''The toughest town in America il

of a long trip through the west. ''Mu III

party, three Bos sonians, arrived in Mul
Ian just at dusk one day. We wanted
to go right to our rooms in the hotel
and get separated from the dust taken
up on Il long stage ride.
The tavern-keeper was dealing faro
in the office, and we had 70 wait until
the crowd went broke before he could
even look at us. About o'clock he
got all the money and gave us oul
rooms. He took US out in the street
and, pointing to lighted room in the
top corner Of the hotel, said our rooms
were next to that. We had to enter the
house and find our beds The landlord
wouldn't walk up stairs with US, and
his clerk was always acting as referee
at prize fight down at some wicked
place.
1--WE were eating lunch at table
where two miners were seated, and one
of the men said to his friend: Get onto
the bloakes eatin' pie wild a fork Dey
must be English lords. Nearly every
one in town had a pistol strapped on
his belt, and all looked as if they We're
ready to start the fireworks on the

You ducks got nerve, he said
'Why?'
'Asalin' for ice water when de bar

water here till the bar closes. See?'
''We went to our rooms, and during
the night sent down stairs three or
four times for pitcher of water,
but could get none. Presently heavy

on our eating with fork pushed in his

THE EDITOR ON THE CIRCUS.
What an Ohio Journalist Does to Rest His
Weary Brain.

What an Ohio Journalist Does to Rest His
Weary Brain.
This is a circus day, and the small
boy is in his elemert-ditto his small
sister. Yea, and the children of large
growth-fOr are we not all children
when the circus comes to otown?-rejoice
to see the gayly-caparisoned horses, the
gaudy wagons, the elephants, as the
procession passes through the streets.
Circus day is but an epitome of
human life, for the world is very much
of a circus. The band plays, the ele-
plants go round the ring, the ring
masters crack their whips, the clowns
make merry with the throngs, the side
shows fill the air with clamor, the
people MUNICH their peanuts and drink
their lemonade, and those among them
who are green get swindled by the
thimble-riggers and petty cheaters.
Yes. life is much like circus day 1t
is delightful in the morning when the
mind is filled with anticipations of a
long day of delight with an evening of
quiet pleasure. Everything is fresh and
buoyant, and the clown well, he's
always supposed to be somebody else.
But the cool of the early day gives way
to the glaring noontide; the tent is
packed, and while the performance is
good it has not the zest which we an
ticipated. The dust is annoying, the
heat prevents full enjoyment We
laugh at the quips and quirks of the
clown, dilnly conscious that though
that is expected of us, it is not worth it.
The evening brings WEAKNESS, and the
performance is fat and stale. All who
can, stay to the concert after the show,
anxious to see all they may, but having
an inner consciousness that it won't
paw. Then the canvass is down, the
lights are out, and-Darkness.
Yes. all the worlds a circus, and it is
always new When the night comes to
Us, the sun is always rising somewhere
else. The tent is always going up some
where. as it is always coming down,
The mornings wait for the gay process
sion. bright with color and tiuttering
flags. Inuyin to blare Of trumpet, the
beat OF dram, the clash Of cymbals: and
the generations OF mankind stand in
line as it goes by.
All the worlds 4 circus; it is the
same thing over again. generation after
generation, but it is the greatest show
on earth for each of them - Toledo

Of Congressional Restriction.

Mr.. Stevenson Tells the National Association
Of Congressional Restriction.
At yesterdays session Of the National Street
Railway Association in Pittsburg E. NJ. Scrib-
ner of New York read a paper on the ''State
Treatment Of Corporate Property" Mr.. Scrib-
ner confined himself to the abuses existing in
New York state. and charged up the wrongs
committed in the assessments Of corporations
to both the democrats and republicans.
W. A. Stevenson Of this city said that
while the complaint made by the speaker Of the
discrimination against corporations Of New
York state was great, it is not nearly 90 bad a.
in Washington, as the laws in regard to the
regulation of corporations there are made by
Congress, and are very severe.
81. C. Payne of Milwaukee advised the eastern
capitalists to 60 west to invest their money, as
no such stringent laws existed in any of the
western states that he knew of. He was GER
tain that 1t was not SO in Wisconsin.
"The Independent Storage or Primary Bat
terry System Of Electric Motive Power" was dis
cussed by Mr.. knight Kneftel Of Lancaster.
The paper dealt principally with storage bat
teries and the progress made in the use of this
kind Of motive power. The author stated thas
the use Of storage batteries has been accom-
plished with varying amount Of success The
batteries have been in use long enough on va
rious roads to justify the prediction that good
results are practicable In the near future.
