Barnum & Bailey Circus.

An immense crowd attended the
circus in this city Thursday The
surrounding country and neighboring
cities and villages were well repre-
sented. The parade at 10:30 a. M
called out thousands to view it, and
they were well repaid, for it certainly,
was we'll worth seeing. 1t required
over an half hour in passing any
given point and both sides of Main
street from st. Bernard's church, West
Main street to the high school build
ing, were crowded by people to see the
beautiful pagantry.
The many acts during the circus
were very fine indeed, being out of the
ordinary, different from anything us
ually seen at circuses. There were
so many, that it would be difficult to
particularize, for all were good, and
the universal. verdict of all who at
tended was, the best ever.
The menagerie, which was large
attracted much attention, for it was
we'll worth seeing, there being wild
animals and birds from all parts of
the world, including twenty-five ele-
plants.
1t was great day for both the old
folks as well as the children

The Land of By-and-By.

There is a land, as I've heard tell
where nothing's ever done the peo-
pie who therein do dwell, no work
have yet begun. Tomorrow" is the
watchword there, and Pretty soon"
the cry-the name of this unpleasant
land-the Land of By-and-By.
Procrastination there is king; he
rules with high hand, but makes no
laws or anything to benefit the land.
The lessons they are never learned
no use to question why; the chores
are left unfinished in the Land of By
and-By.
And if YOU put things off and say
you'll do them pretty soon, and shirk
your tasks from day to day, perhaps
some afternoon, they'll take YOU off
to this bad land-no friend will heed
your cry-and there is no Tomorrow
in the Land of By-and-By.

I've spent lot o life, | guess;

Yet, though I've led a merry rout,
In one thing | have quite missed out

And oftentimes at carbarets
At others longingly l gaze
| never danced the turkey trot
L never learned the turkey trot.
All, how | envy those trotteurs-
Theirs is happy lot;
The chairs and tables cleared away.
They gather in a brave array
To do the turkey trot:
While |, with many vain regret.
Have overlooked this single bet
| cannot dance the turkey trot-
| never danced the turkey trot.
The bunny hug l fain would try,
Or yet the chicken reel,
And other steps and figures, too,
Based on the barnyard or the zoo,
With primitive appeal;
But | must be wall flower still,
Because | fear | never will
Learn how to dance the turkey trot-
All, me! To dance the turkey trot!

(EdgertOn RepOrtef.)
Close to a dozen of Edgerton busi-
ness men are sorry to the extent OF
5000 for cashing checks for a man
with whom they had no more than a
speaking acquaintance, on Friday of
last week. The man was almost to-
tai stranger to most of them, though
ne had been around town for several
weeks, making his home at P. l.. Pier
ce's on Swift street Having got hold
of a check book he proceeded to write
in amounts, mostly under twenty dol
lars, and forging the name Of P. L.
Pierce to each of them. About nine
O'Clock that evening he was seen near
the depot at GAINESVILLE which was the
last trace of Jim the Penman" Mar
shall Springer has SO far been able to
ind. 1t is also claimed that with his
other crime he robbed the Pierce resi-
dence in the absence of the family of
few dollars taken from Mr. Pierce's
purse.

store of which any city of 10000 in

Reference is made to the Clyman
Cash Store, of which Mr.. Herman Le-
kachman is the proprietor
1t will be remembered that early
last winter, Mr.. Lekachman suffered
a severe loss by fire, when his store
building and entire contents were de-
stroyed In an effort to save the
property, Mr.. Lekachman was severly
burned, in fact to such an extent that
he was patient in hospital for
some time.
Immediately following the fire a
local company was formed to erect a
building for the store and the propri-
etor has secured a long term lease of
the same The building, erected at a
cost of about $4,000, was recently
completed and is now occupied. It is
one OF the prettiest and most modern
store buildings in this section of the
state and is indeed a credit to the
prosperous little village of Clyman.
Mr.. Lekachman announces the for
NAL grand opening of his store COM

in the northwest can boast of a store
as nice.
