the white-haired stranger the salesman
travelling with the Aforesaid goods, and
eaid:

The drummer from Louisville turned
O little erciliously around in the

Yes, replied the stranger, as he

EIGHT KILLED AT A CIRCUS.


LIGHTNING MAKES SORRY ENDING TO

RIVER FALLS, WIs.-The large circus tent

Curtis Aldredge, aged ~ years. J. A. Glon-
denning, town clerk of Oak Grove; and un.

the terrible storm caused the throng TO

gushed. The greatest CONSERVATION follow

As soon as possible. Ringing Brothers and
their employees did everything In their
power to alleviate the condition of the

Elevator SicRness.

Elevator sickness is sensation
analogous TO sea sickness. You know
II you've crossed Lake Michigan in a
northerly gale that you bear with for
titude the motion of your end of the
boat when it's on the rise, but listen
for the angels harps when it sinks.
The elevator sickness is built ON the
same principle. II is more frequent in
New York and Chicago than anywhere
else in the world. The victims, mostly
women, often suffer frightful qualms
when the car starts on it's downward
plunge. Some of the less impression
able victims content themselves with
tugging at the rope boys bob-tailed
coat and begging him to Ego slow,
please" Then with muttered prayer
or something the boy, who has heard
that plea before, shakes out n reef or
two more and makes tho trip in double
quick, and the victim shuts her eyes
and shudders. Frequently she faints
away completely. Experience does not
seem to diminish the complaint. -

II will be remembered that the complaint
that the Fair was unfinished deferred many
early visitors in Chicago-many more than
were kept away from the Philadelphia Fair
In May. Besides the actual receipts for ad-
mittances at the gates the Fair treasury is
swelled by the sale OF many souvenir tickets,
which are carried away by visitors as keep
Bakes. Over 10S, ,442 such tickets, or S54, ,22l
worth, have already disappeared, presumably
into home albums and souvenir books. 1t is
not possible to get an exact statement OF the
running expenses, but the Chairman of the
Finance Committee says they are not now
greater than 100000 per day, and that they
are sometimes as low as $4,000. II the
operating expenses are kept down to ,00O
for the remainder of the time the Fair is
open, and II the average attendance each day
torthe next 1870 days is more than double the
average attendance to date, there seems to be
no obstacle In the way of the Exposition
proving financial success.
