Jack Warner and “Baldy” Powers and a couple of others making a party who were fishing at the Kankakee last week, were unfortunate and did not catch a single fish. Jack and Baldy couldn’t even buy any, but the other two member? of the party were more fortunate evidently in the buying line, and are said to have returned with quite a respectable “string.” Except for the heavy rains during the early part of the summer which drowned out crops in the low grounds of the county, the wekther this season has been ideal, and farmers state that they have never seen crops grow faster than this year. Although some certain parts of the county will raise but little, owing to the spring rains, it is likely that the crops raised in Jasper county this year will be the best in the history of the county.

The Fly editor of the Goshen News says: “Twenty drops of carbolic acid evaporated from a hot shovel will banish flies quicker than all the sticky fly paper ever manufactured.” Another exchange says that a small piece of camphor gum held over a lamp will do the work just as well. Mrs. G. M. Robinson was called to Mapleton, Kan., Saturday morning by the dangerous sickness of her sister, Mrs. Josephine Barrett, who was also a sister of Allen Catt—of—this—city,—and formerly resided here. She died, however, before Mrs. Robinson’s arrival, Saturday afternoon, we understand. She was aged about 45 years, and leaves no children.

There are two matters connected with the death of Joe Fagot that The Democrat is told are different thanfirst reported. Regarding his visits to the house in the east part of town, we are told he was at no time aware of the general reputation of the place, but understood it was Donahue’s boarding place. Also, his boys say that in crossing .the bridge where the accident occurred, planks put on in patching the floor of the bridge made bumps that shook the lights out on the machine, and he told the boys to hang on and he would stop the engine, which he did, but the momentam carried the machine too far before he could stop it, while the sudden extinguishing of the lights made the darkness so intense that he could not see to guide it. The report that the boys shat off the engine is erroneous.

OPERA HOUSE.

The Alphine Stock Company will play a week’s engagement at the Ellis House, beginning Monday night, Sept 4, and will produce comedies and dramas of a very high standard that have proven successful wherever the company have played. The company comprises ten people who are not only artists in their profession but are ladies and gentlemen as well. Papers in the towns where they have played speak highly of them, praising not only the members of the company and their acting, but highly lauding the character of the plays chosen for representation. Monday night the management offers an inducement to prove the reputation of the company. Each lady will be admitted free who is accompanied by a lady or gentleman who holds a 30 cent paid ticket, the bill for that night being “A true Kentuckian,” a drama which will arouse both tears and laughter. • The plays for the remaining evenings will be “Comrades,” “My Uncle From New York,” “The Convict’s Daughter,” “Oak Farm,” and “East Lynne.” Specialties will be introduced between acts. Prices 10, 20, and 30c. Remember Monday night a lady free accompanied by a person holding a 30 cent paid ticket.

CIRCUS TRAIN SLIGHTLY WRECKED

Which Delayed In Getting Unloaded and Knocka Out Parade. The “grand street parade,” the crowning glory of all circuses, had to be omitted by the Sun Bros, show here Thursday, owing to a little wreck that occurred to the train while on the siding here, causing about three hours delay in getting the circus unloaded and hurrying them to give an afternoon performance at all. The wreck occurred by reason of the air brakes on the Lafayette fair special failing to work, causing it to bump into the engine of the circus train which was pulling the latter out on the main track to set it for unloading. The special was coming up from Monon, the engine hauling it coming rear end first, and when the engineer attempted to stop before reaching the circus train engine the air refused to work and it backed into the latter engine with considerable force, the tenders being quite badly wrecked, but no one was hurt, as both engine crews jumped from their engines when they saw what was coming. A flat car on the circus train, next to the engine was partly telescoped with a circus car following and one of the wagons on the latter was considerably broken. The wreck delayed the unloading of the circus about three hours, and the parade had to be cut out, which was a disappointment to many country people, and perhaps some in town. There was a big crowd of people in the city and the attendance at the show both afternoon and evening was good. The show was well spoken of.

Balky Horaea.

In the United States army balky horses are started by bolding up a fore foot three minutes, tapping It, etc. Always be quiet and gentle with a balky horse and be careful to avoid hurting him. Balkiness is caused by overload Ing, too tight collar or harness, harsh treatment and Incompetent drivers.

Rlffhta of the Horae.

Horses have rights, and ownership has limitations. Every horse has a right to be so harnessed, fed and worked that he can be comfortable and can live at least half his natural term of life, which in our half civilized nation he is not allowed to do.

THE LOWEST CHICAGO PRICE ON A PIANO.

Everyone in Chicago knows that the way to secure a piano at the lowest price is to telephone, write or call on Lyon & Healy. This firm exhibits the largest and most varied stock of Pianos in the world. Over 1,000 instruments are displayed side by side under their roof. All of these pianos are sold at low, fixed prices, which are the same to everyone. The foundation stone of Lyon & Healy’s success is to have every piano they sell act as a missionary, that is, be instrumental in selling many other pianos for them. Lyon & Healy now offer to ship pianos to persons at a distance at precisely the same prices they ask for the goods in Chicago. Furthermore, they make a specialty of selecting instruments for persons at a distance. Skilled pianists go over the stock and pick out exactly the tone quality the correspondent desires. This plan works so well that Lyon & Healy’s shipments to the country are now very large. The advantage of buying a piano from the great Chicago music house is self-evident. There is nothing to equal the pianos that Lyon & Healy offer at §l5O and upwards. In the 20 great makes that Lyon & Healy sell you will, of course, find Steinways, Webers, Krakauers, Washburns, and, in fact, all the most desirable instruments of the day. Write for their new and very beautiful catalogue entitled “A Piano Book.” Address Lyon & Healy at 10 Adams Street, goDon’t fail to visit Rowles & Parker’s new clothing department.
