Among the prominent advertisers
which the want of space prevented us
from mentioning in our last issue. was
the shoe house of T. d. Schloss &, Bro,
represented by those enterprising and
pushing young gentlemen, Messrs. d.
n. Raymond and I. l.. tiranary. This
establishment makes boots and shoes
speciality, and consequently understands
It's ihtricacies and the short cuts which
enables it to buy at the lowest figures.
Therefore they can supply retail buy
ers at extremely reduced prices, while
ITO country merchants they offer i'm
rnense advantages. If You want cheap
shoe, they have it; if you want me-
dium shoe, they have it; if YOU want .
fine custoin-made shoe, they have it,
In boots they keep the ss,ne grades,
from the finest to the cheapest, amt In
quantities to salt purchasers. Country
merchants and small dealers generally
should give these gentlemen call, be-
cause they can secure Just as good bar
gains from them as in the Northern
cities. Don't forget this fact.

Poor Land Farming.

year and put into corn, plowing the
ground in the fall. During the
past fifteen years | have broken
up q piece of meadow aud seeded
n new one each year, and In this
way the land has been growing
better instead of worse. During
the past five or six years | have
raised from fifty to eighty-fve
bushels of corn to the acre which
satisfies me that clover Is the
cheapest and best manure a farmer
can use, and this is the best way
to make old land new. The man

The Washington Farce.

Lhe most amuseing entertain
ment that is now on the boards in
the United States is the farce that
is being played at Washington,
"Guilty or Not Guilty, or is the
Whelp Insane" The farce is at
the Cox Theatre, and an actor
named Guiteau appears in the title
role, supported by an amateur
named Scoyille. District-Attor.
ney Corkhill is the stage manager
and Judge Cox is the prompter.
The audience is frequently convul.
sed with laughter, and applause
that almost amounts to an encore
is frequent. In a city where but a
few weeks ago every citizen was in
mourning, weeping crocodile tears
it seems strange that so many can
be found to laugh at the antics of
beast, but people who are sa d at
the spectacle should remember
that there are more loafers in
Washington than in any city on
the continent, and as most of them
are dead broke, and can't get into
two-shilling matinee it is natural
for them to turn to prayer meet
ings or assassination trials for
amusement. While they are in
court they watch the proceedings
for places to laugh, forget their
sorrows, and do not worry about
where the next meal is coming
from. They are mostly Office
seekers, many of them cranks like
the prisoner, and we hope the peo-
pie of the country viii not Judge
Washington society by the news
paper reports of the hilarious
actions Of the frequentcrs Of that

might get at the steer and reap a
harvest. Mr.. Haight says:
"He is what you might call a re.
markable animal, and was born to
trOt. When he was a little calf
instead Of jumping and gamboling
like other calves, he would set his
head and spin off on square trot
for quarter of mile. This Gre

made big time, and he was encour.
aged. He is only three years old
now, and as gentle as q lamb, but
he can pull a sulty over a mile in
four minutes and just get warmed
up. His name is Novelty Boy,
and he is strong on a three mile
trot. He has got big speed in
him.
Mr.. Haight produced a photo
graph of Novelty Boy standing be.
tween the shafts Of a light racing
sulky. His forelegs are very short
and back long, but the under part
of his body curves up, giving him

collar that opens at the lower end.
He is steered by two reins attach.

Fearful Loss Of Life.

The Ring Theater, formerly the

was caused by the falling Of a lamp
on the stage. Up to the present
time seventy bodies have been re.
covered. Many persons were in.
jured. Sixty persons were saved
by the means of ladders and by
jumping into cloths held below.
The greatest efforts were made to
save lives. The scene was terrible
the flames shooting up through the
roof, and eventually cutting the
whole building.
IL p. m.--One hundred and forty
five bodies have been brought out
of the theater. The dead therein
are still numerous. Many of the
bodies were consumed in the gal.
leries and other elevated parts of
the building. The chief cause of
the catastrophe was that in the
confusion the iron portion separ.

was not lowered. Thousands of
people assembled in the neighbor.
