CHEAP EXCURSIONS
TO the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show
on Earth-Some of the Sights.

AS the railroads have come to the
front and quoted low round "trip rate,
it is safe to predict that large crowd
from this place will attend the Barnum
u Bailey greatest show on earth when it
exhibits at Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday,
May %. The railroads, recognizing the
vast importance of this amusement insti-
tuition, always make special arrange
ments in the way of train schedules and
low rates, to accommodate the big crowds
that are always sure to attend, and this
year will prove no exception to the rule
OF the past, as this great show this year
is more than ever worthy of great patron
age, for where can one see so much for
so little money.
Ihat the show is great national affair
is without doubt. No event creates
half 80 much Of a sensation as the ad-
vent of the greatest show on earth in
town, for the people are aware that no.
where else can they see so truly grand
and overwhelming an exhibition or OBJ
tain half the fun and amusement The
only wonder about the wonderful affair
is that so much can be exhibited for SO
small an admission price.
Just see: there are the two living gori-
las, the only ones in captivity, and fa-
nous all over the world as Chico, and
his bride. Johanna; tent for the ex
hibition of $50 head of horses, called the
horse fair; the two menageries, in which
is also placed the great chronological con-
gress of savage tribes, with their fami-
lies, huts, canoes, weapons, etc.; real
Cossack encampment, where these fierce,
warriors give exhibitions
of fearless horsemanship and show
their manner of fighting their foes be-
hind prostrated horses; an equestrian
tournament, with high jumping horses,
may-pole dances and fox hunters
meet; an aquarium; an aviary; an
elephant pavilion with two herds of these
big monsters, cages of wild beasts, rare,
big and little animals, wonderful train
ed animal exhibition, which takes
place in big enclosure, called an arena.
and twenty old and new style clowns;
sixteen champion male and female bare
back riders, as seen at various times in
the three rings, while on the stages and
race track are expert acrobats, gymnasts,
jockeys, and aerilists, the whole form
ing a monster entertainment, beside
which all others are tame. The street
parade will represent the military uni
forms of all nations, with living rep-
resentatives of the crowned heads of
the world.

UPPER lEHlGH NOTES,

duration Edward Reilly, one of our
most prominent residents, died at his
home here at 2 o'clock on Tuesday
morning aged AZ years. He had been
suffering from pleuro- pneumonia, and
although his condition was very low at
times, his relatives and friends felt con-
hdent that he would recover. Mr.. Reilly
was employed here as ticket boss at No
2 breaker, and in the performance of his
duties gave general satisfaction. He
had the respect and friendship of all
with whom he became acquainted, and
much sympathy is expressed for the

brated at st. AIMS church at 1000
O'Clock, after which the remains were
inferred beside those of his wife in St.
AIMS cemetery.

HIGHLAND DOTS.

There was great excitement at No. 2
for short time on Tuesday. Sparks
from the locie, which hauls the clay
from No. stripping, set the woods on
fire and in few minutes it began burn
ing fiercely and went at a rapid rate
toward the houses. The fence, which
is not far from the houses, caught fire,
and the breaker bad to suspend work
while the men and boys employed on it
went to fight the fire. They succeeded
in extinguIshing it before any serious
damage was done.

Struck with n Stnne

John Yuhas and John Bugel, two
Hungarians who live at Drifton, were
walking down Centre street on their
way home shortly after IL o'clock on
Monday night, and when they reached
South street stone was thrown bv
some unknown and struck Yuhas on the
back of the head. The force of the mis-
sile knocked him unconscious and after
Bugel secured assistance from some of
his countrymen in the Points, Yuhas
was removed to one of their residences
and had the wound dressed.
The injury was not serious, and Yuhas
resumed his work at Drifton yesterday
morning.
The report published in the Hazleton
papers and then sent through the
state by the Associated Press correspon
dent in that city, stating that Yuhas
was shot and robbed, is untrue in every
respect. The people of town are not
pleased to have false accounts of MUIR
ders and attacks placed to the credit of
Freeland, and further investigation
should be made by newspaper managers
before accepting the reports furnished by
sensational correspondents.

""oo VI poher"i "ctarIney'S illness.
From the Wilkes Barre Leader.
General Mccartney claimed that his
sickness in the courthouse two weeks
ago came from indigestion, caused by
some soft shell crabs that he had eaten
which proved to have a poisonous effect
or on some account were unfit for food
in other words stale and spoiled. A cou-
pie of days after his recovery the general
said there were nine others in the party,
all of whom were taken sick from the
lunch, but his attack happened to be in
public place and he therefore gained
more notoriety than the others. On
the night following the generals sick
ness one of the Public Square merchants
ate fish supper at Lohman's, which
caused him few days sickness.
There is scarcely anything that is more
deleterious to health-it is in fact poison.

such things should be careful to get only
