own special trains and carrying big Menagerie
car loads OF superb horses and over 100 performers

beautiful band wagons. Its parades and perform
ances are described by the papers exceptionally
bright, Clean refined, interesting and entertaining
To the conventional features necessary to every
tent show are added Entertaining innovations,
many of a startling nature, which make the per-
formances unique and memorable
The stars of the ring performance beneath the
big tent of Sells Gray's United Shows are the six
Eddys, usually called the Eddy family-three
young women and three men. Their speciality is
acrobatics and the marvellous feats they accomplish
in this line of work have never been surpassed, OF
even equaled by any performer or group of perfor-
mers in the world. They were abroad all last win
ter, filling notable engagements, and came to Am
erica especially to join Sells & Gray's shows.
The Eddy family does not appear in tights on
the contrary the do their acting in dress suits
and the women in long skirts. They are the origi-
majors of this kind of work and do it well. Tumb-
ling in parlor dress is not easy. A detailed de
scripton of their acting cannot be given here. but
ii is scientific tumbling and pleases the audience:
that witness it.
To Miss Edna Marietta, the bareback rider
should be given the second place of honor. She i:

Edna first jumps it, and on the N KIT round

and is hauled to the ceiling With only the vas
strength of her jaws to prevent her falling to thu
ground, she swings round and round, gradually
increasing her momentum until she looks like
red, white and blue spinning top whirling in mid
air. When she comes down she is so dizzy SHE
reels and has to be led off the stage by her sister
who, also, has jaw that is no SLOUGH.
The Earl sisters, Maud and Hazel, also perform
aerial feats that hair raising. They leap from
trapeze trapeze with startling agility. and ado

Expelled for Baptizing his Daughter

Inez, KY, Oct. Rev. Ira Els
tepr, who for fifteen years has been
a minister in the Baptist church in
this city, has been expelled from
the ministry of the church on the
charge of violating the rules of the
church on the question of baptism.
A short time ago his daughter,
Mrs. Fannie Meeks, died, and just
before she expired she asked her
father to baptize her. She was too
i'll to be immersed, as the church
requires, and Mr.. Estepp performed
the services by pouring water upon
her head. For this act he was
brought before the Baptist congre-
cation in this city for trial, but
each time he was indicated.
Then the church obtained change
of venue and the case was transfer
red to Wards Chapel, three miles
north of Inez, where Mr.. Estepp
was fonnd guilty of violating the
laws of the Baptist church. His
license was at once revoked. Mr..
Estepp will appeal, to the courts for
redI ess.

THE Bow ON THE FARM.

The boy on the farm.-we al. love him,
Tho sometimes he's rugged and rough;
And sometimes he's ignorant, very,
And many 4 time he is tough.
But old Father Time, with soft fingers,
Win round off the corners, and then
Well see, with surprise and enjoyment.
These boys turn to grand, noble men!
Too many by far are neglected,
AND left to come up as they will,
With no mothers love for their comfort,
And no fathers hand to instill
Within their young hearts love of knowledge,
Or hatred of all that my harm.
Let's watch 'em, and guard 'em and love 'em-
These boys who are tired OF the farm.
Let's try to make home more attractive
BY that which mere wealth cannot buy,
BY kindness, and love that is active;
By letting cross words silent lie.
And some day some statesman soldier

That lay round the home of his childhood,
When he was boy Oh the farml

REFUSES TO RETURN.
SOmerS Contends that He Cannot
Get Fair Trial in Tennessee.

Sheriff Summons, who left last
week for st. Paul, Mimi, to bring
back Henry Som rs, colored, &C.
cused of the murder of William
LeWark, has written letter here In
which he states that "Somers was
tried in the municipal court and dis
charged on a defective complaint.
He was re-arrested by detective
and l imm ediately took the extradi-
ton papers to Gov. Vansant, and
tue hearing was set for 10 o'clock
Saturday morning. In the meantime
the colored population of st. Paul
held mass meeting in one of the
halls of the city and appointed a
committee to defend Somers. At
the appointed time 1 went to the
Governors Office and lawyer APP
peared and made an appeal for con-
tinuance, to show reason why Som
ers should not be returned to Ten
nessee for trial. The principal rea
son indicated was, that ii was i'm
possible for negro to get fair
trial there and that there was great
danger he would be lynched. The
continuance was granted and the
hearing will be before the Governor
on Thursday, Oct. 10th"
Immediately upon the receipt of
the letter from Sheriff Sammons,
petition was drafted, setting forth
the facts that Somers had been reg
ularly indicted after fair and ex-
haustlve examination; that upon his
return he will be given a fair and
impartial trial, and that there is
absolutely no danger of his being
lynched. The petition was signed
by about 200 of our best citizens,
including the county officials, mem
bers of the bar and members of the
county court, and also a number of
negroes. 1t was forwarded 10 Sheriff
Sammons at st. Paul and will reach
him in time to be used before the
Governor at the hearing to-day,
Thursday.

When the greatest of modern physicians,
after years of practice and close, scientific
study, gave to the science of medicine the
most wonderful remedy Of the present day, a
host of imitators sprung up.
No sooner was it announced that a positive
cure for nervous ailments, an unfailng blood
purifier, had been ditcovered by Prof. Phelps,
of Dartmouth, and physicians everywhere
welcomed Paines celery compound as the
most-to-be-desired discovery Of time when
modern ways of working and living had begun
to multiply diseases that arise from impaired
nerves and impure blood
When a great public demand arose for this
remedy from one end of the country to an
other at once, as in every such case, lot Of
cheap fellows began to try to impose upon
people one and another trade medicine, some
times harmful, always worthless, claiming for
them the uneNampled properties OF Paines

Naturally none Of them ever succeeded.
None Of them ever will.
Paine's celery compound made people well
The aged and iniirm found in it new and
lasting strength. Thousands Of women and

whom paine's celery compound had benefited.

their physicians to their friends, the glad news

Paine's celery compound is the most re.
markable medical achievement Of the last fifty
years.
1t makes people well. 1t is the one true
specific recognized and prescribed today by
eminent practitioners for diseases arising from
"a debilitated nervous system. Prof Phelps
gave to his profession positive cure for sleep
lcssness, wasting strength, dyspepsia, Bilious
ness, liver complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism,
all nervous diseases and kidney troubles. For
all such complaints paine's celery compound
has succeeded again and again where every
thing else has failed.
1t is as harmless as it is good, and it was
the universal advice of the medical profession
that the compound be placed where the gener-
al public could secure it, and thousands OF
people have year after year proven the wisdom
Of this good advice.
only a truly great and effective remedy
could continue, as paine's celery compound
has done, to hold its unriyalcd place in the
estimation Of the ablest physicians and of the
thousands Of busy men and women whose
only means Of Judging is from the actual re-
suits in their own home or among their friends.
No remedy was ever SO highly recommended,
because none ever accomplished so much.
