On Friday, October 9TH, a petition
signed by 20 voters was filed in the
county clerks Office requesting that the
names of Sam Adams, F. NJ. Shell and
Burd Lacy be placed on the democratic
ticket. We stated last week that the
nomination was made by the commit
tee and the officers of the democratic
convention, but owing to the fact that
it would have precipitated a protest
and the further fact that there was
some question as to the intent of the
law, it was decided to nominate by Pc
tition. If the present arrangement
stands, and we suppose it will, the
names of A. l.. Herr and H. G. Walker
will not appear on the democratic
ticket. We are informed, however,
that the failure on the part OF the
democrats Of the Third district TO nom.
mate Mr.. Walker was purely on &C.
count Of negligence and not because OF
any Ill will. Mr.. Walker will receive
the solid democratic support of the
democrats IN his district.

The Great John Robinson Show to Exhibit in
THIS City ehortly.

For three-quarters Of a century the
John Robinson Greatest Of all Ameri-
can Shows has been q leading factor in
tho entertainment of the great Ameri-
can public. It was organized at time
when the travelling circus was in its in
fancy In the United States, and it read.
lily took first rank rs the leading
amusement institution of its day. The
high standard set for this great show at
that time has Dever been deviated from
in tho slightest particular, and while
maintaining It's distinctive character
~ pure. clean aud exceptionally mer-
itorious entertainment, it has always
kept In touch with the times and with
The progress Of the age. It has always
oeen . pioneer in the search for new
and attractive features, and during its
career 1t has probably expended more
money for great and distinctive acts
than all other American shows combin.
cd. This season the show is bigger,
better and grander than ever, and the
announcement that this great and ia
nous aggregation will exhibit in Medi.
sine Lodge, Friday, October 2l, will be
hailed with general satisfaction. The
nsme Of tho John Robinson show is in
itself an irresistible magnet, but 1t is
no part Of the management's policy to
rest its claims for patronage upon the
sriumphs OF the past. The list of at
Sractive features provided for the pres
snt season IL fully In keeping with the
great resources Of the show and will be
a revelation to its many thousands Of
patrons. Foremost among the list of
great features Is Mr.. Louis Cyr, Cana.
da's giant Of strength, unquestionably
he strongest man in the world, and, in
fact. the most powerful man of whom

ated with the great Cyr. is q triple COM
