From the New York Sun. November u. ls15)
Mr.. ]. A. Bailey, who controls the
Barnum 4 Bailey Show and is sole
owner OF the Adam forcpaugh show,
has acquired an interest with the Sells
Brothers. and hereafter the Forepaugh
and Sells shows will be under the same
tents. The Sells Brothers, consist
ing of Ephraim, Lewis, and Peter Sells,
are among the wealthiest showmen in
the country. The Barnum & Bailey
Show will be in an ally OF the new
combination, but will be Il separate and
distinct organization"
The really colossal anal gamation
thus referred to by the great daily of
which it has been said: If you see
it in the Sun it's So" has been more
widely noticed and commented upon
than any preceding event in the show
world, and involves, among other gil
gantic and far-reaching results, the
consolidation OF two splendidly COM
plete menageries, either of which in
cludes as fine a collection as any pub
lie geological garden can boast and
some rarest representatives exclusively
its own. Among these wild beasts
will be found the monster pair Of hip
popopotami, which have no captive
rivals. two herds of performing ele-
plants, which aggregate nearly score
of every species and size; the only
educated sea lions and seals; the only
tremendous two-horned Sumatra rhi-
noceros; the only full-grown polar
bear; the only flock of ostriches; the
only Niger antelope, gnu, Gland, and a
host of other exceedingly rare and
perfect wild creatures, many of which
are phenomenally trained.
The great hippodrome will be the
scene OF the most exciting and popular
wild beast, thoroughbred, chariot,
bareback, standing and other races of
ancient and Modern times, in which
the most noted male and female
Jockeys and drivers will participate.
The combined circuses, with their
splendid companies of high class male
and female bareback riders, scrobats,
clowns, erialists. performing animals.
four rings, two Olympian stages, and
mid air carnival, form another splen-
didly attractive feature. This stupen-
dous, fascinating, and reputable aggre-
CATION will exhibit at Olympia on
Wednesday, August 10Th, afternoon
only, on the morning of which day
will be presented magnificent double
parade, introducing Queen Cleopatra's
Barge of State, two herds OF elephants,
open dens of wild beasts, and other
unrivaled spectacular features.

man, on Thursday of last week, &C
companied by his wife and two child

WILL WONDERS NEVER CEAsE?-
Prof. Yemen OF this city, ia perfecting
an arrangement by which means
honey bees can be made to deposit in
separate boxes the honey made from
the various kinds of blossoms they
visit. Thus, by adopting this plan,
bee-keepers can hereafter take their
sweet product to the markets neatly
labeled, "White Glover Honey"
Buckwheat Honey" "Apple Bios.

the whole round OF the floral kingdom.
The several kinds of honey will also
possess the characteristic perfume
or fragrance of the blossom from
which it is extracted by the working
bee. OF course, this wonderful dis.
covery is protected by letters patent,
and its adoption will constitute a

The ship of state.
G.. A. HENRY.

We had grand old Ship of State,
In those flourlshing times OF old,
Her keel was made of silver,
Her deck was trimmed in gold
She was steered by as faithful pilots
As ever crossed the main,
Those great and glorious statesmen,
Jackson and Blaine.
But she was finally wrested from them
BY the pirates of the East,
And on that ship of glory
Those pirates had feast.
They stripped her of her silver keel,
And sent her out of port
To meet the storms and tempests
Of which you hear reports.
The pirates tried TO weather her,
But without n keel.
Speaking truly they could not carry
Any of the great ships sails.
She IS laying in the harbor now.
Almost total wreck,
While the pirates are Il Quarreling
AS to who will have the deck.
They haven't long to quarrel now,
The time III coming on
When Bryan and Sewell will take a han,
And put that keel back on.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Where Ignorance Is Bliss IT'S Folly
10 Re Mise,

