The Wallace Circus

The first circus this year has come AM
gone. Their entrance into our town
was so quietly done that their presence
was hardly known outside the jepot
grounds and the route from thence tc
Morgan's grove where the tents were
pitched. A more orderly company has
never visited our town. The street par.
ade was a grand affair. We have seer
larger aggregations, but none to surpass
this in elegance of outfit and order. In
short, the company performed all they
advertised and gave excellent satisfaction
to the two large audiences which wit
messed their performance.
Several feats performed by members
of the company, we have never before
seen, notably the flying sailor" The
various artists filled the role of their
parts with commendable excellence.
While the throwing of the knives and
tomahawks evinced great skill, yet we
think that feature of this, as well as
from all other circuses, were better
omitted.
The menagerie takes secondary place
in the bills. but deserves larger mention
on that account. The animals exhibited
are those of the choicer and rarer kinds.
Thanks to the gentlemanly press agent,
who, by the way is Willis Cobb Of
Cleveland, Ohio, (his name slone being
in our estimation fine recommendation
for this show, we inspected tie whole
establishment Behind the Scenes" as
it were, The stables containing 1876
superb horses are well worth seeing, and
herein is made possible a prominent
feature of the street parade. The work
men are dined in a tent, while the
actors and company generally travel
and board in their cars. The stove on
which was cooked the supper about to
be eaten was composed Of three pieces
of boiler iron, suggestion worth some
thing to those camping out.
The side shows were all they were ad-
vertised to be, ami we take great pleas
ure in giving the Wallace Company the
need of praise they are entitled to.
Three bands accompany the show, there
is one steam calliope and one mechanical
music box, all of which add greatly TO
the street parade.

YOUNG REPUBLICAN CLUB

Feeling that it has become incumbent
upon themselves to do the work and
bear the rough and tumble Of the COM
ing campaign, vigorous movement is
now on foot to organize club of young
Republican voters with the object OF
reaching by personal influence and ex-
ample, that large class of doubtful vot-
ers between the age of twenty-one and
forty who waver and vacillate between
the parties, having no settled political
opinion.
Already some one hundred names are
on the list, which has been circulated
but few hours. 1t is proposed to OBJ
tain suitable headquarters, the store and
rooms lately occupied by McEowen q
Wood, and open a campaign club room
to be supplied literally with literature
and newspapers from all sections of the
State and United States, and which
rooms shall be closed only late at night.
Here also may be held meetings of the
members Of the club, committees, ETC.,
for the transaction of business and the
large store room affords ample space
and accommodations for speeches and
rallies.
1t is desired and requested that every
young Republican and every one else
who is q voter in the town, between the
ages Of twenty-one and forty, come out
square toed for the protection of Ameri-
can industries and the Republican party
and add his name to the increasing list
of the members of the club.

Moxie Craze Among the Racers,

During the great walking match in New Yorl,
the leading men, Peter Panchott, SOS mile f. O.
Moore, 53l miles; Sinclair. the Scotch champion,
and Fred Miles, 5l3 miles, used Moxie through
out the week, and declared Il the most maryellou,
inyigoratOr they ever saw. Some took bottles
each day. They were surprised that It left no
reaction, like stimulants, and did not seem to
lose its effect after large use Some say that they
are going to use IL more freely next time, and
believe they can clear the 600 mile limit quite
easily they did not put forth their best effort,
from fear Of reaction, and break down the last
Of the race. Most Of them believed il was a
stimulant in disguise, as they did not know what
great nerve and muscle support In future races.
The actresses are as enthusiastic over It as the
pads.

German Student BeerDrinkers.

a writer in a late number of the Cornhil
Magazine describes at length the German
Kneipe, or beer drinking club for German
students. In some of the German universe
ties these beer drinking clubs have regular
sessions, and the drinking is carried on with
much formallty. and the quantity consumed
is well-nigh Incredible.
1t is no uncommon thing" saws this
writer for a student to drink from tueatu
to thirty pints of beer in the course Of a single
club meeting, What would appear
quite impossible is accomplished in
, way as disgusting as can we'll be con
ceived The difficulty this writer adds,
is met by artl'icially creating a vacuum.
The beer honorable, full to bursting point,
/ makes a momentary exit from the club-room
and sticks a fings- in his throat. The titilla-
ton Of the uvuia produces a result that may
be better imagined than described. and the
berry champion returns to his place relieved
of his previous potations and ready for fresh
ones.
No young man can SO through such drink
ing bouts in his college life and not deterior
ate morally and physically, 1t is TO tina,
sort of personal liberty" and general demon
allzation that we should drift rapidly in thi:

which here obtains, and If the beer makers
and vendors were allowed unrestricted sway.
