WELCOME JUMBO!
He Positively Comes Saturday
Oct. 18th and With Him
the Giant Of Won
derland.
The Barnum and London Nire
Greatest Shows on Earth, in
All Their Metropolitan
Splendor and Undi-
vided Vastness.

The BAZoo is about to sound a clarion
note which will ring joyfully in the ears
OF the multitude who find in ii friend.
philosopher, guide and abstract and brief
character of the busy worlds varied doings.
Ssdslia is to have a rousing, glad and glo-
rious holiday with Barnum and Jumbo, on
Saturday October 4th. One might as we'll
claim that the Jets from garden sprinkler
exceed in volume and grandeur the mist
enshrOuded watery avalanche of Niagara,
as to deny tie first place In all the world
to such show as the great Barnum and
London. At time when others show a
disposition to curtail and retrench, and
move with a timidity amounting TO actual
cowardice, ii comes to the front with a
herd Of forty elephants; builds bigger can
vases, fills them with bigger troupes and
collections runs bigger trains, makes big
GER parade, and even draws bigger crowds
than ever. To an editor who questioned
the wisdom of the policy, the Napo-
leonic old manager, recently,
shrewdly replied "Our policy
is to offer the public the most substantial
inducements TO wait Tor us, and the tighter
the purse strings are drawn, the greater
the necessity of making them wait. This
year tens of thousands of people, who
generally patronize every circus that
comes along, will content themselves with
one, and We mean to make ours that one.
You see for yourself the result here, and it
is the same everywhere. We give the
public a great deal the most for their
money, and consequently get Whist money
they have to spare for the luxury of a
sightseeing holiday"
Jumbo, the colossal, central guadrupedal
figure in the amusement world, about
whom more has been written, said and
heard in every quarter of the globe than
all the presidential candidates combined,
will loom up among US for the first and
only time, as he returns TO England in
October. The curiosity to see this most
noble and gentle lord of all the beasts is
universal, and he alone would attract
multitude.
The only genuine Sacred White ele-
plant ever seen outside of Asia. and other
costly and rare attractions of the two me
nageries; the rare chronological congress of
strange savage tribes, the museum, three
circuses in three rings, Roman hippodrome
and huge elevated stage for The display Of
OlympIan games, are among the notable
features too numerous to mention while
the street pageant is something beyond
description. Are you coming? "Well, /

BRAVE WORDS
Spoken by a Brave Man for Brave
Men.

The following worthy tribute BY fully
SIS worthy and able man, Major John Y.
Edwards, of the St. Joseph Gazette, to two
of the Sixth districts MODEST sons, will
besr oft repeating because of their truth
and Justice, and because of their SOUL
breathing earnestness without a shadow of
1dttery:
"The Hon. John Cosgrove has been beat
en- for re nomination 10 congress in the
Sixth district, which would have meant a
reelection, while the Hon. John L. Heard
will 60 In his stead. Ii was pity to have
beaten Cosgrove, especially to have beaten
him after the kind OF warfare made upon
him that was made, none OF which, how
ever, his successful opponent had any hand
in. The democratic party never had a
truer friend its principles more absolute
and devoted champion,
he STOOD IN ITs RANKS
in Central Missouri, and always by the
standard, when it required something else
besides the mere exercise OF political ale
glance His faith was of the church mill
tant, and none went further than he to de-
mand the right, and none took more chan
ces to insist upon and secure il. In con
gress he made a representative worthy OF
Missouri.
ALWAYS AT HIS POST.
A tireless worker. Expressilg in unmis-
taxable terms the wishes of his people up
on all questions which concerned
their welfare. Strong in commit
tee and personally popular with
the whole house, he was just getting into a
a position where be could have largely in
creased his capacity for good and brought
10 his work q greater and more valuable
experience Hence, we say again, that it
was pity 10 have beaten him.
However, if il had to come, no man bet
ter understands the fate of war than John
Cosgrove, and no man will accept that fate
more calmly bravely and accomplishing
ly. This further fact in addition should
also console him If he has had some Bit
ter and INSCRIPTIONS enemies, he has also
had some true and mistaken friends.
As to the man who is TO be his success
sor, it is
FORTUNATE FOR THE DISTRICT
that that man is John T. Heard. Other
good men we're also in the race against
Cosgrove, some of them of considerable
experience in matters of legislation, but
Heard will par excellence, MAKE VAL
liable congressman. He has the energy
of steam engine to begin with. He is as
capable as any body. 1t is not necessary
that he should De an orator, because the
man who does the gmost At Washington
City, and succeeds the best in results, never
speaks
ONLY WHEN IT u ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY,
and then as briefly as possible. He has
already large acquaintance at the ma
tional capital. and as much public expert
ence as usually falls to the lot OF one who
is no older and who has been engaged In
many active pursuits other than politics.
Those who know John Heard know that q
more incorruptible man does not live, and
that his people, whatever else happens,
can always rely upon his integrity, ability,
and democracy"

