The Walnut Valley church elected
new officers for the ensuing year, and
we are confident the church will pass
1895 in profitable way, as it did 1894.
Bob Peugh has concluded that he is
like other mortais and would like to rest
one day in seven, so he will not keep
his barber shop open on Sundays here
after.
The revival meetings that are being
conducted by Rev. Giddens at Mt.
Pleasant are said to be very interesting.
You would have to search long and far
to find man more filed with sympathy
and love for his fellow man than Rev.
Giddens.

THE Beacon is eminently correct,
and we are glad to note that Senator
Armstrong and Representative Cole
are daily winning friends to Great
Bend as the proper location for such
school. No other city in the west half
of the state is so we'll situated, or in a
position to furnish proper grounds aud
buildings, and the railroad facilities
are all that could be desired. We
believe the chances are good for Great
Bend getting a state normal.

THE editors of county newspapers
are often blamed with showing partial
ity in their notices OF churches, socIe
tbs and families. when the fact is the
parties most interested are the only
ones to blame. The average county
newspaper doesn't possess a sufficient
force of reporters to send to every
church service in the range of its cir
culation. and it must needs depend an
some person interested to send in the
news. Manv pastors or members of
congregations do this and their items
are gladly printed, bat the paper is
found fault with by other churches.

and the charge of partiality is mado;

particular organization. while the other
societies by keeping their items to
themselves miss the little mentions

To the Ceremony and Return Awheel-BridaI
Sweetness Enhanced by the Costumes
Of the New Route to Bliss

OAKLAND, Sept. 6.-Oakland origi-
mated the bicycle spine argument, which
still echoes along the cyclers' path, and
Oakland has had bloomer balls galore.
1t row remains for Alameda county to
have been the scene of the first bloome er
wedding to have occurred on this coast.
And the name of the bloomer bride was
not Daisy Bell.
Ella r. Baker wheeled through Oak
land yesterday morning dressed in as
fetching a bloomer costume as ever a
young lady wore. She wheeled through
Oakland some hours later as Mrs. Alfred
N. Couture, still bewitchingly bloomered.
In those few hours she bad ridden to
her wedding in her jaunty outfit and in
the same costume had stood before the
Clergyman and heard the words pro-
nounced which made her a wife, and
had ridden away to the wedding feast.
The breakfast was eaten under the most
joyous circumstances. The bride in
bloomers, the groom in wheeling cos
tune, and the groom's man and brides
maid dressed exactly as were the bride
and groom.
The wedding was by no means the re-
suit of a momentary impulse. The groom
is young San Francisco physician and
the bride is a student in the California
Medical college. Tne couple were not
seeking notoriety. for every effort was
made to keep the wedding queit and
wherever their secret was known they
exacted promises that the circumstances
should not be made public.

THE CUP RACE

There is good reason to expect that the
Defender will win today's race, though
in sporting events no apothegm is truer
than the old one of the only certain
things in this world peing death and
taxes. The present contest for the cup
is different from all others, on account Of
me difference in the lines of construction
in the American boat. Heretofore we
have built our yachts for these races on
what has been purely American type,
that uf the skimming dish model, with
an adjustable keel called center b. oard.
The English started out with their ideas
based on the cutter. which consisted of a
boat with very deep hull. The Valkyrie
and Defender have modified both ideas.
The deep hull of the English cutter and
the, deeper centerboard of the American
skim ming dish have given way to an ex-
tension of the keel proper to an extraor-
binary depth.
We can take defeat this TINS with
some degree OF equanim ity, having a long
list of victories IN the past to pride our
selves upon, but none the less we wish
to win, and we believe we will win.
The Defender is noble craft. and the
OuuS among Gne DelUlng men nave Deen
three to one in her favor. and the sports
generally Know what they are about.
There is only one thing against this
cheerful view of the matter, and that is
so intangible as to hardly merit serious
consideration-the Defender has had the
misfortune to suffer a NUM- Der of acci-
dents, though of minor consequence,
and there is suspicion that she may be
laboring under the incubus of ''hoo-
doo."
On the whole the prospect is that the
American yacht will win out without
race against her. and that the famous
cup will continue to rest in its quarters
in Tiffany's vaults.
Whatever may be the outcome, it is
pleasant thing to be able to say that the
active contestants-the Earl of Dunraven,
and the members of the syndicate which
owns the Defender, have proved them
selves thorough sportsmen and gentle
men and whichever wins, the contest will
have been decided purely on its merits.
However. long live the Defenderl

CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE
Very Large Crowds Attended tie Show
Yesterday
The Geological Collection and the Feats OF
Riding Juggling and Other Features
Interest and Amuse Thousands

Never in the history Of Los Angeles has
line as that which marked the opening
of the New Great Syndicate Shows and
Paris Hippodrome yesterday. To say that
the tentsiwere packed would be express
ing the fact in a term too mild. Such a
tremendous crowd has s.never oeen seen at
any place OF amusement IN this city be-
fore.
The circus people displayed rare skill
in managing the multitude. Every body
saw the show with the least possible
amount of inconvenience. A score OF
circus attaches pustled around finding
seats for late arrivals and seeing that
everybody was happy and satisfied.
The advertisements of the shows led
the people to expect great dea' more
from the Syndicate Shows than is usually
afforded by the great travelling circuses,
and the expectation was fairly realized.
1t is the greatest aggregation that has
yet been seen in this section of the coun-
try. The menagerie contains large and
interesting collection of wonderful oeni-
zens OF the air, lungles, mountains,
plains and seas.
Grown folks were charmed by the va
riety of queer things exhibited, while the
children stood with mouths agape and
eyes popping. The ladies and children
manifested intense interest in the cum
| ning little baby kangaroo. The man in
charge of the little fellow allowed the
people to pet the little creature as much
as they pleased. while papa and mamma
kangaroo looked ON with mild-eyed ap-
proval. The fierce lions and snarling

panthers. the gaunt hyenas, the lean
cougars. tho sinuous reptiles. the agile
monkeys, the venerable elephants, the
docile camels, the shaggy bears, the noble
deer. the sacred Indian oxen, the un-
calmly ostriches, to say nothing of the
baby ostriches. also commanded large
share of the interest of the people in at
tendance.
But II the menagerie was a scene of
wonder to the people it was eclipsed by
the other show, the one in the i'm mmense
tent where the acrobats and riders held
sway. Seldom is anything seen to COM
pare with the feats performed there under
the circus tent. The vast audience was
held spellbound for over two hours, and
frequent thunderous bursts of applause
rewarded the performers.
First of all in the estimation of the au-
dience was the riding tigeress. Victoria.

in the advertisement was borne out by
the performance. She rode the horse and
performed various other feats in manner
that won for her trainer salvos of ap-
plause.
Francis Read, the boy bare back rider,
performed the wonderful feat of turning
back somersaults on the back of his
steed. Millie Murray, the lady rider, ac-

Treasury Gold Exports

WASHINGTON. Sept. Ga telegram m re-
ceived at the treasury department this
afternoon states that 81. 500, 900 in golu
had been Withdrawn for export from the
subtreasury at New York. Slight gains,
however, were made at Chicago and other
points, aggregating $lS6. 900, go the true
amount OF the reserve at the close of busi-
ness was $98. 513,5 529. The cash balance
was $1S1, 1,577, 1853. The treasury officials
maintain their usual reticence on the sub
ject but there is no doubt that they were
somewhat disappointed and surprised
that the syndicate permitted the bust
ness day to close without making a de-
posit. From the start the officials have
confidently believed S100, 000,003 was the
lowest point which the syndicate would
permit the reserve to reach, and heLce
their inaction at this time is not under
stood. There is, however. no alarm felt,
as it is expected the syndicate will come
to the rescue on the first sign OF uneasi-
ness on the part of the public.
