Robbinq of a BegGar.

The street beggar with pockets lined
with money is a fairly familiar figure
of city life, but one of the free dis
'pensaries reports an instance of an
attempt to get free medicine, on the
plea of poverty, that deserves place
in the catalogue of good stories of
graft" says the New York Post. A
,middle-aged woman appeared the
other day and got a prescription, after
which she took her place in the line
of persons waiting to have their medi-
cine made up by the apothecary.
This particular woman, it should be
said, had given satisfactory answers
to all the questions put to her, de-
signed to show whether she was a
proper subject for charity. Suddenly
there was a cry: I'm robbed! I'm
robbed" The victim was this WON
an, who so far forgot her previous
professions as to assert that her
pocket had been picked and that the
thief had got away with $50. Then
she lost the opportunity to get free
medicine, thus adding, in her view, in
suit to injury.

The four evening entertainments
for fair visitors will have for back

tie the finest ever seen in Iowa. The
management has spared no expense
in procuring the best music and the
highest class vaudeville, and the lat
ter includes the wonderful Miller per-
forming elephants; the Allison
troupe, the greatest acrobatic act ever
brought to this country from Europe;
Castellane and Volo, in the double
gap of DEATH, a marvellous death

Darktown fun making circus.
The chief music will be by Liber-
ats military band, of international
reputation, assisted by the Fifty-sixth

American Goods in Mexico.

American merchants could do so
per cent more business in Mexico
were they to study the character and
condition of trade in our country "
said Walter E. Grevel, of Mexico City.
The main trouble with the slow sale
of American merchandise in Mexico
is the fact that the merchants and
manufacturers demand that payment
for their goods be sent upon the re.
ceipt of the bill for the same, and
this bill arrives a month in advance
of the goods. OF course, our mer.
chants do not favor the idea of pay,
ing for goods before receiving them
On the other hand, European mer'
chants are liberal in giving time lin
its as high as six months, and, as a
consequence, enjoy a good portion oil
