THE Conservative, for over year past,
has been, at irregular though frequent in
tervals, pelting the BULLETIN with the adj
DURATION to "Kap cool" in allusion to an
photographed error, which, escaping the
proof-reader, appeared in our columns;
yet, because we returned the compliment
in kind few weeks ago, our neiglbor in
dulges in what very much resembles y
whine over the "dishOnorabe" course of
the BULLETIN, in attacking its OrthO-
graphical eccentricitles, and caps the eli
max of impudence by saying that it never
attacks typographical mistakes We as
sure our neighbor that its sniveling cant
and hypocricy about this trifling matter are
even more contemplate than its habitual
demagogueism in politics.

! PIoNEERs:-A number of the early res
idents of Buchanan county held meeting
at the office of Ex-Mayor Roszell on Satur
day last, to organize an Old Settlers Asso-
citation. 1t was resolved, also, to give the
Society good start, by holding a basket
picnic, somewhere in this vicinity, on the
9th day of September, to which all who
have been residents of Buchanan county
for the past twenty years, with their
families, are invited.
The following officers and committee
were chosen: President, 0. II. p. Ros-
zcll Marshal, B. c. Hale, of Littleton
Committee of Arrangements: S. Sherwood
II. Sparkling, T. J. Marinus, Z. Miller, J.
S. Woodward, and O. H. P Roszcll
The programme is, for all who design to
participate, to meet at the Court House at
10 O'Clock of the morning of the 9th Of
September, and from thence proceed to
the grounds selected by the committee.
The occasion will be one of great inter
est and pleasure to the pioneer settlers of
the county, and will doubtless be en-
braced as an opportunity for recounting
old trials and privations, bringing up re-
minlscences, pleasant and sorrowful, re-
newing old acquaintance and greeting old
friends. We hope that all who are en-
titled to participate will not fail to put in
their appearance and contribute their
share to the pleasure of the social gather
ing.

THE PRIMARIES. A number OF caucus
notices will be found in this issue, and we
take this occasion to again call upon all
the Republicans of the county to turn out
to these meetings. If you care to have Il
county ticket worthy to be elected and
sure of success you must take the first
step at the primary meeting. Take an
honest, untrammeled view of the situation
and give your support only to such men
as your best judgment commcnds as honest
and qualified. Do not support any man
simply because he importunes you to do
so. If you are not perfect y willing to
trust him with your own private interests,
do not consent to put him in charge of
public interests. Again we say, attend
the caucuses, and act intelligently and con-
scientiously

/ The CIRCUs--A full canvas greeted
the first exhibition of the Great 1nterna
| tional Circus and Menagcrie last evening
The performances were viewed with great
interest throughout, and many novel fea-
tues were introduced, which, together
With prompt and systematic change from
one scene to another, gave more than or
binary Zest to the entertainment The
grand entrance was fine, and comprised
train Of thirty animals richly caparlsoned.
The gentlemen and lady riders who wound
i'll fantastic figures about the ring, first
in walk, then in rapid gallop, elected
general commentator.
Of the great variety of acts, the most
noticeable were the gymnastic evolutions
of the Davenport Brothers, the new and
wonderful feats OF the Lee Children,
Harry Lee as a bareback rider, the ma
neuvres of "a trained elephant and the dash
ing startling, and daring performances
of the Stanley Brothers on the trapeze.
These are justly considered among the
finest living gymnasts, combining ease of
motion with the most powerful feats of
strength.
The jugglery acts of the Lee Children
two girls and one bOy-was remarkable,
and drew rounds of the most hearty APP
| plausc from the audience. One feature
| alone of their acting would give them the
reputation which they now enjoy. The
girls are supported on the shoulders of the
boy, and in this position all three execute
a series of jugglery acts with their hands,
one spinning plates on sticks, and each of
the others keeping their brass bells NOV
| ing in the air. The extreme youth of the
4 performers highlens the interest in the
/ act.
Harry Lee, as Il bareback rider, made a
timewOrn act exciting by turning somer-
saults upon the back of his steed while
the latter was going at a full gallop This
Is something seldom accomplished, and in
view of the fact that it is alone considered
good Craftsmanship to ride a bare back
horse at a fair speed, it may be imagined
what skill is required to leap into the air
and, turning a somersault, alight squarely
upon the back of a fastmoving animal.
Fred. Barclay, in wild Indian ride,
gained universal favor The trained ele
plant was a novelty At the bidding of
his keeper MI. johnson, he walks upon
three legs, upon his knees, waltzes, and
steps across the body of his master with
the greatest caution.
In the Mcnagerie department several
curious animals are exhibited, which to-
gether with host of birds, monkeys, and
other quadrupeds, render this part of the
show place from which instruction may
be CLEANED.
The Circus is good one, and presents
an array of attractions, both new and old,
that can not fail to amuse. CldrkSburg

