Barnum and Bailey Excursion.

All railroads recognizing the impor-
tance of Barnum & Baileys Circus will
place extra trains in service and offer
special low rates, in most instances in
| cluding admission to the show when
the "Greatest on Earth" visits Dubois,
Sept. 2Sth.
The Barnum & Bailey enterprise, the
biggest and grandest of It's kind in all
the world, offers great many novel
features this year, original and unique,
including two female clowns. There
are so horses trained to perform almost
incredible feats, the whole number
appearing in one ring at one time, be-
sides "a elephants, which occupy three
rings, eight in each one at the same mo-
ment. In the double menageria tent is
one of the most delightful entertain
ments ever dreamed Of consisting Of a
whole lot Of curious East Indian natives
girl and boy dancers, families of Singha-
lese and others, who give characteristic
exhibitions of their home life and occu-
pations. To faithfully portray this Bud
dhist temples, native weapons, utensils,
implements, musical instruments and
the many huts and houses OF the natives
are used, and the whole exhibition,
which is called Oriental India, is of the
kind to please, instruct and interest
everyone. Three rings, three stages,
and racing track will be used this sea-
son to show the 100 circus, aerial, aero
batic. gymnastic, and hippodromatic
acts, feats, and performances, and there
are besides more objects OF interest in
the so cages of wild beasts, Johanna,
the gorilla, the dens of performing ami
mails, and the curious natives. The big
show is larger this year than ever, con-
tains more meritorious attractions than
were ever before presented, requires
more cars to transport it than any other
show owns, while its street parade is
not only the largest, but the most mag
nificent.

ments Made in Hotel Mcconnell.
Last Saturday morning the scribe OF
this paper, while meandering for news,
stepped into the spacious new Office Of
Hotel Mcconnell TO wait until very
wet shower passed by. Frank J. Black,
the genial proprietor, was in the Office
and kindly offered to show the pencil
pusher through his large and popular
hotel, In which he has made some
| decided improvements. An addition Of
22x36 feet has been built on to the front
OF the hotel, giving 1t Main street
frontage of 30 feet. The Office has been
enlarged and is now the largest hotel
office In this section OF the country. A
costly and pretty cherry and maple
counter, with French plate glass show
case In one end Of 1t, is one OF the con-
spicuous improvements in the office.
An umbrella and over-shoe cabinet, of
Mr.. Blacks own devise, occupies place
back Of the counter and the coat room

and writing room are finished In oak.
The entire hotel has been repapered
and repainted from top to bottom. As
Mine Host Black has keen eye for
pretty things 1t is hardly necessary to
add that the walls and ceilings of halls,
offices, dining room, parlors and bed
rooms are adorned with the prettiest
and latest patterns of paper, and new
carpets and linoleums cover the floors.
This hostelry now has thirty-iive neat,
clean and well furnished bed rooms for
the exclusive use of guests. Another
sample room has been fitted up which
gives the hotel three sample rooms.
Some time ago Hotel Mcconnell was
supplied with all the modern improve
ments, steam heat, gas lights, closets,
&C., and with the improvements just
completed Mr.. Black, who has proven
himself to be an up-to-date hotel man,
now has one OF the finest and most con-
venient hotels in this section.
The billiard room, in connection with
the hotel, is being remodeled and will
be ready to open about the first Of
October.

Hon John NJ Thurston and Others, Mem
bers of Notification Committee of the

GENTLENEN-In pursuance of the prom
Use made to your committee when notified
of my nomination as the Republican can
didate for president, beg to submit this
formal acceptance of that high honor, and
to consider in detail questions at issue in
the pending campaign. Perhaps this
might be considered unnecessary in view
of my remarks on that occasion, and those
have made to delegations that have
visited me since the St. Louis convention,
but in view of the momentous Importance
of the proper settlement of the issues pre-
sented on our future prosperity and stand
ing as nation, and considering only the
welfare and happiness of our people,
should not be content to omit again call
ing attention to the things that in my
opinion vitality affect our strength and
position among the governments of the
world and our morality, integrity and
patriotism as citizens of that republic
which for century past has been the best
hope of the world and the inspiration of
mankind. We must not now prove false
to our own high standards in government,
nor unmindful of the noble example and
wise precepts of the fathers or of the con-
fidence and trust which our conduct in the
past has always inspired.

and should be resisted by every citi-
zen. We are not nation of
classes, but of sturdy, Free independent
and honorable people, despising the dema-
gogue and never captivating to dishonor
This overcoming effort endangers popu-
lar government and is menace to our
liberties. 1t is not a new campaign de-
vice or party appeal. 1t is as old as gov
eminent among men, but was never more
untimely and unfortunate than now,
Washington warned us against it, and
Webster said in the senate in words which
feel are singularly appropriate at this
time: II admonish the people against the
object of overtures like these admonish
every industrious laborer of this country
to be on his guard against such delusion.
I tell him the attempt is to play off his
passion against his interest and to prevail
on him in the name of liberty to destroy
all the fruits of liberty"

ANOTHER MONETARY ISSUE
Chicago Platform Declares for 1rredeem-
able Paper Currency.

chicago Platform Declares for 1rredeem-
able Paper Currency.
The silver question is not the only issue
affecting our money in the pending con-
test. Not content with urging the free
coinage of silver, it's strongest champions
demand that our paper money shall be
issued directly by the government of the
United States. This is the Chicago Dem
ocratic declaration. The ST. Louis Peo-
pies declaration is that "our national
money shall be issued by the general gov
eminent only, without the intervention of
banks of ISSUE be full legal tender for the
payment of all debts, public and private, =
and be distributed direct to the people
and through lawful disbursements of the
government"
Thus, in addition to the free coinage of
the worlds silver we are asked to enter
upon an era of unlimited irredeemable
paper currency. The question which was
fought out from 1865 to 1879 is thus to be
reopened with all it's cheap money expert
ments of every conceivable form foisted
upon us. This indicates most startling
reactionary policy, strangely at variance
with every requirement. of sound finance;
but the declaration shows the spirit and
parpose of those who, by combined action
are contending for the control of the gov
eminent. Not satisfied with the debase-
ment of our coin which inevitably follows
the free coinage of silver at 16 to /, they
would still further degrade our currency
and threaten the public honor by the un-
limited issue of an irredeemable paper
currency. A graver menace to our finan-
cial standing and credit could hardly be
conceived, and every patriotic citizen
should be aroused to promptly meet and
effectually defeat it,
In the Highest Degree Reprehensible.
1t is a cause for painful regret and solic-
itude that an effort is being made by those
high in the counsels of the allied parties
to divide the people of this country into
classes and create distinctions among us
which in fact do not exist and are repug-
nant to our form of government. These
appeals to the passion and prejudice are
beneath the spirit and intelligence of a
free people and should be met with stern
rebuke by those they are sought to infiu-
ence, and I believe they will be. Every
attempt to array class against class, ''the
classes against the Masses" section
against section, labor against capital ''the
poor against the rich" or interest against
interest in the United States, is in the
highest degree reprehensible. 1t is op-
posed to the national instinct and interest
