Keep Trying.

The storekeeper who expects to do
much business in 1894 must practice the
lesson taught in the following story:
"Two frogs found Themselves in pail Of
milk and they could not jump out. One
of them was for giving up and said to
the other, Good by; l sink, die Said
his mate, Brace up, you duffer! Keep
jumpin' and see what turns up 30 they
kept jumping up and down all night aud
by morning had churned the milk
that it turned to butter, and they jumped
off the better to the ground" Applied
to business the fable means this: II you
want the business of 1894 to exceed that
of 1898, 'skeep jumpin." Don't cry, Il
sink, 1 diew The merchant who coqS
tinues looking for bad times will not SUD
vive to see good times. The man who
keeps jumpin' will see good times first

BEST OF IT'S KIND.



There are lots of people in Topeka
who enjoy seeing trained animals ane
from the number of persons at the d@l
and pony show last evening it would ap-
pear that Prof. Gentry's aggregation is a
drawing attraction Nor were the peO-
pie disappointed. for the dogs and ponies
seemed only too glad to show off their
intelligence. The show is undoubtedly
the best of its kind ever seen here.
The tent is on Quincy street, between
Sixth and Seventh. Prof. Gentry's ami
mails show that their master possesses
more than ordinary powers in training
animals.
The big monkey makes lots of fun for
the youngsters by his antics. He is also
an excellent rider and stick on the
back of either dog or pony in a way that
would be hard to initiate by human
being.
The ponies seemed to enjoy the music
of the band and pranced around very
prettily. One feature of the entertain
ment which was of special note, was the
high jumping of the big grey hounds.
Prof Gentry has some record breakers
in these dogs. There was amusement
for all, from the youngest child present
to the old gray haired man. The per
formance will be repeated tonight and

A. I'LL. ELLIS HERE.


But He Is Shy of Newspaper Men and
Won't Talk.
Judge A III. Ellis, of Beloit, who was
last week nominated for congress by the
Republican convention at Phillipsburg
is in Topeka today.
Judge Ellis is a big man from the
ground up to his big black broad brimmed
hat. He wears a light gray suit OF
clothes, pair of long red chin whiskers
and heavy sorrel moustache.
Judge Ellis does not belong to the Old
Crowd, for he has never before been sue
cessful in breaking into~the Republican
distributing crib, and unless he gets
more votes than Harry Pestana got two
years ago, his nomination won't do him
much good.
When seen by a STATE JOURNAL re-
porter this morning Judge Ellis said he
did not want to be interviewed He
would not admit that he was afraid of
newspaper men, but excused himself on
the ground that it is too early to COM
mence his campaign, although he began
working for the nomination several
months ago.
Judge Ellis is not sure what the Sixth
district Populists are going to do and he
admits that he is in some degree inter
ested in their actions. He denies the
story told by s. M. Scott of how he got
the nomination although other Sixth dis
trict Republicans who were in the con-
vention say that Scott's story is true.

Col Breckinridge will not make
