A NOVEL WAY OF CoLLECTING.-T.J J.
Lynch owed John Gunsley and Chas.
Blair debt, and was not able to pay it
for some time. Gunsly and Blair, with a
view, probably, of saving the costs of
justice court, drove up to Lynch's
corn crib in broad daylight, loaded up
their wagon with corn, and drove Off
Lynch considered this procedure a
little crooked, and had them arrested
and brought before Justice Newman,
who agreed with Lynch and fined them So
each. They considered this amount of
money worth more than their time, and
liberty, and so rested in Jail for one day
The cruel justice also decided that the
load Of corn should be returned to
| Lynch.

THE CIRcUs.-Van Amburgh's circus
and menagerie exhibited in this city
last week Thursday, to an average au-
dience. Farmers being right in the
m iddle of corn cultivation, not nearly
so many attended the show as would
otherwise have done. Several features
of the show were something a little diff
ferent from the usual routine of a circus
performance, and for this reason proved
refreshing. Mile Watson, the woman
with the iron jaws, astonished and pleas
ed all by her extraordinary feats. The
riding was good, especially that of little
Charley Watson, which was wonderful.
The balancing and juggling feats were
also excellent. We noticed but few ex-
ceptionable features of the show, and
those consisted of one or two ruffians
among the employees. But the majority
of these were orderly and respectful,
and it was noticeable that the show in
this respect was far better than any
that has visited our city for some time

TALMADGE.-The lecture of Rev. L.
Dewitt Talmadge, at the Opera House,
last Saturday evening, was well attend
ed, and contributed to the funds of the
Library net profit over all expenses of
$3.50. The lecture was just such as we
had been led to expect from the des-
cription of the Talmadge style 1t was
not profound; it was not even brilliant
in the highest sense, but it was eccentric
to the last degree and intensely anus
ing. 1t abounded in good common-sense,
so common and familiar that if spoke
by man of less fame than Mr.. Tai
madge, it would have been deemed moth
ing remarkable. But it was invested
with a garniture of happy illustration,
thrilling description, wit, humor, mimic
ry and facial expression that gave it a
charm there was no resisting. 1t ranged
through all grades of feeling and .ex-
preston, from the broadcast farce to the
sublimest form of thought and descrip-
ton, and it's prevailing characteristic
was the incubation of cheerfulness and
contentment under all circumstances
and good humored satire of the oppo-
sites of those virtues. The lecture had
all the elements of popular appreciation
and gave universal delight.

WE received this week polite invi-
tation from j. S. Fowler, of the Water
loo Nurseries to attend strawberry
picnic at his place to-day. We were
compelled to decline on account of i'm
perrative duties. After reading Matt
PARROTS description of the large speci-
mems of the fruit that Mr.. Fowler is
raising-only "a berries in a box-we
feel like congratulating ourselves that
we did not go. We should probably
have dislocated our jaw in trying to get
around those berries, some of the eight
inches in circumference. Either Mats
yarn or those berries are whoppers.

Dobbins Electric Soap.

Having obtained the agency of this
Celebrated Soap for Fairbank and vi
cinity, We append the opinion Of some
of our best people as to its merits:
We have given Dobbins Electric SOAP
made by j. L. Cagin Il Co., Philadel-
phia, Pa, thorough trial and can re-
commend it to all housekeepers. By
following the directions washing can be
done in one half the time required when
other soap is used. Boiling the clothes
is entirely unnecessary and but very lit
tie rubbing is needed.

MRS H. NJ. NICHOLS
Mrs. A. HOWARD,
Mrs. R. WOLFE,
MRS. D. A. PROCTOR.
We desire all our friends and custom
ers to give this soap one trial so that
they may know just how good the best
soap in the u. s. is.

PoIsoNED.-A little child, aged 10
months, Of Patrick Bradley, who lives
in the southern portion of Independence,
was poisoned yesterday morning by
drinking some corrosive sublimate from
small vial. The family had been us
ing the poison to kill off bedbugs,
and the vial had been left within the
child's reach, with the above result.
The little sufferer fingered all day yes
terday, and died last night People can
not be too careful when they are hand
lingl poisons, especially when there
are small children in the family. A
habit of carefulness should be inculcat-
ed, which will prevent any such sorrow
full accidents as the above.

CLOSING OF OUR CITY SCHOoLs.-The
graduating I'D junior class exercises of
the Independence High School, took
place at the Presbyterian church last
Friday evening, before a large concourse
of people. Mr., Eden had spent some
time in making the necessary prepare
tons for the event, and the exercises
were the reflection of his teaching and
careful attention. The musical part of
the programme was excellent, embrace
ing both singing by the school, and a
quartette by Messrs. Jackson, Jacobs,
Mrs. Il. L. Currier and Miss Rose Dick
son. The essays were well written, and
received much praise, particularly that
by Mary Holdridge, entitled What will
the World Say" The valediotory,
"Who are Heroes" by Walter G. Stew
enson, was finely constructed, but lack
ed a good delivery. All the essays,
however, were worthy of much praise,
as also were the Rotations. The pre-
sentation of diplomas was made by Geo.
B. Warne, and his address to the school
contained many happy hits, and was full
of feeling Mr.. Elden has indeed cause
for congratulation, in the fact that the
patrons of the schools are we'll satisfied
that they were never in so excel
lent and prosperous condition as now.

after repeatedly demanding his money
without success, ''let him have a dose
of thunder over the mug as the Monitor
expresses it, which brought Mr.. tailor
to terms and he handed over the money.
