IF'rom the Atchison GIobe.1

When a man has a clever wife. ever
notice how he let's her run things2 He
is glad to get rid Of the responsibility.
Considering the monotony of a mar

When the average person decides to
do anything rash, he let's his best friend
know in time, In order that his best
friend may put a stop to it.
Notice is served on the preachers, who

1t is this healthy public sentiment that
makes the world good or i'll; that en-
courages worthiness, and makes evil
unpopular.

SHOW FOR FUSION.
r. e. Curran Says Union Sentiment is
Growing

There is a sentiment for fusion be-
tween the Populist and the Democrats
throughout the state that is surprising
" strong reports Secretary J. Fl. Cur
ran, who has been travelling widely
through the state Of late. He says the
only thing that halts fusion is the mat
ter of a name for the combined party.
The Populists are willing to a large ex-
tent to become Democrats if they can
be enrolled under the name of Union
party.
Secretary Curran unconsciously drops
the impression that the taking up of the
Union" party name by both Demo-
Gratis and Populists would give a wide
opening for other wings that they
would not be slow to take advantag e
of. If the regular Democratic organic
alton goes into the Union parry it would
leave the way open for the Gold Demo-
Gratis to file on the party name; and il
the Populists become Unionfsts for the
rniddle-of-the-road Populists to file on
the name Of PopuIist party.

Performances.


Performances.

gave two performances, one this morn

out of the two performances.
Allan Sells, the 10-year-old son of
Willie Sells, and grandson of Allan
Sells is showing himself a worthy son
of his sires. He is the head man of the
Sells circus troup which is holding

Allan Sells himself, two acrObats, a
base drum, a snare drum, and several
large dogs in the grand aggregation of
world famed artists which compose the
show.
The circus was complete in every
essential part. 1t gave two grand open
air street parades just before its two
performances. The procession marched
around the block bounded by Eight.
Monroe Seventh and Quincy, with
drums beating and flags flying, and
Allan Sells himself at the head, leading
his big black dog.
Allan Sells costume deserves more
than passing mention He wore a red
cap, variegated trousers, and a big

youthful abdomen. His face was COW

There was one discordant note which

in his eyes, and said:

anyway. Allen Sells wants to be the

country. 1t is made clear that the
Naval authorities will do everything in
their power to uphold the prestige of it's
Naval officers, and that no cost will be
spared to make investigation of the
charges against them. However before
starting out costly courts martial to
the uttermost ends of the earth it might
be wise in future to investigate the
credibility of those who make the
charges, and the chances that there are
OF finding reliable witnesses. The
charges against Commander Tilley sim
ply dropped to pieces. But it was too
bad to put him to the anxiety and his
country to the expense
