The DAILY JOURNAL,

The indianapolis Journal is better equipped
than ever il it's history to serve the public
With fine mechanical outfit not excelled
anywhere, the topographic appearance and
arrangement of the paper will maintain for
the Journal the deserved reputation of being
one of the best printed papers in the country.
Our arrangements for the collection of news
from all parts Of the world were never so COM
plete, never involved 50 large an outlay Of
money, while in all departments the paper is
served with experienced and intelligent diree-
ton. The Journal is first Newspaper. 1t
viii give all the news of the day, from every
quarter with fullness, entire fairness, and so
purities and allow them at all times to be read
with perfect safety by every member of the
family. The Journal is a Republican paper,
believing in the principles and general policy
Of the Republican party; but it recognizes
that in the work of parties there are and will
be wrongs, possibly frauds and corruptions.
These the Journal proposes to be perfectly free
to eriticise and to condemn without stint but
in spirit and with purpose for good, having
proper regard for personal rights and reputa-
tons. And the right to make this criticism
will be asserted and maintained without detri-
ment to the political character and standing of
the paper. With no desire to be eaptious or
fault finding, in the interest of the people and
of the party, believing that the great glory of
repuhlicaniam is that it permits freedom of
thought and liberty of expression, the Journal
will eadeaVor in its editorial comment and con-
duct, to keep the Republican party the agency
through which and by which the best thought
of the people may find expression and the
highest purpose of the people be executed.
Other than this, and less than this will meet
its most vigorous opposition. We hope to
make the Journal the exponent of the highest
and best thoroughly sincere and earnest in
whatever it says and does; paper of the
people and for the people as welcome to one
class as to another, expecting continuance
of generous confidence and support by the
people. Subscribe at once.

TRADE AND COMMERCE.
The Volume of Trade in the Week Closing
To-Day a Disappointment


INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 6.
The week which opened so promising for bust
ness as it advanced fell below expectations. The
Two or three winteFish days gave some snap to
trade, and cheerful feeling obtained but the
warm, moist weather of Thursday, Friday and
Saturday gave business n setback, and in nearly
all departments sluggishness was the leading
feature. Dry goods men felt the dizziness most;
the produce market, as well, tame. While We
make ne change in quotations today prices
for eggs, butter poultry and game are weak
and with large arrivals of apples and potatoes
prices of these articles although not quotably
changed, are ohish. In groceries there lisa fair
movement. Coffes rule strong in the East and
consequently they are steady West Sugars are
quiet; prices weak. Hog products are moving
glow; prices unchanged. The warm weather in
terferes somewhat with Strengthening at the
pork houses.

The local market ruled steady. Arrivals are
light and demand good The Board of Trade

rule steady at quotations, with fair inquiries for
small lots. Wagon wheat is quite q feature in
the matter of receipts during the last few weeks.
Milers reporting arrivals in this way quite lib

for forward deliveries. We quote:

A Few words to Cur Patrons.

The following card from the Manage
ment of the New York Circus, Museum
and Congress of Trained Animals,
which will exhibit in this city Wednes-
day, July 2, needs no explanation, as
the show comes fully endorsed by the
press as the largest and best:
The transcendency of this mighty
aggregated consolidated monarch of all
shows is beyond the loftiest fight Of
the most fertile imagination. Words.
are totally inadequate to express the
nubounded appreciation of the press
and public as for the first time they
gaze upon this confederation, and for
once see their expectations fully realiz-
ed, like the weary pilgrim upon first
sight of his Mecca, or haven of rest.
Years of labor and accumulations of a
mighty fortune have been devoted to
bring cling about this much-desired OBJ
ject, and it is, with just feelings of pride
that the Management accord to this
mighty wonder the title of
GREATEST AND BEST.
Too often are the public deceived by
willy managers, who seek through mis-
representation to defraud the populace
Of their money, never for a moment at
tempting to contine their cleverly word
ed advertisements to anything like a
semblance of truth.
It is solely our desire to place before
the public show embracing in its en-
tirety more new features, and present
ing more talented performers, than
were ever before gathered together by
any show on earth.
We have no rivals. nor superiors. but
are truly the one
GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH,
and lead the van, while less fortunate
competitors are compelled to follow in
the rear and be relegated to inferior
positions.
Our constant aim is to please and de-
light all, and, with this one sole object
in view, we pledge our reputation that
we will present an entertainment which
has
NO EQUAL ON EARTH.
Very respectfully, the public's obedi-

