COMING RIGHT ALONG.
S. H. Barrett ~ Co.'S New United Monster
Railroad Shows


This greatest and best of all shows will
exhibit at Ottawa on Tuesday, June B, and
promises to be the greatest exhibition of
its colossal kind ever given. While we, as
journalists, are not in the habit of bestow.
ing praise on shows or exhibitions of any
class, vet in this instance we feel it incum
bent upon us to diverge from our estab-
lished rule and speak of the merits of S.
III. Barrett IL Co.'S tented wonders. This
we do in justice, and in the same feeling
which prompts us always to do the right
TO laud the deserving and to expose the
unworthy. We know that in this instance
we speak Of management that conducts
the largest show in the United States in a
manner so as to please the most fastidious
of either sex, and 10 surprise the most
stOical The great collection of worlds
wonders which these gentlemen Is. II.
Brrrett & Coz bring with them stands I'M
rivaled in the history of the show world,
Their Menagerie, for instance, contains 100
cages Of living wild animals; their Deep
Sea Aquarium has numberless monsters of
the briny deep; their Ayiary has most
stupendous COLLECTION Of birds. In word,
there are more'birds, beasts and reptiles
mammoth and mite than are To be found
in any ten shows in the world. Their
arenic exercises, in which $50 star per
formers take pdrt, is the climax of astound
ing perfection. We repeat that, as a whole,
it is unequaled in the world. No one can
afford to miss it. II will be here, remem-

and contradictory positions. In the
police court Tuesday Mr.. F0ust, who
has been talking for Blaine and Logan
for months, was called upon as city at

the street. While Benton, who is an
original Cleveland man, was called up

those same boys to cheer for Blaine
and Logan at a democratic meeting, u