The political editor OF the Toledo
Blaie OF July Both gives the followin .
answer to the question as to what is
meant by fiat money:
g Please state what is meant by flint money,
e. T., Adams Mills. o.
All money l. OF two Clas-cs-rcAl money and
credit money. Real money is coin, which gels
/ Its value from the market value of the bullion
I 1t contains, like our gold money. Credit money
/ is paper money, which ID Il promise to pay real
money.
! Our silver dollar is about half real and half
credit money. Its bullion value is little over
! 10 cents; hut it is held up Ia gold value by the
government policy OF practically rcdcemlng il
! Ill gold. GOu can exchange silver dollars for
treasury notes, dollar for dollar: and the
treasury notes are redeemed i'll gold by the
All paper money is a promise to pay real
money. The idea of - fiat money is this: In
riEce Of having government paper money read
" The United states will pay one dollar" or
The United States promises To pay one dol
lar, the tatls's would have it read: This II
a dollar. by fiat OF the United States" or similar
words The idea ID to declare that it Is dol
lar. not promise To pay dollar.
Fiat money never existed. 1t is n wild dream
of lunnti . who think picture OF a turkey is a
turkey, II the United States Says it is IL il
founded on the radical error that it is the
stamp OF the government which gives-a
papablc piece of folly.
The man who gave this answer is
either very ignorant or is willfully de-
ceiving. l do not believe the political
editor Of a paper OF the circulation of
the Blade does not know better. He
is stating what is untrue.
ii he will turn to the word Fiat"
in Webster's Unabridged Dictionary,
he will find it to mean: "a command
to do something; a decisive or etlrc,
tive command; decree" (psge sos,
ed. 1879. The Constitution of the
United States says Congress shall
have power to coin money and reg
ulate the value thereof, etc. Ii seems
TO me person who willingly states
glazing falsehoods is one who is dam
gerous person to be at large, and
should be in the asylum for safe keep
ing Of lunatics" We know your gold
ship is sinking condition, and those
who were on board are leaving fast.
But stick to the truth; it will be bet
ter for you hereafter.
If | understand plain words the Con- |
stitution of the United States gives
Congress the power to regulate the
value of all money. You might as
well say there is no such thing rs legal |
murder. The fact is the gold.bugs
know their canse is unjust, and they
are making it unrighteous by wilfully
deceiving honest persons in order to
get votes for Mckinley and Hobart.
The war is now between the people
and moneyed aristocracy, and if l
read the handwriting correctly there
will be such political funeral next
November as will forever settle the
question as to who governs free and
America.

probabilities are that the permission
will be extended so that the mill will

Two Rival Meetings.

The Republicans tried to hold Nc
kinley meeting at the Unitarian
church, Saturday night, and after the
most persistent drumming, threats
and persuasion, they numbered 2lO
suditors, a large proportion of whom
were women and children, to listen to
the speakers imported I" for that occa.
sion only" At the same time a meet
ing of the silver forces was held in Co
lumbia hall and every seat was filled
besides the space for standing room in
the vestibule. D. L. Miller presided
and Arthur Callow acted as Secretary.
There must have been third more of
people in the hall than at the church
and fully twice as many voters. The
meeting WAS addressed by p. NJ. Troy,
Silas Wentz, Chas. H. Aver, P. ID.
Moore and III. l.. Forrest, and their
remarks were greeted with the greatest
enthusiasm. If the temper and dispo-
sition of the two conventions is an in.
dicatiOn OF results, the vote will be so
lop-sided that the Republican ma
chine will be knocked out as effec.
lively as was the Deacon's One

A HAVEN FOR FRATERNAL ORDERS
A court of the Independent Order of
Foresters was instituted in Woodruff
Hall, Saturday evening. by j. Camp
bell. District Deputy. This order has
no connection with the Order OF For
esters, already represented in this city
by Court Capital No. 1917. Olympia
seems to have An inexhaustible reserve
of "joiners." Every order that passes
the city gates receives cordial well
come. 1t was only a few weeks ago
that wigwam" of Redmen lighted
their campfire and erected totem
stick within the precincts OF the An
cient Indian village, Chetwood, now
designated by the more euphonious
and classical name of Olympia. Des-
pite hard times, the orders seem to
thrive, and though a mans family go
on shoIt rations, the "quarterly dues"
are paid with mathematical punctual-
ity. If there is compensation in the
promotion of brotherly love, it might
count for something, but observation
teaches that the relations between the
several orders is about as fraternal az
between the different church organi-
cations, and sometimes lodge is rent
by the dissention OF some of its own
members, "The tree is judged by its
fruits" and we're the teachings Of these
orders the incentive of individual eff
fort doubtless much good might re-
suit, but with the frailty of human
nature in constant warfare against
good intentions, it is very questionable
whether results justify the time and
cost OF maintaining 80 many so-called
fraternal societies.

Bum was neice OF Mr.. George Forbes
OF this place, being daughter OF John
Forbes of Kamilchie. She was q
student in Olympia Collegiate Insti-
tute during the early years of that
school, and many Of the older gradu-
ates will remember her as a beautiful
young girl in whose presence there
was ever magic charm and sunshine
in her pathway. Her parents and
relatives have the sympathy of many
friends in this vicinity and Mason
county. The funeral was held on
Wednesday at Elma, the residence of
the family.
