DON'T FORGET CONGRESS-.
1t Is Very Important that It Should
BE Republican,.

In the great political contest which
occurs in this country every four years,
and which is now on the election of
President is apt to overshadOw all other
interests. This ought not to be so. The
President is the head of the executive
branch Of the government, but the legis-
lative branch is equally as important.
Republicans should remember that it is
as important to hold Congress as it is
TO elect the President The election OF
Judge Parker would mean much more
than the induction of his personality into
that high office His election would mean
the election of a Democratic House Of
Representatives. and this would be most
unfortunate. because:
First, the Democratic party, composed
as it is Of all the distracted elements of
the country, is not capable Of success
fully administering the affairs of this
government. 1t has not the capacity to
deal with the great problems that now
confront us. Second, a Democratic
House Of Representatives would mean
that the entire legislative machinery Of
that body would be placed in the control
of the South; the Speaker the committee
on rules. and all the important commit
tees. as well as the chairmanships of the
same. would be composed largely of
Southern men and the great interests of
the North would be subordinated to
Southern policies. In answer to this it
may he said that a Democratic House
could DO no harm. as the Senate would
still be Republican and could prevent
any unwise or radical legislation But a
Democratic House could prevent Republi-
can legislation. and great harm might
result from that. The election of a Re
publican Congress is scarcely second in

Death Of Master Willie Webb.

Master William Thomas Webb,
aged 10, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Gleason G. Webb, of Webb's Sum-
NIT, died in Columbus Monday af-
ternoon where he had been taken
for an operation, of appendicitis.
The lad has been staying with
his grandparents Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Webb, of this city, for the
past six weeks, partly for company
and partly for the little chores he
was capable of doing to Tighten the
load of the aged couple. About
four weeks ago he began to COM
plain of not feeling well and his
grand parents, possibly, Thought it
a slight indisposition incident to
the change of location, water, etc.
but ten days ago he grew rapidly
worse and new doctors were called
in. On Monday morning DR.. A. X.
Smith was called and pronounced
it appendicitis and insisted that he
be taken to the Hamilton hospital
in Columbus, by first train, which
was done, but it. was then too late
and the lad died within an hour af-
he reached the hospital. His re-
mains were brought to Logan on the
late train Monday evening where
they reposed in his grand parents
house until Tuesday, when they
were taken to his home at Webb's
Summit to await interrment, which
occurred Wednesday afternoon at
l 80. The funeral was from
Webb's Church, Rev. Hughes, of
Hemlock, officiating. His parents
and grand parents have the sym
pathy of our entire comm unity.

standing the fact that they had In-

there was no bill of fare attached to
the invitation it is presumed that
they became suddenly aud seriously
indlsposed.

SELLS g. DOWNS
UNITED SHOWS
PLEASES EVERYBODY, ALL THE
ACTS GOOD ONES,
The Novelties and Elabortae Fea,
tures are What Attract the
Greater Attention,

Had it not been for the rain on
Monday afternoon it is safe to say
the Sells & Downs United Shows
would have been seen here by a
crowd that would have taxed the
capacity of the enormous tent.
There was fairly good patronage
in the afternoon and some three
thousand persons in the evening.
The best advertisement of this
circus is for an audience to see the
performance. As a matter of fact
there Is not bad or uninteresting
act in the entire performance. Ali
of the old, regulation circus acts
are there and are we'll performed,
but the novelties and more elabor-
ate features are what attract the
greater attention, claim the deeper
interest and make the audiences 8
faith in ''the circus" go up a peg
or two.
wELL-oRDERED ARRANGEMENTS,
Another feature worthy of COM
ment ls the well-ordered arrange
ments. Ticket purchasers are kept
in line by the men who direct them
to the ticket wagon. From there
they gain easy entrance to the me-
nagerie through the double gate
system, and it is the same in the
manner of direction by attendants
in the big tent. The unfortunately
usual rough element of attaches is
happily missing with the Sells &
Downs United Shows, as all of
those with whom the audience
comes in contact, are polite and
obliging.
From the menagerie it is then a
hurry and scurry to the big tent,
and an impatient waiting for the
performance to begin. After the
band-an excellent one has enter
tanned the audience for half an
hour or so, the usual tgrand pro-
cession" begins. 1t is headed by
the elephants and camels, the ri
ders of both sexes. richly capar1-
soned, the charioteers, zouaves,
ETC., following. Then follows the
usual circus program of bareback
riding, trapeze and ring perform
ing, tumbllng, slack wire walking,
etc. 1t is worthy of note that all
of these midair performances are
done without the use of a net un-
derneath and are as daring as any
other circus shows.
SPECTACULAR ZoUAvEs.
The most spectacular act and
one of the prettiest is the drilling
of the Pontiac Zouaves. 1t is diff
ficult to Imagine more of military
precision and regularity than they
show, and their whirling move
ments are all easily and effectively
The finish to their act
is sensational wall-climbing per-
formance.-Nashville American.
