THE FIRST AND BEST.
The Great American and Royal
German Allied Shows, at Ea.
ton, Saturday, JuIy2S

This is the title of the grand cOnjunc-
ton formed of Rentz' Royal Geological
Collection and Arenic Exhibition, and
Burr Robbins Great American Mena-
gerie, Museum and Circus. A COM
plete combination under the manage
ment of Mr.. Robbins, exhibited under
various tents, and mt ticket of admis-
sion only is required to the entire exhi-
billions. It is now famous as being the
largest and best collection of wild ami
mails, beasts and birds in America, of
which the Museum is replete and con-
tains curiosities from every part of the
Globe, all living, rare and strange.
The circus department contains many
eminent performers and peculiar fea-
lures of a new andinovel character.
Many OF the artists are entirely new to
this country, and are eminent and re-
nowned in their profession abroad. 1t
is, sufficient to say that the present en-
terprise is based upon a rigid parpose,
fully carried out to obtain the widest
range of arenic talent and secure the
most meritorious, exciting and anus
ing sensations, governed by a strict re-
gard for true art and merit, and entire.
ly free. from indelicacy, but appealing
for patronage to the higher tastes, de.
sires and requisites of a pure, amuse-
ment, loving people.

Gle for the display of remarkable feat:

vival of the Roman races and pastimes.
The street parade is promised 10 be
the most gorgeous display ever witness
ed. A long line of massive dens, paint
ed in enamel and gold, will contain the
menagerie of wild beasts, preceded by
the golden chariots, drawn by beauti-
fully marked horses which are follow
ed by the cages containing the docile
animals, of that domestic department.
These are decorated in golden crimson,
and are embellished with oil paintings
of a high order of merit. The Grand
Pageant and living tableau carnival
will follow this. 1t is impossible to
portray the multiform attractions and
grandeur of this national free exhibit
ton, so we can only refer for particu-
lars to the description given in the bills.
A cavalcade of equestrians, compos-
ing the congress of Nations, escorting
the triumphant Tableau Car, upon
which is seated the GODDESS of Liberty
in her temple, drawn by elephants: buff
falos and camels, and carrying a live

TO TOURISTS.

No portion of the continent of America presents
so much of grandeu beauty and marvellous in
t-rest to the Tourist as the famous Rocky Noun
tain region of Eastern Colorado, in the vicinity OF
the beautiful City of Denver. The magniicence
of the mountain scenery is equaled only by that
Of Switzerland, and many Tourists from abroad
have pronounced Colorado scenery superior to
even that of the Alps. The popular resorts in the
mountains, famed alike for their grand surround
ings and their magical waters, are daily becoming
recognized as the MOST DELIGHTFUL in A
merica for either health or recreation. Hundreds
ofpeople, tired of the resorts of the East, are go.
ing to spend the summer in the grand old Rocky
Mountains amid its charming parks, majestic
snow-clad peaks, grand cansns, clear sky and
magic atmosphere. The popular KANSAS Pa
F RAILWAY, with Its steel rails and autor
matte air brakes, is the favorite Tourist Route,
and the only line running Pullman cars from
Kansas City to Denver. Low round trip rates
from all Eastern cities. Descriptive Tourist Cir
culars, Maps and Guides sent free, upon applica-

FEW WORDS OF WISDOM

"FOR ALL who are seeking new homes in the
West. If you are going to change your location,
by all means you should keep on about the SAME
LATITUDE as where you formerly lived, for in
this way you will escape the severe climatic
changes in the weather Incident to the extreme
North or South, having none of these thinge to
contend with, yourself and family are healthy and
you become a producer at once, consequently soon
independent; on the other hand should you listen
to the many glowing accounts of the sunny South,
or the MILD climate OF the North, and thus be in
duced to try your fortunes there, you will find the
reality is not all your fancy painted 1t. If you go
South 1t usually takes about two years to get &C
climated to the climate, during which time, not
being able to work, yourself and family a e con-
sumers, besides being constantly exposed to the
malarial fevers which abound there, and the ex-
perience of many is that they return discouraged,
leaving not n few loved ones beneath the sod in
the sunny South. Therefore, I'm going West keep
on abou. the same latitude which will insure
HEALTH AND HAPPINESS. There are mos
excellent lands in Northern Missouri on the line
of the Hannibal & st. 10. R. R., and in Kansas,
Nebraska and Colorado, JUST AS CHEAP AND
GOO AS THE SUN EVER SHONE UPON,"
why not accept a certainty rather than run the
risk of losing all? Through day and sleeping cars
are run from Toledo, Ohio, via the Wabash R'y
and Quincy to st. 10. ,Atchison and Kansas City,
and from Chicago via Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy r. R., wher eby all are furnished frst-class
accommodation.

False IMPRESSION.

1t is generally supposed by a certain
class of citizens, who are not practical
or experienced, that Dyspepsia can not
invariably be cured, but we are pleased
to say that GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER
has never, to u knowledge, failed to
cure Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint in
all its forms, such as Sour Stomach,
~Cosyiveness, sick Headache, palpitation
of the Heart, low spirits, &C., &c. Out
of 10000 Dozen bottles sold last year,
not a single failure, was reported, but
thousands of complimentary letters re-
ceived from Druggists of wonderful
cures. Three doses will relieve any
case. Try it. Sample Bottles 10 cents.

WHEREAS, The exercise CT the cleo
tive franchise is not only a glorious

WHEREAS, The moral, social and po-
litical character of republican govern

RESOLVED l. That we hold it to be
the duty of every citizen to embody in
his ballot his highest and best concep-
tons of right and justice.
2. That intemperance and the traffic
in Intoxicating liquors is not only a
moral and social evil of unequalled
magnitude, but is likewise the greatest
political evil that afflicts our nation;
corrupting the civil service, defrauding
the revenue, defying the laws, filling
the land with vice, crime and misery,
and b%urdening the country with I'M
necessary and unjust taxation.
3. That we call upon all good citizens
to unite in a consi tent use of their in
fuence, their prayers and their votes,
for thn an,opnDnf.an ~ n,r nonrtrr
from the liquor curse.
4. That while we announce IL pur-
pose of voting steadily and persistently
tor the principles we advocate, we will
continue the use of all moral M ans in
our over for the reformation of the
fallen and the determination of intern
perance.
8. That we hail the "Murphy move
ment" as grand onward step in the
great work of temperance reform, and
rejoice in this, as in all other instru-
mentalities, by which the public mind
is agitated and public sentiment created
to the one great end of SURPRISING in
temperance and its consequent e, ills.
