The Macrarland & Holder Circus.

MacFarland & Holders United Shows
will exhibit at Woodbury., n. j., on Sat-
urday, May 21st. This is one of the clever
est, most entertaining and laugh-provoking
shows that will be seen here this Summer.
Twill be worth the price of admission to
see Edward Holders trained steers. They
are positively the only troop Of trained
cattle in the universe, and the educated
pigs, which are truly the finest in the
world. They actually do everything short
of speaking. The beautiful trained horse,
Governor, will demonstrate how near an
equine can come to being human, driven by
ths Queen of all Equestrians, Rose Mertens,
presenting the most unique act of its kind
which for beauty, eloquence and daring
stands unriyaled. The daring aerial act Of
the famous LaBorden family, novelty ex-
perts, will cause all to sit breathless while
performing their marvellous feats in mid
air, and oh ! the Clowns, the kings of fun
and frolic's realm; how they will make
the children laugh and scream. Yes, even
the staid grown-up folks will come near
bursting their sides with suppressed emo
tion at their capering, skipping, comicali-
ties and absurdities. / assure you that
you'll vote an enjoyable evening we'll spent
at the close Of this diverting performance.

Republicans Claim That Vacancies
Exist.
DEMOCRATS DO NOT AGREE
The Matter Will Probably 20 Con-
tested in the Courts to Deter.
mine the Legal Status.

| With the exception OF a few Of the
faithful. who were charged with ths
duty OF electing new police com.
mission for the city OF Astoria. no one
knew that such movement had been
formulated. or that any efforts were to
be made to oust the present commits
sion. Several prominent politicians
were interviewed on the subject yester-
day and there seems to be variance
In the opinions expressed. Republic
ans claim that the fact that w. II. Bar
ker has moved from the city and no
longer has legal residence here, that
his position Is vacant. That w. j.
Cook while claiming to be resident
of the city for political purposes, has
disposed OF all his interests here. and
has not been resident for over five
years He has been In the city but
little less than three months during
the past Ave years, and has attended
but two meetings OF the commission.
IL Is further contended that S. S. Cor
don was elected to MI the unexpired
term Of John Kopp, and that. accord
ing to the charter. his term expires on
January l. Section 1877 OF the charter
provides as follows:
Sec. 1877. The police commissioners
shall be residents. voters and tax pay
ers Of the city Of Astoria, and all va
cancies occurring In the board shall be
filled by appointment made by the
mayor Of the city OF Astoria. with the
consent of a majority OF the common
council"
City Attorney Smith was seen by an
Astorian representative. and stated
that in his opinion. there was no va
cancy in the office OF any OF the po-
lice commissioners. and that IL va
cancy did exist, by the removal, death
or resignation OF the incumbent, the
must be filled by appointment
by the mayor, subject to confirmation |
by the common council The demo-
Gratis are of the opinion, that the re-
publlcans stole a march on them, and

Barker, and possibly Gorden will be
vacant at the meeting OF the
common council next Monday night,

ice commissioners. This. II is

Cotton Experiment Farms.

Mr.. II. G. keenan,, alderman from
Ward i, has number Of cotton patches
on which he is making experiments
with the Adjudication of cotton seed.
A few of the bolls have opened, and
Mr.. keenan, is very much pleased with
the outlook. DR.. Weber, the govern
ment expert under whose direction the
work has been conducted, will be here
in few lays and will make very
careful inspection of the plants and
their fruit.
Much depends upon the success Of
the experiments this year. The object
is to get seed which will reproduce
itself and will produce staple Of not
less than an inch and three -eighths
in length. This is the fourth year,
and Mr.. keenan, thinks that some of
the plants are perfect specimens. If
such should be the case, the govern
meut might begin to send out seed for
planting next year, and the new vari-
cites might revolutionize cotton grow
ing in the South.
The average staple Of upland cotton
is only three.fourths of an inch. The
new plant would produce staple twice
that long and Of superior texture.
This would increase the value Of the
staple as q raw product to be manu-.
factured. The long staple cotton Of
the sea leland variety or Of the Egyp-
tian variety will not grow in the Pied
mont country, and the purpose Of the
government has been. to breed the
long staple cotton on the stalk Of the
upland variety in order TO increase it's
hardness and to get it to mature ear.
~, as the summers are shorter here
than on the coast islands.
There are several secondary objects
to be accomplished one being to prop.
agate seed which is free from lint.
This will make it more veua5le to the
oil mills, for it will require less ma
chinery in the handling. Mr.. keenan,
has some varieties in the fourth year,
in which the seed is almost separate
from the lint, and the lint can be taken
of without particle adhering. In
these patches are many kinds of freak
varieties, such as the brown cotton,
which is very much like wool.-Co.

In giving his evidence the farmer

endeavored to frighten him.

pared to swear that this man shot
your pigeons?"
II didn't say he did shoot en-, y
was the reply. II said | suspected
him o doing it..
"Ab, now We are coming to it.
What made you suspect that man?'

SOFT C()I2lF:

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest Of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
