Mr.. F. C. Hoppe has purchased the
stock of merchant tailoring goods of l.
Libcrman and will hereafter conduct the
business at the old stand, which was es-
tsblished three years ago. Mr. Hoppe

this city, where he has lived and worked

The Legislature .

There has been more or less con lecture
of late as to who will be the minority
representative TO the state legislature
from the Twenty first district this fall
Two years ago Hon. j. II. Paddelford,
of Cleaveland, Henry county, was elect-
ed, and his name will probably be
placed before the convention again. Re-
Gently the friends of John T. Ksnworihy,
Esq, have been very active in presenting
his name to the democratic voters of the
county, and they assert that he will not
have the least trouble in securing the full
delegation from this county. The
supporters Of Mr. Kcnworthy have
no grievance against Mr. Pad
delford, but they feel that the
large interests of this county demand
the attention of a home man thor
oughly acquainted with the needs anc
requirements of the hour. Besides they
argue that Mr.. Kenworthy's candidacy
will be of benefit to the county and con
gressional ticket. AS a keen, sagaciou'
man, able scholar and parlimentarian
and a candid and honest citizen. Mr..
Kenworthy would command a strong fol
lowing in any convention.

The Hon. W. Ii Neece, the present
active and efficient democratic member
of congress from our neighboring con-
gressional district in Illinois, has won for
himself great popularity for the prompt
ness with which he has attended to all
business sent to him by soldiers. not only
IN his own district, but out of the state.
Many old soldiers, widows and pension
ers here are under a lasting debt of graft
tude to him for his aid in getting their
claims acted upon. He has taken pains
in giving them his personal attention.
He is the kind of n congressman who
should be re,elected. He is a faithful
representative and servant of the people.
--heokuk Democrat.
Many old soldiers III the 18th district
can testify to the truthfulness of the
above. We have several in Carthage
who are today drawing pensions which
have been procured through the personal
efforts of Mr.. Niece. and but for him
their claims would never have been rec
ognized He has proved himself to be a
friend to the soldier and faithful repre-
sentative of his constituents, and should
be returned to congress, as he undoubt
eddy will be.--Carthage journal.

To be considered of importance in these
days of modern inventions and appli-
ances, one must keep abreast of the times
in which we live. This is what has made
p. T. Barnum famous the world over,
and made his show the greatest on earth.
He has everything in his exhibition that
is new, and every act or novelty, animal,
bird, or feature that has been invented,
discovered or unearthed in any part of
the world is to be found under the big
tents of his show-the Barnum and Ions
don united nine shows. This season the
show is larger in SIZE and richer in novel
ties than ever before in its history, and
has grown to such monstrous proportions
that its 100 acts can be exhibited in moth
ing less than four rings. and its 800 ex-'
pert performers are distributed all over
the space allotted for the performerers, in
the air, the rings. hippodrome track, and
every part of the ten acres covered by the
big canvas The show this year consists
of a triple circus-three companies
museum of living wonders. two mcnag-
cries, avlary; elephant pavilion, with a
herd OF elephants ranging in size from a
dwarf to a mammoth; Roman hippodrome
races, elevated stage performances; the
remarkably life>like reproduction Of jun
DO, and his enormous skeleton, mounted
by Prof H. A. Wood, of Rochester;
Alice, the discopsolate widow of Jumbo,
from the Royal Geological Gardens, Ions
don; the greatest collection of huge giants
ever seen, comprised in the International
Congress of Giants; hosts of European
novelties, troupe of astonishing Bedouin
Arabs herds of giant camels. 500 Nor
man draught horses, ponies, etc. 80 gol>
den carved chariots, 10 railroad cars, 7
advertising cars, 500 people; all told, a
daily expense of $1,000 and capital of
100000. The street parade, which
can be compared to nothing of its kind
ever seen before, represents 81 5000
in solid cash, and will take place at S
O'Clock in the morning on Thursday
Aug. 18th, and two performances will be
given at 2 and s p. m. This is the last
chance any one has to see these enormous
shows, as they sail for Europe in the fall.
