THK earning wheat crop in this locality promises the greatest yield known for many years, and a few weeks such as this will cause the the corn to start and fully recover from the late start.

JULY, usually a dull month,is counted on now for a good trade by our business men, owing to the backwardness of the season, and the fact that until the end of this month farmers are too busy to buy anything more than for the actual necessities of present living.

OWKK Pi xi,XY A Co. tell this week in The Mail's biggest type of a monster excursion from Watseka andjintermediate points on the Danville route, to this city, next Tuesday, at rates lower than ever before enjoyed by the people on that line. This enterprising firm has, during the past two years, carried 50,000 people into Indianapolis in this way. This is the initial trip here, and if successful, as it certainly must be, will be followed with excursions at similar rates on ether roads coming into this city.

THK Calico Party at the Roller Skating Rink last night was a big success. The large tent was crowded to its fullest extent with skaters and spectators—the latter equally interested with the pleasing exercise of the former. It was surprising to see what elegant costumes could be made up of cheap calicos, and the graceful skaters, as they glided over the smooth floor on the little wheels, presented an animated scene. The Rink is the attraction of the season.

THE CA NT A TA OF ESTHER. This pleasing musical entertainment was given very creditably last night, by members and Mends of the Baptist Sabbath School, under the direction of Miss Luetta Hedges. We are getting to be such a very musical community that it is quite a matter of course that any such entertainment should be marked by taste, and some display of talent. The stage prepared in (he Baptist church was well filled by the groups of singers in brilliant costumes. We noticed some very good voices among them no artistic exhibition seems q«ite complete without Miss May McEwan, who is as ready to help as her friends are to hear her sing. The principal characters in the Cantata were well and musically supported by Messrs. W. P. Felver, D. E. Powers, and W. A. Kennedy, and tHe Misses Simpson, St. Clair and McEwan. Among the mere pleasing choruses, that in the fifth act, by the little girls, with its well-executed march was the most popular. The Cantata will be repeated, but not this afternoon, as was announced.

THE closing of the schools, the pleasant weather, and the good reputation of John M. Adams' photograph gallery, have given that establishment lots of business this week. One very fine picture is a group of Normal school students. If you wish to see some fine work glance at the specimens at the foot of his stairs, No. 417% Main street.

THE CLIMAX OF MANAGERIAL SKILL.

The Greatest Amusement Enterprise of the Age—What May be Expected —A Tour tn Foreign Lands— 1200,000 Invested.

Of late there has been.more or less controversy as to who is the greatest amusement caterer in the world, and the result has been to point out W. W. Cole as the one great Csesar of the Show Kingdom, and his recent successful tour in foreign lands, and triumphant return to America, after a journey of over 42,000 miles by land and sea seems sufficient to warrant this million rendered verdict Mr. Cole has recently added to this mammoth circus, menagerie of trained animals and great congress of wonders, all the strange and striking features possible to discover during his recent tour of the world, and it is now safe to say that over $2,000,000 is represented innis gigantic combination which is replete in all its appointments and beyond all reasonable doubt the grandest amusement enterprise on earth. In order to deviate entirely from the usual routine an enormous theatre stage is erected and used for the purpose of introducing a series of performances never before seen under canvas. A $50,000 troupe of triok stallions is one of the novelties. These veritable animal actors have been trained to a degree of excellence which dwarf to insignificance all uine education. A also introexecutes a number of feats that are truly remarkable. A troup of Maorie war dancers and real Arabian atheletes will be seen. Not less than one hundred famous artists will vie with each other for public honors and none but bare-back equestrians are employed. One of the most thrilling sensations is a troupe of aerial bicycle riders, who hazard life and limb upon a single cobweb wire stretched from end to end of the vast canvas, and this they travel with a bicycle while they perform a number of incredible and daring feats. Rival riders, taasts, ana aeiialists are introdu simultaneously, thus adding seat and fire to the performance. In the menagerie wiU Ira seen the largest and best collection of rare animals ever owned or transported by any organisation. The entire show will visit Terre Haute on Wednesday June 14th, and we opine that it will produce a lasting impression by its extereme immensity.

TJP-TOWN TICKET OFFICE." The sale of tickets for W. W. Cole's Great Show, will commence at 9 o'clock on the morning of June 14th, at Button A Co's Book Store. Owing to the enormous rush at the ticket wagon in all places where exhibitions are given, it has been found necessary to establish an "up-town ticket office" in every city, in oraer to supply the demand. General admission tickets and checks for reserved cushioned chairs will be on sale as above. At a light advance above usual rates to bear expenses.

NEW LOT OF CORNICES at $1.00, f1.25,91.50 also a fine assortment of laoe window curtains at from $1.25 each to $12.00 a pair. Nottingham lace, 12K» 15, 20,25 cents and up to 80c per yard. A. Z. Foster, dry goods and oarpets.

Business Excursions under the auspices of OWEN, PIXLEY & CO, are net entirely a new feature to many people of the State. We have carried over 50,000 Excursionists into Indianapolis during the past two years at from one-third to one-fourth of the regular fare. They are managed by men of experience. No pains or expense are spared to provide ample first class accommodations, and a day devoted to our excursion at the very low rates we offer will afford profit and pleasure to any who take advantage of it.

Our object in operating Cheap Excursions is to enable people to reach Headquarters for Clothing at the smallest possible expense not that we expect any one to buy goods from us unless they desire to, for we do not exact this, but it enables people to see for a small expense what we are, the advantages we offer, the saving we can make them whenever they desire to purchase Clothing, and we gain our object whenever we achieve this result-

We are one of the largest manufacturing Clothing firms in this country. We retail more Clothinir in the West than any other Clothing firm in this country. Onr succcss in the West has been won during the past six years'. It was good goods and at wholesale prices that secured it.
