certs of the highest class Will be generously
patronized, and / have sought TO engage
for this season the best that is offered:
The first concert OF the season will be
given early in November by Anton Van
Rooy, of the Conried Metropolitan Opera
Company, and Walter Damroscn, formerly
conductor of German opera for the Grau
Opera Company and now conductor OF the
New York Symphony Orchestra. The pro-
gramme will be composed entirely OF seiec-
tions from the Wagner music dramas. and
'Parsifal,' the production OF which at the
Metropolitan Opera House at Christmas
time will be the principal musical event
of the year. Mr.. Damrosch not only Will
play the piano part, but also will accom-
pany the recital with explanatory remarks
between the numbers
1.-The second concert Will be- given on
Dec. by Mime. Suzanne Adams and Leo
Stern Nine. Adams has never sung in

ANXIOUS FOR A CHANNEL.
People OF Pulaski and starke Hunt
Up the Old Records.

WINAMAC. Ind, Sept: 16-Charles Pc
ters, an attorney of Starke county, and ex-
Judge George Burson, OF this place are at
work TO have a survey made for ship
canal from the south shore OF Lake Mich
igan to the Wabash river neac Loeans-
port. which is the nearest point anu about
seventy miles distant in an air lire Lewis
Cass ordered a survey when ne was secre-
tary OF war under President jackson. and
In 1881 Mr. Stansberry. United States en-
gineer, made a report, which still stands
as to it's feasibility. In 1S75 the survey
was repeated oy MAJOR Gillespie. of the
United States engineer corps. He DEM
onstrated more fully the advantages as
well as the practicability of the canal en-
terprise, and showed among other things
that there is fall o. seventy feet from
Lake Michigan to the headwaters of the
Wabash river. and that the proposed water
way could be constructed for a compara-
lively small sum of money owing 10 the
physical conditions OF the country which
Is level and sandy. IL is said, too, that
such a canal would shorten the waterway
from Lake Michigan TO the Gulf of Mex
leo nearly $50 miles i'm comparison with
the Chicago canal. and that IL is a work
OF such Importance and magnitude that it
ought to be undertaken by Congress
Mr.. Stansberry. in 1881. estimated the dis
tance TO be 157 miles. the number of locks
thirty-seven and the cost, S39t1 $50. He fol-
lowed the valley of the ST. Joseph to the
valley of the Tippeeanoe. thence TO its
junction with the Wabash river The
second route started from Michigan City
by the way OF Trail creek TO the Tippecanoe
valley. and was found to be us miles long
with forty-four locks necessary and the es-
timated cost was S3.446.479 The third route
was 10 start from Michigan City by the
Little Calumet, thence down Crooked creek
TO the Kankakee river. The fourth route
was to Wolfe lake, from the Grand Calu-
met, thence to the Kankakee river. The
fifth was from the St. Joseph river into the
valley of the Kankakee, thence by way of
the Big Monon creek through Pulaski
county and to the .Tippecanoe river near
Monticello. The cost was estimated TO be
S3.94l.7s7.
1t is not believed that the construction
OF such a canal can in any way involve the
lowering of the water of Lake Michigan.
Several years ago Prof. j. l.. Campbell of
Wabash College. who made n survey of the
country IL would traverse, asserted that
the summit level must be fifty feet above
the waters of Lake Michigan and the sum-
NIT supply must be received from the Kan
kakee river.

EXCLUSIVE NEW ATTRACTION.
Large Number of Novel Features with
Barnum & BafIey's show.

Barnum d Baf1ey's show.
There is general expectancy that the
Barnum & Bailey show will. in the mat
ter of size, more than ever merit its title,
"The Greatest Show on Earth" The fact
that it requires at least double the number
Of cars for its transportation used before
by any show substantiates the statement.
but aside from its bgness it will exhibit
many new and exclusive features which
are, after ALL the things which make the
show attractive. So numerous are these
features that it is impossible, i'm any limited
space, to name them all, but few of them
are Of such striking excellence that they
may be mentioned. Among them is the
great spectacle prelude with which the per-
formance begins, which Is said, without the
employment of extravagant language, to be
the most rich and costly spectacle ever pre-
sented to the American public. 1t employs
the greatest number of people ever seen
in display of that sort who are garbed
in the most costly attire ever used either
upon stage or in the arena in this coun-
try.
Continuing, the press agent says:
Another feature will be the magnificent
display OF horses. Among these horses will
be the three hundred head purchased by
show, during the past winter in the New
York live stock market which the New
York Herald, in its market reports, said
was the largest order ever placed in any
horse market in the world. The cost of
these horses in this one order was sl00,500
or an average of 1885 each. In addition TO
these 800 horses there are some 200 more
which include the horses used in the arena,
thoroughbreds of almost ever species. A
list of star circus celebrities so long that
il is unnamable fills the enormous pro-
gramme. Any one of them might be Sc
lected for individual mention and be well
worthy of it. Perhaps the most unique per-
formance given by any one of them is Cy
clio, the Kinetic Demon. This young man
tempts fate twice daily in manner which
shows that he holds his life at a trifiing
value, no matter how much money he may
receive for the act. OF the well-nigh mirac-
ulous performances given on bicycle that

Adrian, Mimi, June Phillip Doyle
OF this place says he has found out a
medicine that will cure any case Of
Kidney Trouble. As Mr.. Doyle was
himself very sick for a long time with
this painful disease. and is now, ap-
parently, as we'll as ever, his statement
carries the confirmation of personal ex-
perience.
The remedy that cured Mr.. Doyle Is
called DOdd'S Kidney Pills.
In speaking of the pills, Mr.. Doyle
says:
In regard to Dodd's Kidney Pills,
they are certainly a wonderful medi-
cine-the best that have ever taken.
Il was very bad for long time with
Kidney Trouble and could get nothing
to help me till 1 tried DOdd's Kidney

Il can heartily recommend Dodd's

ing with Kidney Trouble, for they
made me all right.
Il have advised several of my
friends to try them, and not one has
been disappointed"

the lookout for a good marching
melody upon which to construct a regi-
mental war song. From some unknown
quarter came a verse;
John Browns body lies a moldering in
the grave,
| His soul is marching on.
Glory. glory, Hallelujah.
In searching for a fitting tune they
adapted an old camp-meeting melody
sung by the colOred Methodists at the
Martha's Vineyard camp-meetings to
the words
Come, brothers, will you meet US?
The song took at once, and the sim
plicity of the chorus, with its swing
and lilt made it at once popular. The
verses that followed were improvised
from time to time. The death of Col.
Ellsworth, which occurred at that time,
occasiOned the verse;
We lament the death of Col. Els
worth,
And his pets (his Zouaves) will meet
him on the way.
The second tenor of the quartet was
short. broad-shouldered Scotchman
named John Brown. When he put on
his knapsack for the first time. with
his red lined Overcoat rolled on its top.
he looked so top-heavy that the bows
laughed at him. But quick-witted
and good-natured, he retorted by
marching up and down, singing
