A GILT EDGED" SHOW.

Among the peripatetic exhibitions
of the day, there are none that have
received prominence more signal
and pronounced than that of Sells
Brothers; nor are we able to re-
cord an instance of any tented exhib-
ition giving more general and merit
cd satisfaction. Its every act and
feature is remarkable and the MAORI
ty can well be charactized as "pheno-
menal." An adroit, senatorial and
entirely original act, that of riding,
refining and driving twenty-three
bareback horses, by Mr.. William.
O'Dell, will commend itself to all low
ers of the difficult and. dashing in
equestrianism. OF Mr.. Showles eie-
CANT and artistic bareback riding,
and of Mr.. William Sells hurricane
hurdle riding" we have had occasion
to speak in former seasons, and futher
commentator is now supertluous.
So it is with the graceful, poetic and
perfected bareback riding Of Senorina
Caroni. OF gymnastic and athletic
exploits by large company of aero
bats and athletes, there is such
bewildering and sense-astounding
multiplicity that comment IS non
plused, and to speak of the unquali-
fled merits of each in detail would
far transcend our limits. We can not
close this article, however, without
brief mention of the champion wing
fancy aud rifle shots of the world,
Capt. A. II. Bogardus, "The Man
Who Shoots to KILL" and his four re-
sons each of whom exempli-
fly all the possibilities of the gun.
The show will exhibit here Thursday

The Legislature adjourned Friday

The Legislature adjourned Friday.
The members held an "Irish wake"
during its last expiring agonies. Dur
ing its existence it demonstrated its
utter inability to master questions of
Importance, and it will go down into
history as the most thoroughly inefli-
Client assembly that ever convened in
Frankfort. In round numbers 1900
bills were introduced 1,57l ube-
came laws, 60 were vetoed, aud only
200 of them were Of general nature.
The responsibility of investigating
the l.. 10 N. lobby was thrust upon
the Franklin Circuit Court at the last
minute ON report that is almost
sulphurous. Lige Sebree showed up
with considerable influence which he
skilfully used to kill the only bill the
people of IIopkinsville were heartily
interested ip. lie could have been
the leader of his side had he wanled
to. Senator Lunsford also acquired
reputation for. shrewdness and sa.
gacity which he promptly used
against our Ward bill. About all
wecan say in conclusion is that we
congratulate the people that it will
be two years before we have another
Legislature. ~ dat, " if-

ton as a suitable delegate to the ST.
Louis convention from the State at
large.
3. ResolUed, That we heartily ell
dorse the administration of Grover

he is our first and last choice for a
second term.
3. ReSolved, That Gov. S. b. Buck
ner in his administration of the Exec
utive branch of the State government
has added new laurels to the wreath
that already adorned his brow, and
that in his tirmness in duty, his rigid
examination of all vicious legislation,
and his free exercise of the veto pow
er, he has exhibited not only care
full regard for the public good, but
shown the highest qualities of states
manship,"

The Devil Fish Described by Hugo

The Devil Fish Described by Hugo
 Is not more tenacious monster than
 malaria, whether it takes the form of chills and fever, bilious remittent, ague cake or dumb ague. Like the ocptupus ofthe story it clasps the vic tim in its tentacula, and holds him closer and closer Tn a horrible em
 brace. Attacked with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, however, it gradu- ally relaxes it's tremendous grip, fin ally 'abandons it, and the quondam sufferer, liberated at last, rejoices in the sense of new born freedom, en. gendered by the restoration of com. plete health. Dyspepsia, too, and constipation, those old and remorse- less, enemies of the human family, give ground, and are finally driven from the field by this Napoleon of remedies, the greatest, the purest in the family pharmacopoeia. Rheu. matism succumbs to it, so do kidney troubles. The nerves, when over strained, regain quietude and vigor by its aid, and the ability to rest tran. quilly and eat with zest are increased by it. Resort to it in time and avoid suffering. y

Let Her Go, Gallagher.

The familiar expression, "Let her go, Gallagher" had it's origin some thing over year ago in New Orleans It was during the strike of the car drivers. The Gallagher, whose name is now household word was the first driver to start a car from the depo, in opposition to the wishes of the strikers. He stood on the front plat form, one hand on the brake lever, the other holding the lines, while a mob of malcontents tried to howl him down from his stand. "Let her go, Gallagher" the superintendent called out when the time for starting came, and Gallagher let her go. This broke the back bone of the strike, and in a day or two every car in the city was running as usual. --Ex.
