Dillon Wants the Earth.

Oh! what crowd! Even the heart Of
that veteran actor and prince of COM
edians, John Dillon, must have danced
with delight as he beheld that sea Of
happy faces that greeted him at Fos-
ter's opera house last evening. 1t was
not full but perfect jam, every seat,
aisle and corner being occupied, and
when the popular favorite made his
appearance fully twelve hundred peo-
pie manifested their appreciation of his
great abilities by loud and continued
applause. The play was his new farce
comedy entitled, WANTED; the Earth"
that Is scoring great success every
where, and well IL may, for the piece
fits Dillon and Dillon fits the piece. In
fact, Mr.. Dillon has not been so happily
cast since he electrified the cOntinet In
"All the Rage" The piece is not with
out faults from a dramatic standpoint,
but like the "Bunch Of Keys" and other
light comedies, the fun is so fast and
furious that one forgets everything but
to laugh. II is also pleasure to note
that the star is not handicapped by n
weak company, each member is capa-
BILE, and some strong, and when we add
that Mr.. Dillon has lost none of his old
time fire and charm it goes without
saying that u better satisfied audience
has ever, If rarely, been within the walls
of the theater. Iosoa State Register.

Come to the Fair,

The officers Of the Audubon County
Fair Association have all arrangements
completed for the exhibition of next
week, which with the cooperation of
the public will be the best yet held. The
grounds are in fine condition and the
additions Of new buildings to the
grounds for the convenience of people
and stock exhibits will be greatly
appreciated. There is ample room in
the amphitheater from which to wit
ness the races and amusements. The
premium list is the largest ever offered
and extends great inducements to ex-
hibitQrs. Premiums were paid in full
last year and will be again in 1888 The
line of amusements is exceeding large
and varied, so numerous that the diff
ferent contests follow in rapid success
sion on the program, making it neces-
sary for the spectator to come early
and stay late, If he would see all. Let
everybody come and have good time
and contribute their presence and pat,
ronage to the county enterprise.

On Thursday evening the play

place. Taking into consideration
the amount of experience the men,
bers of this company have had and
that this was their fourth appear
ance before the pnblic, they did ex-
ceedingly well. The cast of char
acters were as follows: Robt. True
worth, soldier, T. G. Robinson; ;
Wilder Rowell, guardian of Gayle
Clifford, w. s. Tussing; Hosea
jerks, auctioneer, Vic. H. Teusch-
er; Hiram jerks, his son, A. M.

w. s. Tussing played the part of
the william to perfection. Vic. H.
Teuscher was the drawing card
and with a little practice would be
~ good commedian. Miss Tessa
played her part we'll and would
certainly make success of the
stage as profession. The entire
company had their parts well
learned and it is without a doubt
one of the best amateur troops that
ever appeared on our boards. Should
they make return date we feel
safe in promising them q crowded
house.

THE greatest invention OF modern
domestic service and social progress is
that of peripatetic servant girls.
Washington has q band of impecuni-
Gus ladies, who are organized to go
from house to house to clean lamps,
sweep parlors, dust and care for brio
a-brac, and see to such affairs as can
not safely be trusted to common SER
want girls. Everyone knows what
feminine sins this will obviate, to say
nothing of broken china and articles
impossible to replace when once
broken. The mother, or housekeeper,
can even dispense with some of her
regular servants. Why not extend
the system so as to cover nearly all
the needs OF household? 1t opens q
chance for poor women of refinement;
it would relieve many q household of
the terrible girl questionable torture
of enduring vicious or low.bred per-
sons in more or less close contact
with children. Indeed, it is the most
feasible and hopeful of modern social
inventions. Let us have drilled corps
of peripatetic housekeepers.

'CANvAssING" will forthwith acquire
a new and much more literal mean
ing. A political canvass has been g.
misnomer; indeed, no one really knew
why it was called canvass at all.
Old English, however, explained it in
the word canvas, to sift," or separate.
The canvasser sits the people, or in
spects them. But in the recent New
York canvass g. hearty prohibition
advocate took q tent from town to
town, singing and praying and talking
temperance. The result was g. gain of
I ZOO votes in one county. His old
canvas tent did the work. Other par
ties are now arranging to adopt the
tent plan next year. We shall prob.
ably see the country ''canvassed" this
time in the full sense of the word; and
the people will not be at q loss to un-
derstand what the word means.

BILLS for national bankruptcy law
have been introduced in Congress dur
ing the present session. Similar bills
have received more or less attention
during almost every session OF Con-
gress since the repeal of the old bank
ruptcy act some ten years ago. Meas
ures of this kind have met with very
strenuous, and thus far successful, op-
position in recent Congresses. Com
mercial bodies in the eastern cities
strongly favor the enactment Of q ma
tional bankruptcy law, but the oppo-
sition from the Southern and Western
states has thus far proved strong
enough to defeat it. Advices from
Washington are to the effect that adj
vocates of such a law have been sound
ing members Of the present Congress,
and are not greatly encouraged. They
are, indeed, pretty well satisfied that
they will not succeed in securing what
they want during the present session.
They propose, however, to make g.
vigorous effort in the hope of accom-
plishing something before the end of
the second session. 1t is to be hoped
that they will succeed in making an
impression upon Representatives from
''away back" from whom the most Of
the opposition comes.

SIR CHARLES dixie, England's ablest
writer on political affairs, If not her
best genius for politics, says IN some
recent speculations on the British
army, that the Canadians, in addition
to an enormous nominal militia
force, keep up q real force OF about
$4,000 men, consisting OF excellent
troops, but weak in cavalry and ar
tillery, and too weak altogether to re-
sist q sudden American invasion. In
the event of war there would be men
enough, but Canada would be short OF
trained officers. The capture OF Que
bee would ensue, with a loss of the
small.arm mandatory. In case OF
war with Russia, England would be
unable TO aid Canada, and Rs a result
'the Russians would be able to cap
ture Vancouver" This, however.
would depend on French alliance
with Russia" The wisest thing in
England would be to give Vancouver
to the United States. We can take
care of such g. charming island against
the world.

A BOOK of complaints is kept in
the city hall of Boston. In it any
citizen may make a complaint of the
officials OF the city government. His
name, however must be signed to it.
There is presumably some penalty for
making unfounded Or malicious re-
ports. Otherwise frivolous people
would be playing practical jokes or the
names of others betorged to bogus COM
plants. Every morning the COM
plants are referred to the different
departments and g. good many small
abuses and neglects set right. Under
proper restrictions it is q good scheme
for any city. Officials would feel that
they were being watched and might
do their duty a little more strictly,
or at least not neglect it so much.

up the Texarkana and Texas train rob-
berry. Last week they arrested Jones

and gave the names of thirteen men
whom he connected with the robbery
rat Deming, New Mexico, and the ones

The Chicago Printers.

The Chicago Typothet9 issued circu-

II. Blakely, it's president, setting forth
the position of the Tvpothete. The
claim made by the Typographical Union
that the Offices involved in the strike
had discharged all the non-union men
who came to Chicago to supply the
places Of union men is stamped
as false by the Typothet@. The Typo
thet@ was canvassed for the purpose of
obtaining an accurate statement of the
number who went out on the strike and
also those now employed. 1t was found
that the total number who went
out was 5O3 and 5l3 men were found at
work in the different offices, of whom
but ten remain in the union. Those
having renounced the union number
106, the balance being non-union men at
the time of the strike. The circular
closes as follows:
"The utmost harmony prevails in ev-
cry Typotheta composing room. The
Typothet8 itself is strongly cemented,
and entirely satisfied with the result
and future prospects. The emergency
