</' ■ Sr M MB* \ H " wh wiF' ■ ? & / t /ml CAPT. WESLEY’S SEALS

This marvelous animal act is one of the features of the Sparks Circus, which is billed to exhibit here Wednesday, May 21, and the following is the criticism of the New York Morning Telegraph of Saturday, Nov. 23rd, 1912, at which time these wonderful animals were playing an extended engagement at all the largest New York Vaudeville theatres: 'The current week the electric lights in front of the American Music Hall blazoned forth “Capt. Wesley’s Seals” and they deserved every klllowatt used to flash it. What impressed one most after seeing the wonderful exhibition given by the seals is the extraordinary patience which must have been utilized by Capt Wesley to train the seals. Training horses, dogs, and monkeys is easily understand-

Motice to the Lovers Of Good Ice Cream.

Chamberlin’s Perfection Ice Cream is always sold by the leading dealers. It costs him more money, but he wants to serve the BEST. Sold by C. P. Fate, at Rensselaer's leading soda fountain. The contest of wits between the prim old maid and the Parisian flirt for the hand of the rich young ward in the play “Merely a Scrap of Paper,” to be presented here by the Cebohd Dramatic Company Saturday night, is most amusing to the onlooker, though a sigh of satisfaction Is audible when the right one Anally wins her point and the youth is saved from an unhappy match. Miss Bell and Miss Richardson are both actresses of rare merit, and have appeared in other companies before their en gagement with their present company. Miss Richardson starred in ‘The Special Recorder” last year and won for herself an enviable reputation as a talented actress. Start spring right by having the piano tuned. Prof. Otto Braun will do the work right Orders may be left with any members of the boys’ band.

able, but to take a quintet of sea lions, performing out of the water, their natural habitat and to put them through o course of stunts, including walking tight rope, playing as a brass band, juggling rubber balls and other articles and even doing comedy stunts, is at most unbelievable, and for once that hackneyed phrase, “must be seen to be appreciated,” is apropos. One of the seals gets many laughs by his trick of applauding each stunt by the other seals. He does this by means of his flappers on the sides of the stand from which he works. Capt. Wesley is a young chap of likable personality, and there is a cleanliness and neatness to the entire act that goes far toward making it an unusual animal act and a great favorite with the ladies and children.”

HOW FAR IS MONTICELLO?

Not So Far That the Statements of Its Residents Cannot Be Verified. Rather an interesting case has been developed in Monticello. Being so near by, it is well worth publishing here. The statement is sincere—the proof convincing: James R. Van Pelt, Railroad St., Monticello, Ind., says: “I strained my back and was unable to work for two weeks. The pain over my kidneys became so intense that it was almost unbearable. I could not rest well and often had to get up. The slightest move caused sharp twinges to shoot through my. back and kidneys and I was annoyed greatly by irregular and painful passages of the kidney secretions. I doctored, wore plasters and tried numerous remedies, but failed to improve. On the advice of a fellow workman, I finally began using Doan’s Kidney Pills and in a week I noticed improvement. By the time I had finished three boxes of this remedy, I was able to go back to work. The backache left and my kidneys again did their work properly. Since then I have kept Doan’s Kidney Pills on hand and a few doses have always checked any return of the former trouble. I might add that since taking Doan's Kidney Pills, I have gained twenty-four pounds in weight.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

CASTOR IA Mr In&nta and Children. The Kind You Have Always Sought

25 YEARS-UNDER ONE MANAGEMENT

John H. Sparks World’s Famous Shows and Trained Animal Exhibition Coming Soon. So familiar has the public become with the fact of the enormous growth attained each year by the John H. Sparks Shows that the return of this greatest of American shows is awaited with much interest, knowing full well that there is always something new to be seen each visit. In fact, words fail to do justice to this wonderful aggregation of arenic celebrities, hippodrome spectacles and animal features. This season they have come together from all corners of the earth to make this the most complete exhibition of its kind ever attempted. Every day at 12 o’clock noon the grandest, rarest and most complete free street pageant'ever seen—a fortune invested in wardrobe, trappings, and accessories—will pass through the principal business streets, and cages and tableaux in endless variety, gorgeous floats, and fierce wild animals, ponderous elephants and stately camels will swing past to the martial music of four brass bands, musical wagons and the soul stirring calliope. Notwithstanding the previous enlargements the claim is made that the additions that have been added to the. show for this season are far greater than ever before attempted and make this beyond all doubt the most noteworthy amu sem en t achievement of the century, keeping in mind the three chief watchwords —magnitude, excellence and exclusiveness. The Sparks Shows will exhibit in Rensselaer, Wednesday, May 21. .

Better Order Cemetery Work Done Without Delay

If you want work done at the cemetery now is the time to arrange for it. The work is more easily done in the spring, the grass gets a better start and it is impossible to give the best attention to details when the orders are rushed in just before Memorial Day. Many wanted flower beds last year after the plants were exhausted. Please let us know in time this year and to be sure to be in time do it right away. Weston Cemetery Association,
