WANATAH-While at Wanatah last
week we were pleased to notice the great
changes for the better, that have taken
place at that station. Instead of having
one small, dirty house kept for public en-
tertainment By red-headed, white-liv-
cred, black-hearted, ill-bred aboitionist,
there are now two convenient and we'll
regulated hotels, kept by gentlemen who
treat their guests decently, and make
them feel at home Those who have to
stop off at Wanatah frequently, have rea-
son to be very thankful for these changes.
Other Improvements made by the rail
roads that cross there make it much more
pleasant than it used to be.

SEVERAL semi-demOnstrations, result
ing in the use Of much profanity aud 9th
ct indecent language, and one genuine
case OF knock down and drag-out fighting
occurred last Saturday on our streets,
much to the annoyance Of all good citi-
zens. The fight took place in one of the
most public places of our most public
9 reefs, and was witnessed by an Immense
crowd of people, who were evidently very
nearly out of business just at that time
The fight wa. bloody and disgusting
without any apparent cause or visible re-
sult, other than the complete 'batterment'
of the parties engaged, both of whom were
strangers to US, and seemed to be fighting
for amusement. which result We should
say they achieved most satisfactorily, il

ROMEO ON a RAMPAGE.-We are In
formed that on last Saturday night, the
moster elephant, Romeo, belonging to n.
Forepaugh's menagerie, became restless and
started in search Of water with which to
allay his thirst. They keep him chained
for appearance sake, but Romeo has long
since learned to disregard such weak ap-
purtenances. The monster started in a
g Decline for the back yard Of one of our
citizens, crushing fences and small trees
like egg shells. Coming..to the cistera his
elephantship commenced pumping without
success, whereupou said pump and fix
lures were torn up and thrown several
rods From thence Romeo struck out
for the river, where he RECALLED himself in
high glee.

Snow DAYS." in country tow us, may

SHOW DAYS, Ia country tow us, may
be truthfully denominatsd the bigges
days of the season. Last Saturday
was NO exception to the general rule. AS
early as 6 O'Clock, a. IN, teams laden with
expectant heads of families and excited
urchins began pouring into town by high
ways and byways, filling the streets, stores
and shops long before the time adj
vertised for the arrival of the circus and
menagerie Owing TO the extreme heat,
and the loss Of many of their draught
horses, the grand entree was postponed
until late hour. and finally proved fiz-
zle, to the intense disgust of those who
had travelled many weary, hot dusty miles
t. witness it, The show finally opened,
affording many an opportunity to pay out
their last hard earned stamp. y casual
glance at the crowd in the tent revealed
the fact that it was the same crowd that
attended circusses when our grandfithers
were boys Ginger bread flowed freely,
and river water with Niue kshaw ice in 1t,
was kindly furnished by the accommoda-
ting ushers at the nominal sum of 10 cents
per glass And it was the same circus.
The educated horse danced, the mule
threw the darkey, and the clown excited
the risibes of his admirers with jokes of
We olden tire. The elephant Romeo gave
performance after the evenings exhibit
ton, which was not down on the bills.
His rations having probably been dealt
out to him in pittances not suited to his
tastes, he started on a foragiDg expedition
and brought up on the premises of leu
tonic resident, nan. cd Herman whose bliss
ful dreams of father!and were suddenly
brought to an end. Hearing noise in
his garden, which he supposed to come
from some predatory bovine, he rushed
out in disAcbMe for the purpose of serving
a writ of summary ejectment, when he
was brought in such close proximity 10
his highness from Asia as to cause each
part cular hair of his head to stand erect.
He hastily offered up all the prayers he
had ever heard, in language and make up
such as the elephant could probably un-
derstand as we'll as the one to whom they
were directed. 1t required but little time
to do much damage, as the elephants feet
are each about as large as an onion bed.
He was finally captured by his keeper.
