Pretty vivacious May Smith Robbiua at'tbe opera bouse Nov. 6, in the musical comedy, “A Royal Reception.” The play has been entirely rewritten this season and contains many new sensational features. For a good long laugh and an enjoyable evening Bee “A Royal Reception.” Mrs. A. E. JAlter and baby, of Elizabeth City, North Carolina, who have been visiting her parents Mr. and Mrs. W. R.

The north bound Monon passenger train that went through here at 4:30 this morning encountered a great deal of trouble at Cedar Lake. A broken rail at that place turned five coaches of the train over on one side. Several passengers were bruised but no one was seriously injured. The wrecking train was hastened to the spot and within one hour after it reached there the track was cleared. The Halloween kids were out in considerable foroe, last night, and performed the usual variety of pranks, to about the usual extent. Streets and sidewalks were blockaded, vehicles displaced, outbuildings overturned etc. The most objectionable woik was the throwing down of many of Manager Ellis’ large bill boards. But as he wanted to reconstruct many of them, and to remove some to other places, he is not worrying greatly about the mischief done him.

The Rensselaer contracting firm of Rush & Warren is still rushin Wanen, and also rushin business. They have just taken three more building contracts, for this season, but all cut of town. One is a good house and barn for B. J. Giffoid, near Gifford, another a good 6 room house for Dave Alter, at Parr, and the other a large store with residence rooms above for Dr. Leeson, the druggist, at Rose Lawn. All-these contracts are to finished before Christmaß. The musical comedy “Little Trixie,” as presented at the opera houee last night by Fred Robbins company, gave fair satisfaction. The specialties comprised the

Barn urn's Monkeys “All well —all happy —lots of fun”. That is the regular report from the monkey cage of Barnum’s Circus ever since the keepers began dosing the monkeys with Scott’s Emulsion. Consumption was carrying off two thirds of them every year and I?he circus had to buy new ones. One day a keeper accidentally broke a bottle of Scott’s Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerly lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it might do thfm good. Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers report very few deaths from consumption. Of 'course it’s cheaper to buy Scott’s Emulsion than new monkeys—and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys and in man is *he same disease. If you have "it or are threatenH r " ” 'ed with it can you This picture represents the Trade Mark of Scott's Emulsion and is on the 409 Pearl St., New York. 50c and sl. all druggists.

grealer part of the entertainment, and the single feature performers, while fairly capable in their respective specialties, were poor stage ornaments in the comedy performance. There were two ir. three in the cast who are strangely incapacitated for the stage and the company cau not txpect to secure much favorable comment until these are replaced by actors of some grace and better articulation.

‘The Tariff is a tax,” said the Free-Traders, “and merely enhances the price of everything it is laid on and prevents our building up any export trade.” How completely events have disproved those theories! George Spider, who has been with the Wallace show bill posters siuce early in August, arrived home yesterday, the season billing having beeA brought to a close. The show closes iu Louisiana and wiil then return to Peru, lad., their winter quarters. Orla Finney, who has been a valuable grocery clerk iu Rensselaer for the past fine years, four with Forsythe and one with LaRue, has resigned his position at the latter place and today removed to El wood lud., to 1 ecome the manager of the grocery department in Nushbaune & Mashrneyer’e department store.

A. McCoy and Walter Porter have decided that mules are better than horses for farm work are replacing the latter with the former on their large farms near Fair Oaks and in Jordan tp. They went to Thorntown last night to attend a mule sale today and will go from there to Cincinnati, where they expect to buy about twenty bead.

The only fault to be found about the present weather is that it is too fine. The farmers all say they need some more hard freezes to dry the corn out in good shape for cribbing. There has been an unusual absence of hard frosts this season, so much so that farmers say the red clover is still blossoming in their meadows. In this connection it may be of interest to add here that just two years ago today there was 15 inches of snow on the ground. Gov. Durbin and state Auditor HartJ were on the Monon train whioh had the tronble at Cedar Lake, yesterday morning, and in one of the sleeping cars whioh was turned over on its side. The governor was not hart at all but Mr. Hart was bruised a little. They were on their way to attend a meeting of the board of control at Michigan City prison. The train was not under foil headway when the aooident occurred or no doubt many passengers wonld have been injured. A Democratic exohange notes the presence in this country of Marquis I to, Japan’s greatest and most progressive statesman, and quotes some of his remarks to President Roosevelt regarding Japan's great growth in foreign commeroe. Among these statements was the remarkable one that Japan now has 846 merchant steamers with a tonnage of 528,000 tons. No mention is made, however, of the fact that Japan is building up her fnerchant marine by means of a national system of subsidies, but such however is the fact.
