Wallace's Circus Bigger Than Ever.

Bigger and better than ever, the Great Wallace Circus will soon be with us. Every department has been enlarged. Pour hundred arenic performers over a hundred cages contain the Million Dollar Zoo, and the show is completely filled with new and absolutely different novelties. In Greenfield on Friday, Sept. 8.

The Wallace Show is truly a mammoth institution. When one has seen it from end to end, outside and inside, and has formed an inventory of what he has seen and learned for a very nominal fee, how much real pleasure and benefit it has been, he can easily understand why a big three-ring" circus, of the high standard of the Wallace Show occupies the enviable position in the amusement world that it does.

Lawrence Boring is in the southern part of the state on a business trip,

smpsn

for

that purpose. Section 528 of the General Laws, says: "Whenever it shall happen that a quorum shall not be present or voting in the common council of any city of the State of Indi ana, at any stated or special meeting thereof, by reason of the wilful or intentional absence of any member or members of the same, or of his or them refusing to vote, or to answer their names on any rollcall, any member of such common council, so refusing to vote or to be present or to answer to his name, with the intent to defeat, delay or obstruct legisla tion or the business of the council, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than si000.

"I'LL TAKE yOU"

Said the Widow When Asked to "Take Something.''

A record-breaking courtship was concluded on Washington street in Indianapolis yesterday afternoon b\T Ephriam Dorton, a widower, and Mrs. Daisy Mays, a widow.

believe I know you." said Dorton as Mrs. Mays passed him. "Well,'' said Mrs. Mays. "I am sure that I kno.w you. How are you, CharleyV" "Charley' was a nickname she gave him several years ago when they were acquaintances. They talked of former days and Dorton suggested that they go to a place of refreshment and take something. "No, no none of that,'' returned Mrs. Mays. "That isn't what I'll take. For mine I'll just take you.''

Her smile was encouraging and also convincing. "I don't know anything I want more than I do you," he replied. A few minutes later they applied for a licease. "Give us a Squire and we'll be married right here," said the enthusiastic Dorton. A Squire was brought in and the ceremony performed without delay. As they left the courthouse Dorton said he never dreamed of being married when he left home.

A CLERK IN TROUBLE.

Postoffice Inspector Makes an Arrest at Shelbyville.

Frank Innis, a stamp clerk in the postoffice at Shelbyville, was arrested at that place yesterday by Inspector

Fletcher, of Indianapolis, and taken to that city and lodged in jail. Innis has been in the post office at Shelbyville for five years and always bore a good reputation. He was trapped by decoy letters containing marked dollar bills. He opened the letters and spent the money. He denied the charge when first arrested but later confessed. The Shelbyville Republican says: "There have been large amounts taken from the office in the last year and the postoffice inspectors, after having been informed of the Shelbyville case came here and began an investigation. "Several days ago Postmaster Lewis had a large wire arrangement placed in the local office, thinking perhaps

BUMBLEBEES CAUSE TROUBLE.

Hannibal Zike Loses a Stack of Hay Because of Them.

the well known resides one mile had a little ex-

perience Saturday with bumble bees which cost him about 880. Mr. Zike was breaking up a 25acre held of oats stubble when his plow came in contact with a life-sized bumble bees' nest. The horses got several warm indica tions of the presence of the in sects and Mr. Zike was also handed a few biffs that reminded him of the time he hived a swarm of bees here in town one Sunday morning" not long ago, and for seven or eleven minutes he was the busiest man in Hamilton township.

He finally set fire to the nest as a means of extermination and started to plow around the field which meant a journey of about a mile. He kept his eye on the fire, however, to see that it did not spread and destroy several stacks of hay that stood near. While he wras in a low place in the field the fire began to crawl toward one

the stacks and

when he had about completed the tour of the field and came up over the brow of the hill fte saw the danger, and whipping

a furrow between the lire and the nearest stack, but one of the horses became frightened and would not go near the fire.

Seizing his coat he fought the flames vigorously for some time, but could not control them, and when the stack once took tire he abandoned the battle and began plowing a deep furrow around the other stacks and succeeded in saving them by hard work.

The stack that burned contained about five tons and was valued at S30, so it may be realized that the most severe pang he received was not administerby the Messrs. Bumble-bee.

Mr. Zike is well known in Greenfield and numerous men in this city were associates of a few years ago. They all sympathize with him in his experience with bumblebees.
