The Great Wallace Circus.

and the Great Wallace Shows gave the citizens an ideal circus entertainment. The general verdict of the thousands of people who had the pleasure of witnessing the exhibitions in the afternoon and evening in that the Wallace shows are in the front rank of first-class tented entertainments, and as caterers to the amusement-loving public the management is in a class by itself. “At the afternoon performance the big tent was filled to its capacity. . But all records were broken at the night exhibition. The crush was se great that it became necessary to close the doors twenty minutes before the performance began and fully 4,000 people were refused admission. That the large crowd was greatly pleased with the performance was shown by the hearty applause which greeted every number on the long program. The Great Wallace Show will exhibit in Rensselaer, on Tuesday August 27th.

Notice to the Housewives. Have you a bread and pastry board in your kitchen? If not now is the time to get a good one. I will begin canvasing one next week, which is the finest one ever presented to the ladies of the town. It is easily and quickly cleaned with a damp cloth, no scraping nor scouring being required, as dough will not adhere to it. No more flour is required than is necessary to temper the dough, the good results of which are well known, while butter, lard and liquids can bo mixed upon it without being absorbed. —Some of our best bread and pastry bakers in Rensselaer, after having the pleasure of testing the good qualities of the above mentioned “American Bread and* Pastry Board” do unanimouly agree that it is the finest board for cleanliness, convenience, saving ect., they ever saw and recommend it to all others that need anything of the kind.

future residence and occupation but may continue in the hotel business at some other place. Mr. and Mrs, W, H.

Mrs. Coover will leave for northern Michigan in a day or two, to escape the hay fever season, and Mr. Coover will soon leave on an extended trip westward, looking for a suitable location for a permanent residence. A Logansport woman left her biby sleeping in a church pew while she enjoyed a church festival. She went home and did not think of her baby until she reached the house. The janitor had to be found and the church had to be opened up to secure the still sleeping offspring. If she had been dancing so hard as to forget her baby, what a fine moral it wculd have pointed for the preachers. “The J. Stevens Arm 3 & Tool Company, of Chicopee Falls, Mass , are offering to distribute the sum of SSOO to the 60 young persons sending them before October 1, the 60 best targets made with Stevens rifles. The prize range from SSO to $5. Send them 10 cents in stamps and state the calibre of of your rifle and they will mail 12 official targets and conditions of the contest.”

The “ankle bug” is all the rage now in certain parts of the country. Women are his favorite food and he fe£ls especially kindly toward those who who wear open-lace work hosiery. He only bites once, but the “bitee” has no doubt about being bitten. The victims are all alike. They scream and kick and attempt to grab the spot selected by the “ankle bug” as his own. This bug is the product of the twentieth century. An insect resembling him is known in South Africa, but only real, genuine, blown-in-the-bottle, “ankle bug” was born in the year 1901. T. F. Kramer, for six years a student at St. Joseph College, and for some time the editor of The Collegian, the college paper, left yesterday for Toledo Ohio, where he will visit relatives for a few weeks. This fall he will enter the Carthegenia theological seminary to take a five years’ course a necessary step before he can be ordained a Catholic pastor. His work as editor of The Collegian proved him of considerable journalistic talent, and during his college life here he made a large number of friends, whose best wishes will accompany him in his future studies.

The old post-office building has at last reached its final anchorage on Vine street, about a block east of the depot, and close io the old railroad water tank. The people up that way do not easily recognize the storm and time battered old hulk, and some of them think it is the lost lake steamer, Chicora, which a Chicago clairvoyant lately claimed to have located by the help of spirits, at the bottom of Lake Michigan. In this connection, inasmuch as there have been conflicting statements made as to the age of thi^building and the time of its construction, we may now state positively, that it was built by Tom Spitler, some years after the civil war, and either in the year 1868, or very close to that date.
