* WANTED—A wolf; a leil li e wolf. If one can be procured between now and Tuesday ’evening, Nov. ICtiT, It will be taken to Lafayct e and presented between the acts of "the Wolf’ to Mr. Augustus Phillips, in whose honor the theatre party has been formed. Chas. But sell, the noied wo f, slayer of Hanging Grove township,' was appealed to to procu e a live wolf but Charley sets forth that his ■ game is to kill wolves and not to j capture them, and therefore tie en- j thusiastlcs here who had banked on j Charley to get the w6lf, received quite a jolt. But the woif proport ion has I not been given up and if one can be j procured it will certainly Le taken to i the Lafayette Grand opera house and presented to Gus by Mayor Ellis. Another plan is to have euch cf t v e party wear a ribbon stienmer of red and black, across which will be printed "Sme's Son,” and also the' date of the performance. It will be remembered that during the long I years that Gus has been away fn m Rensselaer he has always kept a keen i interest in the old town and that every time there .was a football game or other events in which Rens eLer was interes'ed, Gus would telegraph some words of encouragement from New York cn tbe morning of the s*me and "the boys” would telegraph him the result. So the boys are going to let him know that they app. e.late him and his interest in tyid they are going to ghe Idm- a splendid ovation. Up *to last night 134 tickets bed been sold. The e seats are all together, so that the Rensselaer crowd will be ull ill the same part of the house. Several unescorted ladies are going with the party and any others that cate Jo do so will be seated with the crowd and have its pro»e‘Lion. This is going to be a Jolly crowd and any persons who have not 'yet arranged to go had better conclude to go along. The trip to Lafayette will be made on the milk train and the round trip will be $1.26. Returning a special train Will ie*ve after the perfoimanc*. It la probable that several other stunts will be pulled off and a fine time is planned, ■< " a^aaM&aii Plenty of nice rooms for rent. Apply at McKay's store, or' phone 452. ;V : -;
