CoTToN shippers are requested to refer to
the card Of Hearne s. Co, commission house

speak for his house liberal share,of the

The Great international circus, Menage-
RE aud Museum. lat

= - - 1919
On the nineteenth Of this month, the
great International Circus, Menagerie and
Museum, which is said to have twenty-six
cages Of animals, and to be one Of the most
extensive and complete shows travelling,
win exhibit in this city. The following
complimentary notice Of this establishments
is taken from Missouri daily paper
According to announcement, this levia-
than exhibition appeared in grand process
sion near 10 o'clock. The display was very
ereditable, introducing a number Of living
animals, etc. At 1 o'clock the afternoon
performance was given, and at the night
exhibition took place. The display of liv-
ing animals was good all the specimens
were in fine condition, and many we're ex-
tremcly rare. The performance of Prof.
johnson, in his department, was especially
thrilling and effective. He appeared as
much ct home among the large KafIer lions
as we generally feel about IL o'clock ON Sat
urday night. with the continual cry for
copy dinging in our ears.
The circus entertainment began with a
pageant In two circles, introducing the en-
tire company elegantly costdmed, elephant,
camel, etc. This was really brilliant pre-
lude to the excellent circus performance that
followed. Where all was 50 good, It is
difficult to designate any particular feature
as best. The riding Of Frederick Barclay
was simply immense. He executed both
his acts upon bareback steeds. His repre-
sentation Of the Wild Comanche chief was
true to nature, and vivid and thrilling
performance. The Leslies in their gym
nsstic feass were capital. The Lee children
are remarkable little artists, and do all they
undertake with an case and grace that
stamp them the pupils Of an experienced
master Levere shone brilliantly in the
excellent tumbling act and Ward upon
the aerial cord was the best we have ever
seen. Nile. Josephine rides with an
ease and grace that bespcaks the true artistic.
Tho clowns, Mcguire and Ward, were funny
without being vulgar. Tho music, under
tho direction % Professor kaufman, was
good, and IN fact the entire entertainment
was a brilliant success. The Great Inter
national Is ccrtainiy one Of the very best
shows that has ever visited Sedalia, and we
commend il IS first class in all ITS depart.
mcnts. One thing that struck as was the
excellent department Of the men; all were
quiet and gentlemanly. They arrived in
our city from Versailles on Saturday, and II
we had not seen the long retinuo Of wegons
and cageS coming into the cny, we certain
" should not have known that the big
show was among rs. Every employee Of the
company, whom our business brought as in
contact with, We found to be gentlemen in
tho truest sense 81 the term. Large crowds
attended the exhibition afternoon and
night, and the universal verdict was, that
tho International was one Of the best shows
over IN Sedalia.

MAJOR PURNELL, it has been reported,
left the other day for Washington City.
The report has no foundation. He is in
Eastern Texas, attending to his private in
terests. We presume it was started by
disappointed office-seeker, who, some time
since, had engaged his clerical force to take
charge of the United States AEarshal's
office.

The total amount Of cotton shipped from
Austin from the first Of September to the
seventh Of November, inclusive, has been
1884 bales. OF this, much the largest guam
lity has passed into the hands Of merchants
and cotton buyers here. The following
figures show the Influences that control this
cotton beyond here through direct ship
ments: Austin ships t151 bales; San Mar
cos, Al; New Braunfels, 2l7; BIanco "a F.;
Round Rock, 0 Brookrilies 8; Ba2dad, a
Georgetown, 4 ); Florence, B.
Cotton shippers here send their cotton di-
rect to Houston, Galveston, New Orleans
and New York. That already shipped has
gone as follows: va the Central to Hous-
ton, 1884 beyond Houston, 1915 bales, Ella
the Direct Navigation Company; and 70s
sia the Galveston Railroad
Through shipments from St. Louis and
other Northwestern cities are on the increase,
and large transfers are being made here for
points far in the interior. Within the last
month 1000 barrels Of flour have been re-
ceived here, or transfer direct to San Anto-
MO. It may also be mentioned as an interest
ing fact that within the last month, twenty
car loads Of apples, or 5000 barrels have
been received direct from st. Louis. Near
ly every barrel Of flour received here now,
comes by direct shipments from st. Louis,
Kansas City, and other points in the North
west.
It can also be mentioned as favorable
symptom that cattle are now being shipped,
in quite large numbers, direct from Austin
to Northern markets, Last week twenty
car loads OF fat cattle left the depot here on
fast time for Chicago, and the evidences are
that this class Of shipments win increase.
The lumber trade is undiminished.g It is
one unceasing flow Of lumber from the
pineries northeast Of Houston, along the
line Of the Great Northern Road, to this
point. On Monday morning, alone, twenty
two car leads, or 10, 600 feet of lumber
were discharged at the freight depot.
There are large shipments in hides con-
stantly leaving, and the incoming frelghts
in all lines are just now very heavy. We
shall try and keep the public posted from
time to time in regard to these interesting
items concerning the trade of Austin

II4IaRANTs.-About two hundred inn
migrants came in on the train Saturday
night, most Of whom were from Tennessee.
The number Of immigrants pouring into
this section of the State, both by the cars
and by wagons, has increased wonderfully
the last few weeks. Some little improve
ment has been noticed already in applica-
tons for land, and the probability is that
moro land win change hands in Western
Texas in the next four months than has
changed hands in the last eighteen months.

very briskly, and at an early hour our
