Howe's great circus, menagcrie and
mardi-gras carnival will be in our city
on the Goth instant.
If you do not wish to see the circus,
you should not fail to see the most com
plete menagerie that is now in existence,
which accompanies Howe's great exhi-
bition.
Mr.. Jacob A. Price who has made an

age in the city, hands us the following
rs the correct number as taken by him:
White males, G35 white females, 72S,
total white, 1.3G3. Colored males, 273;
colored females. 1913, total colored 566.
Grand total, 1929.
Mr.. Robert F. Waddell writes us that
he has made arrangements with Messrs.
Bullene, Moores Il Emery, of Kansas
City. to sell goods for them. The house
is Il first class one in every respect, and
MIR. Waddell being a No. 1 salesman,
we look tor the connection to be one of
advantage to both parties.
BY a letter received from a subscriber
IN central Texas we learn that rye is
headed out. Irish potatoes an inch in
diameter, corn 4 to 5 inches high. cab
bage beginning to head, and deer AMI
wild turkeys IT'LL you can't rest" Ext
with all this it takes the Intelligencer to
complete his happiness.
A team of Mr.. Macsy's hauled a load
OF coal to town last Thursday. On its
way back to the banks. in going down
the '.Irish Town. hill, one of the mules
stopped and knelt down. The driver
urged it to move, but instead of getting
up it laid down. and had barely struck
the ground before it was dead.
Field fires have been prevailing in
Middleton township. On last Saturday
on the Kennedy farm a quarter of a mile
of fence was destroyed, and Parson
Hancock, about the same time, lost q
considerable amount of fencing. We
also hear, but not positively. that fire
escaped control on Mr.. Drayton Lewis
farm and burnt several stacks of hay
and a. pen of corn. Watch the fires,
boys.
Have you seen the great inducements
in domestics at Conkling & Beeding's.

Come in early on the Goth inst, and
see the greatest street pageant that has
ever been in the west.
Wednesday morning last as the pas
train, coming from Sedalia, was
running along at a moderate speed, and
when a few miles west of Brownsville,
q goat and kid were discovered on the
track. They ran some distance ahead
ofthe train, when the goat jumped to
side, while the kid kept right on
until overtaken by the engine, which
passed over it. Strange to relate the
kid jumped out from under the baggage
car, then ran under the smoking car,
then out again and under it went again;
under the rear coach. which passed over
it, and his kidship received ''nary' a
scratch or bruise, as he was seen follow
ing the train afterwards for some distance.
If that kid hasn't a charmed life. them
we'd like to know what has.
