For years the circus business in
this country has been in the hands
of a few men-their names can be
counted on the fingers of both hands.
They have succeeded in 'bulling the
market" and had things very much
their own way; meantime both the
managers and their entertainments
have acquired chestnuty antiquity.
Their virtual monopoly of arenic
and geological amusements has re-
suited in our seeing the same shows
year in and year out, until the 'old,
old story" of their bombastic adver-
vertisers is worn threadbarc. Dur
ing the past winter party of capt.
alists put on foot an enterprise that
is bound to win favor at every hand.
A syndicate was formed, resulting in
the Big United States Circus and
New Great Eastern Menagerie. which
is to exhibit at Morgantown, Friday,
April 30th, proving that there is
something new under the sum-"
even in circuses and circus manage
ment.

Two More Suicides.

The details of shocking suicide
come from the neighborhood of Stew
artstown, this county. VIM. Rumble,
aged about sixty or sixty five years,
was found Thursday evening in the
edge Of the woods near the residence
of Jacob Bare, about one mile from
Stewartstown, with rope about his
neck and gun near by.
Rumble was unmarried and for
some time had been boarding with
Mr.. Bare. Thursday Mrs. Bare left
home to visit some friends, and her
husband and Rumble got their own
dinner, and Rumble was observed to
be more than USUALLY cheerful and
gay spirited. After dinner be left
the house and did not return. In
the evening Bare missed him, and
going out to look for him, was COM
pletely stunned at the sight which
met his eyes. In the edge of the
thicket hung, or rather kneeled, the
body of Rumble, the branch being
sufficiently weak to allow his body
to come to the ground. He had fast
ened a gun in the forks of the tree,
tied string to the trigger and dis
charged the contents at the same
time that he swung off from the
limb. His body was stiff and cold.
The bullet had entered his brain.
Rumble had lived with Mr. Bare
for two years and had never intimat-
ed that he contemplated taking his
own life. Two or three months ago
he made a rope out of some carpet
chain which Mrs. Bare was prepar-
ing to weave, and this rope he used
to swing himself out of existence
with. He had little money, prob
ably 5000 or 800
Our neighboring county of Greene
across the Pennsylvania line is rap
idly coming to the front as the most
celebrated suicide field in the coun-
try. Nearly every week somebody
in that bailiwick shuffles off the coil
and HES him to the land where ropes
and shotguns and strychnia are I'M
known. This week we have one
more case to report.
Last Thursday morning Miss De
lilah Mitchell, a young lady aged
about ~ years, daughter of Mr.. Asa
Mitchell, of Washington township,
Greene county, was found hanging
in dug cave near her fathers house.
Her body was still warm when
found. She had used bride rein,
fastening it to rafter in the cave
and about her neck. The family
was fearfully shocked at her tragic
and entirely unexpected death. No
cause for the deed is assigned

1.-THE Turn of the Tide company
made very successful landing, Sat
urday evening, in the presentation
Of that play. There was a very fair
sized house and an unusually atten-
tive and appreciativc one. The stage
scenery was the neatest that has
been used in that hall for many a
day, and the company deserves espe-
cial commentator on this point.
The characters were we'll assumed
in most particulars. Ofcourse there
is certain freedom and liberty
which can not come without long
experience on the stage, but what
was wanting in this was more than
made up by the good looks of the
ladies and the interest which the
audience felt in every member Of the
company. To particularize we may
say that Blair was immense as an
inebriate, Samsel was the best s'col-
ored gentleman" we have seen for a
long time, the fencing scene between
Robinson and Boyd was well execu-
ted, Miss Mamie Hogue, as the fish
erman's wife, was rich, Miss Lille
Pickenpaugh made a very success
full "Frisky," Misses Cora Donley
and Ida Davis.never looked better in
their lives and their acting was
highly appreciated by the audience.
Rymer and Montgomery were par
ticularly good as pirates.
The many friends of the perform
ers are greatly pleased with the re-
suit of the enterprise. The proceeds
are for the reading room, but it may
not be out Of place to remark in this
connection that several members of
the w. G. 7. IT,, who were particu-
larly active in the establishment of
the reading room, did not encourage
the enterprise Saturday night by
their presence. The following were

Miss Jennie Smith, the noted

an honored instrument wherever she
has held meetings in accomplishing
much good. Our people have read
of the wonderful meetings at Morgan
town, Fairmont and other points,
and the Christian people of this
community will welcome her with
outstretched arms. For sixteen
years or more she never walked
step on account Of disease, and after
medical science had exhausted its
remedies and failed to restore her,
she grasped the promises Divine, and
by faith in the Great Physician of
souls she was healed. The cot on
which she was lying at the time of
her miraculous healing, is in the
family of J. II. Rogers of this place,
and was used by his daughter dur
ing her illness. Her co-laborer, Miss
Alkaline Sherman, will likely assist
her in these meetings. All Chris
tian people of this community are
invited to unite in this good work.
