A FREAK OF NATURE.

Special TO the Register.
Parkersburg. W. Va. August IA
curious freak Of nature, which might be
called rabbit-kittens, was discovered
to-day by an employe at the Upson's s
soap works here.
Recently a pet cat that has been
about the place for several years gave
birth to three kittens. They are
sprightly little fellows and are now
able 10 get around by themselves. The
curious feature about them is that the
head and front part OF he body are all
that are expected of a well regulated
cat. but The back part of the body and
legs are those of a rabbit. even 10 a
bunty tail. The little fellows, instead
Of running about, hop like a rabbit ana
are propelled principally by their hind
legs. Il is a curious combination and
is exciting considerable interest.
Keep up with the enterprising spirit Of
the age. and buy J. Monroe TaylOr's
Cream Yeast Baking Powder-the best IN
the world.

Unendurable.

If ever there were an indignant neigh
borhood in this city it was that in the
vicinity of the Great Northern cattle
yard, on Tuesday last. Residents of
that part of the CITY were exasperated
almost beyond endurance by the pam
demonium they were compelled to en-.
dure from noon until midnight. Acouple
of hundred OF vigorous and hungry
calves, a score OF bereaved cows, a few
uncomfortable bulls and herd of pug
naclous swine We'd with each other IN
splitting the air with their varied vocal
endeavor.
Add to these disgusting and nerve de-
stroying features the olfactorv offense
which hot sun best knows how to
develop with the aid o! a couple of acres
OF closely packed miscellaneous live
stock, and you have faint idea of the
cattle yard nuisance. No other civilized
community on earth would tolerate it,
and there is no reason why this one
should. A delegation of citizens waited
upon the president of the council to in
vlte him to a close inspection of the
cattle yard, but as he lived within a
half mile of it, he said it wasn't necessary
he knew all about it.

THE HERALD leaves the st. Cloud
Times of Tuesday to tell the story OF
how Commissioner Smith represents his
district:
E. Smith, of Sank Center. who repre-
sents the fifth commissioner district on
the S.earns county board, which is some
times known as Franklin county, is in
the city to-day in attendance at spe-
cial session of the commissioners. Speak
ing Of the recent statement made in the
Times that he had opposed the leyying
OF one mill tax for sinking fund to
be ultimately used in the building OF
new court house, he said that he had not
had the opportunity to do so but GER
tainly wonld if the question came to a
vote.
GAS a matter of iact," he explained,
sit would not be right for me to do
otherwise. for the people in my district
are opposed to the building of new
Court House. have taken considerable
pains to find how they stand on this
question, and feet confident that 80
per cent. would oppose it. Outside OF
p. Lamb and Frank Barnum. of Sank
Centre, do not know of anybody who
is in favor of the proposition. In case it
should be decided to build new court
house, would favor the levying OF one
mill tax, but that to be done by an act
of the legislature and not by the county
commissioners. The act of one board
does not bind the other. An election
might change the personnel of the board
and the next one might object to levy
ing the the tax. but do it by an act OF
the legislature and stipulate how much
money shall be raised.
"There isno doubt but that the county
Jail should be improved and I would
vote for this just as soon as the city OF
St. Cloud builds lookup, but as long
as the city uses it to keep its DRINKS and
tramps in over night would not do
anything and know that other memb-
ers of the board feel the same as do
about this.
81 do not think that the county would
trade the court house ard site for EN-.
pire Park, and doubt whether the
question of new court house will be
seriously considered for some time. II
the city wants building and would
offer to buy the present court house
something might be accomplished.

It pays TO advertise in Z live newsA
paper all the year around. It pays lust

That ancient ard very foolish supersti-
ton that advertisers could afford to
keep out of print during the hot months
has been efectuallv exploded. The
public consumes food. wears out clothes,
shoes and hats and purchases furniture
and all the necessarics Of life in summer
as well as winter. Indeed. the number
of people who are shrewd enoug:: to see
that it is often profitable to wait Tor
summer BARGAINS is constantly increas-
ing. The merchant who attracts these
customers by seasonable and interesting
announcements OF what he has to sell
will make money whether the weather
is hot or cold. dry or rainy.
The man who adveItises the right
kind OF goods at fair prices through suit
able channels will reap manifold returns
from his enterprise. The man who neg
lects to advertise, on the theory that 1t
is not worthwhile to do so in "the dull
season." as he prefers to call the sum-
mer, has nc right to complain If custom.
ers are few and far between. No season
is "dull," except for those who make it
so by stubborn adherence to ideas that

Iemen RrOs. circus.

The circus OF Lemen Bros. arrived IN
the city over the Little Falls and Dako-
ia railroad from the west on Sunday,
it requiring eighteen cars to transport
the property. The grounds at the east
side of Third-st., were taken possession
of early in the day, and acres of canvass
spread, and all day Sunday stream OF
people flowed to and from the grounds.
The work done, nearly every employe
took hand at fishing in the lake and
river, and every available boat and
fishing rod was in commission all day
long. Some boats were borrowed
without consulting the owners, and
some of them not returned, but taken
all in all, the men were orderly. and well
behaved. There was very little of the
Objectionable features usually attendant
upon circus in the way of fraudulent
games, gambling and SO called taking.
Notwithstanding the very threatening
aspect of the weather, hundreds OF
wagons of all kinds freigh:ed with
people passed into the city to witness
the parade and attend the circus. The
parade was net of the imposing order,
but fairly good. The great elephants
were not in attendance at that time, as
the management has not sufficient con-
fidence in the good behavior OF the great
brutes to make it desirable to give them
special opportunity for mischief.
The menagerie was not large, but it is
excellent. The animals were all fine
specimens of their kind and the variety
sufficient to hold attention for an hour.
The lions. leopards, pumds and camels
were particularly tne specimens, while
the great attraction, Rajah, q mountain
Gus pachyderm, was sight orth the
seeing.
The circus programme was not 80
long or varied as some times seen, but 1t
was clean, and not loaded down with a
vast amount OF time-ki'ling triyialities.
Every number was excellent and held
close attention. The acrobatic features
were particularly strong. the trapezt
performances all being of a high order
There was an hour and half of SOLID
enjoyment. Tile brilliant feature OF the
entertainment was the boxing kangroo,
II was unique, spirited and excited great
applause. The animal handled thu
gloves with almost human intelligence
