An Easy Grade.

Patronage, political. religious and So
cial, has seen it's best days in Eng
land, and it is becoming more and
more difficult, st. James Budget
opines, to find material for such a
story as follows
At the end of a political campaign
many years ago young man who had
worked valiantly for the successful
candidate claimed reward. The
prize promised was a sergeantcy in the
artillery. But the candidate found that
he was unable to carry out his prom
Use, inasmuch as it required six years
service to qualify man for the rank.
he became thoughtful, but finally saw
light.
docs it require six years to qualify
a man for lieutenancy?" he asked
one who knew.
Certainly not" was the reply.
"Well, make young Blank lieuten-
ant, them" said the candidate. with a
sigh of relief.
Blank was thus made lieutenant
for no other reason than that he was
not fit to be sergeant.

The Wild West and Far East.

Considerable interest has been arous-
ed in this vicinity through the announc-
ed appearance of Buffalo Bills Wild
West and Pawnee Bills Far East at
Beloit, July 20.
COL VIM. F. Cody, the original and
only Buffalo Bill" travels with the
big exhibition and positively appears at
every performance, rain or shine. Ar
rangements have been made with the
railroad officials to run excursions at
special rates from the various stations
along the line and there will be special
provisions for the accommodation of
those who wish to visit the exhibition.
To the small boy and the grown up
Buffalo Bill will be the chief attraction,
for his fame is not dimmed by the
years that have elapsed since he helped
write the story of the west through his
heroic deeds. One of the principal con-
tests of the redmen, in which he took
active part, will be pictured in the
open-air melodrama, The Battle of
Summit Springs, an engagement in
miniature introducing more than one
hundred Indians and as many cavalry
men and soldiers. Contrasted with this
scene will be an Oriental Spectacle
which will picture the gorgeous beau
ties of the Far East, its pageantry and
people, its pleasures and pastimes, and
its strange costumes and customs.
Turning again to American history
there will be An Attack Upon an Emf
grant Train, A Holiday at .'T-E''
Ranch, and The Great Train Hold-Up
by Indians, showing pictures of early
life upon the boundless plains. Rossi's
Musical Elephants will be a particular
feature of the Far East scene, and as
an individual feature of the Wild West
section of the exhibition Ray Thomp-
sons Trained Western Range Horses
will be shown in feats of grace and
equine skill. Sharpshooting by Johnny
Baker will be a particular attractive
feature, and bunch of bucking bron-
chos will furnish the principal comedy
element of a truly exhilarating and
strenuous exhibition.

The Pvronhore.

A living light, called the pyrophore,
makes illumination cheap and conven-
lent in Brazil. The pyrophore is a
monster FREELY, an inch and half
long. With one it is possible to read
fine print. and three will light a room.
The Brazilian peasant, when he trav-
erses by night the perilous forest
paths of his country, fastens to each
shoe a pyrophore. Thus illuminated,
he has no difficulty in avoiding poison
Gus snakes. pitfalls and wild beasts.
The Brazilian coquette fastens in her
hair or her corsage pyrophore in
cased in white tulle. The effect is as
of a great luminous pearl or opal
When a pyrophore's light goes out 1t
is not necessary to fill him up with
oil, to drop coin in him or to throw
him away. but moments ducking in
cold water suffices. Thereafter his
three little lanterns. one on the breast
and two on the back. emit again as
bright a radiance as ever. The pyro-
phore, as all nature students know, is
called vulgarly cuengo, but scientific

meeting at the high school. District
Clerk E K Loverud was elected to sue
coed himself, as were also Ed Drot-
ming. school district officer from the
Third ward, and K G Olson from the
district at large. The financial report
submitted to the meeting showed the
total receipts for the year to have been
$48, 1886. 26 and the disbursements $50, :
579.75, which left deficit of So, 643. 40
to be provided for this year, and by a
resolution a tax to cover this amount
was levied to be collected with the
other levies. For the payment OF
teachers wages and incidental ex-
penses for the ensuing year the sum of
$780, was levied, exceeding by just
SIS, 900 the levy made last year for the
same purpose. Bonds and interest on
the same to the amount of 1926 fall
due during the coming year, and the
total amount to be raised by the dis
trict this year will therefore exceed

Big Circus at GAINESVILLE.

