lect organization has made profound
impression upon the amusement public.

he introduced his company to the public.

equaled by few in this country. The
public reception to the organization has
been so cordial that during its life 1t has

1.-The Lost Paradise Men and
Women" was given here last summer
and was accorded unusual favor. 1.-The
Lost Paradise" treats with the all-absorb-
ing question of capital and labor in an
effective and entirely unimpassioned
manner. 1t is said that no other play has
been written which goes from the atmos-
phere of the drawing-room into that of
the workshop without disturbing the
dramatic dignity, or in the least lowering
the artistic tone of the performers.
We are told that the hero is presented
in the clothes of working man instead
of dress suit, and a powerful argument
made for more thorough knowledge of
the laboring mans needs by the capital
ist, and yet no offense is given to either
class. William Morris, the intelligent
young actor who enacted the part of the
cashier in Men and Women" plays the
leading role, while Orrin Johnson, Cyril
Scott, w. II. Crompton, Odette Tyler.
Maude Adams, Eta Hawkins and Elaine

Wild AMERICA"
Indians and Cowboys in Possession of
the Battle-Ground.
Carver's ssWild and Woolly'' Show
Yesterday-Some Good Riding
One Crippled Indian.

DR.. W. T. Carver's Wild West Show
gave its entertainment at Snowflake
Park yesterday afternoon to a good
crowd OF spectators. 1t was about 2:30
O'Clock when Carver came upon the
grounds and activity began among the
assembled troop of cowboys, Indians,
vaqueros, etc.
There were twenty-five horsemen in
all, about one-half of whom were In
dians, and although their theater of
action was limited one, they presented
some very life-like and thrilling pictures
very much resembling scenes upon the
frontier and upon the great American
plains.
The company had pitched its camp in
the further corner Of the grounds, whence
the actors in the different scenes rode to
the front, and to which they retired after
performing the parts assigned to them.
To begin with, the Indians rode singly
the seats occupied by the spectators
Each individual Indian rode his horse
bareback and on dead run to the posi-
ton where he took his place, until the
braves were all in line. Then came
the cowboys, in like manner, save that
they rode i'll saddles and were less gor-
geously arrayed, being simply clothed in
the ordinary costume Of the vaquero, and
about the only regulation part of their
accoutrement was broad-rimmed wool
hat.
After the troop was formed the riders
raced around the track several times and
displayed good horsemanship. The In
dians were perhaps the more graceful and
easy riders, but without exception the
cOmnanV cOmnOSaG of trained and ar
complished horsemen.
a four-hOrSe Stage-cOach was intro
duced, and an attack made upon it by the
Indians, who were repulsed by the cow
boys. A settlers cabin was attacked and
the settler killed" after which the cow
boys reyenged themselves by swooping
down upon the redskins and shooting
them with blank cartridges in a very
realistic way.
The 1ynching of horsethief was also
very thrillingly acted.
Features OF the show were skillful feats
of number of the riders who used the
RATA, managed their horses and handled
firearms, while the Indians were equally
active and interesting.
Early In the first part of the programme
one Of the Indians had his horse fall
while at full gallop. and the red man
limped from the field, but was only
slightly hurt.
During the entertainment Carver did
some glaSS-ball shooting and dlsplayed
his remarkable skill. He used single
barreled magazine-gun, and his most
difficult feat was that of breaking five
glass balls in rapid succession, they being
all thrown into the air at one time.
Altogether the show is well worth see
ing, and is perhaps as interesting to those
familiar with frontier life as to those to
whom the scenes are entirely novel.

Another Evening of Amusement at the
Swimming Baths.

~AAAoeheK Evening or Amusement at the
Swimming Baths.
There was a good attendance at the
swimming Baths last evening to witness
the exhibition given by the expert pro-
Iessors OF the art, Messrs. Dolan and
manning, and the Irish Arab.
The crowd was an unusually enthusi-
astlc one and applauded the daring feats
OF the performers very heartily. A good
portion of those present were ladies, and
as II anticipating this the management
had new feature not down on the pro-
gramme.
After the regular exhibition the an
nouncement was made that Mrs. Jones of
SeW ork had been specially engaged
Ior the evening, and had made the voyage
miner by alr-ship for the sole purpose of

MRS. Jones, a rather masculine female

wanted to learn to swim lin the usual
way by keeping shy OF the water, until
q great deal of persuasion was used. She
hnaIIy got wet all over, after considerable
protest, and after few lessons by Pro-
lessor Dolan took to the water and swan

The Irish Arab, in his trapeze work

grace to any appreciable extent, when he

IN teaching their pupils the graceful and
penenclal art OF the easy and proper way
TO swim.

