Cole and the Arabs.

w. w. Coles monster shows-cireus and
menagerie-which are to exhibit in this city
on Friday, July 4th, are exceptionally inter-
esting in that they present a perfect wilder
ness of rare animals, acts and features.
Among the foreign novelties to be presented
is troupe of genuine Bedouin Arabs whose
performances are marvels of athletic excel
lence. A ''human fy," or lady ceiling
walker is another new addition. At least
100000 has been expended during the
winter in obtaining new features and re-6t-
ting this great show. Nearly every race of
people, civilized and uncivilized, will be rep
resented. AS many as fourteen bareback
running horses will be seen in the ring at
one time. An elephants that reads, wrest-
ling camels, and white hippepotamus are
among the many animal curiosities, while
Samson, the mastodonic elephant, will tower
above anything yet born of brutes. Owing
to the extraordinary magnitude of this enor-
nous show, performances will be given in
the menagerle tents as well as the several
rings.

Crush at a Circus.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat of Friday
morning, April 25th, gives graphic descrip-
tion OF Coles great shows, and in paying the
performance the highest tribute of praise it
makes special mention of the wonderful
crowds in daily attendance upon this truly
marvellous entertainment, which is to exhibit
in Roseburg on Monday, July 4th.
1T verify seemed that everybody in st.
Louis attended the two performances OF
Coles great shows at Nineteenth and Pine
yesterday. At the afternoon entertainment
the tents were full, while at the night per-
formance the throng of eager applicants for
admission was SO dense that the ticket wagon
had to be closed, as every available inch of
space was occupied. The splendid circus
programme which Mr.. Cole had arranged
was carried out entire, with skill and ex-
cellenae which won the enthusiastic applause
of the multitude. The many novelties
which distinguish the Cole shows from 9TH
ers OF the same class were revelation, and
while some of the thrilling acts were in
progress the great audiences almost held
their breath at the unheard of daring of the
performers. The varions artists had reeov-
cred f.om the nervousness of the first day,
aud did their pats cleverly and without any
failures or accidents"

The San Francisco Call says: Chair
man Wise made very neat point
against the Republican ticket when he
called the Stockton convention to Org
der. He did not attack Blaine's Chi
nese record, but reminded the conven-
ton that bills must be passed before
they can be signed, and that Mr..
Blaine as President was not likely to
make fight against his party. He
also reminded the convention that Sen
ator Logan was On the record as oppos-
ing such anti-Chinese legislation as has
been enacted These are good points
to urge, and if the Democrats are wlse
may be turned to advantage during the
campaign.

Roasted Humanity.

The burning of the circus car nine
miles north of Greedy was attended
with indescribable horrors. The
burned car was ssnext to the engine.
Seventeen cars containing Ogton's
Anglo American circus, which left
Fort Collins about midnight for
Golden over the Greely, Salt Lake s.
Pacific road, burned. As the train
was nearing Windsor, a small sta
tion near. Greedy, it was running
about twenty-five miles an hour,
when engineer Coifpriest discovered
a car on fire. He. reversed 5his en-
gine and threw open the whistle
valve. There were sixty men in
the Car, arranged in three tiers Of,
,berths on either side forward. Th(
side door was closed and the men in
the hunks were sleeping against it.
The rear side door was also closed,
and the men who awoke discovered
that the lower unoccupied.. berths
1next to it, containing rubbish, were.
on fire, filling the car with smoke.

Kent walked over, the cactuses in

oil on the blistered unfortunates
and wrapped them in blankets.
An old Pacific coast sailor named
Mcdonald, formerly Of GIForepaugh's
show, was terribly burned, his flesh
hanging in shreds. The heartrend-
ing cries of the men on the prairie,
the smothered appeals Of the dying
within the car, the roar OF tho
flames and the bowling Of the ami
mails made the scene terrible be-

roasting flesh and the distantscry Of
the coyotes added to the general hor-
ror of the scene. The voices,of the
dying grew fainter and soon. ceased.
Meantime the engine had gone to
Greely for assistance, returning
with DR.. Jesse Hawes, president Of

of the rescued in being pulled
