COLES BIG SHOW COMING
Reinforced with DIR. w. F.
Carver's "Wild West"
Combination.

w. w. Cole, whose fame as an
amusement pnrveyor u as wide as
the continent itself, has perfected al
the necessary arrangements tor the
appearance Of his great tented ag-
gregation in Russellville, on Wednes-
day, Oct Is. DIR. Cole has long
been held in high esteem in this
community as progressive, liberal
manager, and, as his organization
for this season is generally regarded
as his most notable amusement un
dertaking, the indications point to
gratifying financial results ON the oc
casion OF his approaching visit. Mr..
Cole is said to be animatsd- bv the
sentiment that "circus chestnuts
must GO" and, with that laudable
purpose in view, he brought his tre-
mendous resource of wealth, energy
and artistic Judgement into requisi-
tion in procuring his arenic attrac-
tions for the present tour. The i'm
portations of European artists have
been very extensive, while the best
of the American performers have
enlisted under the Cole banner.
We are creditably informed that
there IL not PAssE perfOrmaBce
among the seventy distinct sets Of
the deliberately varied programme,
but that every stteaction possesses
the charm Of novelty. One OF Mr..
Coles Just added features is COM
plete reproduction Of the hippodrome
carniyals Of ancient Rome. These
races are given with startling real,
ism that has hitherto been unat.
tanned in modern times. Forty En-
glish and Kentucky thoroughbred
running horses, ridden and driven
by professional jockeys and drivers,
contest for supremacy on Manager
Coles veritable race track, which lie
pronounced By good judges to be
the longest race course ever seen
under canvas in this country. An.
other striking innovation will be the
presentation Of stirring pictures OF
frontier life, by DR.. w. +. Carver's
famous "Wild West" combination.
Prominently appearing with Dr.
Carver in his mimic scenes Of the
romantic West-whch are produced
on the great hippodrome track--are
100 noted scouts, cowboys, Indians
and Mexican vaqueros. Coles com
ing will be awaited with no little
eagerness in this vicinity.

II is thought the House will concur with
the Senate amendment to the Oleomargar-
inc bill without referring it to a commit
tee. A tax of two cents per pound upon
the natent butter is n small matter. But
it certainly involves 4 bad principle. If
this oleomargarine is poisonous or detrl-
mental to health its manufacture should
be prohibited altogether. But this was
not shown.
lit is wholesome, but has an Odor so
rank that it smells to heaven, and when
eaten on Monday morning for breakfast
can still BE- tasted on Saturday evening for
supper, OF course people are not going to
buy it. Since all oleOmargarine is to be
stamped with its name, people would be
rs likely TO knowingly buy rotten hen
fruit, rs to buy OleOmargarine, ifitisSo dis
tasteful, and the occupation Of the olco-
margarine maker would soon be gone. In
this ease, tax to protect the butter maker
is entirely unnecessary.
But if oleomargarinc is cheap, whole
some and palatable food, the olcomarga-
rine makers have rs good right to ask that
butter be taxed rs the butter workers have
to ask that Ole0margarinc be taxed. Taking
this rs a precedent the farmers who SOW 4
kind of wheat that doesn't produce rs well
rs some of their neighbors' wheat, have a
right 10 "0'--"d that the what ""iS"I .hv
their ncighbOrS be taxed. Men raising
different kinds of cattle wnuld I"''e TIC
same riobt Following ont this principle
~. rouId have every man asking that he
be protected by having every other MAJ
taxed for his special benefit.
But having OlcOmarglrinc labeled is 4
good measure. Such 4 law ought to be
extended to thousands Of other articles.
The man who makes shoes with paper sOlcs
should label them paper sOled;' COnnec-
ticut nutmegs should be labeled wooden
nutmegs;" a good many Ofthe animals sold
for spring chickens should be labeled
Spring chicken from Mr.. NOAH's
ark" shoddy cloth and cloth
ing should be marked 'shoddy," and
So on down the list. Every manufactures
should stamp the name Of his firm and the
character of his goods upon all his pro-
ducts, and the men that counterfeit or
practice deceit in selling should be dealt
rs severely with as those who make or
handle counterfeit money. This would
keep the people Of the country from being
cheated out of millions of dollars annually.

TIE OLDEST AMERICAN CITY.
Albany, n. ", Celebrates the i-Cente
niaI OF Its Incorporation.

When. in 1903, Hendrick Hudson left
Holland, it was with the intention OF md
ing a northwest passage to India and h
M, but the neare:t he came TO the object
of his search was Albany, II. Y. As he
entered New York harbOr, COney Island,
even had no attraction for i'm. emma or
''bust, seems to have been his motto, for
he even gave the island Of Manhattan the
could shoulder, and sailed up the Hudson
till his craft, the Half Moon, was stuck IN
the mud. The present city Of Hudson
marks the spot. From here the mate and
four sailors padded up as far as Albany,
hut finding only Indians, they turned
hack. Had HudsOn's mariners continued
ON 10 the present Troy, they would have
seen enough pigtails in the celebrated in
uuiries thereabout to have led them to the
belief that the FlOwery Kingdom could no
b. far away.
On HudSon's return to Europe the an
nOuncement of his discoveries aroused the
ENTERPRISE of the old Dutch merchants
and they fitted out several expeditions to
investigate the new land. These nayiga-
tors explored the American coast from Mas
sachusetts to Virginia, pre-emptlng the
whole territory. They would have con-
tinued their explorations and laid claim ia
the remainder of the undiscovered earth,
but for the fact that it did not pay, 1t did
not -eturn what their descendants call
'.booair." So they turned to the more
profitable calling Of trading with the ma
tivcs. That is exchanging cheap gin and
trinketS for the valuable skins and hides
collected by the Indians. As Albany was
mt that time the great meeting ground OF
the various tribes, it was chosen rs the
most suitable site for u trading post.

THE REPUBLICAN GATHERING At
PARKERSBUR6--FOR wHATS

FIIIE KFBObAakNAN
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. WHArf
As the time draws near for the meeting
Of Republicans at Parkersburg on the 2Sth,
it is very interesting to see the trembling
that has seized several of II Republican
eotemporarieS. They are with q nervous
eagerness urging the Importance Of this
meeting as if the salvation Of the g. o. p.
were depending upon it. Indeed, the call
sent out by the committee and the illusions
of some of the Republican papers remind
MS of old revolutionary times when a call
was issued for an assemblage of the disor-
ganized, scattered, disheartened patriots
to be held sharply at the hour of midnight
on Boston Common, lest everything De
lost.
But the comparison can go no
further than in fear and diSor-
sanitation. The men assembled by these
nrgent calls had something to meet Tor,
some principle to be maintained, but the
promiscious gathering of Republicans will
be for something they know not what
There is 10 be no convention; the times Tor
holding conventions are not to be hXed; no
delegates are to be appointed, and no one
knows of anything that can be lone eN-
cent 10 meet together in a confused, jun
bled mass and denounce the luck that has
given good crops and kept away the grass
bonpers. mourn over the disastrous increase
in the State school fund, and curse things
in general that have been knocking RepuD-
lean campaign thunder all ont OF time
But this will not satisfy many OF
the Assembled Republicans, and
it will be amusing to hear
Republicans who have been enticed
to the meetings saying: IL wish was at
home. What in the devil am here tor?'
The confusion seems all the greater when
10 little reliance is placed upon the Repu-
blican State Central Committee. The
State Executive Committee orders the
Central Committee to call in the Repu-
blicans of the State. But what for? Is
the identity of this committee to be lost?
Can mo- dependence BE- placed upon 1t IN
these hours of trouble? Is its work to be
taken out of its hands?
