LANDAUER TROUPE.
Remarkable Flexible Models, Now With
 Ringling Bros Big Circus.

Among the high-class features of the great European circuses during the past two or three years, nothing has attracted so much attention and aroused so much enthusiasm as the Landauer troupe of flexible models, which is now making its first tour of America, with Ringing Bros.' World 's Greatest Shows. The troupe comprises nine artists, all oi whom are experts in their line. Statue acts on a small scale are more or less familiar to the people of the United States; but nothing on the colossal scale of the performance given by the Landauers has ever been seen in this country. The act opens with remarkable reproduce ton of a famous fountain from one of the leading capitals of Europe. In this striking picture a large amount of paraphernalia is used, and the human figures, all Herculean in form, the curious dolphins, gushing streams of sparkling water, and the remarkable stimulation of sculptured marble, all combine to produce an effect beautiful beyond description This striking picture is followed by a series of reproductions, embracing classic and modern statuary and lofty human pyramids. It is an act which delights all lovers of the beautiful In art and nature, and where ever it has been seen 1t has provoked unbounded admiration. Tn securing this great feature Ring ling Bros. have had in mind the inn portance of not only maintaining their past reputation as the leading amusement purveyors of America, but are also of emphasizing their recognized policy of making each recurring seasons exhibition greater, grander and more comprehensive than that of the previous year. Tn this commendable ambition they have succeeded beyond all compari- son, and it can safely be said that never before, in the history of amuse- ment enterprises, has there been an exhibition to compare with Ringing Bros circus for 1895. In arenic feature, in great acrobats, gymnasts and riders, and, in fact, in every thing that goes to make up great exhibition, they have surpassed even their own heitherto uneqaled efforts. The two performances to be given in Pine Bluff, Friday, October 11th, will be events long to be remembered.

A Receipt that VIII Prevent weevi,s From Getting Into Corn.-Our
 Farmers Should Try 1t.

The following Is cheap, yet ex- ceilent receipt, that will prevent weevils from getting into corn. Our farmer should give it trial. It is guaranteed by those who have tried it. "Take one bushel common coarse salt, put in @ kettle with 25 gallons of water, boil half an hour, stirring frequently. then add quarter of a pound of saltpetre, and as dissolved take it off, pour 1t into barrel, and put it just inside your crib door, clean your crib good of all trash, shucks, old corn, etc., and when you throw in your first load of new corn level it and sprinkle it well with the solution from the barrel, using only a broom or bundle of shucks. By this means you will not only keep the weevils out, but you season the shucks and husk so that the horse will eat every particle

PREPARING A PRESCRIPTION
How Druggist Instructed His Assis-
 tant.

II noticed,' said the druggist to his assistant, quoth London Tid- Bits, ''that gentleman came in with a prescription, and that you took 1t and gave him the stuff In about three minutes. What do you mean by that?"
 ''It was only a little carbolic acid and water" replied the assistant. "I simply had to pour few drachms of acid into the bottle and fill it up with water"
 Never mind if you had only to do that" the druggist declared. Don't you know that every pre- scription must take at least half an hour to dispense or the customer will think he isn't getting anything for his money?"
 "When prescription for salt and water or peppermint and cough syrup is handed to you, you must look at it doubtfully. as if it were very nara to make up. Then you must bring 1t to me, and we will both read 1t and shake our heads. After that you go back to the customer and ask him if he wants it today. When he says he does, you answer that you will make a special effort"
 Now patient appreciates q prescription that there has been much trouble over, and when he takes it he derives same benefit from it. But don't you do any more of that three-minute prescription business, my boy, if you want to become a first-cIass druggist"

A few weeks ago young man bought pair of socks containing a note saying the writer was an ems ploye at the Kenosha (Wis.) knit ting works and wanted good hus- band. She gave her name and re- quest that the buyer, if unmarried, write with the view of matri- mony. The young man who found that note considered the matter in all it's phases, and then decided to write to the girl. He did. Awaiting with anxiety, he was rewarded with acute letter stating thatshe was now the mother of two children and had been married four years, and the letter had been written ever so long ago. It was a 'ssockdolager" and the young man hunted for a solution. He found 1t. The merchant of whom he bought the socks doesn t advertise.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Jolly Joe Cawthorne, who is mak- ing a tour of the country this season under the direction of John w. Dunne, in his new play, "A Fool For Luck" will appear in this city next Monday evening. Although a young man, Mr. Cawthorne has won the reputation of being the best expo- nent of German-American characters on the stage. While his style and methods are different from those of the late J. K. Emmet, his work equals in refinement and fidelity to nature that of the great comedian mentioned. MT. Cawthorne never resorts to anything that can offend Germany's sons and daughters, and for this reason he is favorite with them.

A SUPERB OPENING
OF THE KAUFMAN BAzAAR-cRoWDS OF PEOPLE IN ATTEND.
 ANcE.
Beautiful Goods of All Descriptions on Ex hibition-The Millinery sDepart- ment Cotton Palace Filled
 With the Lovliest
 of Goods.

What an immense throng of ladies gathered tthe Kaufman Bazaar this morning, and what an immense and lovely stock of goods greeted their eyes. The occasion of the gathering of the unusually large number Of people was the fact that the opening of the Bazaar began this morning and will continue for three days, and everybody knowing that Mir. Kauf- man has the reputation of being one tof he most careful and select buyers in the city, wanted to see the stock of goods purchased by him when at it's best advantage. This morning their desires were gratified, for the Bazaar, always filled with lovely goods and novelties, was a dream of beauty. From floor ito ceiling, on all sides, arranged with the most exquisite taste, were fabrics of allRkinds and descriptions, beautiful in varied colors and rich designs. In dress goods, rough effects seemed to predominate this season.
 In the cloak department was dis l played one of the handsomest line of wraps ever brought to Pine Bluff. There were cleaks and capes of Bouele, plush, sherred eoney, wool. astrachan, seal and monkey, and of the most exquisite styles. Also in this department was magnificent line of jackets of the same descrip- tion.
 The Bazaar, this season, has added a new line of goods, for 1t now carries an immense, yet selecU, stock of California blankets and downeom- forts.
 In the rear our reporter found the millinery department, presided over by Miss E. V. Peters, anu it was here that the most exquisite taste had been displayed in decoration. This department was designed as a cotton palace. The ceiling was cov- cred with white cotton batting, with here and there bits of color to give it a good effect, and we may assert. without fear of contradiction, that 8 more unique, yet beautiful exhibit was never before seen in Pine Bluff.
 Hats and bonnets of all kinds, all shades of color and styles, were ar- ranged in this department so as to be seen to the very best advantage. The combinations of colors this sea- son are particularly beautiful. Yel- low and black green and blue, and & delightful shade of brown seems to predorlnate. More flowers are worn on hats this season than ever before in winter.
 This is the fifth opening of the Kaufman Bazaar over which Miss Peters has presided, and the GRAPHIC cannot help but admit that it exceis all others in beauty and design and excellence of goods shown.
 This season the Kaufman Bazaar is making speciality of infants wear and here mothers can obtain all kinds of clothingfor their sweet little cherubs at terms that will astonish them at the extremely low prices charged.
 With the magnificent stock of goods on hand, purchased at such low terms, the Bazaar this winter will do the best business in its his tory. In the employ of the Bazaar are the most accommodating sales ladies and salesmen. who always are delighted to show goods to cus- toners, and will leave nothing un- done that will please those who visit the Bazaar.
