Inter Ocean Circus will be here
some time this summer. We received
marked paper from Des Moiness
Iowa which speaks very highly Of
their performance there
Our Supreme Court by a recent de-
cIsion, has settled an important ques-
ton as to the rights of foreign burn
citizens. Hereafter any foreign born
person can be elected to an Office
before his final naturalization papers
are taken out but he can only. take
possession Of the Office to which he is
elected after his naturalization is COM
pleted, and this must be done
before the expiration of the time fixed
by law for the officer to qualify.
We promised in our last issue to
give a brief sketch of the life of the
lamented Geo. A. Ferguson. We
publish the sermon Of Rev. Norris,
delivered at his funeral on Sunday
morning last at the Congregational
church, to which we attach the sketch
as reported in the last Tribune. The
sermon is an excellent one and we
reccomend a perusal of 1t to all our
readers
We publish an article in this issue
taken from the True Republican, Civ
ing the account of the sad accident
and death which befcll Mrs. Paulus
of that Village. Many of our people
will remmembcr her as having been
employed III the dress making estab-
lishment of Miss Reardon, of this
city, when a young lady. several years
past.
1t has been suggested that it would
be good idea for the ladies of the.
Cong and Methodist churches to bring
plant to adorn the pulpit 1t would
be so much nicer if the pulpits were
decorated with flowers aud plants than
at present without; they could be at
tended to during the week and allow
ed to remain until fall when each
could take their respective property
home again. Who will start it?
From Maine to California, the glad
tidings ring out that the manufacture
ers of the celebrated Dr. Marshall's
Lung Syrup, for all Lung troubles,
have enlarged the bottles and contents,
and are thus giving to its many
patrons large and well filled bottle
Of the Lung Syrup for 25 cents, so
cents and 81 per bottle. The success
of the Lung Syrup is unprecedented
and rival firms gaze with wonder and
establishment at the wonderous cases
OF Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, and
Lung diseases, cured by it. We sell
it,
Signed.