Not a Colonel.

The successful canvas made by r. T.
Gentry of Sedalia for the Office of state
treasurer is one of the most encouraging
symptoms of the times in Missouri. Mr..
Gentry is not colonel )" he is neither a
union man" nor Confederate" nothing
in fact, but an active, energetic, brainy
young American, and if he is nominated
for the place he is seeking We will feel JUS
titled in stating that the war is over, no
matter how much Gen. 10, Shelby may be
shocked by the announcement.-St. Louis
Chronicle.

THIS issue of THE ARKANsAv TRAv- ELRR contains the second installment of Rev. s. H. Buchanan's reply to inger- soil Dr. Buchanan, it will be seen by every thinking reader, defends the faith in an able manner. He does not attempt to cover up that part of the christian creed which its enemies declare to be the most vulnerable, but with a logical earnestness which no one can help but admire, he defends the supernatural. The current and the proceeding paeer show that the doctor has made christian evidence a lifelong study. or course, there are maAy people who will affirm that he has introduced no convincing proof. but there are also many persons whose faith will be strengthened.

[" IF we could only remember the ideas we have lost what a b> ,k they would make," says a magazine writer. The ideas you have lost, if you have lost any, would make a much better book than the ideas you have on hand " at present. Ideas are needed in the construction of books. This is not adhered to as rule, still the most successful books contain ideas. Even books of philosophy, such as Huxley and Herbert Spencer write, would be better if they possessed ideas.

 "Our glory can better be erempIi6ed in the court room" said be. When the angel of light walks in, the judge wiIl fall from the bench. Be ye not afraid, but trust"
 Faith was restored. The court room was crowded. The fanatics had em- ployed no defense, and the lawyer whom the court appointed, brought forward the well worn plea of insanity.
 "I wish to say word, judge" The preacher arose. We are not insane. No man can say that have ever been guilty ot an insane action. We are not fanatics, but believers in the true religion. We knew that we would be arrested and brought to trial, but we know that an agent of heaven, in his own good time, will enter this court room and vindicate us"
 Again the members of the committee lost faith. The trial, after two weeks duration, came to a close. The people demanded the severest punishment. Old man Parker was released. Petroid and Nickleferd were sentenced to be hanged, and the other members of the committee were sentenced to twenty-one years in the penitentiary.
 "Cheer up, brother" said Petroid to Nickleford as they sat in their cell the night before the execution. Tomorrow the glory of the"
 "Dry up with that glory racket. We are going to be hung as dead as h-n, and we deserve to be-"
 The preacher smiled. "You have no, so much faith as l."
 "But I've got a blamed sight more sense."

 Bravely they marched to the place oi execution. Without a tremor they as. cended the scaf1old. Only one moose had been provided. The people had ex pressed desire to sec one hanged at a time.

"Yes, my husband is a peculiar man about some things" remarked Mrs. Mangos to her caller, Mrs. Pebley. "He will trust the judgment of any one excep, in the matter of beef-steak. This, he de ciares, no one but himself can select. Early every morning, no matter how cold the weather may be, he gets out of bed before the fires are made and goes down to the butchers. Many a time have asked him why he did not bring the mea, as he comes home in the evening, but he declares that meat should always be SC. lected at morning. Sometimes he can. not find meat to suit him, and then he comes home without any"
