Mr.. Henry Ferguson, of West Union,
while visiting schoolmates in Cresco,
took in Buffalo Bill's Wild West. He
is relative of Mr.. Frank Owens, of
the Owens Clothing Co. Mr., Ferguson
expressed himself us being pleased
with our displays, stating as fact
that the dress goods, especially the
novelties and plaids were much
better than those exhibited in cities
larger than ours.
The clans are coming as we write
this Thursday morning. They scent
the spoils of Office afar off and are
greedy for the plunder. Some of the
leading aspirants came on Tuesday
and have been busy repairing fence
ever since, buzzing in the ear of dele
gates and supposed influential persons.
We often have looked on and wonder
ed that persons who are possessed of
the means of good living without
the care or responsibility of an office,
should spend weeks of strife for an
office that will scarcely yield sup
port. There seems to be planted in
breast of man desire to rule, and the
strength of this amhitionin In some is so
strong and active in asserting itself,
that their lives are spent in hunting
for office. Others without thought of
the cares of office simply look forward
to good time and a salary.
Buffalo Bills day called more people
to Cresco than were ever in the town
before in one day and all seemed salts
fed with the time and money invest
ed. 1T was departure from the
|stereotyped circus that has appeared
annually from the time We writer was
a barefoot boy listening to their wild
music, stereotyped jokes, and curious
pranks, to the present when more
than three score and ten years have
gone over our head. The riding was
superb, the handling the lasso was
wonderful, the perfection in drill of
the horses shows them possessed of
intelligence next to man, their evolu-
tion in the chase, and their time in
such perfect accord with the music
was indeed wonderful. The rifle
practice approached perfection. Its
canvas, as said by the managers, has
capacity to seat 10000 people from
which fact observing people of good
Judgment can form a partly fair esti.
mate of the number present.

crooks and pickpockets, Tuesday, and
gave them the option of leaving Cres.

and being photographed for the
rogue's gallery. There is nothing
that a genuine crook so abhors as his
picture and description in the gallery,
SO OF course they cheerfully accepted
the demand that they leave Cresco at
once. The Sheriff accompanied them
to the depot, waited with and kept
them from mingling with the crowd
and when the train left they left fol

the crowd which would come to meet
Buffalo Bill, where they will of course

they expected to obtain in Cresco
The probabilities are that they are
responsible for the loss that Mrs
Bloomenrader, of Dubuque, sustained
| she losing a pocketbook containing
two certificates of deposit and $40 il
money while getting off the 12:4(
train that day. Had the sheriff beer

recovered her property.
