the year 1787 the same year and the same month, September 11, that the consti tution of the United States was adopt ed. The relic is the family bible of Attorney Hojman's grandfather, John Holman. The record shows that race suicide was unknown at that period, eighteen children having blessed the union of John Hcjman and Betsey Du Vail. In speaking of the heirloom, which is much worn at apropos and applic able chapters, the owner glanced Into past history with the remark: "That bible has seen the seven wars, the war of the revolution, the war of 1812, the Black Hawk war, the war on the Barbary states, the Mexican war, the war of the rebellion, Spanish-American war and now proclaims "peace on earth and good will to men," while the nations of Europe are fighting to the death the .great war of commercial supremacy. t LOCAL NEWS.
