vince his hearers that the millennium
who would stand upon a free silver Mat
form. The burden Of the last half hour o.
his talk was "down with capitalists - anf
for an equal distribution of the wealth Of
this country. He was followed by W. II
Bliss OF burlington, who prefaced what ht
pressing the pain it gave him to be Obliged
to vote the democratic ticket this year
after having been a republican since he at
tanned his majority. A crowd of small bows

FIVE THOUSAND people sweltered under
the canvas OF the Barnum & Bailey circus
last Wednesday, and the evening perform
ance was attended by about $500. The
crowd that lined the streets at the hour of
the parade was one of the largest ever seen
IN this city. "A conservative estimate
placed the number of strangers in town at
o,OVO. Barring the runaway mentioned
elsewhere, no accidents were reported. The
show itself was not a disappointment,
Ihree rings, two stages, a racing track and
numerous aerial apparatus were required to

varied entertainment. Among the new and
novel performances in the ring were the
equestrian May-pole dance, high iumping
horse contests, the new womanv on
horseback, two female clowns, fifty trained
horses performing in one ring and the
nlght OF the human arrow. In the nenag-
erie herds Of elephants, open dens of wild
beasts, cages OF animals properly classified,
Johanna, the giant gorilla, and the enter
ainment by natives Of Oriental India gave
delight to thousands. A gang Of pick.
pockets and gamblers followed in the wake
OF the show, but through the efforts OF De-
tectlve Cook, in the employ of the show,
Press Agent Watkins, Chief of Police Tut,
tle and his assistants and Constable r.. B,
Wedge on Berlin side, these swindlers
ound 1t extremely hazardous to try their
little games. All the stone. sheds and man.
ufacturing establishments shut down for the
day.
NOTWITHSTANDING the intense heat. the
republican city caucus to nominate a city
representative to the next general assembly,
held last Friday evening in Capital Hall,
was largely attended. The meeting was
called to order by Major O.. d. Clark, chair
OF the city committee. H. A. Huse
rotary. On motion of j. G. Brown a com
mittee OF five was appointed by the chair to
present a list Of twelve names to be placed
In nomination for justices of the peace.
