The Indiana Potato Crop

James L. Keecb, known as the “Indiana Potato King,” in a recent interview said:. V * “Maryland fears a potato famine and it is predicted there that ‘taters’ will see $5 a barrel, bat Maryland cuts but little figure in the business. The Indiana potato crop is practically a failure. The potato states are Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and New York. The potatoes will come around all right later in the season. The early southern crop was good, bnt was soon sold out. The drought has held back the earlier northern ones, so now there is practically none coming on the market. Potatoes are $3.50 a barrel, but I think they have reached the limit aud will soon begin to drop.” While Indittna may not govern the potato market, the failure of the crop inflicts a loss of thousands of dollars and is a very serious matter to the farmer.

Nothing Promised That Is Not Given —Not an Offensive or Improper Feature in the Whole Show. The Wallaoe Circus whioh comes to Rensselaer on Tuesday August 27th, is a show of the highest class and clean in every respeot. It represents all that there is of a legitimate worth in the circus business. It is in oharge of men who aspire to elevate the tone and purify the atmosphere of the oalling, and we believe the thousands who have attended the performances up to the highest professional and artistic Standard, the menagerie, large and varied, and the trained animals of the best, but there is not in connection with the Wallace Show a single one of those discreditable and demoralizing features which have done so much to give the circus a bad name, and to discourage the trne friends of that otherwise wholsome form of amusement. The managers of the Wallaoe Show keep all their promises, advertising nothing they do not expeot to give, and carefully divest their performances of anything and everything calculated to offend the most fastidious. We are sure that the verdict of the oitizens will be more favorable.
