GREAT CIRCUS COMING.

The Rockford Morning Star, Rock
ford, III: The first circus Of the sea
son has come and gone, and il those
to follow give as good satisfaction
as did GoIlmar Bros. yesterday, those
who visit the tented exhibitions this
year will have been well pleased.
Everything around Gollmar Bros
show is new The costumes OF the
performers glitter with freshness that
is seldom seen. The tiger dens and
wagons are fixed up in the finest
shape. The performance is far above
the average The performers secured
by the Gollmars are of the best, and
many Of the acts are new and exclu.
sive TO this circus. There is another
noticeable feature, and that is the alb
sence of anything that is offensive
The performers are ladies and gentle
men, and one can go with safety
from fakirs and short change men
The two performances yesterday drew
big crowds and not word other than
praise was heard. Gollmar Bros. have
made good impression in Rockford
and we hope to see them again.

land, and that If we don't believe it
we can look it up in Col. Hostel
ter's Encyclopedia Of the moons
phases and total eclipses of Jupiter.
We become properly impressed Of
course, and begin reforming all over
again by taking out some stock in
the new venture at 10 cents per
share, fully paid and worcestershire,
(going to so cents next week., but
after the first dividend is about six
teen years in arrears it begins to
dawn upon our feeble consciousness
that the last reformer had not
brought us any nearer to the New
Jerusalem than we were before and
that we have merely acted as a lad
der for one or more angels to climb
to glory at our expense.
After several experiences Of this
kind we have become trifie suspic-
ious, and IL any more reformers show
up we are going to kindly indicate
to them where the door Of our shop
is located and facilitate their exit
in the shortest possible space Of
time, besides pleasantly informing
them that we prefer to remain in
the depths Of sin and iniquity for
the present unless they are prepared
to pay cash in advance and can DEM
onstrate their ability to seat us on
the throne Of perfection quicker than
the devil can.
We may be pardoned for remark
ing that it is about in this locality
where the reformer falls down. He
helps himself but doesn't help the
other fellow. We being the Aother
fellow" 1t has occurred to us on
numerous and divers occasions that
by right Of heredity, heretical per-
versness and profound wickedness,
we should at least be Untitled to a
ticket admitting us to one Of the
side shows of Zion, for, how in the
name Of George Washington and Bill
Bryan could these reformers get
their names written In the hall OF
fame or on our lamp posts il it was
not for us. How could they reform
anything IL there was nothing low
and degraded like ourselves to re-
form? We have furnished the ma.
terial for them to work on and SO
believe that we are entitled to me-
chanic's lien on one or two Of the
cobble-stones Of heaven.
You, dear brother, can go to the
primaries on the Gath and vote for
the Progressives and reformers II
you want to, and the Lord hove mer-
cy on your soul, but SO far as we are
personally concerned we have had q
radical cure and are tired OF grub
stalking reformers and then living
on skinned milk and promises.

WHAT THEY SAY

j.. 5. knauss: In gazing over the
world from our lofty perch we have
made a few observations during the
last century which have come peril
ously near to generating an idea in
our head. Our brain is yet soft and
fabby and shot fred against it
from a fifteen inch gun with an
initial velocity of twenty-five million
miles a second might possibly make
some impression upon it.
We have discovered, or at least
thiik we have, that several people
with a laudable desire to get into
heaven by using US as a stepping
stone, want to reform us and are
actually insisting that we be reform
ed in such manner as to provide a
fire escape for themselves in the
hereafter.
The Insurgents want to reform us,
the Prohibitionists want to reform
us, the preacher wants to reform us,
our wife wants to reform us, (and
she ought to know, and even our
neighbors can see where we can be
improved upon.
OF course we will admit that we
are extremely sinful and good deal
worse than anybody else In the world
but the Lord and Ruler of the uni
verse put us here and made us what
We are and under our present code
Of laws the people will simply be
obliged to stand for 1t so far as we
have been able to figure it out.
Reformation is a great thing all
right, but it has a few draw backs
which have evidently been overlook
ed by these heavenly messengers Of
reform, not Intentionally, it is true,
but just inadvertent omissions.
For instance after we have been
put through several PAGES of reform
and begin to imagine that we have
about reached the 33rd degree OF
glory with salvation exuding from
every pore and righteousness shining
from our noble brow like diamonds
on an Ingersoll one dollar watch,
along comes another reformer and
puts US next to some new species Of
reform and gently intimates that all
these other gentlemen we have train.
ed with were gross imposters and
wolves in linen busters. He tells us
that the article he handles is right
fresh from Skinnum & Soakums
nutmeg factory down In Connecticut
where virtue never ceaseth and the
voice OF Bryan is not heard In the

Busy Day in Court.

Mayor Rush had a good court this morning and if the city clerk can collect half of the fines assessed it will help some. Mayor Rushs long suit in the fine line seems to be $S750 and costs, and he managed to uphold his reputation this morning. He fined one negro that much for giving away a drink of mean whisky. He had a couple of them up for disorderly conduct and one Or two more for wife beating In the latter cases he stated that a man had perfect right to beat his wife if it could be proven that she was not willing to work for him. He fined one woman $5 and costs for allowing her husband to beat her, and then turned around and fined him $2 90 for not beating her.
 Sammy Ryan, the king of the Italians in this city, had a case in court, and by the way it seems that Sammy manages to get up there pretty regularly. He was not there in the shape of prisoner, bul simply to testify As usual his testimony was involved and after he had finished the mayor was heard to remark that the court could get along much better 1T Sammy would only speak 1t all out in a bunch instead of chewing the words up and throwing them away. It was the same old story of a man taking his fruit and then refusing to pay for it, putin this instance Sammy appears to have gotten mad because the man asked him for an extra sack The man was arrested and paid fine and of course Sam was made happy. Whenever he has case in court he always takes a day off, because it takes him about a half day to go home and style tip and the other half is spent in telling his friends just how it hap pened.
 Court did not last long, but it did very i well while it lasted.

Good Pay Day.

For the first time in several months a real good pay day was enjoyed around Bessemer on Saturday, and as a result the merchants were in a pretty good frame of mind this morning. Smith mines paid off and while the pay roll was not as large as it has been in the past a good deal of money was turned loose and most of the merchants report that business was very fair, both on Saturday and today.
 The streets on Saturday afternoon and evening took on the old time look, and it was generally remarked that things looked better. There will be several other good pay days between now and the 15th or at least 1t is thought that next Sat urday will be a good one, as several of the industries are scheduled to pay off at that time.
 In addition to this the Louisville and Nashville will pay off and that means a good deal of money for this city. Bus mess is still very quiet in comparison to what it has been, but it is admitted On all sides that there is somewhat of an improvement over the past few months and it is believed by @ good many that business generally will continue to im- prove.
