The New Capitol having lent its
feeble help, in connivance with few
Northern republicans parading here as
democrats, to the defeat Of good old
General Dickson, it pretends to think
that its democracy is now complete,
and has the blind audacity to ask the
democracy of this county to pat it on
the back. Won't some kind friend
take it behind the corner of house

Mr.. William E. Wendt made call
on the Banner last Friday. We were
soon made to understand that the dis

impart to us the information land it
was information) that he shares a
large part Of the glory that attaches to
the city of Ocala in the defeat of
General Dickson. But this was not
all. Mr.. Wendt impaired to us other
information, and in its recitation we
want Floridians to pay attention. He
told us that General Dickson had no
war record! That he was never in a
battle in his life! And the people of
this state owe him nothing! So it is
to this that we have come! Mr..
Wendt impaired to us further and
still more astounding information.
He told us that he Influenced thirty
votes against General Dickson and
this thirty turned the tide against
Jim. The idea of Floridians knowing
General Dickison's history and being
influenced to vote against him by
such gentlemen as Mr.. Wendt! Oh,

THE OLE COUNTRY CIRCUS.

How dear to my heart is the show of my child
hood,
The old country circus my boyhood days
knew;
In these days Of three rings, Of hippodromes,
railroads.
How fond recollection present thee to view.
For weeks, while the posters on fences and
church-sheds
Portrayed to my young eyes the scenes that
No soft thrill of love. no throb Of ambition,
Has since equalled the bliss I gained dream
ing Of thee!
The old country circus. the shabby old circus,
The wandering old circus my boyhood days
knew.
How faithful I worked in the ways that pre-
To gain the few pennies my ticket should
buy!
No toll was 50 sweetened-no reward SO stu
No miser e'er cherished his hoard as did
How fair shone the sun on the glad day ap-
pointed.
How rife with strange bussle tho sleepy ole,
And when DER the hill came the rumble OF
The bound Of my heart said: The circus has
come"
The old country circus. the faded old CIRCUS.
The one-horse old circus my boyhood days
knew.
What pageant OF now can that grand entry
compass?
What wit of to-day like those jokes Of the
ring?
And those dtyans of pine boards-such ease
oriental,
No reserved, cushioned chairs of the present
can bring.
One elephant only, satisfying, majestic,
Not Jumbo, nor sacred, neither painted nor
white
Take them all and the whole dizzy, trtple-bill

For o single return Of that old-time delight.

n HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder in Strength and

Nonnx,o&ikor

Royal Baking Powder in Strength and
Value 30 Per Cent. Above Its Nearest
Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-.
viable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ex.
| hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, at the
| Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs, where
it has been exhibited, judges have in
variably awarded the Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex.
aminations for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts OF
the chemical division of the Agricul.
tural Department of Washington. The
official report of the tests Of the baking
powders which were made by this de-
partment for the specific purpose of as
certaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
~leavening strength of the Royal to be 160
cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. Of the cream of tartar

the next higBsst in strength thus tested
contained but 1873 cubic inches of leaven'
ing gas. The other powders gave an
average of Ill. The Royal, therefore,
was foukdof 20percent: greater leaven-
ing strength than its nearest competi-
tor, and Al per cent. above the average
of all the other tests. It's superiority
in other respects, however, in the
quality of food it makes as to fneness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
It is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-
try for SO many years, that have caused
the sales of the Royal Baking Powder,
as shown by statistics, to exceed the
