THERE are three circular farms, each touching the other. In the centre is a >piece of land containing exactly one acre, and Its bounderies are termed by the arcs of tbe three circles. How much land Is contained In each circle ? To get a diagram, take a piece of money and draw three circles, letting each one just touch tbe other. ONE of the great events at the Chi oigo Opera House in the near f Jture will be a production of the dramatiza­ tion of Haggard's great novel "She,' According to the eastern papers where the piece has met with great success, tbe wlered and imaginative quality of the story has been admirably trans fered to the stage. The scenery is described as very gorgeous, tbe music as quaint and original and abundant end tbe whole piece Is said to be a novelty of the most unusual character.

No Yard in this or adjoining counties keep a largar or choicer stock of Lumber, and builders will do well to call and get their prices before buying. Read their advertisement In another column carefully.

Again wiPiBay let there be a good attendance, A, PARKER, having bought • hotel atJSAUJUt&e, Iowa, willjjsell hfif very stock, in this village, at Public Auction on Saturday of next week, March 3d. This is no sham sale, but everything will be sold without re­ serve, as Mr. Parker is obliged to be in Iowa by March 15, to take possession et his property. His stable comprises some fine carriage and work horses, and his carriages, busses aud other stock are first class in every particu­ lar. Xo ene who wishes anything in this line should fail to attend the sale on the 3d. /THE friends, of John Blake were fceoiewhat alarmed at his strange actions on Friday morning last. They watched him harness his cow and at­ tempt to milk his horse, and when he took a pall of water and a tin eup and passed It around, Insisting that all should take a drink they immediately summoned a jufy and were about te try dim for lunacy. But when he struck up and sung "Where Is my bey to-night," the mystery was explained. A ten pound boy had arrived at blB home the night before, and no ere talamed him for being a little excited, rather and son are deing well. PREPARATIONS for tbe annual spec­ tacular burlesque at the Chicago Op­ era House are progressing finely and a spectacle Is promised far outrivaling last Summer's attraction. Captain Alfred Thompson, whe designs the eostumes and scenery, was In Chicago last week consulting Manager Hender­ son in regard to miner details and the company is being gathered from the best burlesque talent la the country. Last summer'scast was weak In many respects. Tbe many bl.misbes in scenery found in the 1 »st summer's production will be entirely overcome, the management having secured the service* of Mr. Wm. Veegtlin and Mr. Wm. Crane, two of the foremost art­ ists engaged in this line of work In America. It is not the purpose of the management to put the piece upon tbe road after Its run at the Chicago Op­ era House. Tbe annual summer ex­ travaganza is written and prepared for this theatre alone, as after a run of that kind such a piece sutlers by the mutilation usually occurring on tbe read, TAKE NOTICE.
