COMING ON ITS OWN TRAINS HUMMEL, HAMILTON AND
 SELLS UNITED SHOWS.
Will Exhibit at Pine Bluff on Saturday, October 30,
 1887.

Of dummel, Hamilton and Sells United Shows to exhibit in Pine Bluff on Saturday. October 30, the Cincinnati Enquirer says:
 "Talk about your circuses, the one given by Hummel, Hamilton and Sells has certainly taken the record so far as Cincinnati Is concerned, Such jam as was attracted to the show grounds on the opening night was never seen here before, and doubtless was never seen in any city of it's size and the judgment of the people who went to the circus was that it WIS q show that to miss it was to miss an event, and that II was a mighty good show to see twice. The street parade showed two special features. The hnmani- 1nrian could not have been i'll pleas ea with the condition of the horses, which are rounded, fat and full of life. The other thing was the clean liness and bright appearance of the wagons, in all, parade more bright, attractive and more worthy of remembering than any such that has visited Cincinnati in years. The grand entry at the circus is q thing of beauty, full of gittering banners, lovely women and handsome men. The wardrobes are beautiful, with ont cheap g0rgeousness, and the colors show as bright as a rainbow. 50 great was the crowd that the circus tent was filled plumb to the apex the opening performance. Not only was every seat occupied, but standing room was all taken aud the boys climbed upon the tent poles because there was no place else to get.
 "The management had everything sO we'll arranged, however, that the show proceeded to the delight of all, without any hitch or inconvenience except what was necessarily caused by the terrific thunder storm. when the rain came down in torrents. The management had been forced to stop selling tickets for the first per formance The crowd showed it's appreciation Of nearly every act by demanding its repetition.
 The combination of performers and artists in the great Hummel, Hamil- ton and Sells shows is one that is hard to snrpass in any circus.

LACK ORIGINALITY.
Why Many Criminals Are Easily Brought
 to Justice.

fOne reason why detectives appear to do something miraculous occasional ly is that there is after all very littlo originality in criminals, said one Of Chief Hagen s sleuthhounds recently.
 When man sets out to get nioney by crooked means, ho seldom sits dowH and evolves a new plan On the con trary, he evidently thinks of the smart cases he has heard of at different times, makes up his mind which suits him best and copies the plan adopted very closely indeed
 Hence, when the detective sets out. he has, in many instances, quite il string of precedents to take as guides to the course the criminal will probably pursue.
 ''One case, years ago, that helped me immensely ill the business, was forg- cry. The man had disappeared and left no clew whatever behind.
 T obtained access to his room and found that he had developed a partial ity for cutting scraps from newspapers There was a whole drawerful of these, and went through them carefully.
 Several had relation to forgery cases, and one cutting that appeared to be pretty badly fingered described how forger had got away ill woman s at tire
 II worked on the theory that my bird had flown in this manner and fol lowed it up until l finally got on the track and captured the criminal
 s'The capture was regarded as a very remarkable one, but, as matter of fact. the runaway had left fer mo an exceedingly valuable claw. If he had taken the precauticn to burn chat cut ting, he might havo escaped capture al together Cincinnati EEquirer

PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY
Few Of Them seem to Have Learasd
 Anything Noble From Nature.


 "For the stability and righteousness of our government we are accustomed to think WIG must pin our faith on tho country people who live near to na- ture' heart. writes Mrs. Lyman An bolt in The Ladies' Home JoHrnal the first of series Of Peaceful Valley" papers, which pictu-e fife in an ideal rural community tBut how many of them. she says, seem to have learned anything noble from her? Her beauty does not refine them, her honesty does not incite them to th0r0ughness, her free hand.dness does not inspire them to generesitY--they become narrow and sordid in the midst of grandeur aud lib erality. They imagine there can he nothing in life but work or play, toil or rest, and they feel a contempt for those who play and rest They have never learned to minglc work and play, toil and rest i'll due proportion, and they cease to find any pleasure ill life Hnless they abandon work altogether Like tho tired woman who wrote her own epi taph they fancy heaven a place where they can do nothing forever and ever.
 This view of life makes loafers in the village as it makes them in tho cities When different spirit has found room to grow, new order of living prevails. Life becomes something moro than slow grinding of the mill. moro than burden, to be endured only be- cause it cannot be at will laid down. IL becomes a luxury as well as q necessi- ty. Individuals combine, not for their own advantage, but to multiply bene- factions, and as strength increases by it's right use, the attainment of oue worthy and ambitious advantage is only the suggestion and achievement of au- other.

Evangelist Traum.

Evangelist Traum will begin meet
ing the second week in the new year, at
the Church of Christ. Mr.. Traum held
very successful meeting at Danville,
o., last summer, when 80 we're added to
the Church. He is a brilliant student
at Hiram College, and has made such
progress that he could grauate now aud
not wait till commencement, if the rules
of the College did permit. What, how.
ever, will endear him to the hearts Of 80
many in Hillsboro is that he was Eu
gene Brooks assistant pastor at Finlay,
o., and is now his trusted friend. Mr..
Traum is deep student of the Bible, a
scholar, Christian gentleman, and an
eloquent preacher of the gospel. Much
good, it may be reasonably expected,
will come to our town through the ef
forts of the gifted and gracious young
evangelist.
