The Picnic.

1t is an old saying that it never
rains on the day the farmers
have their annual picnic at Lake
Jessie. and last FRIDAY was no
exception to the general lule.
1t was an ideal day for a picnic
and if the large crowd present
in Lake Jessie's beautiful grove
is anything to go by nearly
everybody took advantage of the
weather and attended. A pro-
gram of sports had been pre-
pared for the occasion. In the
forenoon there were foot races,
three-legged races. smoking
races and potato races. Doc
Graf won the smoking race and
Jas. II. Sinclair the foot race.
In the afternoon the bicy Gle
races came first, Will Sinclair
winning the free fora and Elmer
johnson the green riders race.
Will Glaspell's horse winning the
horse race. Following the races
came the ball game between the
West Prairie boys and the Coop
erstown boys. The West Prairie
fellows won the game. Score: 6
to 5. It was a much more even
game than was expected and
most of the runs were made on
errors.

None Greater than the Great
Wallace Shows.

Thursday, June Both. The Great
Wallace. Shows will spread their acres
of white canvas in this city, and if
the advance reports are to be believed
the tented institution this season is
one of the two largest circuses in
America. The press of every city in
which the shows have exhibited have
been lavish in their praise of the
enterprise, particularly the Pittsburg
(Pa) Chronicle Telegraph, where the
shows appeared a short time ago.
This great newspaper has among other
good things the following to say:
The title of ''The Greatest Show on
Earth'' has been claimed by many ag-
gregations which annually visit this
vicinity, bat it is certain there are
none greater than The Great Wallace
Shows, which appeared here Monday
and Tuesday of this week.
Not feature as advertised was
omitted, and all who attended the per-
formances were loud in their praise
of the production and the honest way
in which the management conducts
the gigantic affair.
The management also claimed that
the shows are lofty in conception,
regal in appointment, and pure in
character. This is all true, and more
especially the latter. There is nothing
in any of the many and varied feat
ures of this great show to cause a
blush on the cheek of the most modest.
The show is full of many features OF
exceptional worth, and most of them
have no equal in the world, and the
$4,000 challenge that the world does
not hold thei, equals has not and will
not be tal;en.

The Successful Remedy for
 NASAL CATARRH

must be non-irritating, easy of ap- plication. and one that will by its own action reach the inflamed and diseased surfaces.
 ELEY'S CREAM BALM combines the important requisites of quick ac- ton and specific curative powers with perfect safety to the patient. This agreeable remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has, and both physicians and patients freely coneede this fact. All druggists cheerfully acknowledg that in it the acme of Pharmaceutical skill has been reached. The most distressing symptoms quickly yield to it. In acute cases the Balm imparts almost instant relief.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-04-22

the following year small fort was erected on the ground on which Cas- tie Moro now stands. During the war that ragged between France and Spain in 1928, a French privateer attacked and completely destroyed the town, reducing it to mass of ashes. h 1900, the Spanish govern ment erected Castle Moro and it's auxiliaries, the Punta fortresses. The structures were of timber. During the first half of the seven teenth century, French, English and Dutch privateers menaced the city. Occasionally it was attacked by the pirates, who, at that time, frequent ed the West Indies. All these at- Jacks were successfully resisted, al- though the fortresses were reduced almost to ruins. About this time; the wooden walls were removed, and in their stead, stone walls, which are the present Notifications of the island, were built.
 ''In 1762, a British fleet, consist ing of more than two hundred yes sells and carrying fourteen thousand men, under Lord Albermarle, cap tured the city and it's fortresses, al- though at the time of it's investment there were 27,000 Spanish soldiers behind it's walls, In 1763, the city was restored to the Spanish upon the payment of large sum of mon ey. The siege lasted from June to July 30, and at the time of it's sur render the city and Notifications were practically unin1ured.'
 "It is understood that the walls of Moro Castle and the Punta fort resses have not been strengthened during the last two centuries so as to withstand successfully bom- bardment by modern guns. Situat- ed as Havana is likely soon to be, with an American blockading fleet in front, Gomez and Garcia, assisted by weIl-trained and well equipped American soldiers, in the rear, the city can be captured without bom- bardment, and it's evacuation by in- vestment instead of by lombard ment will probably be the method adopted"
