Went 140 Miles Advertising Our Fourth of July Celebration.

Manager Don Wright, of the band, assisted by other members, made a trip of 140 miles advertising the Fourth of July celebration. Bills Were put up at Aix, Parr, Fair Oaks, Moroeco, Ade, Brook, Kentland, Goodland, Remington, Wolcott, Seafleld, Reynolds, Monon, Francesville and Plesant Grove, and a big start made toward letting our neighbors know that we are going to have a big celebration. Goodland and Wolcott are each going to celegrate, but celebrations are not contemplated in the other towns visited, it is said. The talent for the celebration has been procured and the newspaper advertising will start soon and will show all the features .that have been procured for the entertainment of the publie. The free entertainments are of a high order and plenty of them. The ball game will be separate from the other celebration and will be run by the management of the team. Wheatfield is to play the Athletics on that day.

Jaek Condon, the popular Monon conductor, is now in a Chicago hospital, where he is to be operated on Thursday for peritonitis and gallstones.

He was taken ill on the train and had to be taken to the hospital immediately on his arrival In Chleago and his condition is so bad that little prospect of his maovery is entertained. Mr. Condon has been a passenger conductor an trains No. 5 and 6 through Rensselaer for many years, and is well known to the traveling public and very popular all along the route
