TWO BIG SHOWS.

Forepaugh and the wild West Combined
The great and only Forepaugh and
Wild West Show is coming with all itt
gorgeous attractions and lis myriads oil
strange and curious features. First and
foremost among these is the Wild West
Show, with ita weird and startling fea-
t. res. its varying shades OF light and
shadow, and the strange sensationalism
that overshadows all. Adam Forepaugh
goes further into the realism OF frontier
incidents and reproduces in his arena a
series of historical facts that to every
citizen possess a profound interest.
Clusters last rally-whIt a train OF
thought the phrase arouses in the mind
of the student OF contemporary American
hi, tory; what a vivid Imagination is
stirred in every one who knows or has
heard something about that tragic re-
minder of the dangers Of the West;
what a suggestion is created by the
spectacular representation of the melAn-
choly and wretched climax OF that fate
fIl fight at the Little Big Horn. Yet all
of this Adam Forepaugh reproduces
with an attention to minuti@ OF detail
that caused the widest speculation and
tile greatest wonderment, in New York,
where his big show has just closed
most phenomlnally successful and pros
porous season. The arenic drama of the
Little Big Horn fight is, however.
only one Of the features OF the Wild
West Exhibition. Bogardus and his
sons are there, and with their rifles and
pistols do things that make even the
most skillful marksmau's hair curl.
Young Adam Forepaugh makes a herd
of elephants dance through the figures
of quadrille. and rides bare backed
thirty steeds, the one following the 9TH
er, and engineered by his own skillful
hand alone. This is something startling
anil amazing; but it is only one of the
new features. and is quoted as an ex-
ample. All the others are on the same
par excellence--tie biggest horse In
the world, the Congress of nations, the
gladitorIal combats with broadswords
on horseback and a hundred and one
other magnetic attractions. Its date OF
is August 14th.

IT is said that since Miss Olcott's
death her pet lizard has begun to pine
away. When the actress was dying the
little animal, which is about three and
a half inches in length, was nowhere
to he seen, but shortly after all was
over it was found as motioniess as a
stone close up to her hand. Since then
it has persistently refused to accept its
usual diet of warm milk, and has taken
no food at all. Whenever Miss Olcott
appeared in ''Theodora' she wore the
lizard with her other ornaments. The
little animal had two bands Of gold
passed around its body, to one OF which
was attached a thin gold chain, one
end of which was fastened to Miss Oh
colts neck. The bright, scintillating
eyes of the lizard sparkled like dia-
monds and the effect was very beauti-

"TRE BorToN EALLs OUT,

1T is an i'll wind that blows no one
good" was well illustrated in congress
by the late deadlock in the house,
which has resulted in the omission to
consider the Springer Oklahoma bill on
the day set apart for its consideration
April IL. This will probably decide
the fate of the matter, for the present
session at least, as there is very little
interest in it manifested by residents
east of the Mississippi river, its ad-
vocacy being confined to compare
lively few residents of Kansas and
Missouri, who had hoped to make some
money out Of the thing. A peculiarly
appropriate feature of the whole affair,
however, seems to be the fact that Mr..
Springer the father of the Oklahoma
bill as now doctored, was himself one
of the fllibusters who r0sorted to
trickery in order to assist the rebel ele-
ment as against the honest war claims
of union states for money spent in the
national unity. The justice OF the two
measures, as advocated by Mr.. Spring
er, are about on par, and the defeat
Of his pet measure to open up the In
dian Territory and defraud the In
dams, has much the aspect of retribu-
tive Justice for allowing himself tn be
drawn beyond his depth in opposition
to measure of right and justice. 1t
now looks much as if the bottom had
fallen out of the big Oklahoma boom.

production is what is hurting the
farmers; that, under protection, they
are compelled to buy their goods in
the dearest market, and to sell their
products in the cheapest. We have

10000, 600 bushels of wheat in Mani

supplemented

Mr.. Parkman, superintendent Of the
natural gas well, informed us yester-
day that Major G. Hood had hand
somely supplemented the liberal dona-
ton of Senator Plumb by drawing his
check for 5000 to aid in sinking the
well to depth of 1900 feet. The
Major is generally found at the front
in all good works. If there is natural
gas within reasonable distance of the
surface he wants to know it, and, if
not, he wants TO know it. The ques-
tion should be settled to the Satisfac-
ton of all parties interested.
