Monkey Loops the LOOP
Peter, the Great, a Golden Baboon
with the Big Circus.

Peter, the Great, is the name
given Golden baboon-one of
the largest in captivity, with the
Yankee Robinson show. exhibits
in Extra. September 2, 1907. This
monkey performs one of the most
marvellous feats of daring known.
He actually loops the loop in an
automobile, as gracefully as the
best Chauffeur of the land can guide
his big gasoline machines. This
act was brought to this country by
Senior Bartholi, the noted Spaniard,
especially for the Buchanan
Amusement company, which con-
trolls a number OF the larger
vaudeville theaters and summer
gardens of this country and who
have the direction of the tour of
the Yankee Robinson shows. He
has appeared in all the big hippo
dromes of the country aud is taken
on the road for the first time this
season. The act is one to appall
and calls for the greatest demon
stratiou and applause every time
the act is presented. Peter, the
Great will perform this wonderful
feat during the performance of the
circus at Extra, Monday, Sept. I'd,
one day only.

Additional Extra
REV. H. L. WISSLER
Of Cincinnati, Iowa, called here to
Perform Last Sad Rites or the
Remains of Mrs. Bush.

Rev. Wissler was called to Extra
to say few words to the living
over the dead body of dear old
Mrs. Bush. Many years ago the
Rev. 81. L. Wissler moved to this
city with two little motherless boys.
They had lost their mother short
time before, while they we're young
and needed mothers attention.
With tenderness, this good WON an
assumed the task, those boys she
we'll cared for without complaint.
Time rolled on until a better
adjustment of the PASTORS home
matters prevailed; and on until the
Reverend with his family were
called to other fields. Upon leav-
ing Extra, Mrs. Bush placed a
sealed letter in the hand of her
pastor with the Injunction mot to
open it until he had arrived at his
destination" This he did and
found it to contain her only wish
and that was for him to agree to
preach her funeral sermon at her
death. He wrote her, promising to
do 80 "at any sacrifice" That
pledge brought the Reverend here
at this time. The kind cid lady
has gone to her reward, following
her esteemed husband, who passed
over the river only few months
before. This duty of the living to
the dead when put into effect is a
beautiful attribute of mans best
nature

Christian Church Notes
BY THE PASTOR

The church has decided to in.
stall furnace this fall. The con.
tract has been awarded to the
Johnson Mercantile Company.
John Porter, N. p. Christensen
and Charles Hawk were elected
deacons last Sunday to fill vacan-
cies caused by removals.
The pastor notes with satisfac-
ton the gradual increase in attend
ance at the various services. Let
this continue until all apparent in
difference on the part of members
will have disappeared and every
Lords Day witness a house filled
with reverent worshipers.
The subject next Sunday morn.
ing will be "Christian Victory"
In the evening the last of the
union services will be held in the
church when Rev. Howard of the
NJ. E. Church breaches the sermon.
A full house is desired. The
Young Peoples meeting preceding
will be led by the pastor.
The Ladies Aid will meet at the
parsonage Friday at 200 P. NJ.

Carroll County Teachers

Last week County Superintendent,
BarlooD, conducted the July examina-
lions Il i there being but sixteen
present. i At the June exam
ination sixty two took the examina-
ton and of that number Is received
second grade certificates, q third and
the other II failed. OF those who
failed ten took the examination again
last week. X x The indications
are that there will be a shortage of
teachers in the county this fall, of
somewhere near fifty. The shortage
is not due to the failures in examina-
lions X X the number of new
teachers making applications is much
smaller than usual and in q large
measure is due to the wages paid. The
male teacher is practically eliminated
from the teaching force of this county.
The boys can sell their labor in a
better market than they can find in a
school room. Mr.. Barloon fears there
will be great trouble in getting
teachers for all the schools in the
Sentinel.

UNITED BRETHREN
Conference at Des Moines September
18th. Two Hundred Delegates
Will Attend.

The forty-frst annual conference
of the United Brethren church will
convene at Des Moines, September
25th. The western half of the state
will be represented.
The question of consolidation
with the Congregational and Meth
odist Protestant churches will
come up for a hearing. Three
years ago in Chicago delegates
from each of the three denomina-
tons. A meeting of these general
will be held within the next two
years to determine a method by
which the voice of the membership
in each denomination will be
heard. The congregational gen
eral body will hold their meeting
in October, 1907, the Professionals in
May 1908, the Brethren in 1909.
Whatever may be done at this con-
ference, a union of the three cannot
be made for two years. Rev. Cronk
is of the opinion that if an express
sion of sentiment is secured from
the delegates in September, it will
be very favorable to the union.
Churches in all eastern Iowa held
their annual in March last and
were greatly in favor of con-
solidation.
