Mrs. W. R. Lee is expected to return to day from Colorado. She has su*f< red severely from rheumatism for a loug time and in company with her sister, Mrs. Fred Arnott, she went to Colorado two or three weeks ago with the hope of obtaining relief. It was generally supposed that her health was improving uptil yesterday, when relatives here received IT tele-' gram stating that Mrs. Lee was in a bad shape and that she was on her way home. The last appearance here of the little Misses Maloney in their Highland Scotch dancing act, secured for them many friends and admirers, and the announcement that they would again appear at The Princess brought out a large crowd to greet them. That their act was greatly appreciated, was evidenced by the hearty applause of the audience. The elder of the girls has taken many gold medals for the skill and grace with which she executes her dances. They will appear again tonight. Their dances are to be accompanied by bagpipe.

Harmount’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin Show Co. arrived here today about noon. They travel overland and came here direct from Francesville, where they showed last night. There are several wagons inthe outfit, drawn by mules. It is a very clean looking bunch, as a whole, and from the looks of their outfit, and the condition of their animals, it looks as though they were used to playing to big crowds. The main show tent and one or two smaller one have already been erected at the show which are the Hoover lots on North Cullen street.

The initial appearance at the Gayety Thursday night of The Bruces, the colored comedy team, caused much favorable comment among those who saw the performance, and last night a great crowd was on hand at both shows to witness their clever act. Their singing and dancing was inimitable and was rendered with that popular swing that only a darky can produce. The buck and wing dancing on roller skates brought forth much applause. This act is well worth the price of admission, so those wishing to see it will have their last opportunity tonight. ,

Walter V. Porter and wife have been at the Porter farm for the past two weeks and will remain there during the summer with their son, Ross, who had the sad misfortune to ipse his wife recently. Walter reports that the crop prospect is very fine. They •have 55 acres of wheat that looks excellent. The oats are heading out and are strong and of fine promise. The corn has made marvelous growth the past week and much of it is almost hip-high now. Mr. Porter has had a sawmill working on the farm and not only got out lumber for two barns for himself, one in town and one in the country, but sold several bills to farmers nearby. It will be remembered that the experiment stations last year argued for the late seeding of wheat. They' claimed that wheat sown early was' attacked by the fly, the eggs were laid and the flies hatched out in the spring and at once got busy, but wheat sowed after frost would avoid fly trouble. Many Jasper county wheat growers acted upon the plan. Now, however, reports are coming in that show the early wheat to be much the best. It got a good start last fall and withstood the hard winter much better. Much of the late wheat was plowed up, while fields adjoining and planted two or three weeks earlier are healthier and promise a .good crop. Of course, it may have been an exceptional year, but it will require more than a bulletin from the agricultural department to get farmers who made the test to tackle late seeding again.
