2.66 inches, at z p. m. it was $50 inches,

in the mountains heavy SHOWS are report
ed, in many places being several feet deep,

The Coming Exhibitions.

As can be seen elsewhere in our columns
the Big Show of the period is Oh its way
and will soon be here. The Circus and
Hippodrome performances, we are told,
surpass any yet given by other shows, and
its Grand Menagerie contains large
number of rare beasts, many of which
have never before been seen in this
county, and the many wonders of its
chronological collection is source of
amazement. Eastern newspapers unani-
mously agree in extending it the palm of
superiority, and say it is undoubtedly the
best show in the Union. The feats of its
Educated Horses have never been equal
ed. Iii is immensely patronized every
where. We have read articles inviting a
return visit. 1t is billed for miles and
miles around, and is sure to congregate
the masses from everywhere on Bond
Brothers Worlds Best Show day at
Dodge City, on Tuesday, April 21st.

Geo. W. Reighard has three stands OF
bees and he intends increasing the num-
Der of hives. From these three stands he
derived 100 pounds of honey last year.
p. r. Hobble has three stands of bees
and will increase the number of hives.
Waldo Tarbox has five stands of bees,
and he has gathered q good quantity OF
honey. He will also increase the number
of hives.
Bissell & Harvey haye four stands of

before the season closes.
NJ. V. Markley and J. NJ. Driscoll are
about to engage in the bee business, and
will put in number of hives this season.
With an abundance of alfalfa growing
on the bottom lands, residents in the
valley will no doubt find bee culture and
the honey production profitable bust
ness.
