Remember that the ice cream season has
opened at Hess bakery, corner of La Sale
and Jefferson streets. In calling the atten-
ton of the public to this important fact it is
needless to add any words of praise or com.
mendation in its behalf Mr.. Hess has been
established in this business for twenty years.
and his reputation has extended far beyond
the confines CT Ottawa. He does not say that
his ice cream Is better than that manufactured
elsewhere. There is no necessity for his
making such statement as his customers in
varably make that assertion themselves. The
ice cream parlors thrown open to the public
this week are unquestionably the finest in La
Sale county. The room has recently been
reftted and re-furnished, newly carpeted and
some elegant and costly mirrors added. The
location is pleasant one and the establish
ment will, no doubt be, during the present
season, Il popular place Of resort as it has
been in years past. When you are on La
Sale street drop in and you will be delighted
with the cool coziness of this popular resort.
Polite and gentlemanly walters will be in at
tendance and will spare no pains to make all
visitors comfortable.

a Missing Link.

A committee of physicians, including
Drs. Dyer, Vance, Hathaway, Macarthur,
Hard and Ryburn, were invited last Tuesday
to hold a consultation over the what was-it,
or krao, the strange little being with Doris
circus. The conclusion reached by the medi-
cal experts was that krao was the living type
of race and not freek of nature The lit
had chat in the side-show, is nine years of
age, with complexion Of yellow black tint
her hair being of very brilliant black color
and very heavy, as are also her eyebrows
Her face, which is large and fiat, is covered
with hair about an inch long, as are her arms
and body. Her nose is without cartilage
The fingers are very flexible and can be easily
turned so as to touch the back part of the
hand. She can also turn her toes back so as
to touch the instep. The checks can be used
as pouches to store away food, and altogether
this missing link" between man and
monkey, is truly wonderful being. She
was captured a few years ago in the forests of
Siam, India, and has been taught to speak in
diligently, writes fair hand, and can con.
verse fuently in English, French and German

Michigan University in Ottawa, DR.. James B.
Angel, president of that institution, has con-
sented to visit Ottawa and deliver lecture
while here. As the Doctor is acknowledged

rousing reception. After the lecture on Mon.
day evening the Alumni and their wives will
give a banquet in his honor at the Clifton.
President Angel was for some years United
States Minister to China, and negotiated our
last treaty with that country.

An effort deserving OF the utmost success is
about to be made to get up musical concert
for the benefit OF Prof. Il. s. Harrison, by the
musicians OF the city. The orchestra will con.
tain 20 pieces, and 1t is proposed to have 100
voices in the chorus. This is the intention
at present, and if the proposition meets with
Il favorable recognition from the musical fra
ternity Of this city, who should enlist their
sympathics in behalf of the concert, it is to
testimonial to Prof. H., who has been quite
i'll for long time past, ought to rccciv" the
hearty encouragement Of our people, as the
concert will, no doubt, be one OF the great
events in musical circles here.

Road Carts.

The Gay & Son Carriage Factory is quite
busy now with the spring and summer
trade in carriages bugges, road carts, &c.
Their reputation for frst-class work grows
daily more enyiable, and we are quite GER
tain that no goods equal to theirs can be
bought anywhere for SO low a price. Their
improved road cast is selling very fast. All
the objections to carts are overcome in this
vehicle, while its wearing qualities are I'M
surpassed. No man who is buying vehicle
can afford to neglect calling on them.

Seasonable Mention.

The carpet stock at III. j. GILLEN's con-
tinues to attract a great deal of attention, and
Notwithstanding the season Is growing
apace," the sales for the week have been re-
markably large. Indeed, where so many in
ducements are offered to buyers, in the way
of choice stock of all grades of goods, the
continued low prices in spite of the recent
sharp advance in these goods in the market,
the convenience of the sewing machine to
make up carpet in few minutes or at most
hours time, it would be strange if the season
were not success. Buyers should note these
facts and call before buying anything in this
inc or in the way of curtains or window
dressing Of any kind or description.
The dress goods stock also is particularly
rich just now IN new fabrics and colors for
the summer wear. No season Of the year
produces more novelties than the present,
and at GILLEN's everything new, novel or
stylish will be found at the extreme of low
prices. Great bragains in all lines of domes-
tics, notions, hosiery, gloves, parasols and all
imaginable scasonable goods.
New stock and new prices on standard and
warranted boots and shoes. This department
has been entirely renewed this season and is
complete. And you can find no lower prices
anywhere than right here, if, indeed, you can
find prices anywhere else as low, which is not
likely.
Bargains in groceries as usual.
All requested to call.

A Time for all Things.

How easy it Is for an opportunity 10 pass
from ones grasp. How easy to sit In our
niche until the rising tide has surrounded us,
cutting off all escape, making our situation
hopeless. But there Is time for all action,
All exactly right time. There is q time in
every case Of sickness when it is not too late
for help TO be given, yet how many cases
every physician sees when that time is passed,
and every effort powerless to do good, while
Mrs Dr. Keck is in the city, may be just the
time for many Of our citizens to apply for
help before it is too late. At least this lady
has very many times been successful in
much treated, long suffering, and even abau.
doned cases.
The Doctor will be at the Clifton by ap-
pointmcnt June 81 10 9th.
