three full and complete circus compan-
les, whose varied performances in three
rings, on the backs of horses, ON the
ground and in mid-air, are a perfect
revelation to all beholders. The cir
Gus department comprises every diffi-
cult equestrian act, aerial feat, arenic
display, athletic and acrobatic trial,
hippodrome race, animal trick and
mad-cap caper of clown and actor,
tumbling and leaping, and in fact
everything of remarkable kind in the
way of meritorious features or attrac-
lions. To all of which is added two
menageries, a museum, horse fair,
gallery of supernatural illusions, two
herds of elephants, two droves of cam
els, ponies, led animals and other won
ders. The horses alone are valued at
$40, 600. Then there are strange an
imal freaks, giant and pigmy creatures,
odd and curious beasts and birds, a
big black orang blue nosed mandril
and myriad Of Others. The circus de-
partment contains only champions in
their various lines and specialties, and
duplicates of their acts or perform
ances are almost impossible. The
equestrians, both male and female, are
absolute champions, the lady perform
ers are champions, the aerialists, ath-
letes, acrobats, sprinters are all cham
pions, while even the twenty or more
clowns are masters in their special acts
and absurdities, and they do not talk.
At no time, past or present, was there
ever organized better or more won
derful circus. Every act is new, while
many are really startling. Every feat
is wonderful and most are astonishing,
Every trick, whether of man or ami
NAL, is far beyond anything ever
attempted before, and the races in the
hippodrome are wild and thrilling.
The largest salaries are paid in order
TO secure the greatest performers in
all lines, and it would seem now that
they have been secured by Barnum 4
Bailey. All countries are represented
by its greatest and best artists, fact
which could never be stated before
with such absolute truth as this year.
The moral part of the show is as great
as its instructive features, while the
general excellence prevailing every
where is of such magnificent kind as
to compel the admiration Of young and
old all over the country. 1t is YER
liable worlds fair brought TO your
very doors, and within its immense
proof tents are thousands Of the
most interesting and wonderful fea-
lures, all selected with the express OBJ
ject of amusing, instructing, causing
laughs, mirth, innocent and harmless
recreation, and withal leaving good
and lasting impression ON the minds
of all yititors. The new street parade
will take place on Thursday, October
10Th, the day the show will arrive
here

Because of Failing Health.
Kingwood journal

Kingwood journal.
The business community will re-
greet to learn that Mr.. f. Heermans
has been compelled by failing health
to resign the Office of cashier of the
Bank OF Kingwood, which he tender
ed to the Board of Directors at their
regular meeting this morning, to take
effect October 3. Mr.. Heermans has
held that responsible position for
nearly twenty-five years, and his I'M
firing devotion to the interests of

the success and high standing enjoy

us that he will rest year and do
some visiting among his friends, and
then, if his health improves, may en-
gage in some more active business,
as his physician advises him that
some business that will keep him in
the open air much of the time will be
more conducive to improved health.

WHO Is HE?
A Sensational Story about a Young
Minister and His Wife.

The Grafton correspondent of the
Wheeling Neacs writes as follows:
GRAFTON, Sept 29.-The expert
ence of young minister who was
stationed last year at point near
Parkersburg, is talked of consider
ably here. The young man married
a lady of his congregation and short
ly after, he was approached by
some members of the church who
earnestly asked him to leave her, al
leging that she was shamefully in
discreet. The minister indignant
ly repulsed these advices. The
congregation then became very
much worked up over the matter
and made dangerous threats. On
one or two occasions white cap no.
tices were given the minister and
his wife to leave. These had not the
desired effect and it is alleged the
two were even egged ON one occasion
Since that the young minister has
been dropped from the rolls, osten-
sibly to allow him to attend school
but in realitv to avert scandal.
Last year the minister had charge
of an Ohio congregation.

Animal 1nstinct,

That cattle and horses can commune
cate intelligence to each other and are
endowed with certain amount OF rea-
soning faculty the following facts are
pretty conclusive proof. l once pur-
chased a station on which large num-
Der Of cattle and horses had gone wild.
To get tho cattle In. I fenced the perA
inancnt watcr-a distance Of twenty
milcs-leaving traps at intervals. At
Nrst this answered all right, but soOn
tho cattle become exceedingly cautious
about entering The traps, waiting out
side for two or three nights before going
in. and, II they could smell man or his
tracks, not going in at all. At last
they adopted plan which beat mo. 4
mob would come to tho trap gate, and
one Would go in and slrink and come out,
then another wculd do the same, until
all had wstered. They had evidently
arrived at the conclusion that l would
not catch one and frichten all the 9TH
ers away. To get in the wild horses,
hundred 1T which were running on e.
large plain tahout twenty thousand
acres, l erected n stock yard with 4
gradually widening lane in = hollow
where it could not easily be seen, and,
by stationinR hursemen at intervals on
the plain, gallOped the wild horses in.
My first hunt (Which lasted for some
days, was successful. the wild horses
heading for the mouth Of the lane with
out much difficulty, but, o. course, some
ESCAPED by charging ba * at the stock
yard gate and in other ways. My Sea-
ond hunt, about month later, was 4
failure; every mob Of horses on the
plain seemed to know where the yard
was, and would not head that way This
seems to show that the horses that es-
capped from the first hunt told all tho
others where the stock yard was
