Everybody in Christendom has heard and read about Wallace, the fierce man eating lion which escaped from his cage iu New York some few years ago and held the city in a reign of terror for sixty hours, when he was finally found in a stable where he had killed and partly devoured a horse. The authori­ ties wanted to shoot him, but the dar ing*Captain Bocaccio, of the Bostock- Ferari force of trainers, begged to be allowed to attempt his capture, and finally succeeded by rope lassoes. Three weeks later he entered bis cage in an at­ tempt to train him, and was torn to pieces. Since then three other trainers have perished beneath his mighty paws. It is said he killed four men before he was brought to this country. He is, without question, the most ferocious and bloodthirsty of his kind ever seen in captivity, but at the same time the handsomest speciman of black-maned African lion ever captured. Time and again he has been doomed to death, bat each and every time his magnificently majestic appearance has saved him. He will be seen here with the Bostock- Ferari Mighty Midway Shows at the Elks Carnival at Elgin, week commen­ cing August 25. Mother Always Kept It Handy.

Speaking of the -encampment of the Third regiment at Springfield, Colonel Fisher said: * "I had good reason to be proud of my regiment. They were not only well trained in army tactics and discipline, but both in camp and in Springfield they were well behaved and orderly. The good appearance the com­ mand was a matter of especial comment in Springfield and Governor Yates specially mentioned the soldierly bear­ ing of the men. I regard it as the most successful encampment the Third has ever enjoyed." Birth* ifi McHenry Count;.

The weather during the post week has generally been moderately warm, and, except for occasional showers, dry and favorable for farm .work. Wheat harvest is completed and the threshing is well advanced. The average yield is good, but it is generally better in the central district than elsewhere.' . Rye is generally a good crop. Oat harvest is practically completed in the central and southern districts, and is generally well advanced in the northern district There has been considerable loss of oats by lodging in the northern and central districts, but notwithstanding this loss the yield will be fair to good. Corn continues to do well in the northern and central districts. Over a large part of the southern district, however, the need of rain begins to be felt.. In a few localities the crop appears to have been injured considerably by the drouth. The average condition of the crop throughout the state, however, is good. Pastures are becoming poor in parts of the southern district as a result of the dry weather, but over the rest of the state they are generally in good con­ dition. Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea. "About six years ago for the first time in my life I had a sudden and se­ vere attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "I got temporary relief but it came back again and again, and for six long years I have suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians' prescriptions and treatment without avail. ^Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day I happened to see an advertise- mentof Chamberlain'k Colic,Cholera and Diarihoea Eeinwly with a testimonial of a man who bud been cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The re­ sult was worderful.