Cedar Falls.

II was our good fortune to spend II few
hours in our enterprising sister city above
named. last Monday, and we can say truly
and sincerely that our visit s most en-
joyable and satisfactory, Scarcely had
we alighted when mine host Burr, of the
Carter House, took us in charge, and, first
setting before us an excellent dinner, then
installed us in his roomy basket phaeton
behind a fine horse, placed the lines in our
hands and babe us do the town, which in
junction we forthwith proceeded to obey.
We spent very pleasant hour in viewing
the tasteful homes of the solid people of
Cedar Falls, with their wealth of foliage
and flowers surrounding, after which we
drove to the Orphans Home, winch is sit
uated about a mile northwest of the city,
upon breezy emnence, commanding a
splendid view of the rich farming country
that environs the town. The building,
though not of pretentious architecture, is
nevertheless of imposing proportions, and
with its well kept grounds and surround
ing buildings forms prominent feature
in the landscape. Entering, we had the
pleasure of greeting an old acquaintance
and fellow citizen of Mitchell county, II.
f. Tucker, the Superintendent of the in
stitution, to whose conscientious care and
attention, with the assistance of his cs-
Unable lady, its present state of efficiency
is almost wholly due. We found that Mr..
Tucker has the unlimited confidence and
esteem of the people of Cedar Falls, and
our own observation of the Home, though
it is vacation time, and our visit was brief,
convinced us that no public institution in
Iowa Is in better or more appropriate
hands. The boys and girls we saw had
happy, contented look; and Mr.. Tucker
informed us that the school has recently
graduated some really excellent and sue
cessful teachers, who are earning a good
living and getting reputable and sue
cessful start in the world
Returning to town, we called at the
Gazette office and spent an agreeable sea-
son chatting with our friends, the brothers
Snyder The Gazette is one of the nota-
BILE and successful institutions of Cedar
Falls, ana we were glad to see that the
people of that city appreciate in the right
way the energy and ability with which it
is managed
In the evening we went to the fine
Phoenix Hall, and found large audience
of the elite of our sister city assembled to
listen to Flotow's latest opera, "The Spec
tre," performed by the Redpath Opera
Company of Boston. We despair by any
description of which we are capable, of
doing justice to the excellence and finish
of this performance, and will, therefore,
not attempt it. Suffice it to say, it was a
musical feast not often set before the peo-
pie of western towns, and worth any
reasonable sacrifice for genuine lover of
music to hear.
The midnight train on the Central bore
us homeward, where we arrived in safety,
more than repaid and satisfied with our
brief visit to our western neighbor.

cleaning his revolver, and when replacing
the cylinder, one of the chambers, by
some means, exploded, sending the bullet
into the middle finger of his right hand,
crushing the bone and making severe
and painful wound. 1t was thought, at
first, that amputation of the finger would
be necessary, but Mr. Currier is now do
ing well, and will save his finger. The
bullet did not go through the finger but
was flattened against the bone.
