A Meritorious Entertainment.

The combination sciopticon, literary and musical entertainment, owned and managed by M. M. and Joseph Tyler, of DeMotte, has already exhibited in 15 or 20 school houses in Jasper county and has met with such encouraging patronage that as many more will be visited before they leave the county. “Hans Kaufman (John E. Alter) the great German humorist, with his comic lecture is an ever popular feature of the exhibition. The Scioptican employed is one of the best made, and of very high power, and the views shown are vast in number and unsurpassed in quality. Are beautiful, interesting and instructive. They include a splendid representation of the Solar System, in motion; 25 views from the life of the Savior, 19 views of American History, 12 of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, 6 for little folks, 47 large movable comics, 27 crayon comics, and various others. The show is well worth the moderate admission money several times over. The sparkling effect of a delicate stimulant upon the jaded system when drinking a cup of Mr. C. 0. Starr's pure J ewel Tea.
