Special Correspondence to the
DEAR RELECTOR-Since my letter
of last week. must say that until yes
terday things in this locality ran rather
smoothly, not the least thing worthy
of mention having taken place, and l
certainly think that the jewellers in and
about Paola would have died from
sheer inactivity were it not for the fact
that they were buoyed up by expectan-
CIV and anticipation awaiting the big
gest and best of all big shows, Sells
Bros. Monster 50-Cage Menagerie and
Great Four-Ring Circus. For weeks
the town has been clad in regal holiday
attire. gaudy colored Autographs lining
the shop windows and the walls, and
fences. etc, everywhere one looked
OF course the Sells Show is as well
known here as the Town Hall, and is
considered as much an institution OF
the place; but our citizens were sur
prised at the change which one short
season has wrought in the Sells Bros.
Monster 50-Cage Menagerie and Great
Four-Ring Circus. Last year Sells
Bros. Circus was considered big enough
and grand enough for all intents and
purposes, but this year it beats every
thing.
Everybody went to the show yeSter-
day and last night, and everybody went
home pleased. l was Informed by one
of the managers that the date of the
Shows appearance in Abilene has been
definitely settled, and it will now ap-
pear in Abilene on Friday, Sept. 5th,
so that hasten to tell you what saw.
In the first place, on entering | was
almost carried by the crowd through
the first of the huge menagerie tents,
containing just 81 cages Of living wild
animals, and then in the second tent
containing 26 cages their menagerie is
so large that it requires double tent;
they advertise so cages, but show in
reality 53-three more than advertised;
l suppose that they chose so, because
it is an even number). 1t was, indeed,
a splendid sight, and many animals
were to be seen which, l am certain,
are not to be seen anywhere else, and
which will probably never be seen
again.
The ring, or, rather, to be more eX-
plicit, the Touring performance, was
simply excellence; it never was nor
never will be beaten. Such riding!
Jim Robinson! You've seen Jim-ev-
cry body has. Well, Jim, the world S
champion, led the riding, followed by
Madame Cordona, Don Jere. Bell, Frank
II. Gardner, Miss Polite Lee, and, in
fact, twenty other champions, each a
star. There is not a single pad act,
nor anything like bad act in the whole
show. The riding is, of course, but
one line of the performance, which in
cludes everything under the sun in the
circus line. There is altogether 200
all-star artists, giving six acts at one
time-in the air, on horseback and in
the rings-a most wonderful perform
ance. JUSTUS.

EGYPT ANXIOUS FOR AID.
ENGLAND ASKED FOR A FINAL DECISION.

THE INTERVENTION OF TURKEY-ACTrON OF EURO
PEAN POWERS.
CAIRO, Jan. 4.-The relations between England
and Egypt are strained. The Government of Egypt
has sent note to the Government OF
Great Britain, pointing ont to the latter
that tho present state of things in Egypt
cannot continue, and asking that final decision
shall be given upon the sOudan question. If
England refuses the assistance asked by Egypt,
the Khedive and his Ministry have determined to
abandon to Turkey the Eastern Soudan and re-
duce the Egyptian tribute to the Porte The
Egyptian troops would then be concentrated in
Egypt proper, thus giving force of 10000 men to
protect tho frontier without the aid Of the English
army. Sir Evelyn Barring thinks that $1,000 men
would be insufficient for that service.
Besides the Khedive tho English officials have
agreed to n reduction of their salaries and it is ex
pected that the Cabinet Ministers will do likewise.
The saving thus effected is estimated at t44S,OOO

account of the murder of James Carey which was
written by a man who received it from Patrick

told as long as chance remained to save ODOnnelPs

made no attack upon O'DOnnell. Had Judge Den

told the whole truth.
O'Donncll was not acquainted with Carey on the
voyage from England to the Cape of Good Hope,
and was not member of any society. He rccog-
nizcd Carey by woOd-cut which he saw at Cape
Town, and resolved to kill him. ODonnell intended
TO 90 with Carey to the farm at Port Elizabeth, and
thus show that there was no spot where the in
former could be safe. Finding himself, however
alone with Carey, he could not resist tho desire to
kill him. Carey perceived his danger, and said {:
"Do YOU know met" ODonncll replied: "You
