Parade Indicates the Show.

Be sure to he out for the parade ol' the Great Wallace Shows. It is a solid mile of glittering pageant, with many grand and artistic tableaux, beautiful women, handsome men, all gorgeously attired, and the finest horses ever seen any where. There are a number of bands, a herd of elephants, a caravan of camels and scores of open dens. The parade is a true index to the show; so see for yourself in advance whether this one is worth paying to attend. At Rensselaer, Sept, 4th. The Jasper County Republican Centra] Committee are erecting a wigwam on Hollingsworth & Hopkins lots in Riverside Park. It will be a substantially constructed affair 40 x 84 feet and well arranged for the accommodation of public meetings. We are sorry that this matter was not talked of soon enough that it could have been made a mutual affair between the Requblican, Democratic and Populist parties, and had one three times as large, and for the accommodation cf all as a better location could not be found for that purqose.

“Old Hayseed.”

A well pleaßed audience, the largest of the week, saw a fine production of the above play at the, Pavilion last evening. The play was well put on and the songs w r ere new and well received, calling forth numerous encores, Mr. Eldon and Miss Clifton being particular favorites. Dad Hare ter as “de tough” was out of sight. People were under the impression that cheap prices mean a cheap show and that after the first night the performance would be ordinary. In this they have been mistaken as the attractions give better satisfaction each evening. Mr. Eldon and his pleasant manager, have found out what suits a Peru audience, and are trying to please the people and from the way “Old Hayseed” was receiver! last night we think they have succeeded. A better pleased audience never left the Pavilion.—Peru Press.

Electric Bittern. Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed, when the languid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malaria poison. indigestion, constipation, dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. 50 cents and 31.00 per bottle at h . B. Meyer’s drug store.

From The Valparaiso Daily Star. A few weeks ago Dr. J. H. Wilson, of this city, on account of failing health, more particularly his eye sight, he being almost blind, and through the advice of an opthalmist who is soon to perform an operation, sent to Bishop Andrews his resignation as Presiding Elder of the Valparaiso district of the Northwest Indiana conference of the M. E, Church. esterday Dr. Wilson’s resignation was accepted and Dr. Samuel Beck, of South Bend, was appointed to fill the vacancy until the session of the annual conference which convenes at Terre Haute next month. Dr. Wilson has worked hard to place the district where it now stands, it being one of the foremost in the church. To accomplish this he has labored both in and out of season, and The Star hopes that, after a few month's needed rest and a successful operation for his eyes, Dr. W ilson will be able to resume his active labor in the church.

Summer Resorts on the Romm.

The summer resorts on the Monon Route are more than usually popular this year, West Baden and French Lick Springs, in Orange Co., are overflowing with visitors, and the hotels have all they can do. Paoli, the county seat, has opened" a rival sanatorium, which is well patronized. The waters of the various springs differ materially iu their constituents, and are successprescribed for a great variety of maladies. The woods in the neighborhood abound in game and all the streams teem with flsh—some of them having been stocked by the government flsh commission. All indications point to West Baden (and the neighborhood springs) as the great sanatorium and popular summer resort of the west. Cedar Lake, forty miles from Chicago, is a favorite picnic and outing spot where the Monon has a line wooded park of nearly 400 acres. The fishing is first rate.

The “S.' R. O.” sign was displayed the second time time this week at the opera house last night, and hundreds of people were turned away not able to get even good standing room. The Eldon combination has evidently struck the town amidship, and everything seems to be going their way. “Old Hayseed” is the only farmer play in their repertory, and they made the most of it. As “Old Hayseed" Mr. Eldon was a great success, personating the typical “jay” as if to the manner born. The musical specialties pleasing and gave a restful diversity to the performance. The company closes ■ a very satisfactory week’s engagement with to-night’s performance, on which occasion they will present the beautiful /Irish play,’ “Inshavogue”. In view of the almost certain probability that standing room will be at a premium, those desiring to see this performance would act the part of wisdom by securing their seats in advance. A grand farewell ten cent matinee will be given at 2 o’clock today, on which occasion every child will be presented with a sack of candy. Admission 10 cents to any part of the house. —Kokomo Dispatch.

Maruelous Results.

From a letter written by Rev. J.

Semi-Centennial Celebration.

Fifty years ago two young men, John and David Alter, driving an ox team, struck this town inquiring for a location to farm on the prairie. Our old enterprising townsman, Geo. W. Spitler, directed them where they could find a stone quarry, ‘way out upon the prairie.’ Thither they journeyed and located on sec. 21, town 27, range 7 west This we believe was the first settlement made out on the praire. Arrangements are now being made for an old settler’s meeting to be held Sept, 17, at Alter’s Grove to celebrate the Bemi-centennial of the settlement of the prairie. Short speeches by old settlers and other entertaining features will make it pleasant for all. Everybody is invited to attend. Bring your baskets well filled and have a picnic.
