An exhibitiou of sparring, club swinging, wrestling, ete., was held in the Pastime Club rooms over Hardenbrook’s saloon on Friday evening last week, the affair being under the management of Harry Richmond. The company of Athletes was composed of Ed Corey, of Gas City, Ind., champion heavy-weight of Indiana, Joe Harris, of Michigan City, champion lightweight of Indiana, Don C. Walkerze, George Ostler, a young man by the name of Miller and Steve Stephenson, of Michigan City. One of the main features of the entertainment was to have been a sparring match between Corey and Prof. Allen, instructor of the Athletic club rooms of Michigan City, but on account of the latter not being able to attend, this part of the program was a disappointment. The sparring, however, between Corey, Stephenson, Harris, and a few others, furnished plenty of amusement and a fair exhibition of the art of “self-defense.” The wrestling contest by George Ostler and Don C. Walkerze was the most exciting and interesting part of the entertainment. Walkerze is a professional wrestler and his opponent, George Ostler, is young and comparatively inexperienced in this line, but notwithstanding this the latter was game and succeeded in throwing the professional twice out of three long ! and clogely contested rounds.

Presiding Elder Bartmess was in charge. l As previously announced, next Sabbath evening the Presbyterian ¢ifurch will begin a series of revival meetings with Rev. H. C. Keeley in charge. The success attending Evangelist Keeley’s efforts in other places leads us to believe that with the proper support, religiously and socially, that these meetings will prove a source of great benefit to the town. Let every‘body attend and hear this successful revivalist. The subject. of first Sarman will be, “It éosts more to go to Hell than to H““V_‘.‘" S —-’m‘ o e Dr. H. S. Dowell, the dentist, makes it a point to keep abreast with the times in his profession. ~He has just added to his dental rooms the new and improved Excelsior apparatus for the administration of vitalized air. = This new apparatus is the greatest discovery vet made for the painless extraction of teeth. It insures the sucessful and painless extraction of teeth in every in- | stance, and the most sickly or weekly person need have no fears of any uncomfortable or weakening results. If | you have teeth that need extracting you will find it a privilege to have | them taken out by this new process.
