Hagenbeck- Wallace Will
Be Here Tuesday.

All of the animal acts of the
Carl Hagenbeck and Great Wal.
lace Circus are imported to this
country from the famous Hagen.
beck animal farm at Hamburg,
Germany. There are many new
animal faces with the big show
this year which comes to Opel.
ousas Sept. 80, for performances
at 2 and s p. m. and a parade al
10 o'clock in the morning.
The baboon is probably the
clio sest approach to the human
race DR.. Darwin believes that
these little animals are really the
missing links and his research
work which took place in the
Hagenbeck Winter-quarters in
Germany covered a period of
twenty years.
There are two troupes of ba-
boon actors with the Hagenbeck-
Wallace Circus this season, one
is handled by Mons. De Marc
and the other by Mons. Felix.
These little hairy fugitiyes have
been taught to ride bicycles, uni
cycles, etc. They are dressed
up as human beings and eat at
the dining tent with their train
ers, using the knife and folk
better than a good many children.
They even surpass human be-
ings in some cases for they wash
their teeth after each meal.
One of the monks has his pri-
vate automobile. He rides to
the stage where he performs.
Looks at his watch and then goes
through his performance which
consists of dancing with several
members of the opposite sex,
playing on a musical saxaphone,
trick bicycle work and a little
acrobatic exercise. The monk
does not like the latter and he can
only be made to do enough to
keep in good trim.
The twenty-six educated
monkeys with the circus put on
a regular circus Of their own and
there are few feats performed
by their kin folks which they
can not duplicate. Before the
monkeys came to America from
Germany they performed before
Kaiser Wilhelm and his family
in the Royal Palace at Berlin.

DUBLIN IS SMALL
ALSO PROSPEROUS
Town Is Center of One of
Best Farming Districts
in Wayne County.

DUBLIN, Ind, May 24.-Dublin is
one OF the several small but substan-
tial farming community towns in
Wayne cou' y. The 700 inhabitants are
for the most part farm laborers, me-
chanics working in factories in and
near Dublin, railway employees, and
retired business men and farmers. The
town is enjoying one of the most pros
porous periods of it's history.
Trade conditions are very good, the
bankers report, and the prosperous
condition of the inhabitants is reflect
ed in the appearance of the town. The
town supports seven churches, and has
very good high school and elemen-
tary school. Gas is used for lighting
purposes.
Cement sidewalks adorn the princi
pal streets of the town, and more are
planned. The streets may be oiled
this season, a misunderstanding of the
meaning of the new law on this sub,
ject having halted the oiling of the
streets for the time being.
The Mason sealing wax factory, a
swing and lawn furniture factory and
a tanning and grain separating mill
factory make up the manufactures OF
Dublin. The T. H. I. & E. traction
company and Pennsylvania railway
give excellent shipping facilities. Dub.
lin has steadily grown the past few
years. 1t was established before the

country are given market through the
