ADAM FOREPAUGH AND SELLS
BROTHERS CIRCUSES.
An elephant is an "amoosin' cuss. "
Artemus Ward said so, and the world
breathes assent. And it will only te
short time now until the people of this
vicinity will spend hours in inspecting
the peculiarly fascinating and ponderous
of pachy derms in the world. The herds
belong to the combined Adam Forepaugh
aud Sells Brothers circuses, which will
visit here ON Tuesday, June 9th, atIwhich
time will be seen, In addition to the I'M
monse aggregation of wild beasts, circus
and hippodrome attractions, the largest
number of performing elephants ever ex-
hibited at one time.
The famous original Adam Forepaugh
group of dancing elephants, the Sells
Brothers giant tuskers and Professor Mel
ville's troupe of baby pachyderms are all
included in this rare assemblage of ami
NAL actors, and appear simultaneously
in three different rings, amazing and
surprising all by the marvellous intelli-
gence displayed. They dance a quadrille,
play clown, drink wine. play drunkard
and perform host of other comical tricks
totally at variance with the nature,of the
animal. The three great herds will also
be seen in the grand double street parade.

CONGRESS WILL MEET.

Congress meets in Washington
next Monday and there are several
all-important questions which will
demand early attention ht the
hands of the national legislators.
Perhaps the one that will be acted
upon among the first is the seating
or not seating of Roberts, the po-
lygamist from Utah, as a member
of the house. The sentiment of
the whole people is pretty well
stirred and the latest indications
are that both the people and con-
gress will be largely opposed to
making a precedent by allowing
him to be seated. Prompt and de-
oisive action against him now will
settle the matter for the future.

CONT FLY OFF THE HANDLE.

The conduct of few uncharit-
able persons throughout every
community, who do not take the
second thought in relation to mat
ters pertaining to running a coun-
try newspaper, causes every rural
editor to sometimes feel like ris-
ing to a point of order. An ex-
change very truly remarks that
running a newspaper without oc-
casionally publishing an item that
is untrue or gives offence is like
running railroad without smash
ups or accidents. 1t can't be done.
No man in the world is so imposed
upon as an editor of newspaper.
Pushed with work continually he
must rely upon second and third
parties for the information as to
the events that transpire. FIRE.
quently statements are received
from reliable people, but which
are subsequently discovered to be
without any foundation in fact.
If, therefore, kind reader, you find
yourself aggrieved by statement
in your home paper keep this fact
in mind. Do not fly off the
handle," but go to the editor and
ask for a correction, and take our
word for it, nine cases out of ten,
it your case is Just, you will be re-
ceived like a gentleman sand cor
rection made with pleasure. But
if instead of doing this, you go
around blowing about the editor
and his paper don't be surprised
if you get treated with scant court
esy when you visit the office.
There are but few of us who are

If the circumstances brought
out by the investigation into the
death of Jacob Uhl at the county
hospital in Denver, are simply sim
gle incidents in the history of that
institution, then the present man
agement should be made to suffer
the most drastic measures possible
to introduce, and be placed some
where beyond the pale of civiliza-
ton. Such inhumanity is not of
ten winked at by Coloradoans, and
it is not probable that this most
unsavory offense will be allowed
to pass without punishment of its
perpetrators.