When the conjunction repeats before
each word or expression. usually omit
the comma where the words between
which the conjunction stands are closely
united in meaning: "There speech and
thought and nature failed a little'' or
we bumped and rolled and scraped
very unpleasantly,n
Sometimes the comma is inserted where
they are not so united, as For his sake,
empires had arisen, and f1ourished, and
decayed."
If the series is composed of several
words unconnected by coniunctions, a
comma should follow the last word to in
dlcate that all the words relate alike to
the succeeding part of the sentence: 1.-THE
colleges, the clergy, the lawyers, the
wealthy merchants, were all against me-"
w mere the sentence is so brief as to pre-
sent no difficulty disregard this rule.
Ii the succeeding part of the sentence is
connected with the last word in the
series, but not with the preceding words,
omit the comma: "Ludgate's conceit was
OF tne arrogant sort, never simpering,
never lmpertinent, but massive in its
claims and benevOlently contemptuous."

tween expressions in a series which have
common dependence upon words at the
Deglnnlng or at the end of a sentence.
Where two independent clauses are con-
nected by conjunction, point is nee
essary, 10 make it clear that the conjunc-
tlon does not connect the words between
which it stands. If the sentence is short,
and the clauses are closely connected, a
comma is sufficient; otherwise a semi
colon, or even colon.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN We, in this little

wrangle has gone to great lengths and
some feeling. We have agreed to leave
to you, or to your proof-reader, three
questions involving the use of the
much trouble will you kindly answer
these?
l. When may the comma be properly
used before ana after conjunctions? We
have authorities that differ.
2. Should the semi colon be always
used between independent clauses? Are
there no exceptions?
3. When should the semi colon be used
where dependent clauses are involved? :?
On this there Is great difference of opin-
ion between us.
JOHN B., for many, Dixon.
1. Not before or after coniuctions when
used to connect words belonging to the
same part of speech. Nor when used to
connect two expressions in the same
TO the same part of speech. But use the
comma, however, when the word before
the conjunction is qualified by a word
that is not intended 10 qualify the word
after the conjunction. Also, where the
word after the conjunction is followed by
an expression which qualities that word
alone. For instance, in the first case,
''Sink or swim, live or die, survive or
perish,' etc. Or this, "a just but mel
ancholy reflection embittered, however,

ond instance: The new order of things
was inducing laxity of manners and. a

Third instance: He suddenly plunged,
and sank" Or, Ills mind was pro-
foundly thoughtful, and vigorous" !"
Fourth instance: '.All day long he kept
on walking, or thinking about his mis-
fortunes" Or, "Twas certain he could
write, and cipher, too." Use a comma
between such words and expressions
when not connected by a conjunction: !:

Hon. j. Il. Ferguson, member of the
general assembly of Missouri, was in
the city Wednesday, and, rs all good
democrats do, paid the sanctum of the
INTELLIGENCER Il visit.
Mr.. Ferguson says that nearly every
democrat he has talked to fayOrS cut
ting away from Jackson county, when
redistricting the state congressionally.
Mr.. Ferguson has prepared II map
which expresses his views of the proper
changes to be made. This map marks
Jackson county ms the Fifteenth dis
trict. II contains 10000 population.
In 1888 it gave Cleveland l5,55i, llar-
rison 1880 n democratic majority of
1,3l3. In 1890 the democratic major
ity was 3,52l, but is no criterion OF
party forces there, rs the falling off
was about b per cent.
Mr.. Ferguson's map throws l.afay-
cite, Saline, Pettis, Johnson, Henry
and Cass counties into one district and
numbers il Fifth. These counties have
a population of I71,745 and give IN
aggregate democratic majority of D.
4SS.
The counties of Bates, Vernon, Bar
ton, Jasper, Dadc, Cedar and ST.
Clair, comprise the Twelfth district.
These have u total population of 1872
625, and give n democratic majority of
l,65I.
The only other change Mr.. Ferguson
proposes is that of the Sixth district.
This he thinks should he composed of
the counties of Howard, Boone, Coop
er, Hickory, Polk and Dallas. These
have a population of lGl,574 and Il
democratic majority of 3,Sl2.
1t will he observed that these make
safe, compact districts, and involve
very little change of lines.
