The Great London Circus-The Dynsmo-Elec-
tric Light-The Ten Elephants = Courtesy
Shown the Public-No Lemonade Peddlers-
No Suindlers OF any Kind Deserving OF Pub
lie Patronage, So says the Subscribers.
Below will be seen what the citizens
of Texas say of this great show that is
to exhibit at Austin on Saturday, No
vember 8.
We, the undersigned, have this day
witnessed the street parade and seen
the menagerie and circus performance
of Cooper s. Bailey's Great Lor don
Circus. We believe it to be the lsrg-
est and best exhibition of the kind
ever shown in the State. There are
many novel features about it, such as
the electric light, the excellent circus
performance, the ten elephants, the
courtesy and attention shown the pub
lie, the absence of lemonade or candy
peddlers IN the circus, which especially
commend it to the public.
1t is really flrst class exhibition /;
gives general satisfaction, and deserves
public patronage upon its merits.
The crowd in town and the audience
at the tents was by far the
largest eyer seen in Bonham.

ereign States. Those who insis. thai
the general government is purely Fed
eral, and not national in its character,
are logically compelled to deny the
night to remove any cause from the
State to the Federal court, and to de-
clare the act OF 1889, section 20, con-
stitutional, because if any right of re-
moval exists it must extend alike to
civil and criminal causes, and extention
of which, as we'll as time and manner
In which it shall be exercised, when
ever the Federal laws or their execu-
tiou is concerned, is a question of
expediency and not of power.

"THEY WILL NOT LET ME MAKE AN
HONEST LIVING" was the sad utterance
of Bryan saloon keeper, who had the
singular misfortune to be twice burned
out within q week. Luck or fortune,
as men call SIS a strange thing. Gener-
ally success seems dependant upon man
agement, prudence, skill, etc, and yet we
have often known ''the best LAID plans
of mice and men," etc., as Burns or
somebody else has said; and there was
no fault 10 the management of this sa-
loon man, except the singular method
he had of making an ''honest lIvlng."
The fire few days ago was produced
by lamp explosion; that last night
originated in the city lookup. What
was formerly the county jail had been
role to the side Of the public square
and used as above, while the upper
story was used as Q court room in
which the mayors court held its ses-
sions. In this building in the lower
part, where one unfortunate man was
confined-having been sent there the
previous evening-the fire was dis
covered about 3 A. N. this day. Those

member to have heard calling and he'll

was discovered. Now It is supposed
it was this unfortunate prisoner. The
theory Of the fire is one way with one,
and another with another. The prob
able cause seems to be BE was intoxi-
Gated, and in that state had no better
sense than to try to burn his way out
of his prison. Failing in this, he
sobsred up and commenced to cry and
call for help; alas, sil in vain- Not
the first time, nor is it likely TO be the
last, in which Q fire kindled in wan
tonnes or thoughtlessness burned: on
all the same as If no regrets followed
the action. Ft
The saloon man had built hik house
almost against the door Of the prison.
The house was new, having been built
with reference, evidently, TO the CON
venience Of jurors and others attending
