All the Worlds Greatest Entertain
ment Within Easy Reach.

ment Within Easy Reach.
Buffalo Bills Wild West and Congress
Of Rough Riders of the World will ex-
hibit on Wednesday, July 30 at Saginaw,
and the most positive and unreserved
assurance is given in all serious sincerity
that the exhibition will be precisely the
same in every detail, man for man and
horse for horse, as it was given for five
years throughout Europe, where it was
the one great and reigning sensation i'll
London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Rome,
Madrid and all the European metropoli
exactly the same as it was given at the
Worlds Fair at Chicago in 1898; in New
York in 1894, and in over 160 of the
principal cities of the Eastern States in
1895.
The newspaper regards il as an abso-
Lutte privilege to see this world-famous
exhibition. It's like may not be seen
again. The one eminent and CEN
tral figure i'll the history of American
scouts and guides accompanied by a
thousand men and over 700 horses;
actual soldiers from the armies of Eng
land, France, Germany, Russia, and the
United States; over 100 warriors from
the six surviving tribes of American
Indians the wild riders from Mexico,
South America, and the plains and
mountains of Asia all making the most
novel, unique, educational and enter
tanning exhibition the world has ever
known. Hundreds Of miles of travel TO
see it would be well rewarded, and as
exceptionally cheap excursions will be
run to it from all lines Of travel, it
should attact great throng of people
from this vicinity.

THE SHOW
Made Matters Lively in Alma Tues

Made Matters Lively In Alma Tues
day,
The Great Syndicate Show and Paris
| Hippodrome arrived in Alma about five
| O'Clock Tuesday morning. AS early rs
the show, however, were the small boy
and girl, and good many whose age
would indicate that they had long ago
out grown such sights.
The cars We're unloaded and the tents
| and all else belonging to the show
draw to the grounds just south of the
school house, where the tents were soon
III position, and little later the grand
parade" was seen on our streets. The
| main show was first-class, ana by many
appreciated more than Darnum d
Bailey.
The show was accompanied by the
very worst specimens that ever visited
any town, who manipulated the differ
ent games and tricks by which the fool
| and his money were to be soon parted.
Several persons "bit" III the hopes to
visibly increase their cash surplus, the
idea never once entering their minds
that Ill attempting to beat rascal at
his own game they We're very apt to be
beaten. And they We're, and it served
them right. They entered the game to
pluck or be plucked, and the lesson
is cheap one possibly. a gang of pick
pockets, or more properly, highway
robbers, piled their lghtfngered occu-
patton very successfully III the side
show, and many a one went home
poorer by several dollars. Such losers
have the sympathy of all. Identification
and arrest We're alike impossible
although warrants We're sworn out for
three persons, charged with swindling.
Armed with these warrants Marshal
Greig went ts the show company's cars
TO search for the men. He obtained
entrance and continued the search for
the men under great difficulties, but
could not find the fellows While the
marshal was thus engaged on the inter
ior of the car, crowd had collected
around the exterior. Angry words were
exchanged, and presently show man
siezed sand bag and attacked John ID.
Spinney, and for once this legal lumin-
AIRY had nothing to say. Wilbur Nelson
was also hit, but only dazed for the
moment
Not finding the men he sought.
Marshal Greig telephoned for Pros.
Atty Leet and Sheriff Petit, and these
officers were here an hour later But
what to do was Il question which puzzled
the future congressman from the
eleventh district. If he detained the
whole company, in order to be sure of
getting the guilty ones, he saw heavy
damage suit against the county. Final
ly Mr.. Petit and Mr. Leet succeeded in
getting the Snowman to give up some of
their ill-gotten gains, and the entire
aggregation" was allowed to depart

Wonderful Cures in Wisconsin.

DR.. Warner-Dear Sir: Last March
my children were taken down with
the measles, which left four of them
with very bad coughs. My oldest
daughters case became so alarming
that we feared she would have quick
consumption. Tried many different
medicines, recommended for coughs
and lung complaints, but ali to no pur-
pose. One of my neighbors recon-
mended your White Wine of Tar
Syrup, as one bottle had cured nearly
every man in camp where he worked
of severe colds, and my family COM
menced taking it. In three days we
saw great change for the better and
they did not use the whole of one
bottle before their coughs were cured.

paign at the opera house Thursday,

the aggregation of the ex-Republican
talent advertised. The three speak
ers advertisement John Lind, Frank

licans except on the silver issue, &C
cording to their own claims. The
only speakers that the silverites
have had in Mankato this year, that
they Dragged of at all, have been for
mer Republicans. All of the leading
Democrats seem to have bolted the
anarchistic Chicago platform, and are
working for honest money and the
stability of our freedom ensuring in
situations.
The audience last night was largely
composed of Republicans and sound
money Democrats, and this must have
been painfully apparent to the speak
ers in the small volume of applause
which their best efforts received. The
most spontaneous applause of the eve
ming Ewas given at the mention of
Congressman McCleary's name. The
hand clapping at other times did not
seem to proceed from more than a
hundred or so of the audience, and
Kisses were heard when some particu-
larly rank statements were made in
the absence of fact and logic.
