A Tangled Case Before the Liars
Court.

Constable President Bill Green
has called special session of the
Logan Liars Court to discuss ant
dispose of the most difficult matter
that has ever yet come before that
body. 1t is this:
Gov. Mckinley is billed for ap-
pearance in Logan at the headquar.
ters of the Republican State Central
Committee on the 14th of June, and
Pursell needs his Friday. The Fed
eral office holders will be smelling
and scratching for crumbs at Min
neapolis at that time and Vickers
will be required them to distribute
and needs an assistant. John F.
White, chief manager of the Reform
Farm will first recite to Rempel his
salutatory from the first issue of the
Ohio Democrat, and then declaim
his virgin Republican speech on the
Rawlin's bill to Mckinley, thus pre-
serving his political equilibrium and
must have aprompter. Mckay will
touch off fresh explosion of con-
script subscribers. Rabbi Yerges
Will explain the science of whist by
the Hebrew text, Illuminated by the
Electric Lights of the Fourth ward,
and wants an interpreter. Other
Republican statesmen of lesser note
and pretension have specific and ap-
propriated duties assigned them and
all should have manager. The
question is in this duplication of
things; What's to be done with
and for Davenport. Here he is ir-
ritated with the child's play of edit
ing the political, local, societynotes,
''here's our hand" personals; the
prize fights, the kissing parties, the
boiler plates, and the dead advertis-
ing for the Republican Gazette, also
the arduous duty of meeting every
incoming train, learning by heart a
list of names from the fashion books
to apply to girls garments at the
next dance, his heart boiling with
envy against Barleon; and his head
and stomach in collusion for an in
crease of pension, to say nothing of
lsherlng the show and leading the
oand, and heading the opposition to
Electric Light, and the Democratic
party! The conflicting question for
he Court is, what can be done for
lin. Prof. Joseph is still waiting

MAINS CIRCUS.
The Best Show Ever in Logan.

The show in our town last Thurs
day, was something out of the usual
coarse and commonplace exhibitions
that infest and infect the country
towns. The show was the best we
ever saw IN Logan. The advertised
program was carried out to the let
ter, and in finish and completeness
beyond highest expectations. The
street parade was forecast of the
excellence of the circus exhibit. The
horses are models of beauty in form
and motion, spirit and disposition,
and all the equipment was in modest
manner, elegant style and finish, pre-
possessing and inviting.
The animals were not numerous.
Those exhibited were not of the ugly
and disgusting kind, but magnificent
specimens of the class represented.
The circus was thrilling and be-
wildering. Every performance was
a novelty in some particulars, and
the feats, the completion Of artistic
attainment. The acting had a de-
corum about it which is a feature to
commend this show to the respecta-
bility of the public. The clowns
were decent and the actors modest.
The people employed IN the service
were polite and obliging, and the
usual gang of hoodlums that make
show day carnival for meanness
and crime were conspicuously absent
The show deserves the patronage
of the country it may visit, and
should they revisit Logan, hearty
welcome will be given.
The only incident to mar the har-
mony of the occasion was the way
wardness of an old farmer who was
determined to drive on the public
highway of Logan, and have the
procession to stop or go around him.
He was Identified by the clerk of
the Rempel Hotel, as an old ac-
quaintance Of his 'sUncle Peter" of
Washington township. The crowd
admiring the pageantry of the pa
rade were in high state of indig-
nation at the perversity of old hay
seeds, and would have given him
rough treatment, had not our vigil
ant deputy marshal, kindly, but
firmly conducted Uncle Peter off the
street and out of the way Of the
procession.
Uncle Pete got into the show, and
until he fell off the seats and lost
bis boot, was a source of much wor-
ryment to the little boys and girls
and children Of older age.
With this provoking disturbance
20 our simplicity, Mains shows all
he advertises, and more too.
