Circuses, Menagerie, Moorish Caravan
and Spectacular Pilgrimage to Nee
ca, Regal Roman Hippodrome, Olym-
plan Elevated Stages, Tropical Aqua
rum, Aviary, Royal Japanese Troupe,
Arabian Nights Entertainment and
splendid Free Street Parade. Had not
Adam Forepaugh made his final exit
from mortality's great arena, pre-
sumably to manage "a galaxy of stars"
elsewhere, he would be forced to con.
cede that Sells Brothers now have es-
sentially the Greatest Show on Earth,
and the only legitimate one of its
kind left. Amenagerie which includes
among many rare wild beasts the only
pair of full grown giant Hippopotami,
worth 100000, is something to boast
Of Other notable exclusive features
are most singular Hairless Horse, a
whole flock Of stately Ostriches, and
the tiniest pair of cattle ever known
veritable mites from elfdom. The
program of Hippodrome races is upon
truly imperial scale, and introduces
the greatest drivers, riders and ath-
letes of both sexes, including an as
tonishing troupe of Berber and Be-
douin gymnasts. The newly devised
spectacle of the Pilgrimage to Mecca
will introduce many rich, striking and
romantic novelties. Excursions on all
railroads.
Best of all these alluring features is
the reduction of fadmission prices from
81 to so cents.

TEXAS SENSATION.
The State Administration Unable to
Meet It's Debts.

There is a genuine sensation in o.
ilcial circles at Austin, the capital
city Of Texas, over the depleted con-
dition of the state treasury, which has
just been made public, showing the
cash balance, supposed to be held
safely in reserve in the treasury vaults,
is nearly, if not quite, exhausted
The unfortunate state of affairs is said
to have been made public through a
note from Governor Hogg to the
heads of the several state departments,
asking them to call their clerks TO-
gether and ask them to wait for their
salaries until Dec. l. There was only
$65,OO0 cash in the treasury to the
credit of the general revenue, and the
months expenses, which would have
to paid Saturday, would amount to
$15O,O00 No revenue would, in the
meantime, come in, and very little un-
til December
Here was deficit staring the gov
ernor in the face, and it might be
postponed or prevented if the clerks
and the state officials and asylums
would stand off their creditors until
December. The scenes at the general
land office and the comptroller's Office
were said to be affecting when the
gOVernots wishes were submitted.
Heads Of departments could not
control the action of their clerks in
such matter, and knowing as they
do that not one in ten of their en-
plOyes has any money saved up to
support their families, they would not
attempt to hold back their pay. Very
few clerks indicated willingness TO
wait. Some said they had made
promises which they could not fail to
meet; some said their families would
suffer; many said they preferred to
take out their warrants and sell them
at discount if the treasury fails,
rather than see their families suffer
for necessaries.
All the clerks and officials declared
they would like to do anything rea-
sonable to help the governor out, but
they, Of all government employes,wer
least able to do without their small |
pay'if all the big salaried officials, |
judges, railroad commissioners and !
heads of departments and the asylums !
would wait there would be plenty |
of money to pay the small-salaried en-
ployes.
1t was a solemn occasion and was ex-
pected to be kept within the know
only only of those interested, but it is
out, right on top of the school defc- |
iency, on account Of which probably
5000 teachers are waiting now for
pay for their services last July and |
August.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the yalue to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

THE MAIN WITNESS DEAD.

BY the death of Col. NJ. L. Bell at
Pine Bluff Ark, on Saturday last, no.
tice of which appeared in this pOper,
is removed the most important States
witness in the Woodruff embezzlement
case. The State depended entirly up
on his testimony in convicting the ex-
State treasurer of embezzling the $5,-
900 in coupons of the State funding
bonds.
To sustain the first count of the in
dictment, which is the most serious of
the three, the State intended to prove
by Col. Bell that he (BelD paid to the
State treasurer in person the identical
coupons amounting to $4,000.
A few days thereafter Woodruff, it
is alleged, again listed the coupons
as having been presented by one
Johnson L. Jones, and upon that rep
resentation caused the State debt
board, Of which he was member, to
issue the equivalent amount in state
scrip which he again credited to him
self.
The johnson l.. Jones is fictitious
name and was only used to carry out
the scheme.
A prominent state official of Little
Rock in commenting upon the case,
said it was almost an impossibility for
the State to convict Woodruff with
out Col. Bells testimony, but a strong
effort will be made to put the circum-
stances before the jury in as strong
form as possible. The trial comes off

A DAsTARDLY DEED.

