The Republican Circus.

This vas n of the best circuses ever
billed here, they beat the five clown cir
Gus nearly four to one. There would not
have been some disastrous falls if it had
not been that the "'ring'' was so badly
wrecked before the performance began,
SO that some of the tumblers and clowns
did not get the correct bearing of the
pads and were completely busted. The
circus was well patronized, and under
John Rhea, the ~ringmaster, gave anus
ing performances. 81.
The first performance was grand and
lofty tumbling on the Auditor pad, by
Messrs. Mikesell, Sayler, Farr and Ber-
ry. Berry took a spring, missed the pad
and was carried out with a broken back;
the other three seemed to be trying to
Guido eachsother, after trying one somer-
sault around they tried the double, and
it became exciting. Mikesel and Say
Ter seemed the favorites, and after a few
trials Farr limped away and left the field
to the first two. On the last trial Mike
sell threw a triple somersault and lit fair
and square on his feet, while Sayler was
carried to the rear.
Now came the riding of the trick mule
by Messrs. Peters, -'Ayde1ott, Gordon,
Conger and Corwin. After repeated eff
forts all but Corwin gave up, he grabbed
the animal by the tail and ears and held
on long enough to win the prize for Sher-
if.
Next came the rope-walking, the most
successful n receiving the nomination
for Recorder. No one but zimmerman
being able to make it. They wound up
with kind of a variety performance,
during which Messrs. McDill and Col
Inns received priced for clog dancing.
John Mills, of Jefferson township, was
the champion clown, and was received
with loud applause.

that his feet had been SO terribly FROST
bitten that he could hardly stand the
pains caused thereby. He happened
to think of ST.. JACOBS OIL-which he
always keeps handy-rubbed his feet
twice with the remedy, and the pain
disappeared entirely. He not only val
ues ST. JACOBS OH as an unexcelled
remedy for a great many other painful
