The oId Reliable Adam Forepaugh


Many of our readers will recall
the name of the well known estab-.
lishment that exhibits in our city
on Monday, September 18th, with
pleasure. With many of them it
brings wildly to mind the first ele-
plant they ever saw. There is a
whole sermon in the career of this
show. 1t proves that when any
concern becomes known as an hon
estly conducted one, fulfills its
promise to the public, that it
succeeds, and the business fourishes
and becomes u fixture to be handed
down from generation to generation.
1t proves also that the proof of the
old proverb that /" Honesty is the best
policy" The career of Adam Fore
paugh's show up to the present
time has been one of continued sue
cess, and the proprietor Adam Fore
paugh deserves it. He has always
given the public the worth of their
money. In these days of humbug,
it is nearly refreshing to be able to
speak in terms of praise of an
amusement enterprise.
This year the management prom
ises us a new surprise in the shape
of the smallest elephant on earth,
"36 inches in height" This indeed
will be a great curiosity. The
whole show is said to be exception
ally good, and we will miss our
guess if the tents on the day of
exhibition are not crowded. As
this will be the last show to visit
this section this year, we advise all
our readers to be sure and see it.

FOR ELECTION FRAUDS.
A Large batch of Indictments Re.
turned at St. Louis.

The st. Louis grand jury yesterday made
its final report to Judge Edmunds OF the
criminal court. Tho report Is, in its rela-
ton to the recent election, of sensational
character. In the batch Of fT3 true bills
returned over fifty are for election crimes,
and included in these are Indictments
charging Sheriff-elect Henry Troll and his
son Charles, who is a deputy in Collector
Zeigenham's Office, with bribery.
Among the Indicted are John Clifford.
Anthony G. Walsh. Thomas Malone, WILL
lam Cronin, Thomas Murphy and George T.
Murphy, police officers, who are charged
with oppression in Office at the last cleo
ton.
Many Of those indicted have been arrest
ed and released on bonds. and others are
yet to be taken into custody. Sherif-elect
Troll gave bond in the sum Of 500 TO APP
pear and answer the charge against him.
Mr. Troll refuses to discuss the indict-
ments further than to say that when the
case comes TO trial he will not have any
trouble showing that he, as well as his
son, are innocent
1t is stated that other indictments have
been withheld from publication in order to
enable the authorities to make the arrests
on bench warrants. 1t Is rumored that
prominent politicians are among the num-
Der, the publication Of whose names VIII
cause sensation.

FIERCE FIRE AT ATLANTA.
The Old Capital Building Damaged I
the Extent of 100000.

the Extent of 100000.
ATLANTA, Ca, December 27.-The old
capital building. formerly the seat of the
state government. but now owned by Ven
able Bros. and used as an Office building,
at the corner of Marietta and Forsythe
streets. was visited by a disastrous fire at
o'clock this morning. The total loss will
reach $9O.0OO-$4O.OOO on the building, fully
insured; Masonic lodges, $4,000; Tripod
Paint Company. $4,000; Jacobs pharmacy.
$4,000 to $4,000; Kellam & Moore, opti-
clans. 5000; miscellaneous. 5000. All the
losses are fully covered except that of the
Nelson's, who carried only 5000.
The building is historic. 1t was purchas-
ed by the state under the reconstruction
regime for 100000. When the new million
dollar capitol was built 1t was sold to
Venable Bros for $125, 900.
The firemen found the structure flooded
with gas. The origin of the flames is
thought to be inCendiary.
The firemen fought a desperate fight
with the obstacles of a high wind and the
water freezir when 1t fell without the
reach Of the intense heat. The fire was un-
der control at o'clock.

Chance for American Lumber,

United States Consul Kirk, at Copenha-

the development of the American lumber
business afforded by the opening of the

stored without payment Of duty until sold
for use In Denmark. American white oak
Is very popular. and there ia also a good
market for poplar, walnut and pitch pine.
