Rarus. King OF the trotting turf, made his
mile In ALI at the K. c. Exposition. All things
considered, it Is the best time he has ever
made. But the greatest attraction was the
st. John Sewing Machine. A crowd of admi-
re.s gathered around it all the time. The
pretty little girl, Miss Kittie Alckox. whose
sweet little face could just be seen above the
machine, when her feet was on the freddie, OPP
Grated one Of the light running machines du-
ring the greater part OF the day, without IA
tigue. The sample Of work done on the ST.
John was really superb, and could be seen at
the office Of Trumbull, Reynolds & Allen, in
Main Hall. This machine attained the high
est degree of popular favor, and therefore
awarded the first premium by the Exposition
judges.
The ladies Of the Catholic church never fail
In giving charming entertainments to our citi-
zens, when they undertake it. All Of their
fairs and picnics have afforded great amount
Of enjoyment to the participants in them, and
when word goes out that an entertainment is
to take place, people OF all sects and bell efs
await its occurrence with extreme pleasure.
Life would be but an empty dream should
these merry-makings never occur. They serve
to relieve the tedium and wearisome routine
OF our daily life. They act upon our systems
and spirits as thoroughly and satisfactorily as
proper medical treatment when we feel i'll.
These "dashes" Of pleasure arc necessary for
all and cannot occur too often. The ladies of
the Catholic Society have in view the giving
Of picnic and harvest home celebration at
Oak Dale Park, next Saturday. They design
having ar elegant dinner. dancing, music and
other amusements. Our citizens can afford to
seek little rest from their business and daily
avoeations, and at the same time spend few
cents In most laudable manner.
We are pleased to state that DR.. c. M.Clark,
late Of Chicago, has announced his intention
Of settling in our midst. That he is an able
and experienced physician is made plain BY
the strong testimonials and endorsements he
bears with him. That he is very pleasant
and accomplished gentleman is made manifest
in few minutes conversation with him. The
DIR. was, during the war, surgeon Of the 3sth
Regiment Of Ill. Infantry, and from that posi-
ion was promoted to various honorable places
in the army by reason of his ability, fideli-
y and patriotism. We have seen the most
powerful recommendations in his favor from
such distinguished men ofthe nation as LYMAN
Governor Yates, Gen. Terry and
others. Besides bearing diploma from one
If the best medical colleges OF America, he is
supplied with certificate of honor from some
If tho most eminent physicians of the land
hat he has completed in most satisfactory
manner a more thorough course of study than
= usually pursued at medical colleges. His
