A welcome exhibition.

The announcement that Prof Gen
try's famous dog and pony show is soon
to exhibit in this city has led to numer-
Gus inquiries about the details, such as
the location of the grounds and prices
of admission. The character of the
show is so well known that people vii
regard the information as news and
consequently we have made inquiries
with the following result: The show
which it is needless to mention, is the
best one of its kind in the world, will
exhibit under their own waterproof
tents, which will be located at Bridge
Park, old ball grounds, days, begin
ming Tuesday, October 8; afternoon al

The prices of admission are children

which caused destructive landslides and
floods, gathered at the head OF the Bay

ing heavy rain in Calcutta, Dinajpur,

SOME FACTS IN THE CASE.



The .IntelIigencers Convicts Itself Of .
Newspaper Fraud.
The Inteligencer has progressed in its
degeneracy from shouting epfthets to
an enthusiastic desire to gamble, and
with the typical gambling instinct, it
wishes to bet on what it procfaims to
be a "sure thing" The Register de-
cineS to either bet, shake dice or shoot
craps upon the matter under discus
sion, or any other but it stands by its
position that not only was its interview
with Senator N B. Scott an exclusive
one, but was intended to be such. This
probably will not suit the Intelligeneer,
but that cannot be helped. The Intel
ligencer says it interviewed Senator
Scott lin the evening"" by arrange
ment during the day" Can it be pos
sible that Senator Scott arranged to
have a reporter, armed with a lantern
and painfully cropping his way over OBJ
stacles and through the dark corridors
of the incompleted Mcclure House,
awaken him from slumber. at eleven
o'clock at night? The Intelligencer
could as well have obtained the inter-
view when the arrangement" was
made, as an hour before midnight Will
the Intelligencer tell who gave them
the pointer that night, that the Re
gister had an exclusive interview, caus-
ing the subsequent disturbing of Mr..
SCOTS slumbers-if they were dis
turbed?
