Harris Nickle-Plate Shows

The performance of W. Fl. Harris
Nickle. Plate Shows in Wadena yes
terday, (the first circus that ever visit
ed our city, was all that it was ad.
vertised to be. Early in the morn.
ing, teams from the country began to
pour into town, and before noon the
town was full of people. The large
tent was crowded fnll, and at exactly
two o'clock the ring performance be-
gan. The show is one of the best in
the country, and gave great satisfac-
ton to all in attendance. Mr.. Harris
has exactly met the wants of the pes-
pie, and deserves great credit for the
energy and enterprise that he has
manifested in doing so. He has paid
special attention to the ring perform
ances, and has, as you might we'll say,
perfected it, and we believe there is
not another show travelling that can
give a better one. The animals con-
tanned in the menagerie are fine speci-
mems of the brute kingdom, although
there are shows that have larger
variety. The equestrians, gymnasts,
leapers, tumblers and acrobats have
all been selected from the best in the
profession and challenge the world
for a rivalry in their different acts.
The walking of the tight rope and tho
riding of the bicycle over it, by Geo.
Charest, cannot be beaten, and the
trapeze performance by Mr.. and Mrs.
Belmont, is simply wonderful, and
shows great strength and muscular
power. The parts taken by Miss Daisy
Belmont, were all executed nicely and
especially the performance with the
trained Canary birds. The attendance
in the evening was also very fair, and
the performance exceedingly good.
The managers of the show are gentle
men in every respect, and have gained
the entire confidence and respect of
our people, and should Mr.. Harris
ever see fit to visit our city again, he
will be greetetp with a still *sarger
crowd than he had this time, as all
who attended were moro than pleased
with the show.

Convenient Postage reduction
An Error

Convenient Postage Reduction
An Error,
A law just passed and now in force,
allows any one to send a newspaper
weighing not over four ounces through
the mail for 4 one cent stamp prepaid
postage, instead of the two cents bith-
erto required, if newspaper weighed
the slightest fraction over two ounces.
Aside from the saving in cost, which
will promote the interchange of news
papers among friends, and the sending
of more copies to the poor, great
convenience is secured. For example:
In large class OF papers, like the
Prairie Farmer, the ordinary issues
have been purposely kept within the
one cent limit of weight so as to allow
people to RENAL them to others after
reading. But chance thick wrapper
Sbut on has caused tens of thousands
of them to be thrown into the waste
heap by post-masters every month as
the law did not allow their being for
warded and the extra cost collected on
delivery; and few would take the
trouble to notify the sender, even if
possible to find him or her, as it sell
dom is. Then there has been no little
trouble for the senders to 60 and hunt
up weighing scales. or go to the Post
Office to find wether the postage was
correct or not.
There would seem to be some mis-.
take in the construction of the Law al
ready, arising from its peculiar word.
ing. threads that "any person. c.rcept
publishers and newsdealers," may
send such papers, etc. The purpose
of this exception WAS. we think,
evidently intended to prevent its be-
ing construed to cut off the previous
permission for publishers and news
dealers to send their publications at
the two cent pound rate. If such
persons were really cut off from the
privilege allowed to all others, it
would be !. very simple matter for
them to dump their papers into the
post-ot1ice boxes, stamp just as others
stamp them. 1t would be utterly i'm
practicable for post-masters to distin-
guish these from those mailed in the
same way by 10th ers than publishers
and newsd callers. We doubt not the
postal authorities will take this view
and construe the law accordingly. It
would be quite as well, however, for
Congress- to make simple change in
the wording so as to express the real
intention. This is an example OF
many hasty enactmellts, that get.
through legislative bodies ina crude
form Pz1iiries 1r1se1. 25s5s
