CIRCUS DAY.
ottumwa Will Have Big Circus
NAV 26

law lily SbSGo
May 26.
BY this time almost every person
living in this city and throughout the
adjacent territory for many miles
knows that the great Sells& Downs
shows will exhibit in Ottumwa, May
26.
The Sells & Downs show is circus,
and an up-to-date circus. Every detail
connected with it's presentation of a
lengthy but novel program is carefully
executed with an eye single to the sat
isfaction of the circus patrons. With
lit may be seen twenty-five clowns, who
ARE ably assisted by clown pigs, clown
dogs, clown monkeys, and clown don
keys. From the entrance of the
'Rube' clown when it's doors open to,
the farewell salute by the graceful
prince of fools during the races, the
little folks are sure of wholesome
amusement.
While the Sells & Downs show has
usual drawing power of circus, it
also possesses unusual magnetism in
the way of securing patronage, be
cause of it's unequaled popularity The
Iold-time and regular circus goers al.
ways notice something new and re-
freshing about the Sells& Downs cir.
Gus. New and novel features which
are far above the ordinary predomi-
nate in the Sells & Downs program,
while it is very noticeable that the
|so-called "old" or ordinary acts have
been carefully elevated and improved
SO much SO that even what have been
considered common and worn out acts
have been raised to a plane of merit
and attractiveness almost as high as
that of the feature of features. The
result is inevitably the same ir all
cities, the partons of the great Sells
& Donws show are agreeably sur
lprised and delighted Nobody com
plains of seeing ''the same old thing
when leaving the tents The same
old thing" is never with the great
Sells & Downs show.

At a meeting of the Democratic
County Central Committee held last
evening, the following resolutions
were adopted as the unqualified opin-
ions of the Democratic ard Silver
parties, says the Journal.
Whereas. By influence and means
unknown to us it has come to pass
that DR.. w. H. Patterson, a we'll
known, active and partisan Republi-
can, has been appointed as superin-
tendent of the Nevada State Hospital
for Mental Diseases by the Board of
Commissioners of the Hospital for
Mental Diseases, who were elected to
their positions by the votes Of the
Democratic and Silver parties.
And, whereas, we, the members Of
the Washoe County Democratic Cen
trail Committee, consider that by the
action of the said board they have
without reason cast a slur on the
other applicants, members of the Flu
sion party, who are in every way
competent to discharge the duties of
the Office.
And, in view of the action of the
aforesaid board and for other rea-
sons which are doubtless apparent to
all it is evident that the Fusion party
is being conducted in the interest of
the Republican party.
Therefore, be it resolved: That we.

RISE AGAINST TURKS.
Inhabitants of 30 Villages Join

Constantinople. April s.-Official adj
vices from Monastir say the Bulgarian
inhabitants of thirty villages in the
Okhrida district, totalling 5000 men ana
supported by the bishop and numDer
of revolutionary bands, have risen
against the Turks. They surrounded a
small detachment of Tuf kish troops iE
the mountains northward of Okhrida,
but the troops succeeded in cutting their
way out after sustaining considerable
loss.
Another dynamite outrage at the town
of MustaDha Pacha has led to the dis
covery that the revolutionary commit

attempt TO wreck the Oriental express
early on the morning of March 81 when
the bridge of the Turkish Oriental rail-
