WITCH FOR CIRCUS DRY.
Everybody Enthusiastic Over the Coming OF
the Bio Robinson Show.

Everybody Enthusiastic Over the Coming OF
the Big Robinson Show.
The advertised coming of the famous
John Robinson Greatest of All American
Shows to Langdon, on Thursday, June
28rtl has aroused widespread interest,
and it is safe to predict that the show
will receive an enthusiastic public well
come. The unusual merit Of this great
show is known and appreciated, and it is
doubtful whether any other similar OK
hibition could so thoroughly arouse the
showgoing public, and create the same
degree of antlcipatory enthusiasm. The
paramount features of the great exhibit
ton, which include Louis Cyr, the strong
est man in the world; the Harvey Family
of world famous acrobats; the Brothers
LaRole, danger defying aerialists: the
great Miller Family of bicyclists; Samuel
Burt, whose feats of equilibrium on the
independent ladder are simply marvellous;
William Dutton, Julia Lowande, and a
dozen other famous lady and gentleman
riders, and long list of novel attractions
to be seen only with this magnificent ex-
hibition. The John Robinson menage1ie,
with it's mammoth hippopotamus and
scores of dens Of rare wild beasts, is with
out an equal in the United States, and
the hippodrome races are rendered thrill.
ingly realistic by the Introduction of the
finest Kentucky and Arabian horses.
Circus day will be inaugurated with a
brilliant street parade, which will leave
the show grounds promptly ut ten o'clock
and traverse the principal streets.

w. j. Mooney was down to Milton

city for a week past.
| Shortly before two o'clock Sunday
morning fire was discovered breaking
through the roof of the barn of E. Fisher
on Second street. The Roadway made
by the flames before gaining the outside
rendered it impossible to save the build
ing and the attention of the department
was devoted to protecting the warehouse
of J. B. Boyd across the alley way. Mr..
Fishers loss besides the barn consists Of
his driving mare, two buggies and two
hundred bushels of oats amounting in all
to about $500 with no insurance The
warehouse of Mr.. Boyd caught fire several
time but at no time was IN any great
danger owing to the efficient work of the
department.
| Quite an active move has been afoot in
local militia circles the past week the
the eliminating point being reached
Tuesday evening when score of old Co.
E boys met at the Armory and took the
necessary steps to reorganize, having re-
ce1ved the assurance from Adj. Gen. Mil
Ter at Bismarck that they should be the
first called out in case North Dakota is
asked for more volunteers. Over thirty
in Langdon have signed the muster roll,
in addition to which Milton, Osnabrock
and Hannah have requested that as many
more of their boys be given chance to
fight Spain. Capt Chisholm has ten.
dered the governor his resignation, con.
sidering that the late turmoil might
sooner be forgotten by taking that step
The company will be officered by H. Wei
land as captain, j. P. DUNCAN, first
lieutenant and A. o. Void, second lieu
tenant. The muster roll is at H. Wei
lands and all those DESTROYS of enlisting
can enroll their names there.