SAD DEATH--Last Monday morning
kilograms and St. Paul and MinneapO.
lis dailies brought the sad tidings of
the accidental death, in Minneapolis,
of Mr.. August Schmidt, a former resi-
dent of New Ulm. The Tribune gives
the following account of Mr.. Schmidt's
death:
s'Another terrible and fatal acct
dent, and one apparently entirely un-
necessary, occurred shortly before 10
o'clock last Saturday evening, where
August Schmidt, proprietor of the
Farmers Hotel, fell through the open
ing at the west end Of the Suspension
Bridge, and was almost instantly kill
ed. Schmidt, while in company with
Max Kaufman, a boarder at the
Farmers Hotel, had been viewing
the improvements at this point, where
he met his tragic death. The man
had passed over the opening. between
the temporary wooden construction on
the right Of the approach to the
bridge, and was about to step from
the bridge proper on to the new plat
form, when he missed his step or fail.
ed to observe the opening, and fell to
the railway track, twenty feet beneath.
The unfortunate man fell head first
and struck his head upon one end of a
railway tie. When men engaged on
the work went to him life was almost
extinct, and before medical assistance
could be summoned death had reliey.
ed the sufferer. The mans skull was
found to be terribly crushed. Those
who viewed the ground were harsh in
their criticism Of the depot authori-
ties, to whose apparent Negligence this
terrible death is partly attributed.
The opening through which Schmidt
fell is about two feet wide. There
was no fence provided to keep pedes-
TRANS away from the dangerous spot,
neither was there light or a watch
man.
Mr.. Schmidt moved to Minneapolis
from st. Louis about two years ago,
and he was highly estemed by all who
had learned to know him. The grief
of the family, consisting of wife and
four children, is unconsolable, and in
their great affection they have the
heartfelt sympathy of their many New
Ulm friends.

Matters Military.

CHpt. James 1u0L6r OF I'd cOmpd.
ny informs the Republican that an ef-
fort will be made by the Guards to Sc
cure the encampment at Faribault for
the next year, which the Republican
hopes will be successful. Winona
contributes ST. 200 toward paying the
expenses of the encampment, in order
to secure it for this year.
The National Rifles of Washington,
D. c., are not satisfied with the deci-
sion OF judges that decided against
them in their recent contest with
Capt. Beams company of St, Paul.
They intend to submit to Secretary
Lincoln, upon their return to WASH
ington, a report of the competitive
drill, the object being to prove to the
War Department that ignorance ex-
lists even under the roof of so prOmi-
nent a portion of the army as that
which occupies the officers quarters
at Fort Smelling. Should the Rifles
also get sc0oped at Dubuque they will
probably change their opinion of the
Fort Smelling officers before they reach
Washington.

An exchange says that sawdust. as
an ingredient of mortar for plastering
houses, is being given much attention
in some quarters. 1t is utilized in
stead of sand, and it is asserted that
such mortar, being more porous than
the ordinary kind, makes the face of
a wall warmer, is non. conductor of
sound and dampness and overcomes
the echo in halls and churches.

The only place in America where a
convicted murderer has the choice of
how be shall be put to- death is in
Utah. There he may select hanging
or shooting. The latter is invariably
the choice. On Friday, the 18th inst,
Hopt, the Ogden murderer, was exc
cuted in this way, and the proceed
ings were decorous and decidedly ef-
fective. When Hopt left New Ulm a
few years ago, then mere boy, little
did anyone here suspicion that he
would meet death in such a manner
and under such circumstances.
