CAMPBELL'S MONSTER EXHI.
BITlON.


The following graphic notice of Camp
BELLS great show is from the Washington
Cd. c. Republican, of April &c: If the
old adage be true, that the "touchstone
of merit is success" then we may put
down the great Campbell show as one of
the most pronounced merit, for its sue,
cess here is exceptional. Last night was
its fourth exhibition, and its tents were
densely crowded by an audience notice
able for its respectable character as we'll
as its numbers. The arenic performances
created marked enthusiasm, and elected
well deserved applause. The "star of
the evening" was the pretty little Rosa
Lee, who appeared IN four different acts.
She is handsomely formed, fresh faced
girl of some fifteen summers, seemingly
a human daisy in the spring-time oflife,
whose whole soul is wrapped up in her
profession. The entire company is one
of such superior excellence that we can
safely advise the public to go and see it
during its brief stay in the city. The
entertainments of to-day and tomorrow
close the season with us. Two enter.
tainments are given each day-in the
afternoon beginning at two, and in the
evening at eight, the doors opening one
hour earlier, to afford an opportunity to
view the fine collection of animals.
This great show is to be in Humboldt
Wednesday July 10th.

EXCESSIVE HEAT

And unwhOlesome diet at this season
of the year may speedily carry you to the
grave. Parker's Ginger Tonic, by its
corrective action on the entire digestive
apparatus, will not only unfailingly cure
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera, Cholera
Infaptum, Collie, Cramps, Spasms, etc.,
but will prevent those dangerous disor-
ders from attacking the system. 1t may
save your life, and should always be kept
in the house. This pleasant remedy is
unequalled- for teething children or
nursing mothers. Possessing many ad-
ditional virtues of other valuable roots,
it is far superior to Essences of Ginger,
without their constituting effects, and
while, more invigorating than liquors
never intoxicates, nor creates any desire
for stimulantsL 1t cures Dyspepsia,
Heartburn, Sour Stomach, etc, enables
you to enjoy the fruits and vegetables of
the season without fear, and gives COM
fort and ease after a hearty meal. Buy
q $1.O0 bottle OF your druggist, r. B.
Stevenson, lola Kansas, or q sample
bottle at Is cts, and test its extraordi-
nary merits.

LIVER is KING.

The liver is the imperial organ of the
whole human system, and it controls the
life, health and happiness of man. When
it is disturbed in its proper action, all
kinds of ailments are the natural result.
The digestion of food, the movements of
the heart and blood, the action of the
brain and nervous system, are all imne-
diately connected with the workings of
the liver. 1t has been successfully
proved that Green's August Flower is
unequalled in curing all persons afflicted
with dyspepsia or liver complaint, and
all the numerous symptoms that result
from an unhealthy condition of the
liver and stomach. Sample bottles to
try, 10 cents. Positively sold in all
towns on the Western Continent. Three
doses will prove that it is just what you
want.

PETTY LARCENY.

Three or-four young men were arrested
Wednesday charged with petty larceny.
They first visited DR.. SCOTS drug store
where they obtained a couple of bottles
of perfumery. At Northrup's store they
stole a parasol. At stevenson's they
gobbled some perfumery and at Yates
they pilfered some small articles. Here
they were caught, Mr.. Yates suspicion
ing from their actions that all was not
right. Afterward their wagon was
searched and the above articles found.
They gave bail for their appearance
Wednesday before Judge Boyd. Owing
to the lack of sufficient evidence the
county attorney withdrew the prosecu.
ton against three of them the other,
Geo. Yokam, plead guilty and was fined
three dollars and costs, amounting to
nearly forty dollars.
The boys live in the northern part Of
the county, near Elizabethtown. From
what we learn there seems to be . gen.
eral understanding that the chap that
stole the most was the sharpest "coon."
After the trial was over they seemed to
feel no shame or modification at the
result, but displayed . brazenness that
argues bad for their future career. The
general impression seems to be that they
got of entirely too easy. The boys took
the whole proceeding as good joke and
boosted that they would not get caught
next time. "Next time" may Be about
six months in the county jail.
