Walter l.. Mains Circus.

The Walter L. Mains circus showed
to a full house last evening, the man.
moth tent being packed with people.
We do not exaggerate when we say the
show was equal to that Of any circus
performance ever given here and a great
deal better than the majority of them.
Every feature introduced was of that
character which stamps it first-class upon
first appearance. The performance was
given in three rings and at times there
were other features going on outside of
them. The aerial feats were daring and
skillfully performed as were many other
acts Of daring. The Roman Hippodrome
part OF the entertainment was not only
interesting but exciting. 1t consisted
of chariot races, barrel and obstacle
races, Roman standing races, cowboy
and pony races, lady riders and many
other features too numerous to mention.
There were plenty of horses and no
show can have finer ones, while the
menagerie was a splendid exhibit of the
animal kingdom. 1t is also a noticeable
feature that there were no fakes nor
robbing schemes permitted on the
grounds, while the entire show was clear
cut and of a high standard throughout.
Everything going to make mp the show
is entirely new, while the performers
were selected from the upper ranks of
professional people and they stand
second to none. To do still bigger
business this show only needs to play
return dates. Columbus Sept. 10Th

Thursday afternoon last at Ills an
alarm of fire caused considerable excite
ment and summoned firemen and others
to the northwestern portion of the city
where they found the large barn of G.
w. Elston to be in a blaze. The fire
was first discovered by Mrs. Marvin
Elston, who was stopping at G. VS.
while he and wife were absent at the re-
union at Grand Island. The barn con-
tanned a span of horses, buggy, harness,
$50 bushels of oats, 125 bushels of corn.
one and a half tons of hay, besides
numerous other articles. William
Elston, at work at the creamery, arrived
on the scene in time to release the
horses, remove the buggy, harness, and
a few other lighter articles, the remain
der being consumed. The barn being
in close proximity to the dwelling en-
dangered it, but the valiant work of the
firemen and bucket brigade saved it,
for which, no doubt, MI. Elston is very
thankful. There was an insurance on
the barn of $500, and on the grain $500.
Mr.. Elston estimates his loss at about
$1,000. The origin of the fire is not
known.

Miss Clary who visited Columbus
several days < in the interest of the
opera festival to he held at Omaha some
time this fall. has returned to Omaha,
and the Bee reports that she has had
excellent success. There are to be six
nights of opera, and season tickets are
sold ut 81 for each evening or SC; one
person can attend six times, or six per
sons one time. three persons two times
and so on. Miss Clary is herself a splen-
did musician and singer, and, we judge,
of excellent business ability, her main
aim being to establish and foster local
opera troupes, and provide for the in
creasing and growing talent of the
country, an opportunity for work. Ms.
Thurber's generous efforts to help ed
ucate operatic talent is all well enough,
but needs to he supplemented by some
thing that will provide a field for work.
We believe that Miss Clary's plan will
do this effectually, and we hope to see
her accomplish this, and anything of
further good in this line that she may
have in contemplation. From fine
opera to hogs looks like a jump from the
sublime to the ridiculous, but some n
has remarked that every good hog mar
ket has eventually become great center
of art. 1t has been notably true of Gin
cinnati and Chicago, and why not of
Omaha?

Tariff Plank.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June S-The
chief difficulties confronting the Re-
publican convention in the matter Of
platform were solved this afternoon.
A lively time was had preceding
the silver solution, Silver was the
rock upon which tho committee nearly
split, with the result OF discord and a
majority and minority reports TO. the
convention as a whole. Silver men had
their blood up, and if defeated in the
platform committee would have asked
nothing better than n square hands up
fight on the floor OF the convention.
When the platform committee assem-
bled this afternoon with this unpleas-
ant prospect in view, no reconciliation
had been effected in the subcommittee
of five, which had been appointed by
Governor Foraker to consider the silver
problem.
The first matter that came before the
full committee was the subject OF tariff,
and right here was where the silver
advocates showed shrewd, generalship.
They doggcdly set out to contest every
inch OF ground and embarass their
opponents at every stage OF the consid-
Grafton of the platform. These bold
tactics proved successful, for at 4:30,
when tho platform committee took a
recess, the victory was won. Instead
of free coinage platform separate and
distinct they had shaped the tariff para.
graph of the report that tho first and
most conspicuous part Of the document,
in accordance with what is supposed to
be the hearts desire of the go
called silver states. FREQ coinage was
Let 60 by the board in its
place the silver men gleeful!y accepted
a clause pledging the Republican party
to the policy OF protective tariff.
Some time was consumed in the dis
cussion and wording OF this par
ticular substitute for free coinage
declaration that none Of the other sub.
iects' before the committee were SO
much as touched upon, aid the DELHI

dication OF LISTING until daylight to-
morrow.
