this is the startling novelty which
Ringing brothers, the noted circus
managers, offer the public this year
as the latest evidence Of their Origi-
nality and munifcent expenditure.
The idea of dividing a circus pro-
ceSSiGn into divisions is in itself
novelty, while the way 10 which the
original scheme has been worked out
not only reflects great credit upon
these always progressive managers,
but makes the street paradeS Of other
institutions look small and tawdry
in comparison with it. In the city OF
Chicago, where Ringing Bros famous
circus has exhibited over one hundred
times to the largest audiences ever
seen In the Worlds Fair city, the
leading newspapers unhesitatingly de-
clare that Ringling Bros. street
parade is the most novel, the most
unique. the most gorgeous and the
most royalty respondent street display
ever inaugurated by a cirrus manage.
ment. And even this does not tell
the full story Of its wonders. Each
section represents some distinct
national characteristic, either in this
or other countries, or some noted
historical, while the costuming, the
tableaux, 0rnamentation and the vari-
colOrs Of the huge dens and cars of
state are so arranged as to blend 10
harmony or to create striking and
effective contrasts to the artistic eye.
Among the notable features in the
thirty sections into which the parade
is divided, are characteristic repre-
sensations OF all the most noted
military organizations in the world,
all in their national uniform, properly
accoutred and mounted on magnificent
war horses; military convoy 10 the
Punjaub, with its ponderous ele-

to gain entrance 10 the iron drawer

The thief or thieves entered the

shop was torn of. Through this hole
they reached and unbOlted the door,

in getting into the hardware store.
The shot guns are the only thingS

work was done by nOvices, as is evil

they whitfield up the interior wood

evidently familiar with the store and

the opinion that the burglary was the

youths of this city. Cards offering a
reward of $40 for the arrest of the
thief or thieves and the return of the
stolen property have been sent out by
the sheriff.

Brown Squelched.

Kingman, Kan, sept. 1.-THE Pop
ull>t county convention which met 10
this city today demonstrated that all
is not harmony In the silver ranks OF
this county. Many of the delegates
were bitter at W. l.. Brown, Governor
Leedy's appOintee on the state board
of charities, and report that he had
brought Senator Jumper TO make
speech for the state administration
called forth open threats that he
would not be permitted to address the
convention, and resulted in resOlu-
tiOn COndemning the governor for
appointing members of the state leg
islature to state positions.
Mr.. Brown, though in the city, did
not appear in the convention hall
during the day.
The committee on resolutions was
out three hOu s and then only par
italy agreed on a patchwork report.
There was nOend Of wrangling, mostly
over the endorsement Of Governor
Leedy. The state administration
was mildly commended for its honesty
and especially condemned for many
things.
The convention declared emphat-
iCally against al extra session Of the
legislature.
In making up the county ticket
every man Brown was supposed to be
for was turned down.
A Democrat was nominated for
treasurer in the face Of the deClara-
ton of many of the delegates that If
it was dORe they would not support
the ticket.
The silver forces here are not unit
ed, Notwithstanding the twenty ap-
pOintments Governor Leedy has given
the county to contribute to that end.

County Seat Removal fi,ht.

The legal proceedings to prevent the
contemplated removal Of the county seat
Of Colfa4 county from Springer to Ration,
aud Reid. solicitors for Jesus G. Abreu.
James Cory and John @. Taylor, COM
p~lainauts, filed a bill In the district court
asking for an injunction to restrain the
board of county commissioners OF Colfax
county from taking any further pro
ceediugs whatever. under the law passed
at the last legisla;ure, which attempts to
authorize county scat removais under Ger.
tain conditions. The bill also asks for a
restraining order upon the judges and
| clerks OF the election heretofore appointed
by the county board.
The bill OF complaint aled is a very vol
luminous document, and Judge Jmitb, up
issued an order directed to The defendants
named in tbs bill to appear before him
here on Friday, June Alb, and show cause
why the Injunction should not be issued as
prayed for. The orders will be served
upon the principal defendants tomorrow.
The bill attacks the county seat removal
law as b ing special lsgisla ion and 10 con-
travention of that act OF congress of July
30th, 1886, known as the Springer Act.
II also attacks the proceedings attempted
to be had by the county board as being ir.
regular. Ono OF tho charges In the bill Is
that there Is no money in the county treas
ury with which to defray the expenses of
holding the spsclal election and that such
the case at the timo the special cleo
tion was called. This proposition will in
voIve a construction of one Of the sections
OF the celebrated act OF the last legislative
assembly known as the 'Bateman law"
The attorneys on the part OF the city of
Ration are Mr. A. A. Jones, CT this city,
aod Mr.. Charles, Springer, of Ration, and
a highly interesting legal battle can be ex-
pected from now on, in this matter of go
much local interest in Colfax county.