SEDAIIA, Mo-, September 28-At
10 O'Clock last night dastardly at.
tempt was made to ditch Lexington
Branch train No. 1914, due in Sedalia
at 1890 p, m. The train was pulled
by engine No. 226, with Engineer Pat
OCornell at the throttle and Conduc-
tor Hi Lewis in charge,
The night was quite dark. AS the
train which was going at high rate
of speed, approached small trestle
one mile west of Hughesyille Station,
which Is. eight miles west of this city,
a tic was seen protruding from the
timbers Of the trestle in such amanner
rs to insure the ditching of the train
Engineer OConnell scarcely had
time TO reverse his engine when the
tie was struck. The locomotive top
pled over and fell into the ditch with
a crash, taking with it the tender and
the forward trucks Of the mail and
baggage car.
The engineer ana fireman escaped
uniniured, while the passengers were
given severe shaking up.
News of tho wreck was telegraph
ed to this city, and an engine and two
coaches bearing Chief Of Police De-
long and several detectives were sent
TO the scene of the wreck.
At 2.2O this morning the passengers
arrived in Sedalia on the special train:
Engineer O'Connel, Fireman A. r.
Fipnoll and Expressman Harry Meyers
were found to be considerably bruised
The escape of the engineer and fire.
man was miraculous. They stayed
ON the engine, which rolled complete

A Remedy Of General Utility.

1t is among the follies Of which the
manufacturers of many proprietary
remedies are guilty, to term their
medicines "panaceas," or to claim for
them the quality of panaceas. There
is no such thing as "panacea," which
means remedy adapted to all diseas-
es. This absurdity has never been
perpetrated by the proprietors Of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. But
they do claim, and with justice, that
it is remedy of general utility, and
this because IL restores that regular
and vigorous condition of the stomach,
liver and bowels which conduce to the
recovery of general health. Thus 1t
fortlfies the system against malaria by
infusing stamina, and causing harmon
GUS action of the organs which, as
long as they go right, are the best
guaranty against an endemic malady
like chills and fever. It accompIishes
double purpose by stimulating ac-
tivity of the kidneys, since it not only
prevents their disease and decay, but
expels from the blood through them
impurities that cause rheumatism,
gout and dropsy. Use it with conf
dcnce.

CONGRESSIONAL FARCE.
Successfully Played on the American
People With Republican
Scene Shifters.

That great change has been
wrought in political sentiment, since
open expression of same was made by
the voters of this Union at the ballot
box, cannot be denied At that time
any man who attempted to relegate
the tariff question to the rear, in order
that purely financial Legislation might
be brought forward to the front rank
in the Federal Congress, would have
found himself an object of undisguis-
ed curiosity and contempt. 1t was
upon the line Of tariff reform that the
battle was waged and an oyerwhem-
ing Democratic victory won. How
then has this wonderful transforma-
tion been accomplished? By whom
and by what means has this shrewd
piece of political legerdermain been
performed? These latter questions
are easily answered, as the motive for
the change stands out with startling
distinctness and the Republican pres
tigitator who turned the political
trick was but half concealed by the
thin screen of honest public necessity.
The great wonder of it all is the vast
display of Democratic credulity which
has enabled these modern Fakirs to
play their part SO successfully The
Jonesboro Sun has seen the deception
in its true light and treats of il in the
following terms:
"No man of unimpaired intellect
and with the information gathered
during life of even few years, can
comprehend how the silver question
became so suddenly vital question
in the political economy of the nation.
During the campaign the real issues,
tariff and federal election law, were
thoroughly discussed, aud when the
people voted for the successful Con-
gressional aspirants It was because
they thought these men would do as
they promised; would carry out the
pledges embodied in their party plat
form. But no sooner does Congress
meet than the issues discussed in the
campaign are forgotten and the clap
trap of the silver question is pushed
forward and monopolizes the attention
of Congress for over month.
"The cause is simply this, Republic
cans, who favor high tariff rates and
federal control of elections in the
South, did not surrender after their
terrible defeat at the ballot-box, but
organized their party leaders into
committee of bunco-steerers, who have
so successfully performed their duty
that they have led not only the Dem.
ocratic Congressmen, but the whole
Democratic party, off from the tariff
reform track, and have set the whole
party yeiping for free coinage of sill
yer, a thing that during the campaign
only found Judgement in the added
pates Of the dlsgruntlod Popuhsts.

licans maneuvered that the humiliat-
ing defeat at the polls has been turn
cd into great victory in Congress.
