silver as plentiful and cheap that coun- l terfeit metal has been and generally is palmed off upon them in other than the strictly jewelry stores. And the same argument doubtless applies to the merchants who have been selling the commercials.
 It appears from the researches of one of those beneficent citizens, a Kicker ,'' Newton Dexter by name, that by far the greater part of the cheap silver jewelry sold in this city with the 'coin" and sterling" marks upon it in the great department stores is below the standard. Out of tbirty-two sam pies assayed at the mint but one was of lawful quality. Only five reached the standard of 0.9. majority dropped to .0004, and several had no silver in them at all, being returned as pure brass. Identical objects purchased at different stores vary in cost from forty five to seventy-flve cents, although probably uniformly valuable at frac- tion Of a cent.
 This, of course, is an outrage that the public will have good reason for thank ing Mir Dexter for exposing. The mat ter has been laid before the grand jury.

COMES NEXT WEEK.
The wild West show.

Buffalo Bills Wild West is admitted to be the most wonderful and interest ing exhibition ever given in it's line in the open air The sweeping charge of the cavalry companies from the United States, Great Britain, France, Russia and Germany, the queen antics of the Indians, the buffalo hunt, the rough riding indulged in by the cowboys and South American Gauchos, the wonder full display of shooting by Miss Annie Oakley, Johnny Baker and Colonel Cody, the reproduction of the battle of Little Big Horn, and the attack on the Deadwood stage coach, are all feat ures that have not only won the admir- ation of the people of the United States, but of every great city in Europe. The entertainment Is truly an object lesson in the history of the United States. At this season of the year the amuse- ment loving public must have some thing in the shape of outdoor entertain ments to please them, after the long and tedious winter, and nothing can be more pleasing and instructive than Buff falo Bills Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World. This sea son the entertainment will be presented in new, improved and enlarged form. To round out the efforts in the past Colonel Cody and Nate Salisbury, who have so long been associated together in the management of the Wild West, has been added the material experience of MT. James A. Bailey, now and for many years the acting head of Bar nuns show. This managerial trio have spared no expense and neglected no opportunity for increasing the in- terest and correctness of the exhibition which will be given here on Friday and Saturday of next week, May 3l and June 1,