Barnum and Bailey will exhibit at
GAINESVILLE on Friday, July 80.
Never since the beginning of time
has an amusement enterprise so ire
mendous in size been organized as this
one It's magnitude is almost beyond
belief. All America, together with
every foreign country, has been scour-
ed from end to end by agents of this
big show in search of novelties and the
result is a performance brim full of
sensational acts new to the circus
world. In the big Barnum & Bailey
show are nearly 400 arenic stars, most
of whom are seen now for the first
time. A new sensation will be seen at
every performance in JUPITER, the
balloon horse" This remarkable ami
NAL with its fearless rider ascends to
the dome of the circus tent in bal
loon and descends to the ground in a
shower of fireworks. Nearly 1000 ami
NAL wonders are to be found in the big
1O8 cage menagerie. Eight herds OF
elephants, including one herd that act
ually plays upon musical instruments IN
time and tune. A group of giant gil
RATS, monster trained hippopotamus,
only living bi-horned rhinoceros and
hundreds of other strange beasts. Bar
nun & Bailey's big, new, free street
parade is the most gorgeous process
sional display ever attempted in the
history of circus business. Its tremen-
dous size and wonderful length can only
be believed in the actual seeing. 1t is
natural to expect this big circus to lead
all others in quality and quantity of its
street spectacle as we'll as in other de-
partments of the big show, yet never
in it's splendid history of nearly half a
century has it displayed such extrava-
gance as is shown this year.

SHOULD BE ENFORCED THOR
OUGHLY.
The Guide Board Law, Recently En-
acted, Is Much Needed.

Following is the substance of a law
enacted by the late legislature on the
subject of guide boards and the better
and essential directions along public
highways of our state:
The town board of each town in the
state of Wisconsin shall cause to be
erected and to be kept in good repair
suitable and appropriate guide boards
along the main travelled public high
ways within their respective towns.
The expense of the erection and keep
ing in repair of all such guide boards
shall be paid out of the treasury OF
such town. Such guide boards shall be
securely attached at the upper end of a
post set in the ground, and shall when
firmly set project seven feet and six
inches above the ground.
There shall be painted upon such
guide boards in plain black Roman let
tiers not less than two and one-half
inches high, the names of adjoining or
important towns, villages or cities to
and through which said public highway
leads, the distance in miles of such
town, village or city from such guide
post, and any indication of direction
which may be helpful to the traveller.
If any person shall deface, injure or
destroy any such guide board and shall
neglect for the space of ten days there
after to repair and restore the same to
as perfect condition as it was previ-
ously, he shall forfeit ten dollars and
shall also pay as damages to such town,
three times the cost of repairing such
guide board, and it shall be the duty of
every town supervisor who has knowl-
edge that any such injury has been
done to make diligent effort for the de-
lection of the person by whom the same
was done and prosecute in the name of
the town and collect such damages for
it's use.

A Bernard Shaw Joke.

After addressing an Edinburgh meet
ing for ninety minutes once Mr.. Ber-
nard Shaw remarked that the time was
quarter to 10, and he had intended to
finish at 8 O'Clock. He did not seem in
the least fatigued; the audience were
also quite fresh, and when the speaker
was about to sit down loud cries of
''Go orr were raised on all Sides
DO you really wish me to go on?"
Mr.. Shaw asked. He was answered
by renewed cheering and more shouts
of go on!''
Great was the disappointment, there
fore, when he replied, '~That is the ex-
act point at which an experienced
speaker sits down." which he accord
ingly did
