The Gentry Show.
revive.

The Gentry show arrived in
Logan early Sunday morning from
jackson. All day Sunday the
grounds near the depot were
crowded with our citizens, desir-
Gus Of seeing all that was possible
to see in the rapid erection of
the out fit of so mammouth an
animal AGGREGATION. The day of
the show opened under very un-
favorable circumstances, as a
heavy rain was falling which no
doubt kept great many people at
home. AS it was there was fair
sized crowd to witness the street
parade at 10 o'clock. The parade
was excellent, in fact the best that
has ever been seen upon the streets
of Logan. The baby elephant
"Ping Pong" attracted great
deal of attention and applause.
Some idea of the enormous cost
of operating a show like the
Gentry Bros. can be obtained by
the following figures furnished us
by Mr.. Tabor, the press agent:
Railroad cars valued at $18, 900,
elephants 81, 400, camels 81, 200,
sacred bull $500, monkeys 81, 600,
ponies $1,000, tents and paraphen-
ALA $4,000; the total value being
$4,000. The daily expense of
the show is $500.
AS to the performance, under
the management of Mr.. W. E.
Wells, it was the finest ever seen
in, this city; not an unpleasant
feature in the whole performance,
each animal knows his part to per-
fection. The show was delight
to the little ones and greater de-
light to the older ones. Both af-
ter-noon and evening the tents
were packed. The concert given
by the Yamadi Japs was well
worth the full price of admission.
If Gentry Brothers should ever
revisit Logan they would be ac-
corded a hearty reception.

caster.

PLEASANT VISIT.
Party of Campers Call at the Reform
Schooi.-Mr. Grove and the Wasp.

From the Boys Industrial School
Journal, Lancaster, Ohio: A party
OF Logan young people, while
camping near Crystal Springs, un-
der the leadership of Mr.. Cart
Bright, son Of Judge Bright, of
Logan, spent few hours sight
seeing on our grounds last Monday.
$50. Mr.. and Mrs. Buckingham
have been visiting at their home
near Logan since Saturday. When
they left here Mr.. Buckingham
was not feeling well, and their
vacation period will depend upon
the length of time required for
Mr.. Buckingham to recover his
health, 49,. Mr.. and Mrs. Grove
returned Monday evening from
pleasant ten days vacation which
they spent at Columbus and
Bremen, Mr.. Groves old home.
During their visit to the latter
place, Daddy met decendent of a
wasp family whose home-nest he
had robbed many years ago when
ne was "barefoot boy" in tho.
village. The out come of this
meeting was not very pleasant for
Daddy, if appearances can be taken
in evidence, for his face looked
like he had encountered whole
generation of wasps. However,
Daddy and Nanny had restful
visit with their friends, and re-
turned to their duties here feeling
much benefited by their vacation.

The Ohio State Fair at Columbus
September Ist to 9th.

The State Fair of Ohio, which
opens at Columbus Monday, Sept.
lst to continue until Sept. 9th, is
assuming proportions never before
reached in the history of the man
agement. All the exhibition space
in the numerous vast buildings has
been taken, and the public may
expect an exhibition complete in
every department of industrial in
terest and in every detail of ar
rangement. The live stock de-
partments, with the largest and
best buildings ever known for the
purpose, will cover all the known
breds of the several classes, and
from the best stables, herds and
fiocks in America.
The special attractions provided
for fair visitors are many and of
the highest order. Among the
outdoor daily free specialties will
be Hermann, in his daring ride for
life, feat on bicycle, down a
stairway seventy-fve feet high.
The Weitzmans, high wire per-
formers, in numerous difficult and
hazardous acts, including "the
elephant walks the rope" and
many others.

For YoRrY years the Democratic

For PoRTY years the Democratic
party has been the adverse ele-
ment in this nation, says Repub-
lican spellbinder. But still his
party is running away from the
righteous wrath of an outraged
people, and are seeking a place of
safety directly in line with ever
contention of the Democratic party
in this campaign. The Democrats
have demanded relief from the
trusts, now the Republicans are
demanding it. The Democrats
have insisted on a revision of the
tariff, now tho Western Republi-
cans are insisting on the same
thing. The Democrats condemned
"Hell Roaring Jake" Smith and
his "howling wilderness in Samar,
and the Republican President fol-
lowed suit. And yet the Demo-
Gratis are the adverse element!

Now that Logan voters have ex

Now that Logan voters have ex-
pressed themselves so emphatically
in favor of the paving of our city
the rest seem disposed to make it
unanimous. Tho opponents were
for the most part merely doubtful
Of the advisability of the proposal.
Not being sure that it was advis-
able they didn't want to advocate
it, but now that the responsibility
of the matter has been assumed by
so vast a majority the others are
ready to step up and get a seat on
the vehicle of progress and if
necessary boost a little at the
wheels.

Who Is Prosperous.

While the Republicans are flood
ing the country with figures on
prosperity it might be well to see
who the prosperous are. The
Steel Trust is making money at
the rate of $14O,O 900, 900 a year.
No one will deny that that is pros
perity. The Beef Trust is selling
beef at figures that puts about 10
cents in their Golfers on every
pound of beef the American people
have to buy. Certainly that is
prosperity. The Coal Trust is
charging two dollars for one dol
lars worth of coah No one will
deny that they ought to be max
ing a few dollars as they go along,
and that they are feeling slight
evidences of prosperity in their
pockets, too. The typewriter
manufacturer is selling type
writer's to American buyers for
800 each which he can afford to
sell in England at $50 each. He
is undoubtedly prosperous at that
rate. The sewing machine manu-
facturers are selling the house
wives $17 sewing machines at $50
each, and that is prosperity.
But what about the other fellow ?
When the public spirited men of a
town want to build a street rail
way they must pay the Steel Trust
$2S for the same kind of steel that
that organization ships to England
and sells there for $23 per ton.
Does that make the buyer pros
perousp Last May and at the
present time, the laboring man
had to pay 25 cents for a pound of
of the same kind of beef that the
Beef Trust ships to London and
sells there for Is cents per pound.
Is he prosperousp The Coal Trust
makes the consumer pay $40 for
So worth of coal. Perhaps the
consumer feels that all is prosper
ity while he is doing so. When
the American business man wants
to buy typewriter, he is charged
just 800 for a machine that is
shipped from here to England and
sold there for $55. When the
busy housewife, who has to do her.
own sewing in order to help her
husband to make buckle and
tongue meet, wants sewing
machine she has to pay $40 for
machine that her English sister
can buy for $17. In the face of
these facts who will have the.
hardihood to deny that ours is
blessed prosperity with the tariff
fostered trust manufacturers grow
ing richer every day at the ex-
pence of the people2 The pros
perity of the trusts is not the pros
perity of the people. /

This may seem peculiar caption
for announcing the street paving
victory of Saturday, but we posi-
lively believe, that that day and.
that election was turning point
for our town. Victory meant on
ward and upward for our town
defeat meant stagnation and ruin
to us for gears.
The friends of our town went to
work with a vim the last Of the
week, resulting in there being
705 votes cast, almost as many as
in general elections, 56i being in
favor of street paving and 141
against it. The enemies of i'm
provement soon saw the drift and
got in the hay.
The result by wards was:
