To Republicans.

We are anxious to have every Repub-
lican in close touch, and working in har-
mony with the Republican National
Congressional Committee in favor OF
the election of Republican Congress.
The Congressional campaign must be
based on the administrative and legisla-
tive record of the party, and, that be-
ing so, Theodore Roosevelt's personal
ity must be a central figure and his
achievements a central thought in the
campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions of One Dollar each from Repubh-
cans. To each subscriber we will send
the Republican Campaign Text Book
and all documents issued by the Com
mittee.
Help us achieve great victory.

G0llmar Bros. This Season

The greatest of American shows!
Always an event of more than passing
interest is that form of entertainment
which appeals most generally to the
public, the circus, and the Gollmar
Bros. this year bring it to its highest
expression. 1t is an accepted fact
that the exceptional and most artistic
in act and feature has always held the
ascendancy in their exhibitions and
whatever OF novelty has been procur-
able has been found in the program of
the greatest of American shows from
season to season. And in 1906 this
fact will be most clearly noted for
"thrillers," new enough, novel
enough and sufficiently daring to
engender the highest emotional excite
ment has been secured. In the arena
new European families will thrill,
dazzle and delight the audience in
what is far and away the most SEN
sational danger defying and expert
aerial act ever shown in America,
closely calling the world renowned
Flying Nelson's, in their new casting,
and return exercise in which these
stoical people gamble with destiny
and dare death in the performance OF
deeds which make the hazardous loop
the loop and loop the gaps, with
which most readers are familiar, look
by contrast like a parlor game of ten
pins. There are over 100 new ring
acts and in feature and exercise the
new Grand Entrees will present a
magnificent spectacle. The hippo
drome will introduce scores of new
races and stunts and 80 OF the most
celebrated clowns, testers and conf
ques will furnish side-splitting diver
tisement for the entertainment OF the
audience. A magnificent collection
of wild animals will be on exhibition
in the menagerie and a monster herd
OF elephants with the smallest baby oil
its kind in captivity. Remember the
day and date Saturday June I'd and
the magnificent, allegorical, military
and spectacular free street parade with
8 big bands and 80 pipe $4,000 calliope
at 10 a. m.

High School VS.. Lake Benton

The Lake Benton high school team
arrived in this city last Saturday
morning, where they crossed bats with
our home high school team. The day
was pleasant and a larger crowd should
have been in attendance. We are
sorry to sec so little interest taken in
the high school boys work and we
hope at their next appearance on the
base ball diamond that there will be
a much larger crowd in attendance.
1t is very discouraging for the boys to
have to play when there is apparently
so little interest taken.
The game was very interesting
and the playing was about even.
A great many errors were made on
both sides and the score at the end Of
the game was 5 to 1 in favor of the
home team.
In the evening a dance was given
the visiting team in the Odd Fellows
hall. The Lake Benton boys are a
nice bunch of fellows and carried
themselves as gentlemen while in our
city.

Mayor Gaffney writes:
Rev. j. NJ. Steadman:
Dear Sir-In reply to yours regarding
the effect that the removal of the dispen-
saries from this place and the county has
had on the community | would beg leave
to say that the result has exceeded the
most sanguine expectations of the advo-
Gates Of the measure.
Drunkenness has decreased so per cent
and disorderiy conduct 70 per cent, as
| proved by the records In the mayors
court.
The blind tigers ave never thriven, be-
ing easily suppressed by the vigilance of
the police. and we have very little trouble
on that account. The people generally are
in sympathy with the measure, and con-
sequently we nave their assistance In car

Coming Attraction

Among the plays of American
authorship, which have found favor
among the amusement going public,
few have excelled in point Of criticism
and financial returns that which is
credited to the delightful comedy
drama, "The Bankers Child" writ,
ten by Eunice Fitch, and received its
first production in New York City,
where it had a remarkable run, during
which period it received the strongest
endorsement Of the metropolitan press
This excellent attraction will be
here for one night only, at Grand
Opera House, May 25.

Why Buy McCIWe's?

McClures Magazine is bought and read in homes not because it is q mag
zine, but because lis the magazine. Why? ~
FIRST-THE PRICE. 1t costs but on dollar a year, or lest than ten cents
| a number, for over thirteen hundred two-column pages Of reading matter.
This amounts in actual bulk to twenty or twenty-five books costing anywhere
from a dollar to two dollars a volume.
SECOND-QUALITY. The reading matter is written by Americas leading
writers-the best short story writer's, the best writers N timely articles, the
best writer's of important serials, such a. Schurz's "reminiscences or Bakers
Railroad articles.
THIRD-TIMELTNESS. The reading matter in McClures is not only
good; lit is not only entertaining, amusing, instructive and inspring-it is
also about the subjects in which you and all Americans are most interested
at the time. No subjects in the next twelve months are going to be SO impor-
insurance. Both Of these questions will be discussed by authorities in a
impartial, careful, interesting way.
FOURTH-ITs CHARACTER. McClure's Magazine is not edited for
children, but at the same, time, there is nevera int in it that n young girl
might not read. Its advertising pages are IS clean as its editorial pages.

spiked hair. The hair is first divided
into a half dozen braids; then these
braids are stiffened with wax and tar
until they are as hard as kindling

head in a semicircle like the spokes Of

The Republican rally held in dis.

attended. The judges decided in
favor of the Insurgents, and every
body went home satisfied except one
young fellow; he felt SO small that
the contents OF his whole head could
have been inclosed in a peanut shell,
and his politics have been unheard
ever since.
