This is the largest motor car show in Indiana under one roof. Space has already been reserved for segenty-five cars, all different makes and models, ranging in 'horsepower from twenty to sixty, and in price' from $350 to $5,000. Besides this display of automobiles, accessory exhibits, including body builders, electric lighting systems, tires, demountable rims, carborators, electric devices and various novelties will be seen in the same building. To anyone considering the purchase of an automobile this show will be Well worth traveling miles to see, for nowhere, except the Chicago show, can all the makes and models be seen under one roof as at the Lafayette show. The annual hill climb will again be held on the second day of the show. Entries already assure live competition and these events will undoubtedly attract thousands to the race course, last year’s hill climbing contest drawing one of the largest crowds of the year to Lafayette. The entries are open to all comers and some automobile enthusiasts from here will probably be seen in the line up.

Revival Meetings at the Trinity M. E. Church.

Mrs. Fell’s subject last night was “A Representation of Human Nature,” basing the sermon on the life of Peter and his denying his Lord and his restoration. The sermon was one to help those who are living away from their Lord and Master. The following is a brief outline as treated by the speaker: 1. Peter’s failure to confess Christ. 2. His failure to pray. 3. Peter’s falsehood and perjury. 4. Peter’s presumption and self-con-ceit. The want of reliance upon* God. 5. Imprudence and fear of mad. This was a strong sermon. Giving reasons why one loses their religious experience and how they get back into the world. The afternoon meeting was full of inspiration. Don’t miss these meetings.

Fourteen Year Old Youth Killed Wolf Near Roselawn.

Paul, the 14 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Felix Parker, of near Roselawn, killed a wolf a few days ago. Mr. and Mrs. Parker were returning from Roselawn and saw the wolf crossing the hog lot, about 50 yards away. Mr. Parker hastened after the gun and accompanied by his son and three visiting children set out in pursuit of the beast. He got a shot at rather long range and succeeded in wounding the animal in one hind leg and Paul, who went around, headed the wolf off at the Monon tracks and turned him back toward the house. The children kept up their pursuit and finally Paul got a shot at him, using his target rifle at a distance of only 10 yards. The ball struck in his froehead and the wolf dropped only a few feet from the Jasper county line.
