WAl-POlE.

Keene and Bellows Falls had a circus,
last week, well advertised by large
pictorial posters, witnessed by crowds of
people; so we, too, had small circus,
at least some exercises pertaining to a
circus, and lofty tumbling,
somersaults of animals, as we'll rs men,
rivalling Forepaugh and Barnum in
successful result, an experience of ac-
tors only, witnessed by nobody because
it was too dark to be seen. Friday even
ing, a horse and buggy conveying Fred
Slade and Peter Blake home from the
circus in your village, turned somer-
sault from bridge, near Esdras Smiths,
elevated some 10 to II feet from the bed
of brook. The horse and Slade es-
capped uninjured, while the buggy and
Blake We're found by aid of lantern in
a somewhat mutilated condition in the
brook. Fortunately the water was low,
or Blake had been drowned. He was
tished out and taken to the house of Mr..
Smith, when an examination by sur
geOn revealed a fracture of the left ell
bow!oint and slight injury to the
left hip. He will call upon the town for
damage on account of insufiiciency of
highway.
A day or two previous to the circus,
and after the pictorial posters of hippo
drome were put up, two horses with a
load of sand, driven by j. w. Esterbrook,
turned somersault into the ravine just be-
low G. E. Andrews blacksmith-shop,
without injury to anybody or anything.
Mr.. Esterbrook jumped off before the
catastrophe, and one horse squealed from
fright. Whether the success of these
two adventures are due to the posting of
the pictorial representation of noted
feats in legerdemain by Forepaugh's
circus, is a question for discussion by
the Chautauqua club.
Besides few relatives of the late
Thomas Bellows, two Congregational
churches in Alstead, the Congregational
church in this village, the Christian
church in the Hollow, and the American
Board of Foreign Missions, are bene-
ficiaries of his will.

A wonderful escape from instant death
was that of Frank Kingsbury, four
year-old. who fell, last Monday forenoon,
over the top of a fence enclosing an up
per piazza, Ga good II feet) head fore
most, striking his head with full force
of the fall on the jagged edge of a stone
doorstep. He was picked up for dead,
but after he was carried to the sink and
cold water dashed in his face, he began
to breathe. DR.. Goodenow was called,
who stopped the blood from some small
arteries that were severed, and failing to
find a fracture of the skull, cleansed the
wound and sewed it up. The child lay
wholly unconscious, or nearly so, for 7
hours, then gradually regained conscious
ness. Skin and hair plastered on the
edge of the rock proves where the blow
was, and probably a dozen persons saw
the fall, and everyone believed the child
dead. An older person, whose bones
were less elastic, would have been killed
instantly, or their skull been broken
even with no harder blow. What the re-
suit of the fall will be. no one can know
at present. We can only feel that it is
scarcely less than a miracle that the
child is alive now.

New York has another big labor war
on her hands, in the form of brick
makers lookout. Four yards at Ver-
plancks, on the Hudson, were boycotted
by laborers because of refusal to dis
charge non-union hands. The result is a
federation of nearly or quite all the
brick-workers who supply the New York
market, who have agreed to shut dowa
their yards till the boycott on the Yer
plancks yards is raised. This practically
suspends building operations, and stub
born fight is anticipated.

That Wichita people are scattered all

favorable remarks were made on Wichita

CONQUEST AND ooNoUERoR.
The Six Valiant Misses-The One that Didn't
Miss-Edna KirkwOod the Victor.

Owing to the many attractions in the
city the attendance at the DemoreSt ora
torical contest at Emporia Avenue NJ. E.
church last night was not as large as was
expected, but the entertainment was
grand affair throughout.
The contestants for the Demorest silver
medal were: Lulu COvel, Jessie Chris
topher, Stella Aldendifer, Bradie billiard,
Edna Kirkwood and Lizzie StahI. on the
program in the order named.
Before the contest commenced, some
who were acquainted with the progress of
the class in their rehearsals, thought they
could guess who the victor would be, but
as the contest proceeded, all did so we'll
even exceeding all expectation-that it was
generally thought the judges would have
a critical task in rendering decision; but
on reaching next TO the last one on the list
it was soon discovered that the original
prediction of some was right, and ii is safe
to say that the entire audience had made
up their verdict before the judges, Prof.
NJ. T. Diehl, c. f. Kendall and V. l.. Alex
ander. had announced their decision,
awarding the medal to Edna Kirwood.
Mr. J. H. Lindsey, who had charge of
the affair and who is the Sunday school
teacher of this class, presented the medal
to the successful contestant with few
very happy remarks.
While the judges were out making up
their decision the audience were enter
tanned by May Mccullough, who recited
Christmas Night at the Quarters, and
Virgil Little, who recited THE Freckle
Faced Girl" Better selections to enter
tain the audience could not have been
made, but the recitation OF May McCul-
Tough was where the laugh come in. d"
The piano solo by Mrs. r. B. Wallace
and the Duet by Mrs. Smythe and Mrs.
Horner were, of course, very fine as was
expected from the well known musicians.
But the principal music of the occasion
was furnished by an orchestra composed
of G. Z. Barkhimer, G. NJ, Brown, Samuel
Dorsey, w. T. Bartlett and d. Foster, with
Miss Lena Shaw at the piano. \ better
orchestra and better music cannot be pro
duced Mrs NJ +. Diehl also added much
to the interest of the occasion by her adj
mirable execution of the piano accOmpani-
ments TO the vocal pieces. All concerned
have reason to be proud of the result of
